The plaintiff's • ,claim had been duly referred to arbitrators, who had given their award is hie favour. The action was brought to recover the ex. , • swan he had incnrred by the attendance of his attorney, Mr. voiles, and other witnesses, which had been omitted in the award.

The plaintiff as • seek ; the defendant a gentleman of fortune, in Derbyshire. Me. Till/ALL opened the pleadingi. 1111 r. On a altY stated die case. The plaintiff had been engaged Uthe defendant as his oink, at the rate of three guineas a week. a he had been two ix three weeks the defendant's senior, he seas suddenly dismissed; no pretence having been faised that he had in any respect neglected the performance of his duties. Richer d 11'athain. a servant of the defendant, proved two letters written by his mater : the first, dated July 1, proposed to engage the plaintiff ea his cook, till Miehaelmag the second, dated the nth July, directed him to proceed to Parley Abbey, the seat of the de fendant,hy the filth of that month, as the references to his character had been found satisfactory. Francis P egg, _ the defendant's butler, proved that the plaintiff arrived at Daley Abbey on the 211th of July, and immediately entered on his duty, in the discharge of which he remained till the nth of Au4ust. Ile then quitted it by order of the defendant. On cross-examination, the win.eaa stated, that the reason why the plaintiff' was ordered to leave 4as. that he refused to dine in the serautui-hall, according to the custom of die family. When his master's rioter was given hint in writing, he tore it up and threw it rt a ge , r7 Ifianiidts ho wouldie i n n ot th w e hey i v t. ant t s f ' ( 2l;2 2 . relflue*ed to was al li e w n w se ti t ' l e t away. Ite-cxamined—The defendant objected that he did not find things comfortable among the servants. Ile said he had heard them coot plain. Witness had also certainly heard complaints. The de fendant dined away from the servants'-hall only two days. Mr. Russcll then ordered him to dine there, and he did so, the next day . I'he Loan J VST ICE was of opinion this case could not 'be sustained. Ilere was • servant tearing his master's order with contempt. A sufficient cause had been proved for his dismissal, and no other was assigned. When he ascertained he was to be sent away, he dined in the servants'-hall, but for two days previous he refused. Servants would be masters, if they were allowed to act in such a manner. The AreouNev-OrwEist., for the defendant, recalled the first witness, IVathem. lle then stated, that he had by . his ITUAlter's orders tendered In guineas to the plaintiff for his services for three weeks. The tender was made in money. Witness had a check, which he did nut produce. Ile went out and obtained the money, which was tendered to the plaintiff; and by him refused. The plaintiff nommited. LANTON v. GARDNER. This was an action . to recover compensation in damages fur an assault, alleges' to have seen committed by the defendant, a pub. lican in Raker-street, on the plaintiff; a brewer, in lieorge-street, Portman-square. Mr. fly uNEY stated the case. The assault would be proved to have been of an aggravated description. The plaintiff was first outrageously ir.sulted, and then seriously assaulted. He was, however, so little inclined to litigation, that he had offered to for bear all proceedings, on condition that the defendant consented to an apology for his conduct. The plaintiff's attorney was instructed to write to-him to that effixt, but he refused to make any apology. Under these circumstances the plaintiff was forced to appear an Court, and seek for that reparation at the hands of the Jury, which the defendant denied him otherwise. Stephen Gilling was than sworn.—l am the plaintiff's clerk. lie had a claim on the defendant for ale. The whole claim was something less 11147: 01., but tour hogsheads had been returned. I called on the Ilth of April for about 401. The defendant said there was alma 21. due to him for tickets given by Mr. laston's nephew for ale. lie produced tickets for only a few shillings. I returned back, and Mr. laston went with me to Gardner's. ' When my master entered the bar, he said, " What further de ' mends have you against me ?" Gardner answered, " For these tickets given me by your nephew." Mr fasten said, "You must be a d— dirty fellow, as you know I don't allow them, as my nephew has been robbing mc." Gardner then got up, and said he would cut hie liver out. Ile shook his list in my master's face, and drove him up into a comer of the bar. lie then struck him a blow on the breast, and knocked him against the window. On recovering himself, lie struck another blow on the same plate, and knocked my muter into the tire-place. Ile continued to use much the same language, saying he would smash his bead, and calling him a bigger villain than his nephew. Gardner would not let the tickets go out of his own hand. Mr. Laston was alarmed, and wished to go. The tickers were mislaid, and Gard ner said he would search us both before we went. The tickets, were then found. Ile then called in two men, and said he would have somebody there as well as my master. Before that there was nobody there, excepting Mrs. Gardner. Cross.munined.