411 M Y. The Ilcad Quarters' division of the !4th (The King's) Regiment of Foot, which recently arrived from the Medi terranean, sailed on the :6th instant on board the Joseph Green transport, from Portsmouth to Plymouth. One Troop of the ‘2d Regiment of Life Guards marched to-day from Maidenhead to Egham. A division of the MI (The litik , ! of Albany's Own Highlanders) will embark at Plymouth, on board the Jo st ;•!i Green transport, fur Edinburgh Castle. Cue al: or I Noulay.--The proceedings in the long standing case, of Major John Tyler, Aide-de-Camp to the late General Sir Thomas Picton (which, we under stand, closed last work,) were an inquire whether any thing lawloccurred against Major John Tyler, half-pay of the 3341 Regiment of Foot, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman in reslain reamiarl mailers, on which seven charges had been framed for trial by Court inertial. They were first broached before the [Tinted Ser vice Club, St. James's, where they produced considerable sensation ; the decision was then in favour of Major Tyler, but the result of the Court of Inquiry has not yet trans pired. Its members were composed of Sir Charles Green, a:4 several General Offleers.—Evening Pope,. THE BABY-I:sr. !.I ~'~ The weather, during the whole of the past week, was ,••esetly inch as the farmers wished far to accelerate harvest home. The greatest activity has since prevailed, and a ipientity, of wheat has in consequence been cut, and o arra. din prime condition to the stack or barn. The fest that was expressed touching growing wheat has now is Th. , : wheat harvest in 'this neighlxmilloed (Dorsetshire) ucarly finished, and is as wad secured as we ever remem ber; the crops are good, and quality excellent. Some oats are also harvested in fine condition; the crop an average cue. The barley harvest is just com liwneing, with every prospect of a gootl crop and fire quality. In fact, taking elm mops of hey and corn altogether, we have been given o understand that it is the most abundant season that has Leen known for the last twenty years, and if we were to state a longer period we should not exaggerate.—Sherburne Aft rrnry. Very little wheat remains now uncut, and the satisfaction at the productiveress of the crops is universal. A more tacoursble time for reaping could not be; and the rains, which it was expected would here done much injury, have proved, with the exception of having caused the wheat, in a trifling degree, to grow in tl.e ear (which we arc ha mmed was the case round the neighbourhood of Warmin ster), of no detriment whatever; while to the barley and fiats it was peculiarly beneficial. Of these species of corn, the Cedes are generally abundant and thriving, and if the weather continue good until they are cut, and safely stowed, the husbandman will have every reason to be grateful to a bountiful Providence.—lioth Joursinl. During the lust week the weather in this county (Corns wall) has been most propitious for the labours of harvest * which have become general. Our correspondents free every part of the county represent the crops as abundant, and the grain as being, generally, of the very best quality. —West Briton. The labours of the harvest have been very generally be gun in this neighbourhood, amid promise to be rewarded most bounteously ; for never did crops of all sorts appear more prolific. There have been a few occasional showers rain during the week, but not of' a continuance to do any harm to the crops.—Leirester Chronicle. W ()IKE:STE:I, Aco. 2..—As far as can be judged from the appeanmee of our hop plantations, half a crop is as high tin estimate of their produce as can fairly be formed. Our market prices, however, continue nominal, purchasers holding off until a more accurate judgment can be come to se to the probable result of the present growth. The weather being most fropitious, the labours of the harvest field have continued since our last without inter mission ; another week of it, and very little corn will be fee•ul abroad in this neighbourheod.—Wurcesfer Herald. he barley and oat crops have been equally benefitted by the favourable change of the weather, which, if we may •udge from present al,pearanccs , promises to be of season able continuance. New wheat has been sold here at 161. per load.--la tees Paper, The beautiful weather with which we have been fa voured during this week has enabled the farmers, in the vale or the. ...one, to house an immense quantity of ..bent, in prime condition. We bare great ple asure to add, that the eldest farmers du not recollect more abundant crops of corn of every description. The poor are almost everywhere with welcome allowed to glean, and to partake of that plenty with villich it h a, pleased Heaven to bless the laud.