ROBERTS'S HOOD AND MOUTH-PIECE. At the request of several scientific gentlemen, who 'were ilesirout of being ft.riher convinced of :he efficacy of this , esesentiou, the uosophistioated miner again exhibited the Utility of Ins apparatus fee breathing in a dente anti 11Wriaus atmosphere, en the premises of the Lot.don Me ehancm' Institution, at two o cock 03 Satualory afternoon. Among the gentlemen prksent were, Dr. Birkbelk ; Mr. Petiigsew,_ surgeon to has Royal Fl:ghness the Duke of . Ibsen- Mr. Ogir„ Professor of Gtolegy ; Major-General Zrrofeesor Von Breeder; Sir Peter Laurie; Mr. D. ; and many other patrons and ; rcfesicrs of scimee.l ..: A: • ,ht tr.,atites after two o'cloex Roberts entered the tha moor temporarily erected in the centre of the unfinished . .itutere.rooot : the dimensions are id feet square. in the j ..i.oat of this room a quantity of sbavines, hay, flec. silos been lighted, a pm of brimstone was ignited, aid atmosphere bonnie in a few minutes as dense and i *canons se could pu.sibly have been wished. The heat, Ipoitever, was not so considerable as on the former oecee:on, - abbough the vapour was greatly more u:isome; the latter caused by the introduction of a greater quantity of eniphur, the for gge mer & by the placing of the peu over the burning liatbrua rts remained in this room about 38 minutes, in an erect posture. During that period six bottles cf mercury were emptied by him, for the purpose of procuring in its *Least quantities of the vapour, at uifferent periods of the .earnnent, for subsequent examination. One of them was at 10, two at 20, one at 30, and one at 8.3 minutes after his entrance; the sixth was rendered useless from some unimpertant accident. The Callon ing was the state of the thermometer in the room : At the eBtng lee In the eenve - - - .- lel At theihme - - - • U During the time occupied by the experiment, a man in prteodance outside the room entered, and crawled about lot two or three minutes ; he was however compelled, by the noxious sum of the atmosphere, to breathe within • twelve inebee of the floor ; on one occasion he lifted his . heed for a moment, but necessarily dropred it again, less, as be stays, be should have been suffocated. During the time he was there, Roberts ascended a ladder placed 'against the wall; in order to examine the state of the ther mometer suspended close to the ceiling. and when the lower part of the proboscis of the apparatus was elevated to a distance of about twelve feet from the floor, the in truder states, that the poise made by Roberts, in respiring, -Was similar to the mein of a bog. Of this circumstance the inventor himself was not aware; neither did he feel . . any additional inconvenience hi breathing from his in .- ...teased elevation. On leaving the apartment in question at about tweuty ' four minutes before three o'cicck, Roberts walked quickly into one of the small rooms on the ground floor of the institution. Here a good fire had been prepared, and the inventor, speedily throwing . , off the really curious and valuable apparatus, entered into conversation without the slightest appearance of inconvenience. His face was in a lists of considerable perspiration, and his pulse at IN ; .ntherveise he did not appear in the slightest degree butt :. - ,y the trial. In four minutes his pulse fell to 156, in 10 to 132, in 15 to 128, and in 25 minutes from his leaving the room it bad gradually deacentied to 114. With the view of ascertaining this interesting fact, of. the gradual re-assumption of the natural pulsation, Mr. Pettigrew was in attendance, and kindly answered the many inquiries of his scientific friends upon the subject. lloberts admits that the heat of the room was not so excessive as on the former occasion, and says the only Ir:convenience he experienced V.StS a sulphurous adhesion to the roof of his mouth, caused by the increased noi • sameness of the vapour with which the room was filled. Vais important invention is that of an uneducated man, or Roberts can neither read nor write; he is a native of Lancashire, and is about 33 years of' age; the simplicity nr:' his manners gives an additional interest to his inven t.cn, and there is not the slightest doubt in the minds of those who have witnessed either of the experiments of the ultimate utility of the apparatus. Some shilling! and sixpences which were in his breeches pocket were *cites* bronzed by the operation of the sul )hltric acid. . i RET FORD FAIR. Aureoles, Mason W.