-111y master did not call him a rascal or scoundrel. The parlour opened into the bar. Nobody was in either durir.g this transaction. My master's nephew lived with him. I suppose the tickets were fur beer he had had hirrielf or given away to others. They were allowed by the master in the settlement. His nephew was then in Northamptonshire. Ile is now at Camberwell. Nobody but Gardner and his wife, my mas ter, and myself, were in the bar or the . parlour during any part of the affair. Two persons were called in after it was over. My master did not return Gardner's ill-language, because I suppose he was afraid. Ile seemed much alarmed. I stn still in his service. The plaintiff's attorney's clerk produced a copy of the letter, written on the 17th of April, informing him that an action would be rernmenced unless a proper apology was made. The A T TOR 11E Y.GE X EE•L, for the defendant, said he would not make an apology, because he was satisfied he was not wrong; and if the case were to be decided only on the evidence at that moment before the Jury, the plaintiff could recover only nominal damages ; but the defendant Insisted upon having his witnesses called, by whom it would be shown that the assault had originated in the violence of die plaintiff himself. Wm. 'Jaycee:la ewom—l was at the house uf Gardner, the de fendant, on the Ilth of April. I saw °Wing, the plaintiff's wit ness, go in the first time alone. l law him afterwards go into the liar with Isis master. Thpre mjaeoaverastion about some bill. I want into the parlour, and 1 . /reentry Theard a noise. Me.alluener said, " They are quarrelling about those cursed checks." At this time a man named Lovett was in the bar with them. I went into the bar by desire of .51rs. Gardner. Gardner said to beton, " You have called me a shuffling fellow ; my character will bee as much inealigation as yours in this neighbourhood." Laxton was walking shout on tiptoes, with his hands in his pockets, and he went up to the defendant, who immediately said, " tam% spit in my face, Mr. 'eaten. otherwise I shall knock you down." lax ton was calling Gardner a shuffling rascal, and a scoundrel." He was asked whether he would take off the checks ? and he answered " Yes, yes ;" and also as to some deduction of ale. Ile then be came more tranquil, and left the room with his clerk. No com plaint was made by Laxton that he had been struck by Gardner. Johnson Levan gave similar evidence. Ile swore that Luton was strutting about the bar like a crow in a gutter, abusing Gard ner ; and that Gardner never used his hand at all to strike Laxton, who finally went away, " quiet, calm, cool, and comfortable." In the opinion of this witness, if any one was entitled to make a com plaint, it was the defendant. The witness indulged much in meta phorical language, and illustrated his meaning by very significant gestures, which excited a good deal of merriment in the tame Another witness, named Cook, stated that he saw the plaintiff leave the house in a great pOSSiGn. Illy. Guar; Er replied. The hams Cuter JUSTICE having summed up the evidence, said, if the Jury believed that the assault had been committed, as stated by the plaintiff's witness, he would be entitled to a verdict. The evidence for the defence did not contradict the plaintiff's wit nese, because an interval of time had elapsed before the defendant's witnesses saw the panics together. If there was any apparent eon , tradietiun, it would then he the duty of the Jury to weigh the evi dence on each side. They had witnessed the warm manner, and heard the loose language in which one of the defendant's witnesses had given his testimony, and they could therefore estimate what I was this to his evidence. The question of damages would not be a matter of ditlieuliy. The Jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages, 51. CRIM. CON. ~,, e a,. LODGE V. 11 UDELL L• Thiele* an action to recover compensation Weleshages for cri minal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. 6!r. ABRAUAM opened the pleadings. Air. linnet:llAM stated the case. In discharging his duty, he said, on that oecision, it would not be necessary fur him, in stating the case, to occupy much more time than his Learned Friend had rensumed in opening the pleadings. The facts of the case lay within a narrow compass. The plaintiff was a clerk, at a consider- I able salary, m the house of •respectable solicitor. The defendant I was the son of a gentleman possessing considerable property, and entitled, ultimately. to an amide fortun e . Up t o J u ly 1821, the plaintiff had lived on the most friendly terms with his wife, when, in emoiequence of somefamily disputes, not between hint and her, but between hies and her mother, who then lived with them, and who be insisted should leave thee, they separated, but not alto gether, from the society of each other, though it was tound better that they should live in separate hour' s. No blame could attach to ' him on account of the separation, tor