—Canthriike Paler. We have now the mut beautiful harvest weather, and since the commencement of time present harvest moon, the elm has ripened fast. Reaping is general throughout the and the crops good.—Neweastle Chronicle. lime weather on Sunday last happily changed for the better, and has since continued highly favourable to the hebours of the field, which have proceeded with niueW activity. Shearing is now general in all this district.— ,Veteca.vtle Pap r. The most flattering accounts of the state of the harvest sty given from all quarters of the three kingdoms. They sll, with few exceptions, concur in stating that the crops era everywhere most promising, and will considerably ex ce.ll the average of former years. We observe that the li vening process is, generally, nearly as early this year iti :;etatland as in England or Ireland ; and if the present fa vourable weather continue for a short time, the whole crop will be got into the barn-yard in excellent order.—Edie grearA Star. Since the t2th inst. frequent and heavy showers have whieb have mended the pastures, and greatly pro mpted the growth of the turnip crops, without having ma terially retarded the operations of harvest. The cutting of all kinds of grain is in full pro giess over the whole district, and there is a fair prospect of the crop being housed under the most favourable circumstances. With regard to the ,duality of the different kinds of graiu, the oats in dry si tuatione are certainly light ; and wheat on light soils will be deficient both in quantity and quality, but barley is al most everywhere a good and full crop.—Kelso 'I here was never known so few young birds in this retnity as there are the present season. Upon farms of three hundred acres, not a covey has been seen ; and so great is the deficiency ever. of old birds, in proportion to the number left last year, that many of them arc supposed t t have been destroyed upon the nest by the atone ; but "',is suggestion is not confirmed by the discovery of the r •,.rain• of those that are supposed to have perished.— l'iNesouth Adrettirer. ROAD IMMOVEMILN rs IN ITAMP3IIIRE AND SLISEX. Mr. Hoper has commenced a great improvement, by cut ting a road through his property adjoining Stonar Hill, near Pctersficld, which will be the means of avoiding that hitherto dangerous and almost impassable hill. By this and the new turnpike road from Alidlturst to Pe terstield, the public at large arc likely very soon to be se , Immodated with a safe and easy, as well as nearer, corn rounitation between ‘Vindsor, Brighton, and Portsmouth, :mil also IVinebester, Oxford, and Cheltenham, and all parts of the West of England. A new bridge is building across the River Taw, by the Hun. N. kenos/es, at Kegesfori, under the direction of Mr. Green. Among the evidence of the superintendence of the Irish Government over the practices of its minor functionaries, and the general administration of justice, is the case of Chief Constable Browne, who has been removed from the, county of Wexford, the scene of his misconduct, en a memorial of the inhabitants to Ins Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant.

MANSION-HOI I SL THE !ATI Fiat ix Ti ClTl.—Killtleraey, the beadle of arish of Altigate, stated to the Lord Mayor that the want of ter,wa upon the occasion of the late fire in the city, caused two houses to be totally burnt down, and that for some time the greatest retro were entertained for the workhouse, which was in the imme diate neighbourhood. The inhaLitants were now all crying but against the Water Companies, whose gross and fatal neglect WAS daily producing incalculable mischief. Mad nut there been a large pool of water in the premises ut the workhouse, that building could not have been saved. That water was the only water that could be had for a great length of time. In feet none was procured with that exception until the houses were completely destroyed. The Loup MAYOR said it was surprising, after the innumer able accidents which had taken place from tire nnd the frequent ex posure of the neglect, or the worse than negleL4, of the Water Cum. ponies, that the lives and properties of the public were still so much disregarded by those who enneracted for the supply. Iledid not kr.ow what emtrve to pursue for the correction of such an evil, which, he regretted to say, exposure did not seem at all calculated to remedy. put perhaps the fear of competition might effect that which humanity could not Accomplish. Indeed the want of water had excited, at tette period of universal speculation, a spirit which was likely to interfere with the Water Companies, who, having