We are authorised to state. that the accident which oc curred in Hyde Park on Wednesday last, has been exag gerated. Mr. Dunlop was yesterday removed to his father s house, with r circumstances that encourage the hope of his ultimate recovery. On Saturday an Inquest was Urn at Sawtry, All- Saints, Nwinan Cross, on view of the body of Samuel Se.stoti, aged about twenty-one years, who, as he was get ting water out of a pond near his house, fell in, and was drowned. His hat awl a pair of yokes were found floating upon the water, and the buckets had sunk. About four years ago a brother of the deceased was drowned *site same pond. whilst getting water. Another brother was drowned in the tame parish, about 15 years ago, under similar circumstances. 1) i. ACClDricr.—Yesterday se ind& a dreadful accident occurred at di: cstton warehouse of Messrs. John Hyde and Co., in Bank -street, Manchester. A man, named Patrick Brady, in the employ of Mr. Spearritt, master porter, was occupied in removing cotton in the cellar, when a bag, thrown ARM' from the weighing room, accidentally fell upon him and broke his back. He was taken to the infirmary, where he languished in great pain till Wednes day morning, when he expired. A singular fatality has attended his family ; a abort time ago his wife fell down stairs, and was so seriously injured that she was obliged to be taken to the infirmary, and there died. On Thursday last, as Hercules Atkin, Esq. and another gentlenmn were conversing together in one of the streets of Enniscorthy, John Wheeler Pounden, Esq. came up, and, bearing them laugh, made some abusive observation, as he considered they were laughing at him. Mr. Atkin retorted in the same strain ; upon which Mr. Pounder) spat in Mr. Atkin's face. Mr. Atkin immediately knocked him down. Mr. Pounden, on getting up, drew a cane sword, thrust at Mr. Atkin, and wounded him in the side, but not danger ously. Mr. Pounden has been committed to gaol, under a warrant from A. Jacob and J. N. Nunn, Esqrs.—lre:- filed Herald. BARBAROUS Mu anee.—We have seen a letter from Toomavera, dated the 27th ult. which states that a horrid murder had been committed there during the absence Of the police at. the Assizes of Clownel, on a woman and a chi id.—Clonntel Advertiser. ATTEM ex- AT MuaDaa.—On Wednesday night, a little before eight o'clock, when Mr. Dunlop's new workers were proceeding home from the mill, John Graham and two other men had got nearly to the foot of Clyde -street, alien two men passed them, looking earnestly in their faces, and Graham observed they had pistols in their hands. One of them had often threatened him before. After passing a few steps, the ruffians turned round, and dis charged their pistols in succession, and mortally wounded him in the back. He immediately fell, ten slugs having entered his body. One of the new workers instantly turned round, and made a grasp at a fellow he saw with a pistol in his hand, but the latter aimed several blows at him, dropped the pistol, and then endeavoured to make his escape. The new worker, however, kept hold of him until two of the county patrol came up, when, after a desperate struggle, during which several of his confederates attempted to rescue him, they fortunately succeeded in getting their prisoner within the gates. 'the other assassin escaped. fire wounded man was carried to a house in Clyde-street. Information being given at the Calton police-office of these events, the provost, magistrates, and all the civil force of the Borough, immediately proceeded to the spot where this dreadful outrage was committed; and the neighbourhood being crowded with people, the Sheriff deemed it necessary to obtain tite aid of a n aty of cavalry from Port Eglinton. Capt. Hamilton succeeded in lodging the prisoner in the office. The prisoner was taken to the jail at one o'clock. Early the next morning one of the watchmen was fired at in a close in Main-street, and the new workers were on the same morning again assaulted on returning from breakfast. A spinner, ellarged with attempting to rescue the prisoner, was apprehended.—Glasgoto Chronicle. HIGHWAY Ro SSSSS AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.— Early on Sunday morning week, as John Mathews was going along the road from Hanley to Colbridge, be was stopped by three men, who robbed him of one sovereign and three and sixpence in copper; they then dragged him to the mouth of a coal-pit, by the road side, and threw him in; but the unfortunate man was enabled to seize hold of the chain, by which his fall was prevented, and of course his life preserved. Information being given to R. Barton, the active constable of Hanley, he soon after apprehended Themes Plummer, William Cooper, and Samuel Powell; who being axon to by Mathews, were fully committed on Monday., to take their trial at the next assizes. We un derstand that one of the fellows has made a confession of his guilt since his committal.—Chester HORRIBLE Aerate AT FERMOY.