Mrs. Thompson was Ingram's housekeeper ; 'lngram is • publican in Bedlinelbury. Ann Thompson could trot say whether the note produced was the same which she gave to the last witness.

The Prisoner, however, did not keep his. appointment, nor could the officers find him at home. This was communicated to the Magistrate, who granted a summons, and on the ex amination the depositions were taken in writing._ The Prisoner said, when again called on, that he did Hot know exactly from whom lie had taken the note, but lie believed it was horn "one l'hompson, of King-street."

CHARGES OF EXTENSIVE SWINDLING IN THE CITY. Yesterday the two mem, earned Palmer and Court, who were brought up ou Monday by Hawkins, the l‘larshalman, underwent another examination, on several other charges of haying übtsiued goods feloniously. Mr. Harmer aricilltdas Solicitur on behalf of the Pri. goners; a Solicitor attended to conduct the prosecution. The depositions made against Palmer on the charge of having stolen • quantity of groceries from Mr. Rochfort, grocer, of Rishopagase Churchyard were signed. The eir cathistances of the ease have bees already stated. It was stated by Mr. Ittrehfort's shaman that the other Prisoner, Court, came in company with another man, sad offered to give up the goods or pay the v.alue, on condition that the prosecutions should be given up. Offers of this mature had been made by the parties repeatedly. hut Mr. Eoehfort, of coarse, refused to accede to them. They then tried to ob tain posses ion of the order, and the other prisoner, Court, was particularly pressing on this point, and said that be wan sure it was suet Mr. Taykrr's order. (In another case, Court was stated by Mr. Cole to have represented himself as the partner in the firm named Taylor.] The parties were Wend over to prosecute in this ease, and a comtniimi sit was made out against the prisoner Palmer, to take his trial for the capital felony. Another charge was preferred against the Prisoner Palmer by Mr. Edwards, • grocer ; another by Mr. J.

MARY-LI-BONE. Yesterday Mrs. Summer', who keeps • respectable lodg ing house i• Somerset-street, Perinsamsquare, waited on the Magistrates to ask their advice bow to act with • little girl named Selina Freeman, aged Moe years, which she brought before them. Mrs. Summers the• narrated the fol lowing particulars:— The child above amused was the daughter of • Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, Who formerly kept the King's Arms tavern at Cheltenham, and at the age of 18 mouths was placed out at nurse to an old woman named Dank, in the parish of St. Mary-le-bone, at I. per neck. They had three more children, Iwo boys and •girl ; the latter was take• notice of by Laity Irwin, and tier I.ailyibip took her into her family, where she still remains. About five years ago the parents failed in bosiurss, and they sold u hat property they had, and embarked for Irrland, taking the two boys with them, but leaving the two infant girls behind. The poor old woman who bed the care of the little girl Seliva, on hearing her parents had left England without taking lemur their child, took it much to heart, and she was taken ill in consignenee. She fed, clothed, and instructed her at her ow• expense, and no tidings had ever been heard of the parents. About a twelvemonth ago the old woman died, and her husband, a feeble old man, was obliged to apply fur relief to the parish fur himself and the child. Mrs. Summers seeing the girl to he something beyond the lowest rank in life, per ma•rntly took bee into bee family, and Ireated•lier as one of her own. She ernithicte4 herself in • very becoming man ner till within the last month or two, when she became quite unmanageable; she would leave the house for two or three nights together, and on her return would sit and sulk, and if spoken to by Mrs. Summers shit would nut answer her. Mrs. Summit rs was of opinion she had got linked with bad company, and therefore it was dangerous fur bt r to keep her in the house, as die Countess of Orkney and suite were at present with her, and valuable property was lying about in all directions. Mrs. Summers meshed to Imo* %whether she could nut get her admitted into the parish workhouse. Th• Magistrates told her that she should be relieved from her burden, and that the girl should be r e gularly pas; home to her palish at Cheltenham ; at the same time reprehended the conduct of her unnatural parents. Mrs. Summers thanked the Magistrates for their attention and left the office. Yesterday—ALL SAllTl.