It wars :the Prisoner's duty to examine these certifi cates; he had the custody of the weiperong officer's notes. In was the Ibrirreiree'e duty to exernine the signatures to the certificates. hut they were riot very Bice in looking to them. The book iii which the certificates are entered is called the duty-lead ledger ; eV the end of each week the inuie.her is made out by the Prionier. which is a copy from the duty-paid ledger. The voucher would contain all the dutyepuirl certificates. After the voucher is merle out and examined with the duty-paid ledger and certificates, and then compared with the coon . toe-parte of the permits, the certificates are afterwards tied up its bisprller. The drawer would coutuin only the reetificates of the current week. In the month of Jnly, at the latter end, on a Tuesday, 1 received wane information, in consequence of which I made inquiry in the office. and saw the Prisoner on the subject. I think on Monday he told me there was a double number 198 in the office, that is, two certificates bearing the same trundler; we tweet together to Mt. Mayo's office, and as we went the Prisoner said, " I think we had better riot say any thing shoat ritionber 202." 1 examined the certi ficates afterwards with Mr. Philip.. Crows-extetnined by Mr. ALLOY.—The Prisoner has been about fuur years in the office. 1 know ' Mr. Grant, who was clerk to Mr. Robert Giunt, who acted as brisker ; he" has absconded about a month since. We are not very nice tu the sigria- ture to the certificate. The erunilwrs of the permits I do not go out aleiree in regular order. The drawer in which the certificates arc_placed during the week is not locked. A broker that was ill-disported might have seems to it. It was communicated to me that the Prisoner complained that a fraud had been practised by Grant by means of a double number. The Prisoner's seat is, the office is railed in. James Crouch examined by Mr. BOLLAND.— lam tobacco warehunee-keeper. lam desired by Mr. Jones to call on the Collector of Duties erery t. Monday to know the amount of duties the pre , ceiling week; 1 called on Monday the 30th July 'turd took an 'crowed of them myself ; 1 gave the account to the Prisoner. The number was 83 hog.- hearts 113,232 lbs.. duty 2 4 2,6412/. Ba. It was the Prisoner's duty to check it against his own accounts, and if both, are right they would agree. I eon • tiuued in the Office that mottling, and the Prisoner told me the eccourit did not agree, ,aud that the tliffereoce was 3271. a certificate of which Mr. Grant got the permit. The Prisoner named it to Mr. Jones also. I knew Robert Grant; his busi vets frequently called him to my office. The Prisoner knew him too, I have seen them go out together. Grant . came to the office that Ilse, and Prisoner meritioued to him something aboitt the • trouble Dumber.; Grant said he knew he had plod the duties, and that was all he knew or cared about. 011 the next day I mss inquiries, by 51t. Jones's direction, and found that there was iint acv signed b.II tallying with the certificate for 3271. to the afternoon I made a further search, and found a warrant in the Prisoseer's desk. [The forged certificate produced.] That is it ; Ido not think it is the signature of the collector. The war- Sam was loose with the warrants of Monday and Tuesday, and there was a bundle of the preceding week's warrants numbered, put together, hut not tied up. Oe turning to the ledger 1 fiad an rutty of the number 202 ; there are two numbers eO2, and I have seen this ledger, where there was ao double try of No. 202. The Prisoner made both the entries. I saw the Prisoner engaged on the Ist August, the day after I found the warrant '202. writing limn a leaf that was written npon. It was a loose leaf ; a leaf has been taken out of the led ger ; the leaf I saw him copying from was of his liarel.writing, and was uuhedlike the bunk. Cross-examined by Mr. A DOLPHUS.—Mr. Grant was a deeratt respectable young man. The I'6- sorter was the first to tell of the irregularity, and that it was which occasioned an inquiry to be set on bot. The Pawner was the first aho spoke to Grant publicly of the double numbers, abet 'villa Grant disappeared. Taking up the certificate in a curscry wry, it might escape my notice that it was not the hued-w riling ut' the collector. The Pri sons( v--s absent room the 10th to the 16th hoot sickness. Win.

