I! fim 4. 10 ii I t referred a complaint at the police office, which gave offtnce to his reamer. He was at work in a little room, when his master stuck him with a stick over the head and shoulders : his arms Vele bl *clic and blue, and a bump was mised on his head the size of a walnut ; witness went to llow•street to make a complaint, where his master sent a person to speak fur him, and did not at. ten d • that nelson. • journeyman, said his master would make it nut they could nut agree on the terms ; his master wanted 201. th cancel the indentures. Aim Wjer, the grandmother or the last witness, paid, the pro secutor came to her and stripped himself to show his bruises ; his shoulders were bruised and swelled, and a large lump was on his head. Mr. PIT NTIERGAIIT said. it was unfortunate fee the defendant he had no witness to call ; his 'limier we, anzinus not to lose the 6.1 Idle years of the lad's apprenticeship, or he would have agreed to cancel the indentures. It the Chairman would postpone the judgment of the Court till Siturslay,rin arrangement might be come to. atter the defendant had etmsulted with hisattorney. The wine of the prosecutor said, he had no vindictive feeling towards Mr. Dimond ; he only wanted to remove his son front his service. if Mr. D. would cancel the indenture. Mr. Comer agreed to the postponement, but 31t. Dimond mid lie would not give up the lad. The defendant was fined 20/. Later in the day, Mr. Dimond offered to cancel the indenture, to save tie fine ; but the Chairman told him that, after positively re. fusing an adjustment, he should not now alter the sentence. Edward Burrow was indicted with two others not in custody, toe an assault on James Williams, on the 13th of June last year. The defendant was schoolmaster of Cripplegate Within, and be cause the prosecutor had voted him out of his situation he had, uotattheat him on the day laid in the indictment. The prosecutor had not been able to find the prisoner since, and that was the reason tor no, Indicting him sooner. James Williams was at the Haberdasher's Arms, in Houton, on the 13th of June, 1825, drinking wine with two friends, when the defendant, who was sitting on the opposite side of the MOM, crossed over and asked if he was talking of him ; wit. nets told him he was not, when the prisoner pulled him by the collar called him a scoundrel, an assassin, a blackguard, and prejudiced the company so much against him that the landlord was inclined to turn him out. Witness is a fishmonger, in Wood street, Chespaide ; has known the prisoner for the ten years he had been a subscribe, to the school ; the conduct of the defendant was such, that the subscribers came to a resolution to remove him, and witness voted against him; this it was that caused the defendant to call him a 4. rascal ; the defendant and the two others waited for him outside the puldic.house, swearing he should not go till the three had hail satisfaction. Did not go before a Magistrate, but employed Mr. Harmer, and preferred his bill at the Sessions a tortnight after. The prisoner had kept nut of the way ever since. Stephen Howard proved the collaring, and that there was no pre vious provocation. The prosecutor expressing an absence of all hostile feeling to *ards tie defendant, he was fined 13s. 41. James Brazier, a horse.dealcr, was indicted for an assault on Anthony Laurence, on the 15th of June. Laurence was passing on the Bagnigge-wells road, when one of dues ch'ldren said a man in the company of tour others hail stolen het necklace. He ran after the man. crying " stop thief," when the others all set upon him, struck hirn,•and nearly knocked him into the ditch. Ile was bruised in the body and arm, cut in the mouth, and laid up for four weeks. Ile had seized the man that had stole the necklace, when the prisoner and his companions revved li`m. Cross-examined by 31r. Pitt tante—Don't know what he (Mr. Pt is. Believes he has taken the wrong end of the case. Pet. hap% he did go before a 3latistrate. The first time he laid hold of the man the prisoner pointed to his house and said, if he wanted any thing he would he answerable for the man. Was not pulling the lad about; had him in custody. Ilad a think of porter since lie had been there. That was not all he had had that day. Had had a ti as of gin. Went to a Magistrate the next day. Tills witness so fenced with the questions, that the Chairman told him he was behaving very ill, and was destroying his own credit. Francis Sutton is a printer; lives near Bagnigge-wells ; saw the last witness struggling with the man. A great mob was collected of thieves, brick-makers. dustmen, and all sorts of characters. One of the men (not the prisoner) struck Laurence in the mouth. Was not half a . yarel distant. The prisoner said, " D—n me if he shall he taken. ' The others collected round the man who took the necklace, and he escaped. Another witness saw Laurence running after the young man that maned. The prisoner told him that nobody had a right to take the man without a warrant, and called out, " Muzzle him, Jem; manic him !" The prosecutor was bleeding at the mouth. Mr. PHIL Ltreasiti the prosecutor told him he had taken the wrong end of the case, but the reverse seemed to be the fact ; instead of in. dieting she prisoner for the rescue, the prosecutor had indicted him to' the ass mit. There was not a single word proved about the as. Rauh by the prisoner ; he had meetly said you shall not take the man, and it you want any thing farther come to me, showing the hot* he lived in. The prosecutor must come again and indict the prisoner for the rescue, wlien he was sober; at present he was under toe combined influence of gin and porter rioting in his head ; he dare any he was a very honest man, but not in his right character— he was a little disguised. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. William Nurse, a publican in Charlev.atreet, Westminster. was indicted for an assault on John Wilinan Payne, a police utbeer. The parties lire next door to each other, and had;some difference previous to the I.lth of June, the day stated in the indictment. Payne Brea with his mother, who keeps an oysttr.shop and sells ginger.beer. As the daughter of Nurse was passing the door, the proseentor was lighting his gas-lamp. and threw the lighted paper sin the child's bonnet, and burnt it. 'Nurse came to speak about it, word. ensued, Payne struck him on the head with his staff, and Nurse knocked him down by a blow on the eye; he got up and was knocked down a second time by Nurse, who trampled on him and kicked him. Susan Payne, his mother, came out of her parlour with a hot flatiron and burnt the prisoner's face. *wend witnesses deposed to certain parts of the transaction, and the prisoner was acquitted. Mr. ALLEY said, there was an Act of Parliament which did sway with burning with hot irons. Mr. Ant:menus remarked that that was after conviction ; as it was, they had committed a larceny, by bringing away the iron to profuse in Court. /teary Howes, a botcher, was indicted for assaulting Elizabeth, theswife of John Martin, on the 15th of May. and saying he would as lieve kill her as a pig. The parties are neighbours. The pro. riecinrix detected the daughter of the prisoner stealing some wood ; her husband beat the girl, and the father came to the shop and beat both man and wife. The sober was fined 10/. with liberty to speak to the protects. ens: He said he would not pay 10,6 The Clerk of the Arraigns—Keep him till It Is paid. 4rtchavidels Wombwell, a cow-keeper, in Etlwarda'a-bine, Stoke Newington, was indicted for an alosault on Harriet Stent Beck, a :coward girl of 13, on the 2rl of June. The girl went to beg acme hay for her rabbits ; the prisoner took her to the c..w.house under pectence of seeing two calves and a little pig, where the assault took place. She went away with her hay, and though the hay-barn adjoins the kitchen where two or three were at dinner, she made no remark till she went home. There had been a dispute between the patentee( the girl and the prisoner aboht a bit of land ; there was no surgeon consulted, nor any evi itenee given before a Magistrate. The observations of the Chairman and Counsel were very point. 'ld, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner without hesitation. Hobert Phillips, a hairdresser, was indicted for assaulting Elba Allenby, the wife of an artist, while walking in Laicoln s Inn. bell.. The prisoner and husband of the prosecutrix had a dispute four y tars ago, which rankled in his blond. The prosecuttix was far advanced in die family way, and. to provoke the husband, stopped them, called him a thief, and asked whose bastard was that, allud ing to her situation, saying he should like to pummel his thick head. The prisoner aggravated his case by sending a sheet of ri baldry to the prosseuttix, of such indecency as not fit to be read in Court. rke prisoner denied sending the letter; said he did not intend to assault. the wise ; was fi,ett 811. lid. and entered into sureties of 201. to keep die peace foe twelve months. Tus M`KEAND/I.—The late melancholy event at Win ton, for which the WKeands forfeited their lives, has been made the subject of a melo-drama, which is advertised to be performed at Manchester. DREADFUL EFFECT/ or UNGOVERNABLE PASSION.— We are truly sorry to observe that Mr. Eburne, a farmer, of Royton-on-Dunsmore, near this city (Coventry), se verely wounded his youngest son, on Thursday last, by discharging a gun at him, in his house. It appears that the young man had been at Warwick Races, and on his return some altercation ensued between him and his father, and the shocking result was as has been above stated. We lament to add, the son lies in imminent danger ; and the father, who absconded, has not yet been apprehended.— Cot/ tarry Paper. About seven o'clock on Thursday evening an explosion o, gas took place in a shop in Argyle-street. The inmates of the shop had been for some time annoyed with the smell, !pit it could not be discovered from wind part of their pipes proceeded. It appears, however, that the escaping gas 'nod gathered about the ceiling of the shop, RINI becoming ?gutted by some unknown means, it tore off a large quan tity of the plaster in three places, Forced open the press, and one of the lobby doors, broke the counter, extinguish ed the lights, and shook the whole tenement to the foun dation. One of the shopmen was struck, and slightly cut on the head, but fortunately no other person was hurt.— (elasgow Chronicle. Tits COMET STLAM BOAT.—The hull of this vessel was sold by auction at Crourock, on Wednesday, for st/. her boilers, which were useless, except as old metal, were rapped to sale at the same time, when SI per pound, amounting to about 440/., was offered and refused. We understand they have since been purchased by Mr. Stephen Millar, of Glasgow, for not leas than 6001. ! POLtr MAYSION-HOCRF.—Yemenlay a street-keeper, named Mayes. and a cad mimed Churchill, were brought before the Lord Mayor by Mr. Cope, the Marshal, under the following remarkable cir cumstances. Mr. Cope's statement was to the following effect Saturday last a person applied at the Mansion-house fur the assistance of the in consequence of a very serious disturbance at a public- house in beidenhall-street, called the Black Boy and Camel. When the officers went to the mint, they saw Hayes in a state of I intoxication, and upon inquiry ascertained that lie had, at the in stance of a woman who charged a sailor 9/. 