—Holisky st the Bank, Exchequers East Indio, and South Sea Horses. HOWARD ud GIBBS' BANKRUPTCY. The Commissioner held another Meeting on Tuesday, at use o'clock, at Guildhall. Several creditors proved witboat any opposition. lir. Frederick Walls& presented biasorlf to prove a debt of 42111. being the amount of cash (2001) lent by him to the baukrupts, awl sums received by them for his use. Mr. Adam, objected to this debt, and he did so, becalm in the pass book between Mr. Walsh and the bankrupt's, there was a balance 'struck in April last of 7001. and 'loom& is favour of the bankrupts. There were subsequent entries to the credit of Mr. IValsh, and from these arose the halftime now claimed. One of the entries to the 'credit of Mr. Walsh, since the striking of the balance to April, was 1,2181. the meant of an sunnily payable by Lord Foley to Mr. Walsh. Mr. MONTAGUT slated, that in November last Mr. Walsh purchased fur 1,200/. an annuity from Lord Foley, on the too dertaking of the bankrupts that they would repurchase from him, which they did by a bill at a month, and which bid was duly honoured ; so that this purchase bad nothing to do with the present claim, which was fur money since lent to similar dividends of non•ities received by the bankrupts for Mr. Walsh. Mr. Walsh was debited for 1,2001. the amount of the bill at one month. Mr. Alums—Theo, if it were for the purchase of an an. Emily, why nut give him credit fur the amount of tune annuity at the time? I wish to be understood as not distinely stating that the annuity was not purchased in November, and that the bill was nut drawn fur the purchase money ; but when Mr. Walsh is debited for the mount of the bull, and not credited fur the annuity at the same time, 1 think some explanation necessary. Mr. MONTAGUE—Then, the only question is, whether the annuity was purchased previously to 'lee bankruptc), and if so, was the hill drawn for the purchase money ? Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Walsh were examiused, and bolls de posed to the farts stated by Mr. Mootague. Mr. CONlTigtiOfter GOULBUR:4 had considerable doubts respecting this claim. its ciminquence of the Iralaore struck its the pass book, in April last; but as his brother Commis sioners seemed to think the transaction clear, he did not dis agree with them.—The debt wait then allowed to be proved. MR. CARROLL'S CLAIM. Mr. Illommus had been in the country since he last hail the honour of addressing the Commissiouris, and bad teii•sil in his mind this claim of Mr. Carroll's, and had stated the circumstances to many conversant with bankruptcies, all of whom were of opinion, that Mr. C. had a right to•prore on the bills of eaebaogr, without reference to any oilwr amorists between him and the bankrupts, particulaily when, un the other account, it would appear that a balance of 9,0001. se cured by mortgage, was due to Mr. Carroll. if it were not contrary to the practice of the Cominissioners, be should wish to be again heard. Mr. Commissioner TIMIECK—Mr. Carroll would not an swer what we thought legal questions, and we world not in consequence permit him to prove. If lie be now ready to answer them we will fix a day fur hearing him. Mr. Motcraaut —I don't say that Mr. C. is ready to an swer them, and I wish to be again heard in support of Mr. C.'s right to prove without refetelice to any other acconnla. I think, if I had un a former occasion staled the matter clearly, the Cominissioueis would not reject the proof tea dered. Mr. Commissioner Trtnatc9—We have before decided that the questions are legal, and we cannot hear shy argu ments against that decision. We are chair upon the point, though we might be wrong. Adjourned at three o'clock. MAILS. The following alteratiosts in the arrival and departure of mails et the postmffice of Leeds have taken place. The hew Liverpool mail now arrives here from York at half-past one o'clock in the afternoon, and is dispatchvil westward at ten miaow* before two. The old Liverpool soil Hull mail arias et Manchester at • quarter past four &cloth in the af non, and is dispatched esstwanl at twenty minutes be e five o'chick. The letter box closes as usual, in both cases, half an boar before the departure of the mails. The **Tangential. regarding the arrival of the Loudon mail, and the establishment of the Dewsbury •nd Haddersfidil mails, are not yet complete. The office will, in future, open fur the delivery of letters by the West mail, at fifty urinates past four in the aftertme, instead of a quarter past six o'clock.— (Leeds Paper.) Alteratimos in the hours of arrival and departure of se. veral of the mails from this town have lately been directed by the Postmaster General. The mail from Bristol, which formerly did rot reach until tight , now arrives at ■ quintet. past six in the muruing; and its departure hence is altered from five to half past six in the rimming. The Matielitater mail will, in (stare, leave this town at half-past seven in the morning, instead of eight; and will 'mire front Manchester at half-past tea in the morning, instead of two in the after noon. In future also, the letters from Liverpool, and on the line of road to that town, will he conveyed to this place by a short mail from Lichfield, which will arrive here at half past eight in the looming. 'lle latter is a most important regu lation to the merchants situ manufacturers of this town, as it will enable them to reply by the Holyhead mail us the same day.