es to her insisting on her I niether continuing to form part of hh family, it was clearly neces sary that he should chew that he was the master of his own house. aln. hedge bud a lucrative business of her own, which, with her family, it was agreed she should carry on as usual, and he came to the resulation to live apart from her. Ile saw her, however, front time to time. They Lad lost one child, but had another surviving, I and this child led them occasional 4 to see each other. There was an intercourse of visits, but it went no fur:her, and this habit of visiting to sec the child, continued until within a few weeks of the period to which the attention of the Jury had been called. Before this partial separation, 31e. Merril had become acquainted with' them. He knew Mr. Lodge, as well as his wife, with whom it' would appear he soon formed the imimacy which hail laid the Mun-1 dation of this action. The jury would be satisfied that a criminal' intercourse had taken place between them by evidence that would ! admit of Do dispute. Mrs. Lodge, during the period of her Pepe- ration, not from the society of her husband, but from cahabitation a ith him. became pregnant by the defendant. When the child was born, via. in May, 1P2.2. twelve months after the separation, care was taken to conceal ire birth from Mr. Lodge, anti the maid was ordered not to COGiC in his way with it, or, if she happened to tall iu his way, to get out of it as fast as passible. This cor.oealment was practised a considerable time after the birth of the child, until die 'meth of September 11122, when, from the accidental circum stance of the elda child speaking of its little brother or sister, whichever it might be, Mr. bodge's suspicions were awakened, and, to his sulpha,, he found that ale. Lodge had hen confined in the Hay preceding. It would be the duty of the Jury to consi der, first, whether the facts were proved, and retiredly, what amount albumens ought to be glen. It was unnecessary to enter into any tapirs of argument to show the injury sustained by the plaintiff. In this case there had been only a partial estrangement of stein?, indeed oily the mere intercourse of man and win. In same cases, where there had been a total and voluntary separation between the parties, and that separation entirely the fault of the hus. band, though of all circumstances that seemed best calculated to being down the damages to a eominal amount, yet it was known that as ' large verdicts had bee obtained as if the reties had not been se parated. The plaintiff looked to the Jury far such compensation at the circumstances of his case entitled him to. According to the evidence they would apportion the Minima. There was another object to which the plaintiff weight to obtain through their verdict, a diem s bar which he should be released from his connection with a woman who had aishenourecl him, and his liability for debts which she might henceforth incur for the support of a spurious issue. Mrs. Ernester Blakey, an aged foreigner, was then sworn-1 knew Mrs. Lodge before her marriage; her name was Ilarriet Clough. I was present at her marriage at Mary-la-bonne church. I have visited her subsequent to the marriage. Ales. Lodge before land since her marriage has been a milliner.

Elimbeth Hughes sworn._l was *ferrule of Mr. Everett, where Mr. and Mrs. Lodge lived in 1821 ; they had one child then. He is an attorney's clerk, I believe. His office is somewhere about tiolden-square. I know Mr. Burrell perfectly well. Ile used to be there three or four times a week. bin. Clough. Airs. Lodge's mother, also lived with them. Mr. Lodge left his wife in the'' summer of 18'21, or 1822. I think about two years ago. She had a child born afterwards, at Mrs. Moore's. I have seen it with Mrs. Lodge. The first time I saw it, her servant brought it down to me in Charles...street, Grosvemonaquare. That was in 1822. I have seen Mr. Lodge call once or twice on his wife. Mrs. Lodge continued at Mr. Everett's about three months after Mr. lodge left her. I know the defendant was often there, before 31r. Lodge left and since. I used to let him in at all times in the day, and in the evening, when Alr. Lodge was out. He generally came when Mr. Lodge was out. Me used to call on Mrs. Lodge. He generally asked if Alr. Lodge was home; if I said yes, he would go away ; if not, he would ask to go up-stain. Mr. bodge has conic home, i mben Mr. Burrell was with Airs. Lodge. Alr. and Ales. Lodge lived on the first floor; and when Alr. Burrell heard Alr. bodge, knock at the outer door, he used to go up to the second landing. When I bad opened the door, and let 111 r. Lodge in, then Mr. Burrell used to slip out. After Mr. Lodge left, Mr. Hur. veil came frequently. I have seen them together, both in the bed room, and In the sitting room, I saw them twice in the ' bed-room. I went in once, and saw them on the sofa in the sitting room, when his arm was round her neck. After Ale Lodge left her, Charlotte Blake, her servant, used sometimes to sleep with her. I recollect Charlotte Blake sleeping with me three or four nights. Sometimes she slept in the kitchen, and sometimes with her mistress. Airs. Lodge rased in general to call Mr. Burrell " Edmond." 