10a. for ten days' board and lodging, taking by force from the lattt r two M. notes and some silver. for doing which he had been rewarded with the sum of' three pounds five shillings! The officers then immediately conducted Hayes to the Mansion-house, where Mr. Cope questioned him upon the subject. Hayes denied that he had received any money, or that he had any in his possession. However, upon being assur ed by the Marshal that there was no use in attempting to conceal the fact, he pulled out the money, and said, upon being further questioned, that he had is great deal of trouble about the business, and deserved what he received. The Marshal conceiving that this was an instance of the system of plunder to which seamen are sub ject, took care to produce the evidence before the Lord Mayor. Stapleton. the sailor, front whom the money had been taken, stated as follows belonged to a West India trader, and went on Saturday to Copthall-court, accompanied by Mrs. Fords, his landlady, and Churchill, to get his money. lle received two 61. notes, four sovereigns, and some silver, and as he owed Mrs. Forde some money, he believed between 41. and 5/., he gave her the four sovereigns, and told her that when lie should return home he should give her any . more that might be due. She was not *mil ficd, but asked him into the public-house, and ordered a glass of hot rum and water, of which he drank. She then went down, and in her absence he put the two M. notes into his stocking. No sooner had he done so, however, titan up came Hayes and Church ill. Hayes said that lie was an officer, and that he came to take the money ; and then Churchill held him while Hayes overhauled him, and took from him his two 11. notes. He did not see what they did with the money, but he lost sight of every halfpenny of it from that moment. Mrs. For& said, when she returned to the room, that she was to have to the amount of her bill, and find he (the sailor) was to have the Mimes, but lie never got a farthing bark out of the 141. odd shillings, which he had just received. Hayes seemed unconcerned at hearing this statement, but was roused by the Lord Mayor, who said, " If what the sailor says is true, this is a robbery, or I don't know what is." Hayes said he was not conscious of having committed any offence. He was off duty at the time the disturbance took place, and was called up stairs by Mrs. Foyle, who said that the sailor charged her with having robbed him of 10/. and requested that her accuser might be searched, as he had the money about him. Churchill had mentioned that the sailor Put the notes in his stocking, and the sailor did not at all object to be searched, but produced the money from his stocking, without being interfered with. The sailor then agreed to pay Mrs. Fordc the whole of her bill, and a receipt was brought in by Churchill, and signtil by Mrs. Fortle, who received hl. Ins. the amount of her bill. There remained in his (Hayes's) hands 3/. 3s. and he advised the sailor, who was in such a state of drunkenness as not to be able to care of himself, to leave the cash in his hands until he should recover. All he meant in the world was to take care of the money. (A laugh.) Gray, the officer, stated, that lie went to the public-house, and saw Hayes in a state of intoxication, struggling with the sailor, who was crying out, " Give me my money." Witness said to Hayes, " Why don't you give the norm his money ?" To which Hayes replied, " I have not got it." Martin, the officer, then came to witness'a assistance, and also expostulated with Hayes, who repeated there, and at the Mansion-house, that he had not got' the money ; but afterwards, upon Mr. Cope taking him to task, produced three sovereigns; and on being further urged, pulled out five shillings more. This money Mayes said he had got among•t the coaches. 31 win, the officer, confirmed this account. The LORD 3lavoa (to the sailor)—Did they take the money by force from you ? Sailor.—Yes ; one of them held me, while the other over. hauled me. _ _ . Churchill, the cad. said that in consequence of the sailor's having said that Mrs. Forde had robbed him, lie went down stairs for Hayes. He (Churchill) had seen the sailor put the notes in his stocking after Mrs. k'orde had left him, and when he went up stairs, Hayes had the notes delivered into his hands. The LORD MAYOR—Who delivered the notes to Hayes ? _ . Churchill—Me, my Lord. as he was an ofli:cr. I then went mit fors receipt, and Mrs. Forde was paid, and the remainder of the money was given to Hayes. • Ilaym—My Lon% I never touched him. The LORD MaYou—You denied that you had the balance at all. Hayes—llly Lord, I gave it up to Mr. Cope, when he spoke about it ; he can't deny that. Mr. Cope—lt Is evident that it was your intention to keep the M. ss. You at first declared to me that you had no money at all; but when I told you that if you did not at once produce it, I would search you, you then pulled out 31. and afterwards the five shil lings ; and you told me that you had received it for your trouble, and that you deserved it. Hayes—l gave it up to you as the sailor's money. I was in liquor, and I hope, ,my Lord, you'll not consider that I meant to keep it. Alderman Lucas came into the Justice Room at this moment, and the Lord Mayor desired that the evidence should be repeated. Mrs. Forde, the sailor's landlady, who had been expected, and against whom the Lnrd Mayer directed that a warrant should be issued, also made her appearance. Mrs. Forde stated, that the sailor having been in her debt, she accompanied him to