They then ordered the insolvent to be remanded for eight calendar months, and to be con flied within the walls of the pruon, for making away with his pro. ttrty with a view to diminish thn. dividend. Jeremiah Jai. Reading came up on his petition to be discharged, which application no creditor appeared to oppose. 1. appeared that the insolvent had been discharged by the Court i^ the month of July last, at which time he did not insert the debts • .1, in his schedule, for which he assigned the following reason. In tote latter tart of 11t22 he purchased a quantity of watches and jowellery for a person who was about to send them out to Sir Thos. Maitland, who was resident abroad. The deliveries were to a very considerable amount, and the party to whom they were consi;,meri by the insolvent abscond d, and firs not since been heard of. The insolvent was apprehended by the vendor, and indicted for the fe lony, and tried at the January Sessions of last year, when he was acquitted ; and it was in consequence of this circumstance that he ,'id not put the debts in his last schedule, and in doing this he foi -1 awed the advice of his attorney.

The insolvent was .hen remanded to his former custody, for the reason previously assigned. Mem. Thistleton applied for his discharge, which was opposed by Messrs.

The Clerk from the attomey's office stated, that the insolvent teaanie !nide to the late SheriE., by becoming bail to them for a person of the name of Ford. The defendant in the action &b -us:tided, and a writ was served on the insolvent, who caused con hi aerobic expense to the pursuers, by setting ups vexatious defence. The insolvent said that he was a police-officer belonging to the Hatton-garden office, and Ford, the defendant in the original action, was formerly the chief clerk therein, at a salary of 2601. a gar, besides perquisites, which were considerable. When Ford was arrested he became bail at his request, and never knew but the actin was settled until be was served with a writ, when he went to Ford, who assured him that he should sustain no injury. lie was quite ignorant of the vexatious defence, as he never employed an attorney.