obtained their different contracts, were quite at ease as to the man ner and extent of the supply. Ile bail the other day been requested to sanction new Company proposed to be formed tn: the expriss purpose of supplying an immense quantity of water in the event of lire, and those who made the proposition would wimps meet with encouragement which would be likely to do great injury to the large establishment now ea negligent. Ili, Lordship having weer. twined that the New River Company were the contractors to supply the City of Loudon with water, observed, that there was very serious ground for thinking that a competition adviunageotui to the public would take place. Tv lat . -STREET. Yesterday morning a little fellow, who gave his name Calloway. was taken up in T ot t en h a m-court-road, with a small hone and cart, containing lead, under suspicious cir cumstances. On being questioned by the 'Nlagistrate,heauawered that he had eurehased the lead for 17a. mid intended to sell it for las. 3d. observing that hw thought that a reasonable and fair profit. Sir R. lilt ANlE—l'erhaps so; but from whom did you purchase the lead ? • Prisoner—T purchased it from several persons, but it is imp*. Bible for me now to say who they are. Sir R. Iti u E—Therc appears to be three hundred !freight ot lead there. aid you cannot, or rather woe/. WI from w.unn yes got it. Name one person—front whom did you buy that large piece on the top Prisoner—l really can't any, there are so many pieces. Sir It. Masi az—H'eli, then, you must go to gaol, sad the lead must be advertised. Prisoner—That w.ll rum toy character: it will be almost the ruin of me. Sir R. Max:ft-1f you embark in ruinous speculations, you must expect ruinous eutiaequerices it is the Ruud to ituta.—(A lano.) rrikoner—lf I go to gaol, what will become of my hone? Sir R. a xitt —The horse ha; done nu offence, therefure you may send him home. Prisoner—But there is no person hoses to keep him. Sir R. Br R r: i E—Anal do y OA lire all alone ? Prisoner—Ye.. I will give you bail for my appearance la may, amount. Sir R. Bra x E—Well, then, let bail be given—two good WSW. holders. Prisoaer—Won't you take my own bail ? Sir N. 131 Rai lE—Certainly nut. The prisoner and lead were then lodged in safe custody. A TTON -GA R DEN. To t t-GaTE.—Yeaterslay, Williams, Esq. attended to answer the summons of T. h eaves,f toll-collector at the Bell-gate, Battle-bridge, for the non-payment of one penny toll. Heaves stated, that 31r. 11 illiama, last 14eitneaday week, passed through the toll-gate without paying, and on his demanding the toll or his ticket, he put apnea to his horse. He. however, with difficulty, ma ht the prisile and stopped him, for which he re. ceived a deal of abuse, and was called a d—d impudent fellow. The gentleman then refused raying, but gave him his card and rode off. Mr. Williams, in defence said, that he hail paid the toll early in the morning, and had not received a ticket, as it was never his custom to take one. The collector knew it, and he informed him as he passed through that he hxd done so; but Heaves lass. lenity stopped his horse, which was very high.apitited, and placed him in a daagerous situation. lie admitted that he might hays, used the expression imputed to hint. The MAW/TRATE said, it was a custom to permit persons ter' pass through a gate without giving or receiving a ticket, but it subjected every collector to a penalty. After a deal of discussion on both sides, The M %GIST HATE informed the gentleman he must pay it, as he had no ticket to prove his havirg before passed. Ile had been placed in the same situation himself, anti would advise the gentle. man to adopt the same measures he did to avoid it, and take the ticket. After paying the expenses (tn. Pal.) the gentleman left the office. Yesterday Dlr. Bull, a respectable tradesman residing at Chel. sea, and who also holds a situation in the twopenny post-office, sp. peered before the Sitting Magiatrate. Str R. Bt RNI E, and asked if any redress or assistance could be afforded him under the following distressing circumstances : Mr. Bull stated, that he hail a son, a fine lad, who, in a few days, would have been eight years out, and on Sunday, after din ner, the boy. requested leave to go into the Park, to see the boys belongin to the l)uke of York's military school parade or walk there. l ie refused at brat, but afterwards a servant of Ilia (Mr. Bull's), a young man, twenty years of age, appealed to him, and promised to go with and take care of the boy, and he then consented that he should go. The servant, however, instead of taking his son to the Park, went directly south, over Battersea Bridge, to the ticlds, and after remaining