—(Biratieghast Paper.) On Saturday last a very melancholy and heart rending accident occurred in the near the Oven!, a few miles from this city. While the persons employed about the kiln, which is built in the quarry, were eutleavouring to rekindle it below. fur which purpose a quantity of sulphur, with other combustible matter, is used. two tine boys, one the son of Mr. MAGNIER, the owner, the other, the son of a poor woman of the neighbourhood, whom he employed as a servant, were induced, by curiosity, to look down from the top, which is on a level with the adjoiniug ground. Scarcely had they done so, •heti, overcome by the suffocating vapour which had begun to ascend, both tit the same moment fell in! A man at a short distance, who observed the appal iug circumstance, immediately gave notice of what had happened ; instant efforts were used to rescue them from their horrible fate, but before the bodies could be got at about fifteen minutes had elapsed, sad when taken out both were quite dead. It is of course some consolation to the agonised feelings of their tweets that the kip► was not at the time iu such a state as to consume the bodies ; said that though the face of oue was much scorched, which the other escaped by having fallen on hie companion, being in a state of insensibility, they did not suffer the excruciating pangs they otherwise would.— (Cork Southern Reporter.) We are indebted to the kind attentions of a cor respondent at Ross for the following communication: If those who have wheat, which has been injured by the late weedier, will attend to these directions, their bread will be wholesome, and comparatively very good. NVilell they are about to prepare the dough, let uhout ooe-third of the flour be kept unmixed till the dough begin to rise, then add a little of the flour, and when it shell rise again add a little more, and so on for four or five hours, till the whole of the flour shall have been used. In this manlier the moisture, which occas oils a glistening appearance its the dough, will be taken up, and the bread, as is already mentioned, will be infinitely better.— The breed which is at present in general use atnongst the poor is bad and unwholesome, in con arquetice of excess of moisture. sod also because the dough is put into the oven too soon after it is mode.—(Hereford ✓ournal.) DESTRUCTIVA FIRE. as Yesterday wonting, between six and seven o'clock,alarming fire broke oat in the extensive premise* of Mr. Grow Hope, turn-merchant, at the bottom of Old Gravel- lane, Wapping, situated on the verge of the River Thames, and surrounded by large warehouses and manufactories. It was rumoured as originating in the kiln .hicb was construct ed on the top of the splitting•mill, and from the light com bustible nature of the stock in trade, raged wills such fury as to •infisise terror into the spectators, and to threaten determined devastation to the surrousulisig seiglibuurbuoil. The utmost confusion for some time prevailed among the shipping in the river, they being cut from their moorings, and driven afloat to evade the devouring element, which momentarily threatened to extend its ravages the, elm The different streets sod avenues leading to the scene of con flagration were rendered almost unsafe for 'foot passengers, from the rourosion which prevailed among the vehicles which were engaged in removing to places of safety the properly of those who considered themselves within the reach of the fire. Messengers were dispatched in all direc. Lions fur ere engines, sad several of those contiguous were soon on the spot, but for • considerable time proved of little or no us,, from the renterkahle scarcity of water which prevailed. 'llse Illoattag engine having •t limed§ sailed within reach of the premises, was played thereon wills great ingenuity; but was iiisufficient to extinguish the flames thee raging with almost incredible fury, haring communicated to the gr • the whole of which almost instantaneously became owe general body of fire, an d as such continued to hors, braving all efforts used to check it, until about nine o'clock, when the roofs fell in with s tre mendous crash, burying under it the whole of the estensive stock RIO valuable machiuery, all of which were completely destroyed. The fire extended its ravages to the houses of Messrs. Uoyd and Lyons, in the rear, which were materially damaged. The engines hawing by this time gained a sufficient supply of water, were played with such skill as to arrest the further progress of the fire, and continued playing on the 'looking ruins until it was far advanced in the evening. The Iwo sustained by Mr. Hope is estimated at seversl thousand pounds; as besides the destruction of the pre upwards of bfieen hundred quarters `rain of various kinds were consumed. ROBBERY. Oa Wednesday evening, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, the premises of Mr. Hoot, a wateb.maker, in Welbeek-street, Coventlish-tquare, were broken into and robbed of three gold watches, two sliver banters, capped and jewelled, • hot rauntal one, &c. during Mr. Hunt's temporary absence.. The thieves, it appeared, gained au entrauce with a false key into the front parlour, and tuck from a drawer the above articles, with w►ich they got off without being discovered. At the - time a variety of watches of all descrip tions were in the parlour, which the rubbers had nut suffi cient time to carry sway as their booty. Informslion was given at the walchhouse and Mary-le-bone Police office of the circumstance, and the officers are usiug their utmost elections after the