Copthall.rourt, and afterwards to the public house, for the purpose of being paid. Instead, however, of re- I ceiving her due, the sailor, after giving her four sovereigns, ac cusal her of robbing him of two 101. notes, and she was obliged, for her character's sake, to apply to Hayes; and, as she un derstood Hayes was going to search him, she thought it improper for her to remain in the room. Upon her return the sailor was willing to pay her her money, and she regularly gave him a re. ceipt • but she begged pardon for the bad writing, as her band shook, she was in such a fright. She had been advised to go to the Lord Mayor, but his Lordship was not sitting. The sailor, when witness said he had his notes, offered to lay a wager that he had not a shilling about him; but Hayes found the two 10/. notes upon him. Alderman Lucas—Why did you not give the sailor hiy balance, Haves? Mayes-1 wanted .to take care of it for him as he was drunk. Mr. Cope—You said that you were entitled to it ; that the less you could have was 31. 55.; you left the poor fellow no more than three halfpence in the world. Mrs. Forde said that every thing was " quite correct." The Sailor—l went to her yesterday for some clothes that are in my trunk at her house, and she flew at me like a tiger, and shook me by the collar, and said, " D—n your eyes, you infernal robber, get out of my house." Mrs. Forde-31y Lord, he came to me at a very improper time indeed. lie came to me at church time, and of course I could not do no such thing as give him his trunk at such a time on the Lord's day. ( laug hter.) The Loan 31AYOR—Oh, dear ! you seem to have a great re spect for the Sabbath. Mrs. Forde bow, d her head. Ihe Coen MAYOR said, the fact, as it appeared to him was, that a very base conspiracy had been formed against the sailor.— Ile then remanded Hayes and Churchill, and ordered Mrs. FOTde to attend the second examination, at the same time directing her to give up the sailor's trunk and every thing else belonging to him. FORGERY. Iliehard Rumba!, a young man who has been for six weeks in custody, on a charge of forg.ry, was now brought up to be finally examined. ..... .Ur. hes Wilson, who carries on business as a silk manufacturer in Wood -street, Crieapside, deposed, that the prisoner came to his shop on the 21st of September last year, and sorted goods to the value of La. In payment he tendered a bill of exchange for 1425. is, purporting to be drawn by Richard Thomas, of Truro, upon Robert Michel of the same place. It also purported to bear the acceptance of Robert Michel. Witness made inquiries re specting the drawer, and a reference was given to a very respect. able house in town. They stated that there was a Richard Thomas, at Truro, who was a very respectable person. The bill wan matte payable in London, at Menses. Carr. Glyn, and Co.'s, the bankers. to the order of Richard Thomas. The goods were supplied to the prisoner. Mr. ll.ta sten, who conducted the prosecution, produced evi dence to show that there were but two Richard Thomases and two Robert Michels in Truro ; and several witnesses deposed that the bill did not bear the signature of one of them. The LORD MAYOR intimated to the prisoner that he Mt It his ditty to commit Into to take bin trial. The case would in all pro bability he tried on Thursday next. Mr. MPIIRIES said that was impossible, as the trial must be put off. He should apply to postpone it, on account of the absence of material witnesses. Mr. HARMER complained that very serious expense had been already incurred to the prosecution by bringing witnesses from Cornwall, and expense would be enormously increased by such a delay. The Logo MAYOR said he saw no just ground for putting off the trial. The prisoner had had six weeks to procure the witnesses that might have been thought requisite. Mr. lluatretrtles declared he had expected that the prisoner would be discharged, and that no witnesses would be required. The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the next Sessions. Boer-STREET.—Yesterday Sir R. Birnie received from some charitable individual a letter, enclosing a 51. Bank of England note, which the donor requested the Worthy Magistrate to apply to the use of a venerable old man, named Dyts, whose vicissitudes in life and distressed condition was reported in this Paper during the last week. The letter was signed Ignstua," and Sir R. Birnie said that he would take care that the old man should have the money in stantly forwarded to him. SINGULAR CHARGE OF FELONY._ William Raymer, a young man about 0 years of age, was charged by Mrs. Susannah %Valker, who appeared about 30 years of age, with stealing 121. 12a. rid. her monies. The constable who brought the prisoner to the office stated, that' ' be had been directed by Mr. Roe, the Magistrate of Marlborough. street, to bring the peisoner from that office for rumination bstore /Sir R. Mime. THE BRITISH PRESS. Sir R. Bin fit E expressed some surprise that Mr. Roe did not hear the rase himself, and asked the reason why he did rot. Mrs. Walker said that Mr. Roe had been intimately acquainted with her since she was fifteen years of age, and tilts win sure that the would not have bee n a bl e t o have stoo d up before him, and sup ported the charge—she should have dropped on the ground ; anti as the case was attended with some peculiar circumstances, Mr. Roe was induced to send it to Bow.street for a hearing. . ...,...... Sir R i ßtnwt rin ns g al t d he tl ca ta se tn h o i d m o se il l b t t . Mr. Roe had very proper rea sons hr . not hearing Mrs. Walker Said that Mr. Roe was a trustee for her under a deed of marriage settlement. The prisoner said that Mr. Roe had no right to