there for some time, gut to the river side, where he and applicant's son, with ten or twelve others, got into a wherry. They had not been many minutes in the boat, when a six-oared cutter approached at full speed, and although called to by preemie who saw that an accident was unavoidable if the curter did not alter her steerage, the coxswain kept his course, and, as was anticipated, came plump against the wherry, capsized her, and threw the whole of the juvenile crew into the water. Prompt assistance was rendered by several who witnessed the occurrence, and the majority were saved ; but applicant's sun, and a lad about fifteen years et age, were drowned. [At ibis part of the unfortunate father's narrative, his feelings overpowered hint—he leaned against the table, and the tars strea - ned from his eyes.l The moment liter wherry was upset, the cutter's crew were leudly hailed to assist in securing the poor boys ; but the inhuman fel. lows ell board her paid no inure attention to this, than they had done to the lint call, but rowed away with all their strength. Sir R. Busily,—Are the bodies yet found? AI r. Bull—No, Sir ; they have been diligently searched fur, but as yet without success. Sir R. Max lE—lt is a most Immutable business, and I pity you, Mr. Bull, with all my heart and soul ; but I tsar I can afford sou no redress. .I . he case is altogether out of my jurisdiction, un las you knew the fellows in the cutter, and then, perhaps, I might oks somethiug. it is, you must await the finding of the bodtes, and produce whatever evidence :au may be able to collect before the Corona's Inquest. Bull--Does the law provide no punishment for the eee. duct of my ecoundtel of as. rant, Sir Richard ? Sir R. Br es sz—No, indeed. Ale Bull—Putishing him or the cutter's crew, I ant aware would not restore my poor child to me, but it might deter others from similar conduct, and save the feelings of other patents from such es dreadful dunk asinine experienced yesterday. The Worthy 31 AGIST RA rE repeated that he could give him no assistance at present; hut he, in a low tone, advised Mr. Bull ea to the course he had better adopt with a view to the funberance of justice. Maoist v.—Yesterday James StntA; Jain Gordon, and James Elton, three middk aged men, eapectably attired were brought up from Spy-belts watch-house, charged with attempting to commit a burglary, on Sunday morning last, about one o'clock. Waddington of the Bow-street patrol, deposed, that about the hour rained, as lie was proceeding with his party up Coppice-row, towards Ilagnigge Welts, he observed the prisoner Elton loitering about the house of Mr. ('antis, proprietot or a ham and beef shop, at the corder of Exmouth-street. The notoriety of Elton's character made hint auspeet that sonic robbery was projected, and he accord :3l4y gave the hint to his comrades, who dispersed, melt taking a convenient station to watch further movements. In a very few minutes the other prisoners familiarly joined Elton, and were then observed to try the door of Air. Caton's shop with pick locks. Through the excessive zeal of some of the officers, the parties were prematurely disturbed before they had affected an entrance. There was found shit them a bag, containing a variety of picklocks, and not far from the spot a crow-bar, which was sup posed to be dropped by a fourth person, who escaped from the officers. On the Magistrate's inquiring of the different officers if they bad any ktiosledge of the prisoners, Waddington and Browne, of the Bow-street patrol, and Wainright, of this office, identified them as regular map:vane. " blagsmen !" exclaimed the Magistrate, " What does that term mean ?" Of which Wainrlght gave the following definition r—Persons • who frequent the neighbourhood of Smithfield on market dales, awl gammon, by their gesitlenianleappearance, the rkets to heel it as honour to drink in their society, make bargains, odd beta, Az. The prisoners severally gave rather singular accounts of their ways of living. Alf. Smith, by his own shewing, was a respectable set:denten* at Buxton; Air. Gordon a elothesman, in IVliitechapel ; and Mr. Elton late coachman to Sir Henry Pannell, but at presets only a horse dealer at Simmers Town. Their respectability, hiiwever, did not avail them, as there was a communication from the City Marshal, that they were well. known characters, anti as they are strongly suspected to be con cerned in some late burglaries, they were, on this account, re. wended for a week. IIARLDOROtTOII.STREIT. A for days ago. the 1r... Capt. Greetlle, accompanied by some friends, applied to Mr. Roc, the Magistratejor his advice and as sistance in recovering a hunt, which he had been deprived of under the following circumstances : Capt. (heellle said, dirt having a valuable horse to dispose of, he sent it for that purpose to the florae Ilsrara. in Portman-street, where It stood fur some days on sale, and various oilers wire made to purchase It ; but none came up to the exact price. below which he determined not to sell it, namely, flu guineas. A person of the name of elementson, vitio had previously offered for the horse, but was refused, calla at rapt. (ireville's house, and said, illhatai he had taken *fancy to the home, he would.