On Monday night last a young gentleman who, we under stand, is related to the noble family of Lord A. made a most extraordinary attempt upon his existetice, while confined in St. James's watch-house, on a charge of forgery preferred by Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, Army Agents. The young gentleman, who does not exceed 24 years of ace, • shoot time ago called at Messrs. Cua and Green wood's, owl there offered a bill of exchange to the amount of 6 11. purporting in hr their acceptance. He left the of fice, mid afterwards the-toll proved to be a forged one. In formation was immediately given of the circumstance to the necessary persons to apprehend the tenderer; and on Monday night last intelligroce bring received that be was at the White Bear Coffee.house, Piccadilly, • constable re paired thither, and took him in custody to Marlborough- Street oilier, where hr underwent an examination, brit was remanded for the attendance of the clerk to whom it was offered, mid other necessary persons. Ott searching the Primner papers were found on him signed with the name of Woodward and others, which creatrJ an idea that the Irish hank had suffered from a similar mode of imposition. The Prisoner was ordered to he taken care of, and the circumstance was made known to Lord A. H--n, and information forwarded to Ireland, from which place letters are daily expected concerning the circenistance. He was taken back to the watch-house, but at the desire of his Lordship, aisd from the Prisoner's great respectability, a separate apartment was cosistittited for his tow during his cwislimment, and prior to his heing conducted there every necessary search was made to prevent self-destruction.

Lordship, and the Magistrates at Marlhorongh-street Police 0111cr, mid he was cons/eyed to St. James's work-house, where he now lies in a dangerous coudition, under the care of Mr. Ruse, the surgeon. He very seldom speaks to any one concerning the affair, and has tint assigned any cause for the rash attempt, but it is thought that the disgrace attached to a circouistance of the KI/41110. ihscription to his family led him to it. Blood is continually flowing from the wound, which while it coo tomes renders his situation very dangerous, but as won as it will allow lie will be Mooed op to Marlborough-street fur exasiiiiiatiou.

Gr4ftAs. a girl •bowl 16 years of age, was charged yesterday with sttaling a quantity of goods of con siderable •alue. Anne Barry, wife of George Frederick Barry, tailor, Cloth fair, stated, that the Prisoner and her father lodged on the second floor in ho r house. Since they became her lodgers, she had lost goods to a considerable amount. On Wednesday she missed eight voila of glazed linen, which were cot off a piece of 11 yards. This circumstance confirmed her suspicions that the Prisoner was the thief; sbe charged her with it; she first denied it, but afterwards acknowledged it, and said she sold it to Mr. Rich, who also lives iu Cloth-fair, fur 6s. and that she had also sold him a great quantity of goods belonging to witness's husband, consisting °Croatians, wool len cords, &c. The witness weut with the father of the Pri soner to Mr. Rich, sod told him what the Prisoner bad acknowledged: he first denied all knowledge of the articles, but afterwards allowed her to select part of her property front amongst his goods. An officer had them in his pus session. She had beers in the habit, when she weal out on business, of leaving her shop in the care of the Prisoner, lint never authorised her to sill piece-goods. A friend called son the witness uso Wednesday eveoing, and advised her to give the Prisoner lulu the custody of an officer, which she accord lowly slid. She iinderslood that Mr. Kids defended his con duct by saying that he purchased the articles from the Pri soner, as he understood she wan authorised In sell them by the witness.

John !reined, an agent and accoontent, said, that he call ed on Mrs. Barry on Wednesday evening, by the directions of Mr. Barry, her husband, who is • prisoner in White-cross street Prison she informed him of her toeing robbed, and be advised her to home the Prisoner taken lido custody.

Alit bad received 11 and 19s. at a time from Mr. Rich, for goods; she always gave the money to Mrs Barry, except sometimes she kept one or two sholloogoo fur herself. Stephen Griffiths, the father of the Prisoner, stated, that Mir. Barry called him down on %Vediimilay evening, and told him what she said big domelike had confessed. He said it was impossiide; he went and charged the Prisoner with it; she said she would confess all, but she dare not then went to the shop of Mr. Rich, who told him that he bought the goods from the Prisoner, knowing that they were Mrs. Barry's, and he thought he was doing her a or ' vice, as her husbaud was in prison. He then went and brought the Prisoner to Mr. Rich's shop, and she told him that, duelist his absence, Mrs. Barry went up stairs to her, and threatened to do her some bodily harm, if she ackuow ledged that she had sold the goods by her directions. It was mysterious ' that when Mr. Barry went to prison, the goods In the shop consisted of large pieces, and they had now dwindled away to small rolls. He had only one obser vation more to make, that a short tune back he found out that Mrs. Barry was in the habit of *radium the Prisoner to pawatirokers to pledge goods. On its coming to his knowledge, he tried to put a stop to it, by chastising his daughter.

The revenue barge, on Nearing the vessel, found a few boats, as it were, render ing her all the assistance in the world—some dragging her one way, and some another; but those that could be of no service were immediately sent adrift, and the barge, assisted by a boat, in which was Mr. Borough, of succeeded in lowing her past the rucks and within three miles of Kibosh, when the tide of ebb made against them, and she sunk is despite of all their exertions entirely tinder water, with only part of her sows to he seen.

The been's(' count stated, that the De fest rhert told the father of the said Mary Moreliv, that Plointiti committed, OF ;attempted to commit a rake on Isis daughter, Hod that lie ought to Like her from the Plaisitstre school. There w.f.. two further counts, nearly of the s.sme import of the second. The damages were laid at loom/. and the Defendant's plea was the general issue, Mr. TOWNSEND stated the Plaisitill 'is case, the facts of which were shortly these:—Tbe Nlortiliosisess of Thomonif some years since established a scl I, at her Ladyship's own expense, fill part of the 'Marquis's estate, of Itssettllon, w this coon V, for the education and instruction of the ctstidrs n of the neighbourhood, of both sexes, arid of which school the Plaintiff and his wife were apponsted master and mistress. The Defendant wa+ a Lieu tenant in the Navy, on halt:pay, who had ssio. e retiring from his eiaval duties 'mhos ked its trade, and become a coriosmereloost its the lielghloogsr hood of Rostrllati. The Marsialr of Thossiosid was entitled to toll or qnsiyege upon all vessels that came to lord or unina.l at the quays of Rostellim, which toll had hem let to the Maio till: In the month of October lust, a sloop with a large cargo of slate for - the Defendant came to the quay, for the toll poyatile on which the Ploies tar applied to the Defendar.t, but was desired to go about his baroness. lie then applied to the owner.. of the vessel, but lie was by them referred to the Defendant as the owner of the cargo, sold finding that it would' be quite useless to make any loniser applicatio n to the Defendant on the aohjeet the Plaintiff determined to &strain, slid accordingly hr proceeded on board the vessel and do-re seized two oars, which lie brought with him on the quay.

Some angry words then passed lie tweet' Plaintiff and Defesolant, and during the argument or contest the Defendant used the lan guage towards the Plaintiff complained of to the declaration. Mr. Townsend, with great effect, here commented on the iisjitry that such as•ersions were likely to do a mast ;is she situatinti of the Plaintiff.
