Mir) helh proms, Mary Carr, and Sarah Walls, were charged In fore the Magistrate yesterday, with having com mitted divers frauds, by ohlaining sums of money from WA- I imis parishes, ■nder false pretences. It appears, that lately the rates of the different parishes, in Soria", have ruse to a very optional amount, anu the parish wfficers have endeavoured ill decrease the rates as much as possible, by declining to relieve unworthy objects antl improper claimants, and by examining into the cases of thos, who have received relief, they diaeoveied that a gang of pros ills were in the practice of going from one pat IA to soul her, t.lo:sittit.g relief at each parish 011 the same day under the false felon.. , tital that their families acre suit and required instant ;mem ))))) stud that they heed in the parish whene they applied fur relief.

They lived entirely by fraud and acts of rapacity. Mr. Brown, the officer of Lamlieth parish, made a similar statement Mr. Bieknesii, an overseer of another parkh, stated that he had paid the Prisone►a various Innis of money from the representations they had made, which he had discovered to be false. _ The Magistrate said that it was a most scandalous prat tire, and he shoolsi ree tttttt neod the parish officers to prose cute the Prisoners for the offences they had committed. They were ordered to find bail to answer the offence at the Sessions, and iu default thereof were committed. ROBBERIES. The shop of Mr. Solomon Davies, tobacconist, in the Borough, was entered a few nights ago by some robbers, who unperceived carried off a cask of snuff, value 24.1. On Sunday night last, during the absence o►' Mr. Purdey and his family from his boast, Grove-lane, Hersemunger lane, some thieves broke into his house, and stole a quan tity of valuable silver plate, linen, and other property.

The house of Mr. Marsh, Union-street, Boruugh•road. was broke open on Tuesday aigl,t, and a box was rifled of its contents, viz.—A Bank note kw 1001. five smaller moles. and ether valuable property. It is supposed that the rob bers were well acquainted with the premises and the habits of the family, every thing else remained untouched. On Tuesday morning, James Mender, in the employ of Messrs Mackenzie and Co. Providence-row, Finsbury-square, and whose wife is a laundress, residing in Reeves-place, Hinton, had been to collect linen from her different cos. tomers, and having occasion to go to his work, lie intrusted the linen to a porter who was in the habit of jobbing for his masters, to carry home to his wife in Reeves-place ; but instead of which the villain decamped with the property, amounting to 301. which belonged to different families. On Tuesday evening, as Mr. George Taylor, residing at rentonville, was passing along the Kingsland-road, near Newington-green, he was hustled by a gang of six thieves. Mr. T. being a very powerful man, he resisted; but the vil lains succeeded in taking from his fob a gold hunting-watch, chain, and seals, and his umbrella, with which they gut clear off. Thursday night, about half-pest six o'clock, Mr. Nathaniel Burgess, of the Hampstead-road, was accosted in the New. road by two fellows, who, with the most dreadful impreea lions, demanded Isis money. Mr. B. refaced to comply with their crimes', *Ton which they knocked I down, and robbed lima of his watch and some silver, with which they escmped. Ott %Wednesday night last a fellow went into the Star public-house, Dear East Smithfield, and took a seat in the perlour, next to a Mr. Nelson, whom he contrived to rub of his porket.book, containing notes to some amount, and after stripping it of its coo' Ms, placed it in Mr. Nelson's hat, which was lying us the seat. Mr. Nelson instantly dis covered the rubbery, and charged the Prisoner with having committed it, he being nearest to him, he denied it, but on searching hint the property was found on him, and he was taken to Aldgate watch-house; he had slot been there lung, when one of the officers missed twelve shillings and sixpeuce, and three being no per Con but the prix -r near him, or in the place at the time, he searched him, f I the money consented in his pocket.
