Mr. Menksfield, coachman to the Duke of 2.smbridge, who accompanied the Prisoo:ers to the Hotel, has port ably suffered by their artifices, but has at all events be •n completely dup d. The Pri soner Mortigen called at his house, and asked to see his sun, who had been at Hanover with the Duke of Cambridge, stating that he had just ar rived from that country. fie ;.ad kept a public house in the vicinity of Hanover at the tome the Duke of Cambri.'g• was there, and he was conse quently known to the servants us the Duke. "('he Coachman re:eived him as a friend': visitor to his son, and, after a while, the Prisoner asked the fa vour of a sheet of paper to write a letter. He in formed the Coachman of the expeEted arrival of the Russian Noblcsse, and asked otm to condudt him to Long's Hotel, where he said he was about to pro. vide for their reception. the Coachman assented, without susoeCting his visitor ; and the Prisoners be ing in such company, Mr. Long could nut sus pea their meditating a fraud. Another charge was preferred against the Pri soner, by a gentleman from Edinburgh, with whom the Prisoner Mortigen formed an acquaintance, as the gentleman was coming up the London River. He represented himself as a Courier, belonging to the Secretary of State's Office. By assuming a fic titious chandler, and other artful designs, he ob tained from the gentleman three guineas. A landlord in Butcher-hall-lane, Newgate-street, appeared to have suffered most by the fraudulent condudt of Mor; igen, who occasionally slept at his house. He used to call himseof an interpreter to the British Government, who was also employed to furnish money from Government to different fo reigners. He used ta talk of his transactions with Mr. Goldsmid ; and one evening he went in haste to the house of the landiord, and revested the loan of twenty-one guineas, tor the immediate conve nience of some Tut ks, who had arrived, as the bank• ing-houses to which he had access were shut, and he would return 0: money t!:e morning. He had before, nn diffes eta occasions, given t! e landlord a teference for character to Mr. kl ommersly Vs, banker, to who;n, he said, hr WAS known dhe money was advanced, and a supper was ordered by the Pri soner to be ready at ten o'clock for the Turks, but neither Jews nor Turks made their appearance. Some other frauds were investigated resp• ding tlie Prisoner Mortigen, who appeared to heat the whole of this busiuess jestingly, and frequently, by his boisterous and assumed consequence, prevented the heating of his accusers. He boasted of his ardour and bravery in defending Hanover ; and *1 his transadions wr h men of consequence in this country. f lie accusers, he said, had sworn him to be a Cornier and other dignified charaElers ; and they might as well swear that he was a Governor of an Island ; for they could swear as heartily as him- Luppini seasa gentleman's servant The Pri sot:ors were committed for trial, and the parties 'ogan,l over topic‘i.clac.