** tho SO gut wetswithout further trouble, and representing bandit as • ILchda twan of fortune, drew a check fur the amount upon Coatts's Bank, [which he gave Capt. Beeville, and the horse was delivered to hint, soon after which, Capt. ;seine perceived for the first thee, that the check waedatedforward some days, and consequent', there wain* j 'nse in presenting it for payment until the day of its date arrived,' but Capt. lireville sent it to slessrs. Coutts's to a scertain the probs. Witty of its being ultimately honoured. As the Captain himself' keeps his account at Coutts's, they 410 not hesitate to tell him that he had been ••• done out of his horse." The next day a letter was received by . Capt. Beeville from Olementson, etating, that them was some nustake with reepect to the check he lied drawn, and en. closing his own note for the nmoont, requesting at the same time that the check might be retuned. Capt. Gres Me, unthinkingly. returned the check and Lem the note, which he has since learnt VMS not worth a farthing, more than the check. lie had taken every pains to trace out Clernentson or his horse, and at length die covered that it stood at some livery sables in Barlow Mews. and there 1w learned that the horse beton to Mr. Edwards, jun. of N 0.42, Contluit.street. lie called Mr. Edwards, who ac knowledge,' that the hone belonged to that he had purchased It, but would give no further satisfaction. . Beeville suspect. ing that the hone might be removed from w Mews before he could adopt any measures to recover it, placed a titan to watch g and in a few ntinutes after, the man, who knew the horse, had taken' his station, lie saw a lad ride the bone out, whom he followed over Waterloo Bridge, and there coining up with him, insisted se taking the horse, as it was the property of his master, Capella Beeville. Just at this moment, up rode Mr. Edwards, who claimed the horse as his, and Capt. Greenlee servant relinquished him. l'pott these ground*. Capt. Beeville asked if he could have a warrant er 3 summons against Clemereson and Edwards, forme suspected they were in collusion, as he understood they were well acquainted. Ole Rot said, that lie feared Captain Beeville had put it out of a Magistrate's power to assist hint, having parted with the check and taken a note or bill of exchange in lieu of it. Ile could not therefore, issue any warrant, but he would grant a summons for both Edwards and Clentention to attend ; and if no other good resulted, the circumstances would most likely become public, and be of benefit to others. Captain Breville said, with this view alone he should be glad to have the summons. Accordingly summonses were directed to be served by the proper officer, upon the parties; but Clementson was not to be found, and like the Dean and Chapter of Dublin, was reported to have " es. raped from the face of the earth, and nowhere to he found." The summons was, however, served on Edwards, and on the cloy ap pointed for his appearance, a friend of his attended, and assured the Magistrate that Air. Edwards would have come forward, but' he was obliged to go into the country on urgent business, but if the Alagistrate would name any other day, he would certainly attend. Mr. 'R oe accordingly appointed Monday, and expressed a hope that Mr. Edwards would not give him occasion to pursue any other measures for disobeying his summon.. Monday arrived, and Captain tireville and his friends having attended, announced to Mr. 'toe that he should be saved nil rut Cher trouble, as the whole of his money had been paid to him (by whom did rot appear) since he was last at the office. salutary ellect of the dread of publication sometimes causes jratice to he done in eases which the law cannot ex ac:ly reach. QUI. EN. MICA R E. Tux Van it•er ACT.