—A shoemaker, of the name of Tobin, who had not been on the very best of terms with his wife, having been the most part of Monday drinking, returned home with a quantity of bather which he had purchased. On entering his house he called his wife to examine his purchase, which she refusing to do, he pursued her with a knife in his hand, and before she could reach the door, to effect her escape, plunged it into the lower part of her shoulders, at the back, to the depth of two and a half inches. Immediately on feeling the wound she put her hand back and drew out the knife, which having wiped, her strength failing, 511 e fell down exhausted at the threshold. Medical aid was promptly administered, and she was pronounecd past recovery, her husband was arrested and lodged, by order of the Magis trates, in the Brideweli of Fermoy. He did not deny the fact, and appeared (although very pale) no ways con cerned; up to a late hour "on Tuesday the unfortunate victim still existed, althouAll no hopes of her recovery were entertained.—Cork Chronicle. DREADFLI. OtITRAGE.—Last Thursday night a most eine:ions and diabolical attempt was made on the person of John Graham, a cotton-spinner in Mr. Dunlop s mill at Brooma ard, Calton. He was going home from his daily labour a quarter before eight o'clock, and, when near Bar-' rowfleld-read, was attacked by two men, who came out from among a crowd, one of' whom, named John Kean, Ered a pistol at him, and shot him in the back. The wretch was soon after taken, and, after a dreadful resist ance, was conveyed inside cf the gate of Mr. Dunlop's mill. The crowd then collected around the gate, and commenced throwing stones, and uttering horrid imprecations against the unfortunate individual who was shot. Shortly after wards the Sheriff, Magistrates, and a posse of co 'stables, a-rived and cleared away_ the rabble from the gate. The Riot Act was read. A party of dragoons were sent for, and on arrive' pres Treel order during the evening. The indi.. vidual who was shot was carried to his lodgings in Clyde street, Calton. Dr. Corkindale was sent for, who elstracted, several slugs from his bark. which had perforated the spine, and stated that he was in imminent detrain The mob afterwards collected around his lodgings, and continued to utter oaths, and sing songs prepared for the occasion, which they, as a glorious termination of a iVoL, as they called it, continued to do, till dispersed by the military. 'this tnorn ing an immense crowd collected around the mill, and com menced throwing stones at the windows, and, after break ing a pane or two of glass, were dispersed, when they after wards proceeded to where Graham was lying, in'Cl) de en ere t, ard where they appeared to increase in numbers. Grohain was examineed by the surgeons this morning, and r r opinion is, that he is dying. Kean has been cart:weft-1 trd to gaol.

I rnmediateeiy after the robbery 100.'. wore offered for the apprehens;on and conviction of the offenders. Notwith standing the large amount cf the reword, in a few niehts alterwar.is (cur more of them were killed, precisely in the same manner as those on the former occasion. An addi tional lOW. was then offered, and the flock removed, for ewer security, from the park into an enclosure belonging to Mr. Choke, of Dulwieh. On Saturday Mr. Archer attended at Union-tall, for tl , e purpose of giving informa tion that two more of his flock were killed on the previous night in Mr. Clerk's fields, and requesting the assistancie of the police in tracing the. offenders. An officer was imme tiiately foe the purposes THE BRITISH PRESS. POLICE. OUILDHALL freely Hymns and Jose Bloernfield were chord before Mr. Alderman Tsio a P under the following circumstances : Woodgate, a watchman of Vintry Ward, said, he observed• about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, ;he prisoners coming out of a hogse of ill-tame. on Garlick-hill. The officers of the ward had reolcsed instructions to take into custody all parties who were seen to coute out, eith:r nt tbat or any of the houses of the same de. scri)oicia in the ward. In accordance with those orders, he went up to the persons, and told them he must take :hem into custody. The gentleir.an immediately gave him a volley of abuse, and said the girl should not go ; when they were got to the watchhouse, the gentleman became still more abusive, and assaulted one of the watchmen, The Magistrate ordered the prisoners to be discharged. Mr. Hyrum wished to know by what authority the watchman acted, so Car as to take any person into custody open such a charge ? The Alderman said, be could give no advice on it; but perhaps an action at law might be maintained. BOW-STREET. Folio TD PASS ts.—ln consequence of the exposure in the news_ papers a few days since, of the system of fraud which has been sin extensively canted on hrnughout the country by means of forged parses, purporting to be the regularly authorized documents 'some times given to soldiers' wives and widows at the War Office, letters have been received at this office, from overseers and churchwardens of parishes in almost all parts of England, detailing the frauds which have been practised upon them in this way. In most of these letters, the advice of the Magistrates was asked as to the surest mode of guarding against such frauds in futon, and in answer, a genuine copy of the authorised War Office pass has been trans. witted, together with instructions for the future guidance of parish officers wi h respect to such matters. The publicity given to the former Investigation at this office lona's° been productive of soother gooey —several gangs of the