On the Tuesday morning fuliowing. that is. the 31st July, 1 learnt that all was not right; I met Mr. Crouch, who told site there was a mistake in the warrant, acid wished me to are what was cleared on the 25th. I went to the collector's office, but could wet bud the duplicate; I communicated that to , Mr. Crouch. 114 not see Robert Grant that day. At the corner.of the street 1 live in 1 met the Prisoner ; .he asked me where Robert wus to be found, or wfiere his friends lived, as Ire must and would s:-!e him. I told him where'Rnbert's mother rived, cud he wished me to go home to dinner with him ; this was about three o'clock. I went to Ito bed Graiii's brother and to his mother's. but 1 have not seen him since. I have paid the duties twice on the two warred's. i weld to the Prisoner'. house in' Lambeth. and took a friend with me; he tasked me if airy thing more was discovered, and I told I believed their was; he told me that Ro bert Grind had frequently been at his (the Prison er's) house, and that he mice had some money trausactions with him. Cross-minim d by Mr. ADoI.PHUS—I learnt by acrid - cot where the Pinsoner.lived. • J. am collector of the Excise tobacco ; the signature to that certificate is not my Card-writing. • Robert Wright--I am clerk to the comptroller of Excise duties; the sigoature to that certificate is not my hand-writing.

Bull, shopman to Mr. Absolom, a tailor, proved, that he ou the 26ili July received from the Prisoner the Dank note, No. 10,461, for 5/. The Prisoner when called upon for his defence declared his entire eeoce throughout the tiaus action. Several witnesses were called, who gave the Prisoner an exeravbry character. Mr. Justice RICAARDSON then summed up the evidence with his accustomed impartiality and dis ceinnuation. He observed, that it was strongly in favour of the Prisoner's • melee, that he had been the first to discover the fraud of which Ro bert Groot had been guilty. with respect to the double number 198. The Jury retired for half an hour, when they returned with a verdict of Guilty. PRUSSIAN FORGED NOTES. Manasseh Isaac Gouldstein was then put to the bar. Mr. PLATT moved to arrest the judgment on' two grounds : First, Out the indictment did not set forth the instrument charged as forged with sufficient clrarness to inform the Court ; and, secondly, th.t ruminant to a statute of George 11. all indictments should be drawn up in the English language. The Learned Gentleman fortified his objections by a reference to the cases of Lyons, Mimi', Lloyd, mid Gilchrist. Mr. HOLLAND was shout to reply, but Mr. Justice Rlcuattosou postponed the discus sion to s future day. • • - PoLICE. MANSION SWUM _ AN EGREGIOUS IMPOSTOR.

ROBBERY OF THE HOUSE OF SOLOMON AND SON, PALL-MALL. It will be recollected that the boast of Mr. Solomon, an xtesalve jeweller and dealer in watches, Pall-mall, had ken hos glariously entered by thieves some time ago, sad robbed of considerable property.

The Prisoners both declared their insocesee, and after some cuwultntios between the Magistrates sad Mr. Solomon, Field was discharged upou his promising to attend gaits when required. Lawless was remanded. RIOT IN ST. JAMES'S PARK. Charlotte York and Catherine Carpenter, two abandoned women, were charged with creating a riot in St. James's Park, and assaulting the seutioelims deity at the Glelt• Park gale on Wednesday night. It appeared that the Prisoners attacked the soldier with the grossest linguage, calling out " Lobsters!"—" Piccadilly butchers !"--" Murderers !"—" King's mewl" — aud oilier scurrilous language, till a mob of four hundred persons collected, and were prozeediug to acts of violence us the soldier ; he was seized by the belt, slid his fireluck at tempted to be wrested from hint, brit fortunately three cor porals of the Ist regiment of guards came up, and mein the precarious situation of the sentinel, they repaired, to the guardhouse, and procured assistance to lake the Prisoners into custody and disperse the mob.—Cummitted to priron. SEDITION. A horn-boy, named Cooplon was brought up by E. Pepper, a constable of St. latent's, :barged with easing seditious Imogene, sad inciting the populace agensat the King and Government. The constable produced a bundle of papers be had taken from the Prisoner, who was crying them shoot in Jerniyn. street with world lamentations us Wedwesday sight. They purported to be the sorrowful and last laineutationa of lion e men sod one woman ordered for execution at the Old Bailey, uir Tuesday next. Al intervals, when giving out it was their last farewell to the world, he occasionally harangued the mob which collected about him by d—g the King, whose agents in his absence brought the unfortuasie cres tures to an ignominious death ; and ibe King himself, when he arrived from Ireland, his first act was to order them for execution. His language towards the Royal Family and the Ministers, the.ollicer said, was too sewn - limn and barnd to repeat. The Prisoner expressed great contrition, sod wept bitterly. The Msgisitate told him there could be no excuse for his conduct in endeairuaring to defame the Kik mad his Mi. nisiers by diesemiurtitie such scandalous reports, which tended to bring them under the iudigration of the lower classes, who themselves in time, by such doctrines, would become the victims of their iguurance and folly.