Jahn. was inclifted ter stealing privately from Mr. Barden, a Rea note, value 3001. in the dwelling house of Kelly, publican, Petersstreet, Soho. It Appealed in evidence, that in consequence of the Mtn:dation of a Mr. Davis, an attorney.. the Prosecutor had confided altogether his affairs to the direnhon of the Primmer, whom Davis informed him WAA an officer in the army. Mr. Bartlet had to some time been separated from his wife; from this, and some other trifling circumstances, the Pri soner rook oc-asion to remark to the Prosecutor, thet his wife and some others had conspired toge ther, for the purpose of proving him in a state of lunacy, that they :night come at his property. which was then vested in the three per cents. Having once frightened him into this idea. the Prisoner found it easy to persuade him to convert this stock into cash, which he might always carry about him. and thus defeat the designs of his enemies, by im mtdinte flight. should they persist in their deter mination. Doting the whole of this trans:Union, the Prisoner never left his Ward ; and when Mr. Arnell, the Stock-broker, who sold the stock, on the 7th of July, gave Mr. Bartle a check on Messrs. Boldeto and Co. for the net produce of the sonic sold. amounting to 6191. I's. 61. the Prisoner was dos present. The Prisoner, who it appears was at this time totally destitute cf money, found it re,cresary to re sort to some new expedient to jenny his continuing to live on Mr. Bearden. He represented to him the danger to be apprehended from the ceetinuation of his wife's resentment, aed propoxed, that he (the Prisoner) and Mr. &inlet should go down to Ramsgate, where she lived. and promised there to ef frit a reconciliation between him and his wile. They went down to lisensgete, where t:.e Prisoner, after an interview with Mrs. Barden. mid, he feared it was impossible to effeel it by any other means than by taking his ion, of whom Mrs. Bartlet was demi inely fond, from the employment of Mr. Newbold, at Fulham, and threatening to remove with him to America, if she persisted in living apart from him This pi eposal was also agreed to. and they set out for Fulham. Mr. Sankt remained at the inn at Fulham, while the Prisoner went to fetch his'sem. Ile son retie n rd, and said, young Bartlet had been absent sonic days from home about business. Mr. Bartlet now beg.n to grnw weary of the Prison er's company and interference. and endeavnured to escape the vigilance of his guardian, by crossing the River there iii a beat ; in which, however, he was discoveted end stoppi d by the Prisoner, elms, after some upbraiding, insisted on his returning with him to Linden, in a chaise. On their return, the Prisoner frequently intreduced spirits, with an intention to intoxicate Barnet. Previous to their entering town, he r. collects pelf elly well, he bad his money safely deposited in his right pocket, on which side the Prisoner sat. They set up at the Welch Harp Inn, Peter -street, Soho, where they were scarcely stetted, until the Prisoner called for a quartern of brandy, and pressed Bartlet again to drink, who was now in a state of intoxication. Bartlet said. he would pay first for what he had gotten, and produced his pocket-book, which Kelly, the publican, Mid, he had seen in the Prisoner's hand, prOe to this trenseaion. On opening it. they perceived it contained retching ; Bartlet accuse:l the Prisoner as the thi f, who immediately sprung tip, clenched fie fists, amid swore that he would chastise him, if he totted to repeat the insult. He immediately, in company with another stranger, left the tap-room together, while Bartlet and Kory, in vain, endeavoured to secure them, as they suc ceeded in making their escape by the back way. On the 7th of August. Mr Hunt, clerk to Messrs. Haywood and Co. received from the Pris iner, who called himself Mr. Henry St. John, a lodgment of 3001. in one Hank of England note, and supposed him to be a military mart from his appearance. This note, which was indorsed H. St John. and mat ked Nt. 333, he that day remitted to the house of Menus. Mesterroan and Co. In a very few days, Me. St. John drew oat almost the whole turn, leav ing but a very small balance in hands ; for this balance, he called on their Correspondent, Mr. Henson, on the 3lst of Chnober ; Henson affixed 1 het to be Acquainted with :he wet sum, and went into another office, as if to inquire ; he then secured the outer door, and sent out his clerk far an officer ; he returned. and informed the Prisoner his clerk was then searching for the letter which contained the statement of the account; the Pi iinner became ra ther uneasy at the delay, and said he might pay the trifling balance to a Mr. Rem, since he cattle not conveniently wait, as there was a lady, who was unwell, then waiting for him in a chaise ; he then signed an authority, which Mr. Henson drew up, empowering Mr. Rem to receive the balance. He was then departing, but Mr. Henson told him he could not permit him to leave him, sine.- he had received advice that the note for 3001. lodged by Mr. St. John in Messrs. Haywood and Co.'s hands, had been stolen from Mr. Bartlet. The Primmer immediately denied his name was St. John, and rushed one angrily, towards the deer. which he found secured, and soon att. r, the Constable artised and arrested him. The Prisoner's hand writing on the authority *as moved to resemble that on the back of the Bank Nate. It was also proved, that on Mr. Bartlet's asking the Prisoner, after his arrest, hove mach of his money he had yet remaining, the Prisoner answered, about 2301. and offered to pay him this sum if he would not appear in evidence against him. The Prisoner teen urged, iu his de fence, the possibility that existed of his not having taken the note, is the first instance, from the P;nse cuinr, es there ass no direct evidence of the tail ; and grilse. red, that the last Witness had not fairly stated the c usversation that took place in his office, as he had Avows,' to the Witness, not only that he himself was not &. Joao, but that Mr. St. John had sent him fur the munef, and was then with tne lady in the chaise, iii waiting. The Prisoner then re quested the Witness to acconteauy him to the chaise arid arrest ht.

John Pordhooo, and John H...oey, were indieled for burglariously entering the house of James Spencer, on the 18th of December last, taking from thence several articles of value, and zssailting his son. Sarah Taylor, s.mvant to Mr. Spencer, heard, at seven that evening, a rap at the door of her mister's house, situated in South-street, Pander's End ; she opened the door, and three black *acid men, armed, entered, who t.eized young Mr Spen cer, and put a p;stol to his face.

After some time the robbers returned, d moncrirg toe k..ys • f two drawers above stkirs. "Toe Witness had recovered from his fright, and darting suddenly . forward, he struck the sentinel a box in the face, which dislodged him, and the Witness escaped to the hall-door, where lie was seized by two in:lre; his coat yielding, he made off completely. In this affray, be reeerved a black eye, and hot his hat; and uncut the party, he thinks, snapped a pistol at him. He could almost be certain Brid g e was one of the patty, a. he wore no mask, had red whiskers. and Ala remarkable II having lost his left hand. John Spenc. r only corroborated the evidence of the foregoing Witness, and thought Bridge was tan• of them, in which statement Mrs. spencer also agreed.

Robert Ivy, apprentice to Dexter, Pawnbroka. in Whitechapel, swore Bridge had pawned .sere woman's which Mrs. Taylor proved to be her property.