--Yeitertiny a gentleman named Brett, of Ratielsgli House, on the batiks of the 1 banes, applied to the Slagistrate fur a warrant, to apprehend a person under the above Act. Mr. Brett stated, that a great number of persons assemble every morning, near his house, to bathe in the river, and on their coming out they run about his grounds in a state of nudity, without regard to any females who might be in sight; the nuisance is rendered greater by the horrid expreasioes which they utter, and which are plainly heard in his drawing-room. Mrs Brett and two of the see. vents, while walking is the garden on :Sunday, were gross) y an noyed by the persons so conducting themselves. ale Brett added, that he bad the address of one of the peewits, and wished for a warrant against him, in order to deter others from similar praetiees. The Magistrates, on refereow to the new Vagrant Act, said, they were aware that the nuisance was very great, but they could afford hint no redress, as it did rot appear that these persons exposed themselves for the purpose of insulting females, but they recom mended Mr. Brett to indict any une person at the Sessions for a nuisance. 31r. Brett said, the trouble and expense of such a proceeding would be very great. Mr. 3i emcee): tr.—Then, when yon sec them bathing, throw their clothes into the water, and that will prevent their coming again. A COE NTRYSIAN'S VISIT TO LORDOW.—A young man, who described himself as a bricklayer from Bury 4t. Edmund's, presented himself before the Magistrates, and related the following tale of en adventure which lie had on :iaturday night, on his en trance into the metropolis :—lle had walked all the way from Bury St. Edmund's, having under his ann a bundle containing a new suit of clothes worth 111. and a new hat. He arrived in Westmin ster on Saturday night übout ten o'clock, and being very much fatigued, he asked a man to direct him where to get a lodging. A woman close by heard him, and said she would take him to a lodg. big. They proceeded together to a house (which he has since learnt to be) In thick-lane. On her opening the door, he was struck with the wretch;,' appearance of the place, and refused to go in ; at that Instant a fellow came up and struck him with an instrument appa rently loneed at both ends. ile instantly fell, and at the same mo ment the woman seine' his bundle, and the pair made off. When be recovered himself, he went to a watchman, to whom he tieserib•d the woman, but he had not bee, able to find her. Ile added, he should not Ise able to identifydhe man who struck hint. Mr. tinecoftte ordered Ceoper, in active officer, to endeavour to find the woman. LASI BET II -ST EE T. Yesterday William Wild, a lad hardly thirteen years of age, was put to the bar, charged with felony by his father. The prisoner's fad= appeared bathed in tears, and being sworn, deposed that he was a pipe•macufacturer, residing at 11, Feather stone-street, City-road. , IFenhe said, has been incorrigible ransom, trout his infancy, • gh he used every means that could Mdevised to reclaim ut always to no effect, for he robbed him of everything valuable he could come at, which property he easily disposed of, by the aid of a notorious gang with 'whom he unfortunately got connected. It wa's only. few day! ago that he was discharged from the House of Correction, he having had him eonnuitted there fur a mouth from this office, resolving for the fu ture to shut his doors against him. Ilia uncle, however, by a good deal of persuasion, prevailed upon him to tak e him under his roof again, lie promising faithfully never more to transgress. After coining home he appeared quite penitent and reformed, and con. ducted himself with the greatest decorum up to yesterday morning, when he contrived to possess himself of fourteen sovereigns, which his mother had for safety under her pillow, and made Isis exit. The i l money being soon missed, and witness being acquainted with one of his haunts, he went in pursuit of him, and found himself and a sailor boy carousing in a low public-house. Ile instantly searched him, and luckily found iu Ins possession thirteen eovereigns and 112 s. fid. in silver, 3s. lid. of the remainder he said he paid for the handkerchief he wore about his neck, but the remaining balance he would give no account of. The prisoner appeared to pay very little attention to his father's 'evidence, and in defence said, diet Nowa* induced to commit the robbery by the boy in whose company he was found when sppre. 