send him from one office to another. lie ought to have been examined at the police-office nearest the place where he had rendered himself into custody. Mrs. Walker being sworn, stated that she resided at No. 63, Sa ville-row, Lambeth ; she had been acquainted with the prisoner for some time; on Wednesday last Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, paid her two M. notes in halves ; she met the prisoner in Rupert•street the same evening, and showed him the money; on the same night the prisoner called on her at her residence, and stopped with her during the night. She had placed one IW. note, two sovereigns, and 2s. 6d. in a box in her bed-room. She left for a few minutes about nine o'clock the next morning, and On her return found the prisoner had suddenly left the place ; she instantly suspected that her property had been carried off; and on looking into the box her suspicions were confirmed. She went immediately in pursuit of him, but lie did not go home, and had sot been to his borne since. The prisoner said that her statement was untrue, for on his going home he was informed that she had charged him with a felony, and he went to the first constable he coult, lind, and surrendered himself to answer the charge. Sir R. MENU , : said, that as no property had been (hum! upon the prisoner, and as lie had surrendered himself to meet the charge, he should not feel justified in keeping him in custody. The offence bed been committed in St.triey ; those who had him in custody ought to have taken hint to Union Hall, if they thought proper. The prisoner asked if he was to be dragged another office ? Sir R. Bruiser said if any offence had been committed it was in Surrey. The prisoner said it was very hard that he should be sent to Union Hall •, he ought to have been examined at Marlborough street, hut Mr. Roe could give a good reason for rot hearing the case. Ile (Mr. Roe) knew that he (the prisoner) was his successor in the proseeutrix's favours. Sir It. Br N 1: said he would not hear more of the case. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS. A well known character at this office, named Michael John Davis, appeared as the informer against Mr. Spencer, the landlord of the Darn Theatrical Tavern, Russell -street, Covent-garden. charging him with having his house open at late hours. Mr. Ano t.PII us appeared for Mr. Spencer. The information being read, it appeared that John Davis, instead of Michael John Davis, was the name inserted in the information. Mr. Michael John Davis 'aid, the name he had gone by for years was John Davis. Mr. Norton, the Solicitor for Mr. Spencer, deposed, that he had known the informer for years as " Michael John Davis," and pro duced the proceedings under a commission of bankrupt against the said Michael John, in which he had sworn his name was Michael John Davis, and had so signed his name to the papers. Mr. ADOLPHUS said that it might be very convenient to Davis to sink his name of Michael, but it was essential that the real name of the informer should be given ; for if he could produce the record of the conviction of Michael John Davis, the proceeding would be quashed. A gentleman said that it was a very short time ago he had heard Davis swear in that office that his name was Michael John Davis. Mr. ADO Lpit irs—Vell, he don't like Michael; he can't stand before it. The Devil fled from Michael. (Laughter.) Sir R. BM NI E dismissed the information. It was stated that Michael John Davis had been indicted for a conspiracy by Mr. Spencer, and that was the cause of his laying the present information. Edward Pli;lpol. the driver of one of the one-horse caravans which runs from the metropolis to the adjoining villages, appeared to an information, charging him with carrying above six passengers. Mr. Sykes, the Solicitor of Stamps, attended, and called evidence in support of the charge; and Sir Richard Birnie fined the de fendant 51. ROBBERY- _ . HATTOS-GARDZA7.—Yesterday RoVrt Merlins was brought up for re-examination, on a charge of being concerned in a very ex tensive robbery, committed about a month back, in the house of Mr. Austin, surgeon, Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell. The prisoner, who is about 17 or 18 years old, had been footman in Mr. Austin's family ; and there were two female domestics, one of whom is now charged as the principal, and the prisoner was given in custody as a parterer rritninis. The following facts were taken down In evidence:—l arly in the month of August, on a Sunday morning, Mr. Austin and his family went out for the day, leaving his house in the care of the servants, and at his return he learned that one of tire women had gone off early in the evening. Suspecting. from her greatly prolonged absence, that some robbery had been effected, he minutely searched the house, but could not perceive any thing to justify his suspicions, until he examined a chest of drawers which stood in his own bed-room, in which plate and jewellery to the value of nearly 8011/. had been deposited fee safety, as every drawer was secured by the most approved patent locks : on examination, it was discovered that the back skirting had been removed, as the locks resisted every attempt to pick them, and the whole property had been carried off. On farther inquiry, the following morning, Mr. Austin ascertained that the woman was seen in company with an Irishman, named Riley, on the evening of the robbery—that they were carrying some trunks and band-boxes, and had taken a coach off the stand in Holborn, but to what place they had driven could not be ascertained. On information being given at Hatton-garden Police-office, the sitting Magistrate (Mr. Lai iro) directed