stolen property, and detection of the de predators. CAUTION TO THE RELIGIOUS PUBLIC. A few days ago a person between fifty and sixty years of age played off • swindling trick at Mansfield, under the pie tenet of being a preacher amongst the people called Banters. Upon calling at the houses of several of the brethren in that tovrn,proylng with them, and talking largely about his high birth and calling (being tbe•, he added, on his way in tinghant from Hull, as a delegate, with an important mis sion to the bretbeeii at Nottlagham), bat in his haute he had fo►got to take out some small notes from his portmanteau, which was to follow him by the next coach; ■nd having, be observed, but 0111 Hall note by hiss, and the bank being so distant,uu persu• would change it, the flieugis in Mans field readily relieved him in this instauce, by lending him several sums of money, as he paid bit Christian respects to them in their turns during the day, but baring, he added, " • great fund of pleasing information in communicate about the work of God, in gracious parts of the kingdom," be evinced a desire to preach to them in the evening, •ud as each an important messenger could not fail to attract a large congregatiou, this was readily acceded to; but lo! the ap pointed hour arrived, they waited, but he never made Lis appearance! and what adds to the villainy of the 'bilge nar rative, he wished, in the afternoon, to see the dispel he was to preach in, and of course be was readily introdured into it, walked into the pulpit, and on one of the friends just going to the door, be contrived to steal from the pulpit a new Wesleyan hymnbook. This swindler is a remarkable with a high forehead, bad set of teeth, a crooked nose, turn ing towards the left check. A PRMALE IMPOSTOR IN YORK. Au occurrence has taken plate in this city, which we think it our duty to lay before our renders as a caution to the public. List week, as one of the chaise-drivers of Mr. Furnish, of York, was returning home with an empty chaise, he overtook ou the Tadeasterrusil a decent looking female, lots iu stature, pale, but of a fair complexion, with black hair, between 40 and 30 years of age, awl dressed in a light blue gown. She seemed much fatigued with walking, and the maw very humanely asked her to ride. tier reply was, that having no moue), site could not reward him, there fore she declined the offer, but afterwards conseuteil to enter the chaise. %When the driver bad proceeded a mile or two with his new charge, herconveraation became incoherent, and she soon fainted. At Driagboures, he procured her some re treatment, which seemed to revive the suffering fair one. and they soon arrived in York. Under apparent circumstances, the drive• thought it right to place her under the care of a parish officer, with a request that lie would take care of her, and look sharp after her wbeuever she left She house. To this new guardian she speedily exhibited symptoms of tie. rangement, remarking that shortly she would be delivered from her sufferings. Soots after those reinaiks, she lett the house, anal Ise followed her. She went to a druggist's shop, near the bridge, and procured a certain drug which excited suspicion—it was taken from her; and she thcu went duarie the steps towards the King's Staili, where she was sreured, and taken to a pubhic.house. A Magistrate attended, but she refused to give any account of herself until the follow leg morning; when, after much pressing, she said that she was the daughter of an imkeeper at Edinburgh, and bait been married about two mouths ago, after which ceremony she proceeded to Loudon with her husband, who got • fortune with her of 1,5001. He, however, had suddenly lett her, and had taken with him all their property. Shr Own sold part of her clothes, and left Londou, not knowing where to direct her suer, as she dared not to return to her father. The worthy Aliteranau alluded to, being moved by this tale of woe, procured the young lady respectable lodgings in Skeldergate, whilst the pretended father was written to, and informed of the state of his daughter. Mts. (or Mrs.; how ever, in the mean time, thought it prudent to make the most of her friends in York, and accordingly look Preach lean of her lodgings, taking with ber a red shawl, and several other articles, the property of her host. In a few days a letter was received from the pretended father, stating that such a woman had before referred so him as her parent. bust that be was an impostor, and to him completely a stranger. At Cambridge Sersions, on the 20th ultimo, Tho mas Sell, George Cutts, John Blotts, jun. William Dotoera, John Shambrook, George Diller, j un. and Frederick Fortune, were indicted for a riot at Bas. *inborn, and for rescuing George Cutts from the constable. It arose from the Defendmts' jealousy at a party of Irishmen being, employed at Itarvisst work, and whom they endeavoured to drive away rather forcibly, which occasioned a number of per sons to assemble. The Jury, after retiring for am hour, found them all Going, when Sell, Cutts, Shambrook, and another, were sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, the others to six months each. THE LATE ItEP.