1 recollect one night letting him in late. Charlotte slept with me that night. She said they had had supper, and were having gin and water. I heard him go out in the morning, about five minutes before five. I knew his footstep well. Mr. Lodge is between thirty and forty. Mrs. bodge is a good.looking woman, twenty-seven years old. Crone-examined by the AvroistET.GenEwar.—The defend. ant is about twenty-one, and lives with his father. Mrs. had three or four workwonien. She is intimate with Mr. 11u 1 = mother. She knew him when quite a boy ; he used to run back. ward and forward with messages. Before Mr. Lodge left his wife, they did not sleep together. She locked her door. I never heard them quarrel. I was rot their servant. Charlotte Blake sometimes slept with her mistress. The night I mentioned, she slept with me down stairs, in the back kitchen. She had no particular bed-room ; sometimes slept down stain, and sometimes up stain. Where she slept below was the place where the uremia did sleep. I slept with her because Mr. Everett's brother occupied my_bed that night. The workwomen came at nine, and generally left off at eight. Mrs. Lodge had the first floor. The front room was the work-room, and the back was the sleeping-room. Mr. Burrell was constantly shewn into the room where the workwomen were. Did he n4;eo;baciwardsiindlorwuda with orders from his mother ?—No. I believe he came to see Mrs. Lodge, and her young women.

It may not beirimerally I:mown to the public, that, from strict inquiries instituted by Committees of the House of Commons and from other authentic sources, it has been ascertained— I. That Friendly . Sooieties, if conducted upon sound principles, tend to prevent an increase, and generally produce a reduction in the amount of the Poor Hates. l'hat wherever thts operations of good Friendly Societies are at all extensive, the beneficial results are almost incalculable. ----- 3. That good Benefit Societies will secure the tnembent from Ills tress in case of sickness, for months, years, and indeed for life ; but that Saving Banks meanly useful to those persons who arc free from sickness and scrams for a length of time sufficient to enable their savings to accumulate. 4. That, OW carelessness with which many Societies have been formed, and the erroneous principles upon which they have been conducted, have closed many to fail. b. That the chief errors which have caused Societies to fail have been the smallness of the monthly payments, the admission of old mei:dices at the same rate as young ones, the want of system in the management, and the impositions of the members; and that the plan of meeting at public-houses is highly injurious to the morals and subversive of the comfort and happiness of the working classes. 6. That the system of mutest assurance, as now applied in many Benefit Societies, is capable of the greatest improvement ; and 7. That, the greatest encouragement should be held out by parish officers, by the nobility and gentry, resident on their estates, and the public genera Iy, to the improvement of the existing Societies, and the establishment of others upon known mound prin. ciideles the most effectual means of bettering the condition of the nuinuiacturing and labouring classes, and the reduction of the poor ' rates. A petition to Parliament for the abolition of the duty on cider, is now lying for signatures at Hereford. The agri 'culturists of this district ought warmly to second this at tempt to remove an impost, which affords but a compara tively trifling amount to the revenue, but which is partial in its operation, and very injurious to the interests of the cider grower.--Olotteester JoaraaL MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, TUESDAY. JAW. 13. ASSAULT. 1 Thomas Anrgru was indicted for assaulting Mrs. Hart. Mn. Rosa Hart, the wife of Mr. Aaron Hart. stated, that on the 13th of November she was returning home in the evening, about hall-put six, to her house at Tottenham. She got into the Edition ton stage-coach at the Flower Pot, in Bishoptigate-street, at which time there were two females in the coach. At Kingsland the de fendant got into the coach, and took his scat by her side, and whispered in her ear language of the most disgusting and fulsome description. At Newington the ladies got out, and he and she re mained in the coach. The defendant forced his elbows two or three times into her side; she told him repeatedly that she was in the family war, and he would hurt her; he continued to insult her, and took the most indecent liberties with her. Cross-examined by Mr. Annals.