dealers in forged passes having in con , sequence been .apprehended in the country. At Maidstone, six I persons have been committed to prison who had obtained 40/. in a day or tw a ; at Tewkesbury, another gang has been apprehended, consisting of eight or nine ; and at two parishes in Norfolk, simi lar captions have been made. Evidence has also been obtained, through the same channel, against three of the persons who were apprehended In St. Giles's, by the officers of this establishment, on last Thursday se'nnight. They were yesterday brought up for final examination, before Mr. HALLS. Their names are—Joke He nr y Meyer, Sandi Meyer, Mary Dowling, a n d Mi.ry Wade, alias Fitzget aid. Mr. Wm. Overall, a farmer at Morton in Essex, and at present overseer of that parish, stated, that on or about the 11th of Febru ary last the prisoners Dowling and FitzgeraNi came to him a bile he WU at plough, and presented a bundle of passes and demanded relief for themselves and seven other women, together with seventy children, who were all on their way to Wales. He very naturally inquired where the other women and the children were, and the prisoners said they were gone on, ascribing as a reason for their not stopping in ibe village, that several of them were afflicted with an infectious fever, brought on by sudden charge of climate, they having all just come from abroad. Tha-peisoner Fitzgerald said that the overseer of Billericay had paid them all for 18 miles on. and that they wire entitled to the same payment from the parish of Morton. The witness took them •i the Rev. Mr. Earle, curate cf the parish, wbo made a calculation of the amount, at lid. per mile each person, and witness paid the prisoners hi. Ils. 80. for them selves and their supposed companions. The Rev. Edward Robert Earle, curate of Morton. corroborated Mr. Overall's account, and said that the prisoner Fitzgerald (who is a well-looking girl of about 18) told him she was the daughter of a soldier then on a foreign station, and that she and her mother were travelling home. Her mother, she said, and the other women, were ill of a bad fever, and had gone on. The prisoners produced certificates, purporting to be a ;Coed by the Commanding Officers of the respective regiments to which she husbands or fathers of those claiming relief were said to belong; and they also produced printed forms of receipts for money paid by overseers, and signed them when the witness had filled up the blacks. He calculated , the amount to %Van, in Hertfordshire, at lid. per mile each for 79 persons, and gave directions to Mr. Overall to pay the prisoner* W. I Is. RI. The passes, cerificates, &c. given to the list witnesses were put into the bards of a man named Wright, who swore that he was well a q u rated with the handwriting of the n.ale prisoner, John Henry Aleyer, and that the documents in question were in his writ ing. He once saw Meyer writing on a document similar to the passes now produced. Meyer denied that the passes were filled up by him. Fitzgerald and Dowling declared they were never in Essex in their lives. As against Sarah Meyer there was no evidence, she was dis charged. The other three were fully committed for trial, for conspiring to defraud the parish of Morton. They will be tried at the Essex Sesisions. Some difficulty has occurred as to the disposal of John Leach Miller, the tthiortunate lunatic, who was brought up here on Thursday lest, for threatening the safety of Mr. Hopkinson. of Regent-street, and his family. He was discharged from the uylunt at Bethnal-green. and there is no relation of his in this country who is able to pay for his readmission or his support there. He belongs to the parish of Chutney, to Surrey, but it is necessary that he should be regularly passed there from the parish in shich he last slept, and no one knows where that is. Yesterday Mr. Halls, in the course of some conversation on the subject, remarked that seve ral insane persons had been of late brought before hint and other Magistrates, and had been committed to prison and taken care of; but if they went on providing for lunatics ii that way, they would soon have enough to do. He could not help expressing his surprise that such a county as Middlesex had not a lurwic asylum of its own ; and he should certainly take an opportunity of mentioning the subject at the neat general meeting of Magistrates at Sessions. UNION-HALL DISCOVERY OF ♦ O•No or HORSE-STEALERS.—Wiihin the last two months • vast number of horses have been stolen from farmers resident in the counties of Surrey, Rent, and Essex ; and in consequence of the height to which this species of offence had become, Hall the chief constable, and Pople, an active officer of this establishment, were specially appointed by the Magistrates to commence • strict search after the offenders. According to their instructions, having been engaged for the last six weeks in scouring the above counties, they have at length apprehended two men con cerned with the gang. Yesterday, these two meo were brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. and their examination excited much interest, the interior of the office being crowded principally with farmers, most of whom had had horses stolen from them. One of the prisoners, named John Millen alias Jim the Yokel, was charged