Lloyd, a very active officer, to assist Mr. Attstin in his farther search, and a strong degree of suspicion falling upon the footman, who was io immediate charge of the house at the time the robbery must have been committed, he was taken i• to custody. From private infor mation Lloyd ascertained that Riley and the female servant had gone to Hammersmith, and from thence to Hounslow, but here for some time the clue was lost. However, Mr. Austin, who was still indefatigably engaged in the pursuit of the fugitives, traced them into Wales, whither lie followed them In person, and finally succeeded in effecting their apprehension, fortunately in time to prevent their departure to Ireland. Being taken before a Magis trate of the place, they underwent an examination there last week, and warrants were made out fur their removal to London, where they are expected to arrive on Friday, and will be brought betirre the Magistrates of this office on Saturday. Some of the property bas been recovered, but a great part has been converted into cash, end made sway with. The prisoner llartin declared his innocence from first to last, end the only evidence against him was grounded on some expres lions which the female prisoner let fall before Mr. Austin on her examination before the Welch Magistrates. Mr. LAING said that this did not appear sufficiently strong to warrant his further detention ; but, however, if any thing came out on thelfurther investigation, he might be again apprehended. IVith this intimation he was then discharged. It appears that Riley had men a long tutee following Mr. Aus tin's servants, and under* promise of his marrying her, and re moving immediately from London, she had been induced to plunder her master. EMBEZZLEIIIF,NT : ..... _ Robert flit trrthq, a rather genteel-looking young man, was placed at the her, charged with obtaining various sums of money, on account of his employer, by false and fraudulent pretences. The prisoner, it appeared, had been for some months in the cm. ploy of 'Messrs. Statham and Co., liquid blacking manufacturers; his business was merely to take orders, and was not empowered to receive money on account of the firm. lie had, however, as Mr. Statham mated, applied to several of the customers, and possessed himself of different sums of money, for which he had not accounted to his employers. Mr. Statham said, that he had not been able as yet to procure the attendance of the parties by whom the money was paid, but lie hoped to be able to do so in a few days. The prisoner made no defence, anti was ordered to give good bail for his personal appearance. hi LllOllOl/ GM ST RE E YvSterday Messrs. Lambert and Say, two gentlemen residing in Wardour-street, were brought before F. A. Roe, Esq. charged by Mr. Shepherd, the constable of St. James's watch-house, with having assaulted him in the watch house. The Constable deposed, that or. Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, the two defendants rune to the watch-house, ac companied by a watchman, having a young woman in custody. Mr. Lambert then charged the female with having abused him and his brother in the street, when he said he could nut entertain the charge, it being fur abuse, and on which he discharged the female, and told Mr. Lambert to leave the place. The defendant then gave him his card, but still refusing to take the charge, on which Mr. Lambert said, I *hall report you to the Magistrates of Marl borough -street, and demanded his caul back ; but this lie refused to do. when the defendant called him a scoundrel, jack-in-office, he. He then ordered him to walk not, but still refusing, he tank the defendant by the arm and handed him gently out, when Mr. Lambert turned round and struck him three or four times in the face ; previous to which he turned round and said, " George, you mind you say lie struck me first ;" when Mr. Say replied, " Yes." The second gentleman lie charged for not leaving the watch house. Mr. Lambert, in his defence, said, that he and his brother had ben out together, and on their returning home through Sydney's. court, two females came up and begsn pulling them about, re. questing to have something to drink ; this they refused, when one of the girls knocked his hat off. They then made use of the most disgusting language, an which lie gave one of the girls in charge to the watchman. On arriving at the watch-house, he gave the charge, stating the whole of the particulars, when the constable re. fused to take the charge; and, in reply to his striking the con. stable, it was false, for he had for some time past been obliged to keep his arm in a slim. The Beadle deposed that he saw Mr. Lambert strike the con stable three times in she face. On being questioned by the Magis trate, he admitted that Mr. Lambert had stated the whole of the charge to the constable. Mr. Roe, to the constable—You have acted excessiv e ly wrong in not taking the charge which the gentlemen had made against the girl of the town. Mr. Lsmbert was than sworn, when he re-stated the facts, and Was corroborated by Mr. Bay; on which the Magistrates censured Shepherd's conduct, and Seed him 61. Mr. Lambert put is bail A gentleman, stated to be the Bev. Jorph Taylor, was brought up for being drunk. lie had been living at the George and Blue Boar for the last month, where he had incurred a bill he was (n -eapable of paying, and had put oft the host from time to time till his patience was exhausted. The unfortunre Divine had a pro pensity to drink, which made him more offensive than his poverty. Mr. DYER discharged him with a reprimand. UTTERING COUNTERFEIT MONEY. QI7 EEN-SQUARE.—Yeltenhy Mat Ma Bird, a very interesting young girl, underwent a final examination on a charge of uttering bad money. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner 'mid gone to the shop of Mrs. Elimbeth Bicadon, a patrycook's, in Paradise-row, Pimlico, and in the purchase of two tarts tendered a bad shilling. It seemed that on two former occasions the had disposed of money in the same way and escaped ; hut in the third attempt a con- stable was sent for, who took her into custody. Alr.J.Field, an Inspector at the Mint, on examining four shillings, pronounced three of them base and counterfeit, and from one die. The prisoner, in her defence, denied knowing the shilling was bail, and declared she never was in the shop before. Fully committed for trial. WORM( P-STREF.T.—Yesterday, Thomas Ilayes,a boy appa rently not more than 12 years of age, wan brought before the sitting Magistrate,,on a charge of stealing a basket of plums nearly as big as himself. Ann Bates, a poor woman who keeps a fruit stall, near Shoreditch church, purchased a bushel basket of plums, in Spitallields market, yesterday morning, and deposited them near the door of a ware house while she went to make some other purchases. On her re turn after a very short absence her basket was gone, and she " catch" the prisoner in liamb.street, carrying it on his shoulder, and making off us fast as the burden would permit. It appeared from the prisoner's acknowledgment when taken to the watchhouse, that the plums were to have been a sort of joint. stock property between him and another boy, to be sold in the atreets at a penny per pint. The prisoner was to procure the plums, while his companion was to borrow a pint pot for the purpose of measuring them. The young delinquent was committed to Nesrgate for trial. FAM ILY SQITA BBLEFI. UNtosr-II A r L.—Yesterday a respectable looking man who gave his name Bows, was summoned before the presiding Magis trate for assaulting his brother-in-law, of the same name, The complainant, on commencing bit statement, called the Magistrate's attention to a black eye titer he had received from his relative that morning. He then proceeded to state that he was a married man. and that his wife having taken a freak into her head to abscond from him, " very naturally," said he, " I went to week after her, fearful that she might have flung herself into the river, or done some other naughty trick." In the course of his search he called at his brother-in-law's house, and the first object that presented itself to his astonished senses wan his wife, whom he had almost given up for lost. She wan sitting behind a screen in the parlour, and he no sooner caught a glimpse of her, than running forward for the purpose of embracing her, the defendant met him half way, and gave him a douse in the eye that closed it, and during the confusion that arose in consequence, his wife, in stead of remaining where she was, made a precipitate retreat, leav ing her cora spoon in the hands of a man that, in point of size was able to annihilate him from the face of the earth. He added that he nude an attempt to follow his wife, but the person who had assaulted him in the first instance swore most bitterly that if lie budged any where but one of the house, his other eye should meet with the same fate. Consequently lie was obliged to depart without 1 his wife, to whom no one had so much right, he said, as himself. The defendant interrupted him by saying, that he was justified in treating him in the manner he had. " The fact was," said the defendant, " the person who now made the complaint treated his wife very barbarously, and the poor woman, eisguated with his behaviour, left him, and sought protection under his (the de fendant's) roof. Thither the husband followed her, and in a state of intoxication demanded that she should instantly leave the premises. Defendant remonstrated with him on the brutality of his conduct, in the course of which high words ensued, and the result was, that the defendant struck hint in the eye. The complainant declared that lie was as sober as a judge when he went to look after his wife. The assertion, however, was COD• tradicted by two witnesses, who bore testimony of his having been blind drunk on the occasion. The Magistrate therefore discharged Mr. Bones, the defendant,and advised his namesake,the complain• ant, to behave better to his wife in future, and lie would warrant she woul:: not abandon tier home. I DISGUSTING INSTANCE OF immoRALITv. - An apprentice boy to a printer was brought up for neglecting his mas'er's work. The printer stated that the defendant was bound to him for seven years, and that he had served about 12 months of his time. For the first two or three months the lad went on very well ; but sub sequently, having formed some very bad associates in the neigh. bourbood, he neglected his business, staid out at night, and what. ever work he was set about always contrived to spoil it. This was the complaint. The defendant, a tine chubby-faced boy, began to set up a howl on hearing the charge. He declared that the complainant had not told the truth, " toe," said he, " my master reaches me nothing but gambling. Ile drinks very hard, is regularly drunk once a day, and twice on a Sunday. He attends the Baptist Chapel on the Sab bath, and often goes there staggering drunk. It is true he allows me a shilling a week, but when he gives it me, he compels me to gamble, and then gets it back again." The Magistrate observel. that by the lad's account lie had a very bad example before him. Ile should therefore advise the indentures to be cancelled. This proposition was mutually agreed to, and the parties withdrew. We have just heard that a butcher, named Yates, has been murdered on the Bristol road, not far from this city. The report seems, unfortunately, to be too true, but no particulars have transpired.