A Jew, named Liao, -as brought up en a night charge from St. James's watch-house. A waichntau, in St. James'a- Menet, said he found the Prisoner, about one o'clock in the morning, kicking violently at the doorof the Blue Posts in the Haymarket. He endearrowred tip dissuade him from such conduct, but the Prisoner abused him grossly, and took hint by the colter in a violent emitter, which conduct induced him (the watchman) to take him to the watch-house. The Pi biotier styled himself • Geseilemau, but be was represent. to be the keeper of a brothel iii Oxeaduu-street, and a prostitute was called to prove the fart. There was another charge against him for assaulting one of the watchmen in the watch.bouse, by throwing • slog of cold water over hins—The Magistrate ordered the Prisoner to Sud RIART-14-1110MC OFFICE. BRUTAL ASSAULT. Yesterday Me. Levies**, a mailer carver am/ gilder, re siding at Iso. 2, Carburtou.street, Mat - pie-bone, was brought up from the waidebouse, and charged before the sitting Ma gistratis, John Raw/boson and Edmund Griffiths, &qrs. with violently aselulting and beating his wife, who now ap peared in the Justice Room, and exhibited a frightful spec tacle, having the features of her face quite distorted, by a pair of black eyes, is broken nose, cut mouth, aad lacerated yaws. • It appeared from the evidence adilnced, that as Smith the watchman was going his rounds, crying ten o'clock, on Wednesday night, to passing the Defendant's house he was alarmed at hearing the cries of " Murder!" vociferated by a female apparently in want of assistance inside; he cane. seemly knor ked at the done, but was refused admittance; he listened fur a time, and hearing a bustling noise, and the Hies becoming louder and more alarming, and ass immense mob collecting in front of the hussar, he hastened and gave inform:slime to Parried and Wiliam, two aunt Aka, of llsa circumstance, and they hastened with all possible speed back with hun. It being evident that admissitos could ant be gained into the house without breaking open the door, nor even then without the almost danger to those at tempting to enter, as the occupier is considered to be a man of most unguteraable passion, it was resolved that some policy should be used, and Purford, with his accus tomed caution, knocked genteelly at the door, when, after a lapse of a little time, it was opened by the Defendant, who appeared without coat or waistcoat. He. or espying the constablta, endeavoured to shut to the dour. but they being more powerful, entered, mad ern arriving in a small parlour inside the shop, these found the Complainant lying speechless and apparently dead on the bed, and her face covered with blood. A basin of water lay un a chair close by, with which rt appeared some person bad been striving to revive her, and bathe her wounds. She recovered after a lit. the time, bat seemed much exhausted. The constable then secured the Priestlier, but nut before they experienced consi derable resistance from him and one of his apprenftces, who, together with the former, were conveyed to the watchhouire. The Prisoner, after having a suitable lecture read to bias by the Magistrate on the enormity of his offence, was ordered to be locked up until he produced good trail. The appren. lice was also ordered to Sod bail. The Blood-money Conspirators.—G. Vaughan, together wish Brock, Pelham, and Power, who our readers may recollect were tried and convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions in September, 1816, and sentenced to live years imprisonment, charged with swearing away the lives of innocent persons for the sake of the blood-money, have served out the term of their imprisonme n t, an d were yesterday discharged ow eutesiug into secoguizalice, them selves tit eighty, and two vcreties in forty pounds each, for their good behaviour for three years. Yesterday sennight * most daring burglary was committed near Hereford, at Belmont, the seat of JOHN MATTHEW'S, Esq. by rouse villains, who having broken a window on the ;, ;round Hour, un. fastened a shutter, oral entering b y the broken pane forced open a large writing table and rifled it of notes and cash to the amount of about twenty-four pounds, sod of several articles of small value. The noise made by the thieves was heard by more than one person in the house, who conceiving it to pro ceed from a part of the family, gave no alarm. The circumstances of the burglary being speedily made known, on Monday Daniel and Thomas Davits (calling themselves hasten-workers), were appre hended at A isergaVenny, 11041 were committed under the strongest circumstances of suspicion to Hereford county gaol. A letter to a gentleman in this city, the writer of which is fully qualified to give a correct opinion, says, if all ihe hops are picked that are sound and good, the duty will be the largest ever paid. From five to 600 new pockets have arrived in the Bo rough from Kent, and the fine samples sell well-- fer the inferior scarcely any demand. Kent pockets are worth 565. to 65.. Inferior 30s. to 455. Sussex, 50s. to 565. The duty is now laid at 200,0001. (Hereford Journal.) SIR ROBERT WILSON. • • [FROM ♦ MORNING r♦rßt.l Great mystery is affected by the Ministerial press respecting the real causes of the dismission of this gallant officer from the British service. We cannot say on our direct knowledge how far the annexed solution of it is entitled to credit, but we receive the narrative from a respectable correspondent, who announces it as the accredited explanation in the military and ininiaterial circles:— " On the day of the Queen's funeral, at the time the procession was approaching Cumberland-gate, and after the firing by the military at the people had commenced, S.r Robert Wilson rode up to Captain Oakes, then on duty near Cumberland. gate, and remonstrated with him on the conduct of the soldiers under his command, which he said was disgraceful to the regiment, and injurious to the character of the service.' Captain Oakes re plied, Sir Robert Wilson, I know you perfectly well, but I shall enter into no discussion with you on this point at present. I shall do my duty, and my men will du theirs.' Nothing further passed on that occasion. On the following day Captain Oakes submitted the occurrence to the other officers of the regiment, in order to obtain their opinion on the course which it become him, as a man of honour, to pursue on the subject, lle was willing to regard the affair as one of a personal nature, solely •tect ing himself, and only required their sanction to take mornediately the proper measures to obtain re parstMn. The other officers of the regiment, how ever, refused to allow a transaction which they con sidered to imply • general reflection on the regi ment to be adjusted on the terms of a private difference, and would not consent that Captain Oakes should take the affair upon himself in the manner proposed. A statement of what occurred at Cumberland-gate between Sir R. Wilson and Capt. Oakes was iu consequence drawn np,and transmitted to the Duke of York ; his Royal Highness, on re ceiving it, caused a privateinquiry into the cerrect ne,s of the facts to be instituted, and having found them established to his satisfaction, he referred the whole affair to the King, who in consequence caused his royal pleasure to be declared, that Sir Robert Wilson should be dismissed the service." ,; - -, ••••1•1. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Sir Robert Wilson was riding at the moment of laded to with the other Gentlemen who attended to pay the Last tribute of respect to her late Majesty. When be heard the pistol shots, he exprti.sed a de sire to go up to the spot, and at least ascertain the cause of them. Nis friends would have detained him, from consideriog that his presence at such a scene might, like many other innocent and well meant acts, be liable to malicious construction. This. Sir R. Wilson declared to he unworthy his re. gard, so long as there was a chance of saving one life, or dissuading the military from the smallest exercise of violence. Ile therefore acco►ted the commanding officer, simply asking I whether it was by his orders that the soldiers tired 'Flue offi cer replied " No." Sir Robert then begged him, " for God's sake to interfere and prevent' die effu sion of blood." The bring dud, as our informants have assured us, cease almost immediately, and by the interposition of the officers. Another report states that the cause of offence is contaiued in a letter which has been found, addressed by Sir Robert Wilsou to Bonaparte at St. Helena, explaining sw by the reflections upon the character of the latter, contained in his History of the Cam paign in Egypt. The room in Brecon Priory, the seat of the Mar duis of CAMDEN, in which the Kinn s l e pt on Thurs ay night, on his way from Milford to London, is called King Charles', Room, and which was occu pied by that Monarch, on his visit to Wake, nearly two centuries ugo. About test