with having been concerned in ►tealing four horses, a cart, and a quantity of harness, front the stables of Mr. Rayner, at btsnford Rivers, near Ongar. Essex, which were broken into; and the other prisoner, George Smith, was charged as a receiver, the cart and a great part of the harness so stolen being found upon his premises. Subsequent to this robbery 150 guineas was offered for the apprehension of the thieves. A part of the cart, as also the harness found in Smith's house, were here produced and identified by Mr. Rayner, as having been stolen out of his stables on the 24th nf March. The case against the other prisoner, James Millet alias Jim the Yokel, was as follows : Hall having heard that he was concerned with a gang of horse stealers, which' had committed such depredations in the counties above-named, proceeded to the Queen's Head public house, in Freechurch-sweet, Bermondsey, and there saw the prisoner, whom he accused of stealing horses, but he stoutly denied the accusation, protesting his innocence of such practices. Hall then desired the 'prisoner to stow him to a small stable at the rear of the Queen's Arms ; after soma hesitation, he did, and there Hall found a horse which has been since identified by Mr. Rayner, as one of those stolen from him. The prisoner at lint denied that the hone was his, or that the stable was in his occupation ; these facts, however. the constable subsequently ascertained, for the landlord of the Queen's Arms stated, that he had let the stables to the prisoner, and that Millet had always represented the horse found in it was his property. After having recovered this hone, Hall proceeded to another wretched hovel of a place in King's.gardens , Maid-line, Holland -street, which the prisoner galled another of his stables, ai:so this place, tied up to a rack, he discovered the three cart whicb +ail been stolen from Mr. Rayner. Mall added that be could produce witnesses who would swear that they had seen two dead horses within the last fortnight, conveyed sway out of this last-mentioned place, which there was every reason to believe had been stolen and killed for the purpose of selling to the knackers. In fact, said Hall, I have no doubt, from the difficulty of recover ing stolen horses, and the obscurity of this place, but that it was selected by the gang as a slaughter-house for all horses that fell into their hands. A great number of picklock keys of all sorts and sizes was found concealed in this place. The chief constable added, that if the prisoners were remanded he would apprehend some more of the gang by the next examination. They were accardingly remanded, when Smith, on leaving the bar said, that he could bring most resreciable persons to give him &character. Millet said, that be was innocent of having stolen the horses, cart, or harness. lie was in the service of a'oman for whom he took care of them ; and he added, that on no account would he disclose the name of his master. A strike for an advance of wages, amongst the journey men carpenters, masons, helliers, and paper-makers of this city, took place on Monday. The reason assigned by the men for this step is the present advanced pr;ces of the necessaries of life.—Ezeter Paper. Bets to a considerableamount are depending at Manches ter and Liverpool whether Mr. Hemingway, the jeweller, :n the former town, cr Mr. Ksye, the statio;:er, in the latter, sells the greatest number of tickets and tharri in the present Lottery ; they are both agents to High in that town, and both have generally been very fortunate ; Mr. Hemingway sold the entire of one 30,0001.

This law is observed even at the present day among the tribes of Israel sojourn ing in our land. And further, they are bound, by a law of more modern date, to refrain from partaking of any ” fowl of the air, or beast of the field," unless they shall have been killed by one of their own persuasion bearing a special commission from the High Priest. Mr. Michael Jonas comrlained to the Magistrate, that the majority af the.lews resident in this city had combined against him, in consequence of his holding a Synagogue in his own house, eon. silting of nine individuals of his own family, and a Polander, the latter to make up the guastwin stf.cit of male heads; and that they had, by 'ilia combination, deprived him and his tribe, eighteen in number, male and female. of flesh-meat for the last five weeks. The majority of whom he complained. had, moreover, formed them. selves io , o a society. opened a public Synagogue, and engaged a Rabbi who wts commissioned to kill for them. .Mr. Hunter, the fiesher, stated hat he had entered into a contract with t, the majority" to furnish cue caress' a week. They pent their own man to kill the beasts, who marked and lotted out the joints prescribed by the olden law to be eaten. Mr. Lee, the Secretary of the society, iiiated that there would he no objection to let the awn. plainer have as much " chosen food" as any other individual, pro. vided he would pay up all sums he was due to the aforesaid society, and contribute his share towards the support of the Rabbi. The agistrate observed that that was no more than fair on the part of Mr Lee and his coadjutors, and dismissed the case—Glas g o w Free Prin. ilicictnr..--Satunlay afternoon an inquest was held at the :Olsson.'