—The defendant and her husband had been intimate from their childhood ; hut she had never been intimate with him. She could not say that there had been a dispute between them. There was a young . gentleman in the coach at the time the defendant of her the insults she had stated. Mr. Laver was one of the passengers in the coach on the evening in question, and heard the defendant ask Mrs. Hart how her sister was, and observed that she was a good girL Mrs. Ilart said, "Am I not a good girls I have bees married sixteen month, and have had one child, and am large with another." The defendant then whispered in her car, and she said, "Oh ! you nasty blackguard ! you nasty varment!" He did not see him assault her, nor did he hear what he whispered in her ear. The witness heard no abuse on the part of the defendant. A doctor was then tailed to prove the injury done to Mts. Bart. Mr. AltAlllN.—This is doctoring a case with a vengeance. The Jury instantly acquitted the defendant. Wm.Striekland, John Ihisk, and John Clink, were indicted fur obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Mowbray, umbrella-manufacturer, of Cow Cross-street, stated, that tet the 17th of November he left two horses in Saint Martin's-lane, in the care of a lad; on returning to the horses, Strickland came up to him, pushed him, and took the horses away to the Green - yard; he asked why the horses were detained, and then he saw Cuttle, the keeper of the Green-yard ; they then told him he had incurred a penalty of 305., for allowing his horses to stand in the street ; Strickland then (having the Act of Parliament in his hand) said he would mitigate the penalty to ss. each horse, and 10s. expenses, which he was obliged to pay to ob tain his horses. _ . Cross-examined by Mr. A Ll.TY.—Went to Bow-street, but the defendants were discharged, and he had to pay the coots; two of the defendants were beadles of the parish, and the other thi keeper of the Green-yard ; paid the 20s. to Cuttle, who gave a re ceit for it. The CHAIRMAN read the indictment, which stated the pretence of the defendants to be, that the horses were left in the street for sale. The witness added—He told them the horses were not for sale; he merely left then in care of a boy until he went into Aldridge's Repository, in Little tit. Martin's-lane. When before the Magis trates, the defendants were not ordered to return the 20s. ; it was at one o'clock in the day. James Ruddock, errand-boy to the last witness, stated that he was ordered to take care of his horses. He was there only ten mi nutes when his muter came back. Mr. ALLEY said, that he would prove that the defendants, thinking themselves acting correctly, took the horses to the Green-yard, imposed the penalty upon the prosecutor, and paid it fairly over to the Commissioners. The facts were these :—ln Martin's-lane was Mr. Aldridge's Repository for the sale of homes, a place of great nuisance to the inhabitants—not (observed the Learned Counsel) as far as Mr. Aldridge was concerned; there many persons exhibited their horses in the street, in the hope of attracting the attention of the persons frequenting this repository ; and these persons thus saved the usual fee for taking the horses into the repository. The defendants had acted, as they imagined, correctly, because the homes were illegally exposed for sale in the street, and were authorised to take them to the Green-yard ; they did so, levied the fine, gave a receipt for it, and paid it over to the prom q A uarter. Mr. LLEY read the section of the Act, which authorises any' person appointed by the Committee of the parish to seize any goods, Ace. in the street, and cause to impose a penalty of 10e. and not less than M. Mr. Alley contended, that the defendants were authorised to do what they had done without going before a Ma gistrate. Mr. Samuel Hawkes, clerk to the Paving Committee, stated, that the Act produced was their local Act; the two beadles (defend ants) were appointed by the Committee; they brought to him 10s. the penalty from the prosecutor, within half an hour of their having received it. They bear good characters. Robert Belwood, a housekeeper near Aldridge's Repository, de posed to the nuisance of a number of horses being left in the street, so as to endanger the lives of the passengers. Mr. Latchford, M:. Holland, and Mr. Canning, residing near the spot, deposed to the nuisance every Wednesday. The I:umlauts said, the case was very simple; the question was, whether the money was fraudulently taken : under the Act alluded to the defendants had no right to take the horses; whether they took the horses right or wrong, they did it bunefick. The act was not done secretly or for purposes of profit ; they took them to the Green-yard and imposed a penalty, which was paid over to the proper authorities. There was no false pretence used, but it was evidently a mistake; therefore the Jury would acquit the de fendants of the fraudulent pretence. The proper mode would be Jas the prommitor to summon the Committee for the money. TN Jur" food than Nee &Aft. POLICE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a very interesting young woman, rather shabbily clad, of the name of Melinda Masters, was brought from St. George's Watch-house, Ilanover-square, charged on suspicion of intending to destroy her infant child. She bad the child in her arms, a fine baby about nine weeks old. Lacy, the watchman, stated that this morning about two o'clock, he found her wandering about Blenheim-street, Bond-street, with