—GAireester.fournal. DREADFUL. Munnes.—We have the pain of recording a most dreadful and sanguinary murder, occasioned by a fit of jealousy, which has been committed on the body of an un fortunate woman of the town named Mary Brown, by a man who was on the most familiar terms of intimacy with her. The name of the murderer is Philip Tinning or Tinneney ; and conceivin ,, that the unfortunate deceased had given favours to others besides himself, he determined within himself (aa he expressed it) to " see the far end of her." Having made an appointment, on Wednesday last, with her, to meet him in the neighbourhood of St. Nicholas, they walked together about three or four hours, from two till about six, during which lie treated her with some rum, which he had brought with him in a bottle, for the pur pose • and, in a field next but one adjoining to St. Nicho las' Well , committed the dreadful decd for which he now awaits his trial. Ile struck her with a hammer several times on the head, and inflicted three most dreadful wounds, from one of which the brains plainly protruded, and, ptting her hand up to save herself from the effects of' his deadly rage, lie oroke one of her fingers with a blow of the hammer, and completed the dreadful work of destruction. Leaving her body lying he flew into Scotland, but was so dread fully conscience-stricken that he returned to deliver him self up to justice, and, giving the information of the dreadful deed which he had committed, was sent to gaol, and his voluntary confession was taken, in which lie un hesitatingly owned himself the murderer. The deceased was about 26 years of age. She had a husband, Henty Brown, who is a native of Wetheral, and is now a white smith in Whitehaven. The prisoner is a native of Ireland. —Carlisle Journal. CORONER'S INQU EST—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor-place, on view of the body of William S , oith, a lad aged 13, who expired at St. George's Hospital on Sa turday morning about nine o'clock. This lad was one of the three persons, who, our readers may probably recol lect, was precipitated from a scaffold 55 feet high by the parapet of a new house falling on it, and has lingered ever since. The same evidence was repeated as was given at the inquest on the apprentice Wm. Evans, and the Jury returned a similar verdict—Accidental Death. We are happy to have it in our power to state that Mr. Jefferys, the other person who was on the scaffold at the time of the auitlent is likely to recover. During the whole of the past week, the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the Greenwich and IVoolwich road have been kept in a state of continual alarm and anxiety, in consequence of the numerous excesses committed by the sailors of the two frigates, the Briton and Leven, which have just been paid off: On Sunday evening about twenty of these fellows, headed by a drunken niessmate in a large seal-skin cap, with no other covering save his shirt and trowsers, attacked every well-dressed female who came in their way, and committed, even in the face of day, the most horrid brutalities. One of the fellows, more impudent than the rest, seized hold of the wife of a respectable inha bitant of Blackheath, and attempted to drag her into an adjoining field, even in the presence of her husband and a friend, by whom she was accompanied. In Mr. W.'s attempt to die igage the ruffian from his rude embrace, and extricate his wife, who had fallen into a fit, he was at tacked by the whole of these desperadoes, who, after beat ing him in a most horrid manner, made off towards the fields at the back of the Ship anal Billet, and, unfortunately for the ends of justice, effectually made their escape. Typhus and other fevers, and bowel complaints, have for some time past been prevalent in this town (Lewes) and neighbourhood, and in some instances the former proved fatal..--Susser Adv. The bowel complaint is very prevalent in this town. We understand that one eminent surgeon has no fewer than' 400 patients under his care for this disorder at the present time.—Lrierster Cironicle.

MARKET& CORN-EXCHANGE,SE►T. We had a tolerable tair supply of all English Grain (except Oats) last week, with an extensive arrival of Foreign Oats and a few parcels of Beans and Peas. This morning the fresh supply of English Corn was very moderate. The Wheat trade was very dell all the morning, and samples of the best runs barely supported lan Monday's currency. Fine new Barley was in request for enaltiog, and readily obtained full as high prices as this day week. Wend • brisk demand for Oats to-day, having many country as well as town buyers at market, and at a reduction in price of about Is. per quarter on the rates of last Monday. Considerable sales was et. lected. This is making the market as to price about Is. ref corr. ter dearer than on Friday. Beans gold readily at about the a•a terms as last week ; but Peas (particularly White) were heavy tab and cheaper. Winter Tares (for seed) were about Is. per braid cheaper. SMITHFIELD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. The number of beasts on the stones this morning was plentifd i but so very few were shown in 3 condition fit for the butcher. sW those few were so eagerly picked up early in the dsy, tl.ut mar country purchasers returned home without paying, !lolling being left suited to their purpose ; res. 2d. was the current value of tit best, whilst 4s.

The former had a lively trade at an improvement generally of 211. per stone; but Lamb ns 4d. lower, and sales heavy even with that reduction.