o'cloc-k on Friday he arived at Troy-hoose, the seat of the Duke of BEAUFORT (a shoat distance from Monmouth), where lie slighted and took refreshment ; but as his Grace resides at this seat only occasionally, and not being then there, a relay of horses was sent from the Beaufort Arms Inn to the above mansion. At Haverforilwest we understand the Rev. Aidt deacon Weiss of Brecon and ooe of the Canons Reeidentiary of the Cathedral Church of St. David's, brought a congratulatory address to his MAJESTY, on his arrival in the diocese, expressing also a wish that his Maicanr would do the Chapter of St. David's the high honour of visiting the only Cathedral Church in the kingdom, in which his MAJESTY has a stall, and at the same time declaring the unfeigned attachment of himself and every other • Member of the aforesaid Chapter to his MAJESTY'S Person, Family, and Government. It is a circumstance honourably characteristic of the present tune, and whirls proves dissent from the church is not necessarily followed by hostility to it, that in several orighbouriag places where new churches are now building, liberal MOMS in aid of their erection leave b-est paid by Dissenters.— ( Wolverhampton Chronicle.) During the past week, there has been a consider able quantity of grain cut in this neighbourhood, and although much of it is in a soft state, the farmers are busy in leading it, for fear of a change in the weather.—(/Yeiccruile Paper.) On Saturday se'imight two inhuman fellows tied a cow by the tail to some rails in the dilapidated building, once a summer-house, to Hereford Castle Green, after which they beat her in the most cruel manlier, when the animal, in endeavouring to extri cate itself, broke off a part of its tail. The offen ders were afterwards snitimoned to appear before the MAYOR; but it appearing that no malice had existed previous to the cruel act, sod on the princi pal offender expressing coutrition for his conduct, and agreeing to pay the sum of 50s. the owner of the cow consented not to prosecute them. On Wednesday se'intight. about two o'clock in the afternoon, as Mr. RALPH TROTTER, aged 17, and his sister ELIZABETH, aged 15 years (son and daughter of Mr. WIC TROTTER, of Sledgwick Hall, near Barnard Castle), were fording the Tees, on horseback, at Wycliffe., they were overtaken by one of those sudden descents or rapids which fre quently occur to that river, and before they could reach the shore were swept away and drowned. Their bodies were found shortly after, but ttaa late to restore the vital spArk. DUB L.

The curtain rose and displayed the signal parade of a grand procession; but the performers were instantly assailed by the moat appalling vocal interruption from every part tithe tires- Ire.

Au incalculable concourse of people were collected to see the punishment inflicted; the pio.u►anufae tory and other places of basiness were deserted during the time. The women were particularly outrageous in their execrations eipinst him: they called out to the executioner dial he dad not flog him sufficiently severe, and at the conclusion •of the flagellation, and on his being untied from the cart, it was with the greatest difficulty he was kept front the women exrcuting their vengeance upon him on his way back to the prison. It is under stood that the cruel and unfeeling wretch said that lie had been employed to steal the children, but refused to tell the motive. Au excise hearing took place before the Magis trates at Truro, on Saturday se'nnight, to inquire into a new invention for defrauding the revenue. It appeared that more thou ten persons had for some time past been in the habit of "giving away" beer or ale (us they professed) tooll corners promiscuously. But the ale was accompanied with a certain propoi tuns of biscuits, according to its measure. With a pint of ale, for instance, three very small bis cuits, in vane not a farthing, were p►oduced. And ostensibly for the-e biscuits three-pence, the actual price of the ale was paid; with a quart of ale, six biscuits at sixpence. And the people dispensing their biscuits and ale, has been thus pleasantly occupied under the full persuasion that no law could arrest them in the exercise of their hospi tality. They found themselves, however, mistaken. By this unlicensed conduct, they had each incurred the penalty of Sol. which, on their conviction, the Justices were pleased to reduce by mitigation to the forfeiture of 101. for each house, and that tine was ordered to be levied accordingly.