the child exposed to the cold of the morning, which was very foggy , and he believed if it had been kept much longer under the air i t would have perished. She said, when in the watchhouse, that she had come from Chelsea, and that she had been in Drury-lane look ing for the father of the child. Mr. CONANT, the Sitting 3lagistrate, here questioned her as to who the father of the child was; and if she was in dis tress. Sbe replied she was in no distress ; the father of the child. she said, was a baker, who now lives at Chelsea, but she would not swear the child to him. She said her father lived in George-street, Richmond, from whose house she had come a few weeks past. Her sister now came forward, and said the truth was, that she had been abandoned by her father in consequence of the misfortune she had met with ; that their father was a respectable tailor, living at Barnes. She said she had been doing all she could to get her a situation, as well as to induce her to swear the child to its father, and that she was in the deepest distress. Mr. CONANT desired her to be brought from the bar, and strongly impressed upon her the impropriety of her conduct; told her the consequence of destroying the child would be a prosecution for murder, and the disgracing of her family. The lecture had the debited effect, and the unfortunate young woman was prevailed upon to swear the child to its father. She left the office with a letter from the Magistrate, to the proper Officer in the parish of Mary-la-bonne, where the child was born, for the purpose of doing so. DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY. Information has been received, at all the metropolitan police establishments, of a daring and systematic attempt that was made a few bights back, by a band of six robbers, to break into the house of John Brogden, Esq. one of the Common Council for the Ward of Cripplegate, in Bridgewater-square, Barbican. It appears that Mr. Brogden left London on Monday se'nnight, to be present at the trial of Thurtell and Hunt, at Hertford, leav ing his business (that of a jeweller) in the care of some confidential servants ; but the only person who slept on the premises was a young man, the porter. On the night of yesterday week, the pre mises were secured as usual, and about eleven o clock the young man retired to rest on the ground-floor. In the course of the night, or very early the following morning, he was awoke by a curious noise in the brick wall, behind a large iron safe that contained jew_ ellery and other valuables, worth upwards of ten thousand pounds. He listened attentively sad found the noise getting louder, and, from ha description, it seemed as if persons were making a breach from the next house. He instantly jumped out of bed, and sprang • watchman's rattle, with which he was always provided. This alarmed the neighbourhood, and soon the several watchmen arrived at the house, and were reinforced by a strong party of the patrol from Cripplegate watchhouse, who on inapecion found that the adjoining house, formerly occupied by Mr. King, also a jeweller, but then untenanted, had been entered by picklocks, and that the robbers had endeavoured to gain an entrance from thence into that of Mr. Brogden's, by making an aperture in the party-wall, and which they had nearly effected ; but the young man happily hear.. ing their operations, the burglars fled up stairs, and escaped on to the roofs of the houses. A perilous chase for several hours took place, in the course of which the thieves were seen at intervals, till six o'clock in the morning; yet, notwithstanding, they eluded their pursuers, who were numberleas. About half-past six o'clock one of the villains descended through a trapdoor of a house kept by a poor man named Bain, in Brickley-street, Golden-lane, in I the rear of the houses in Bridgewater-square. The trapdoor opened into a garret occupied by a poor cobler named Smith, w h o was sitting at breakfast with his wife and family when the robber jumped down. Their alarm can he more easily conceived than described, when the villain presented a brace of pistols, one in each hand, at the affrighted couple, at the same time, swimm ing he would blow out their brains if they did not accom pany hint down stairs quietly, and let him out at the door; this they readily consented to, and the ruffian escaped. How his companions descended from their hidin'_places is not yet known. In the empty house, near where the breach was made in the wall, the robbers left behind them a pair of old slippers, a centre-bit, a small bull's-eye pocket lantern, a large bastard tile, and a brick. layer's trowel. Mr. Brogden has offered a reward of 1001, for the detection of the robbers. One man has been apprehended on suspicion, and will be examined this day at the police-office in Worship -street. Spring returned to Prestbury on Thursday evening, and started for London last night, to exhibit at the Fives Court with Langan on Tuesday next. An Irish Colonel, who is greatly respected here, has collected upwards of 401. as a reward far Langan's bravery.—Gloucerttr Paper.
