Yesterday, the five footpads, who have been in custody during the 'sat week, were brought up for re-examination before Mr. READ. Captain Peters, of Beckenham, in Kent, stated, thaton the evening of the 11th of February, about seven o'clock, he was travelling is a single horse chaise, on his return from London, when be was stopped by three footpads, armed with pistols, upon Penge Common, near Dulwich ; one of them seized the horse's head ; the other two ap% peered at the sides of the chaise, and he had every reason to believe the Prisoners, Ilooper and Bow dee, were two of the robbers. _ _ . Adkins and Lavender produced the property found upon Hooper and Bowden, and Capt. Pe ters ideutitied several of the articles to be the pro. perty of which he was robbed. Anne Stewart, the wife of Lieutenant Stewart, who was travelling with Capt. Peters in the chaise, said she was extremely alarmed when the roblsers stopped the chaise, and she could not help calling out, i n consequence of which, they made use el the most horrid language, and one of them put a pistol to her head, and kept it there, threatening to blow her brains out if she made the least noire any more. One of the robbers was much taller than the other ; and, from the voice of the prisoner I looper, and other circumstances, she had no doubt of his being one of the robbers. The prisoners, Bowden, Hooper, and Sadler, were charged with a most daring robbery. Mr. James Best, of Buekstead, said, that atmut twelve o'clock at noon, on the 12th instant, as he was travelling in Purley-Hollow, near the thir teen miles -stone, be was stopped by three footpsds, who robbed htm of cash and Dotes to the amount of £5O, and, to the best of his belief, the Prisoners Bowden, Hooper, and Sadler, were the men. The Prisoner. Hooper struck him a violent blow oa his Mouth, which knocked out two of his teeth, and swore he would kill hint if he made the least re sistance, or gave any alarm. The Prisoner Sadler gave him a most violent blow ou his side.with his list, and threatened bim. The Prisoners were re-committed for further examination. It is espeeted several other charges will be brought forward against the Pribouers. The Assizes for Cornwell commence on Satur day, when the very inteteeting trial of Sir Cttats toratta will take place, for bribery, at the Eleitiort for Penrhyn, in November, Moo; and for which he was declared by a Committee of the House of C'oilinions unduly elected. -We under stand Mr. V. bite, Clerk of the Election Com mittees, has keen subpeened with the minutes, as well as Mr. Gurney, the short-hand writer, (who took the notes before the Committee) to attend to give evidence. A fire broke out, on Saturday, at Chelmsford, iii which, we regret to state, two young women peri,hed. They were apprentices to Mrs. Sarni, milliner, %Nue house was one of those destroyed.

At Stoke, in Buckinghamshire, a few days since. a labouring man, of the name of WILLLT, was found in a chalk-pit. into• which he fell about a fortnight before, us he was going home to his cot tage; his faithful dog, who bore him eompFy, same also shared the sae fate: In this subterasti us habitatimi he and his dog were found by Some mi ners descending into the pit; when the man was discovered freAliiix on one of the legs of the dug. which hunger I:na compelled him to kill, mot which a few minutes before he had torn off to sup port nature. He immediately rrceived every pros -614 relief before he was brought to the surface ; and, by proper attention, in is few da d s he was ena bled to walk about, but regretted much the loss of his fat ourite dog.