'tended, who told him if he could rob his (ether of as much mu ney as he could get at, that hue would get him into the Marine School. The MAGISTRATE observed, that under all the' ircumstances, the only way of reclaiming the prisoner was, to send him for trial, when in all probability he would be transported. The father was then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was committed fur trial. UNION H A LL. Yesterday information was ininiieditthis office of an extensive burglary and robbery, having been committed to the eountry-house of Thomas Brandram, Esq. at Lee, in Kent, on the 28th instant, in the absence of that gentleman, who was staying at his town resi dence. The robbers, it appeared, bad entered the premises hy climbing over a high wall at the rear of the house, and proceeded across the hack-yanl, bored a hole with a centre-bit in the panel of the door sufficiently large to Ault three fingers of • man's hand, which was introduced on the occasion, for die purpose of pulling back the inside bolt ; this was the only fastening to the door. After having gained semis to the interior, they ascended a flight of stairs, and passed through three-different rooms on the first floor, LAE; they came to that from which the property was stolen. lull& room it appears. there was a desk, which contained the under. mentioned property :—A tortnike.shell snuff-box, with a Rom= Mosiac landscape, and a lemma narrow chased gold border, in a., Morocca case; a gold snuff-bag, chased, fluted on both sidt. and, and mounted on the top wild a depots awns , set as a tnedalliegeg, also, in a red Morocco cow two. seent-boxes, Roman composite., ' Mosaic • the one a little 'fog. the other tr..° Cupids, en the Up I a I musical bog, a gold seal, with Arabie characters on it ; about SW. in Bank of England notes, besides some other articles. This desk was cormaetely rifled of its contents, and although it was fastened with one of Bronah's patent locks, yet the lock, on inspection, well found not to have received the slightest injury in the opening.... From this, aid other circumstances connected with the robbery, Mr. Erandram, who attended at the office, requested that a we ' rant might be issued for the apprehension of an individuut, against whom he had very strung suspicions. These suspicions were also strengthened by Clarke, the officer, who had minutely examined the premben, and who concurred in the opinion that the rob. btey must hsce been committal by some person or person* well treptairted with the internal regulations of the house. The butler's pantry, close to which the intlividtiel slept, although open, and ear wining all the family plate, type:lntl not to have been approached by the robbers. Two men, named Ififiling and irokdittg, belong ing to a very desperate gang of hossebreakers, who infest IVO - worth and the aurruunding neighbourhood, Vert brought before R.J. Cantatas, Esq. charged on suspicion with breaking' open the house of Mr. Crousha, a grocer, in East-lane, Walwonh. Mr. Crousha stated, that he went to bed on Sunday night soon after after havitm secured the locks and bolts of his premises ; however, upon runng the next morning, and going down stain into his slap, he saw it was in a state of complete disorder; t h e tea-eannistere having been pulled down from their plates, lay on the flour of the shop, entirely emptied of their contents. Seve ral losses of sugar, which had been exhibited in the shop windows, were also gone, together with two " dummies," i.e. mock auger loaves. Ott fa rther examination, he discovered that the desk had been broken open, which at the time, he mid, form:tattle only conteined three pares of reticence halfpence, made up in brown palier, and tied with cord. It was subsequently ascertained that the burglars entered the house by the first floor window, to which they sseensled by memo of a ladder front 8 building close by, snow, the constable of Sewington, stated, that from the rime rout robbvtiel and other depredations committed by an orgAnized gang of thieves in the nrighboarbood, he rote at drive co s etock on Sunday morning, and went in search of suspicious sharaetets. In crossing a street a short distance from Mr. Crousha's house, he per ceived Wildman, whom lie well knew as a very desperate fellow, with his hat pulled over his i'uce. He went up to him, and asked the cause of his being out so early. Wildman replied, " Oh, Mr. Snow, ! have on:/ been ' a Joshing,' at the Halfway-house, in the • Rent-road, and lam now going home." But, said snow, what is it that you have in your pocket that bulges so much l•—1 , '••• only the money I got the night before fur a puppy that I sold at ltermond sey. Snow searched his pockets, and pulled out ss. worth of penny and halfpenny pieces (now produced), and took the prisoner to the watch-house. Subsequently witness heard that a rel,licry had been committed in the house of Air. Crousliu, who had been robbed of a quantity of money tied up in a paper. Snow ambled, that he ap prehended the other prisoner in consequence of his having been seen in 'Wildnum's company a short time previous to the robbery. Mr. Crousha, on extunintng tbe paper of half.pence, identlEed it an a part of the property that Wei been stolen from his shop. Two other fellows, named Russel and Purdy, belonging to the Mine gang, were apprehended in the act of reconnoitring a widow lady's house at Peckham, the same night. l'he four prisoners were remanded, m order to have tht attend ance of other individuals who have been robbed.

W.—Worcester Ileraid. The conquering game at cricket was played on Teaterday sea night at High Wycombe, between the V. yeambe Club and that of II ands°, and Eton, in which the 'Wycombe Club beat their oppo nents in a masterly style, in one innings, with `3 notches to spare. There was much betting at commencing, 7 to 4 on Windsor and Eton, but the Wycombe Gentlemen soon brought it 7 to 4in their favour. Skipper, the noted pedestrian, is now performing the very 'edit ens Lusk of GO miles a day, which be has engaged to keep up for twenty-one days, Sundays excepted, on • measured piece of ground, a qmater of • mile in sagest, in • field behind Vahat Thomas's Church, near this city. He commenced on Tuesday morning se•nnight, and has hitherto finished each day's work with apparent ease. His pace is very steady, regularly completing his quarter mile piece of ground in three minutes, and five miles within the hour. On Monday and Tuesday, the weather being very tint, he was visited by a gre at number of persons, and we trust his sub - ' scripton box, which 111 at the entrance of the field, wee the heavier foe ire Fs echolder. BOXING. Sitturow pan LAWOAN.--The following explanation has been given, respecting this %notch, by a contemporary We can account satisfactorily for the absence of Langan ; and convince the amateurs that it was far from the intention of the Irish hero that the match should be qt. Langan, at present, is at Manchester, sparring with Peter Crawley ; and on Tuesday last a letter was re ceived in London, but in consequence of Pierce Egan being out of town, it was not opened till hie return on Friday morning. The following is a part of the contents respecting his match with Shelton : • Mr. Creswell, the friend of Tom Spring has sent 801. term, to put down on the %di August for me. Ile has likewise MX of my own ; and I would be obliged to you to call on Mr. Spring for me, and tell him to put it down, and see that the articles are proper; which I would take the liberty of asking you to see done, but I am afraid your business is too great to chow you time. Please to remember me to Thomas Spring, and tell him I won't disgrace' , him in my next shy with Sheltou. Yours. &c. • JOHN LANGAN' " Spring is in Scotland with Cribb, which also accounts for his not being at Belcher's to nicks the match. We have no doubt, on Langan's learning the result, but he will empower sonic person to make the match for him with Shelton lame diately, being well assured he is anxious to enter the ring with Shelton." Langan has been challenged by a man named loscow for IN soy'. a-side. lloscow is the man who fought a battle on Tues day last, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool ; he is 613 stone man, and about b feet 11 inches. Barney Aaron. as a reward for his bravery, last week received the fair hand of Miss Lee. The happy pair were united in due form at Howard's Coffee House. Arthur Mathewson also led to the hymeneal altar Miss !Legatee. It will be recollected that both these trumps fought, not only fur money, but for love ; both have received their prize. The friends of 3letcalf have offered to back him against Halton, for finOt. a-side, to run either one or two miles. Should Halton accept the challenge, the race will be.run over Doncaster course in the race week. From what we have learnt there is every probability ' of this being unlatch. Two pugilists, (Molding (called the Bristol Youth), and O'Neill, n' Langas head buffer at his last fight with Spring, near Chichester, have been residing in Winchester, exhibiting their science in the . Retie art. Very early on Wednesday morning they abruptly de. camped frem the Waterloo Inn, which they had parroaired during , their sojourn, omitting to " do the needful ; " ' but this was we the only " blot in their escutcheon."—Shade of Dan Dotindkveseter it r.ctt !—lt appears that Mr. O'Neill had shewn such a firm at tachment to another man's sovereign that a constable was despatched to " comprehend the va,..Trom man." Both went overtaken at Pop ham-lane. and brought hack to this city. On Thursday O'Neill was examined before the Mayor, on a charge of robbing an Irish labourer, named Michael Audrewa, of a sovereign, and committed to durance vile, to take his trial at the next City Sessions ; thus leaving the disconsolate " Youth" to ponder on his friend's mishap, and Mike to mount the flight of his " canary."--Thoopshire Chroxiele.