DATDamonP.o a aEar .— Two}•otingmen . earned Xiilo . anti Ilrury lives, were yesterday pot to the bar, choe;ed with a most daring robbe ry at the house of Mr. Christian, of Cie Strand, at half-past eleven o'clock this forenoon. They are bath notoriously bad characters, and well known to the police. It appeared that the prisooers had been lurking about the spot for I days, and had drawn the attention of several of the neighbours Oil them. At the hour above stated, they were seen to go to the window, cut one of the squares of glass, and thaw out a quantity of silk. In formation was instantly given to Mr. Chrietian, and the prisoners were pursued. In the MITIe of the chase one of them dropped the propeety. They were immediately given into custody, and brought to this office, where the case being clearly proved against them by several must respectable witnesses, they were fully committed. On searching them, a knife curiously constructed, and a piece of wire, used for the purpose of withdrawing property, were found concealed in their clothes. On being removed trout the bar, they appeared to treat the charge with the utmost indifference, and winked to a person in the office, who made a hasty retreat. hl A KLBOROUG -STE LET. Yesterday John Ilnycroft, a respectable grocer residing opposite thealnion public-house, Ebury-square. Chelsea, was charged, by Robert Moreau Price, Esq. who resides near the same place, with maliciously braking his windows. Mr. Price stated, that about Christmas last he invited the pri toner, among a number of others, to his house to dinner • that in the course of the evening he (Mr. l'rice) had some di fference of opinion with one of his guests. who grossly insulted him at his own table; and that the prisoner, who had received many favours at his bends, had thought proper, ups.' that occasion, to take up the quar rel of that person and to strike him (Mr. Price). Feeling indig nant at this conduct, be the next morning ordered him to furnish him with his account (he dealt with him for what groceries he wanted), determined to have no limber acquaintance with him. Since that period (Mr. Price said) bin house bad been assailed by unknown persors and his wir.down broken. Determined to discover who the actors in those sceces were, he set about anteing, and on Wednes day night less, near twelve o'clock, he saw the prisorer, who liven . manly opposite him, fling a stone at his window, which dashed it • to pieces. • Here Mr. Price produced a witness, who stated that be happened I to be pannirg by at the time and saw the prisoner at his shop-door; he heard Mr. Price accusing him of having that moment thrown the store at bin window ; no other person whatever appeared in • ' the street. The prisoner roundly dribd the charge, and alleged that Mr. : Price had done all he could to injure him in his ht.simss. He was ordered to pay the amount of the damage done, and the costs of the watrant under which he was brought to the other. MARY-LA-RONNE. AFFECTING CASE OF DEFIIAVITY.—Yesterday a very af. fecting MSC of felony came before Mr. HAWLINSOX the Magis trate, wherein Cathr7ise &Wean, alias 1 1 :iUN Bush, servar.t to Mrs. Peters, of the Grand Junction Tavern, Paddington, was charged with having robbed her mistress of two valuable gold watches at d other property to a considerable amount. Mrs. Peters came forward, overwhelmed with grief, and could scarcely be kept bon fainting, and stated that she had of late enttr tained a suspicion that a robbery to a very great extent had been carried on in her house: and, on looking over her property on Tuesday last, aim found that a boudoir in her chamber, an:leh she continually kept securely locked, had been opened, and the most valuable part of its contents had been carried oft: On a minute search she ascertained that a 101. Bank of England note and two valuable gold watches, amongst usher property, had been stolen, but by whom she had not the slightest conjecture. She named the robbery to her daughter Elizabeth, and questioned her closely upon the subject, of which she at first protested her ignorance ; but, sub ' seouently, to her utter atithnishment, acknowledged herself to be the principal in the robbery, and that the watches and other pro , my she had given to Kitty Bush, by which name the prisoner Sullivan was designated. In consequence of this ilistreasing closure she sent for Harrison, constable of Paddington, who took Sullivan into custody. atm Peters expressed herself decidedly of opinion that her daughter had been seduced to enenmit the robbery by the artful wiles of the woman Sullivan, aNo had arrived at the age of maturity. Miss Eliza Peters, daughter of Mrs. Peters, a little girl about twelve years old, then stated, that about a week ago the prisoner Sullivan told her that if she could steal any thing, no matter what, from her mother, that she would dispose of it, slid give her a share of what it produced ; she consented to the proposition, and on Wed. nesday evening, whilst her mother was engaged in the bar, she went up stairs into her bedchamber, and finding her mother's drawers open, she took the two gold watches, and a 101. note. There were four silver watches in the drawer, but she left them behind. The gold watches and the note she delivered into the hands of Sullivan, who undertook to put them away to good ac count, and to n:ake her a present for the part she took in the busi ness, but she never derived any benefit from it. (Here Mrs. Peters' shed tears.) Harrison, the constable, stated that when he went to take the, prisoner Sullivan into custody, he also searched her box, and there tound Mrs. Peters' two gold watches, eleven sovereigns, and a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to the family, which Mn. Peters had not before missed. Sullivan protested her innocence of having instigated Miss Peters to rob her mother, that she had done so without any counsel on her part, ar.d that she had given her the property to dispose of for her sole benefit, she being about to elope with a young man. The Magistrate told Mrs. Peters that it gave him great pain to find that she had such a daughter, who (if Mrs. Peters persisted in the prosecution) he must commit as the principal in the robbery, and Sullivan as the receiver. Mts. Peters, at this address, seemed deprived of utterance, and begged ids Wership would not commit her daughter, who, she was sorry to:say, had now divulged a scene she little expected; but, she felt satisfied, that by strict attention, her daughter would reform her conduct, therefore she implored the Magistrate not to send her unfortunate daughter for trial, as the was an only and fatherless child. Here again Mrs. Peters' utterance was choaked. The Magistrate said, that in that ease the only course he had to pursue as. to discharge the prisoner Sullivan. After some further remarks, she was, with a very severe admonition, set at liberty. The office during the examination was very much crowded, and the case excited the greatest interest. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Esther Cummins, a decrepit old woman, was charged with felony by Mr. Benjamin Ferry. The prosecutor resides at No. 8, Upper Chapman-street, Saint Georges in the East, and is a pilot ; prisoner had been his servant for a considerable time, and latterly various articles of plate and culinary requisites were miss ing, upon which the prisoner was taken into custody. The greater portion of the property was now produced by three pawnbrokers. It appeared to have been pledged on the 9th instant, not by the prisoner, but by an agent of hers; the duplicates were found in her possession when apprehended. Tice old delinquent was fully sommitted for trial. TOWN-II A _ _ PAWSBUOICE as' Ac Smith, — pawnbroker, 11 igh. street, Borough, was summoned to this office, for refusing to deliver up a new suit of clothes, and a shirt, the property of Joseph Tucker, a lighterman. By the Act 40 Geo. 111. c. 99. sect. 12. all property unit:wittily pawned, to be given up on being claimed by the owner. The clot! es had been pawned by a thief, and being women to by the complamant, were delivered up to him. UNION-HALL A middle-aged and respectable-looking man, named Abbott, was brought before L. It. Allen, charged with haring assaulted Mary, his wife. on Wednesday last. airs. Abbott, who is also advanced in years, stated, that on Wednesday last her husband assaulted, and turned her out of , his house, without any cause, and refused to admit her hack again. The defendant, who appeared to be labouring under much agi tation during the above sugement, delivered himself to the following erect : " Your Worship, on Wednesday last my wife and I were sitting in the parlour together, ahen the subject ofour conversation turned EXECUYIONS. EXECUTION OF EDWARD AMOR AND JOHN GOODMAN, AT DEVIZES. Freon the Devizes Gazelle" On Tuesday last thew two unfortunate men, convicted of robbing and brutally assaulting Mr. Thomas Alexander, of Allcanninr, were executed in front of the Penitential v, near this town. 'I he number of people assembled to witness the awful scene, we should think, amounted to from 20 to 30,000 ; indeed, it appeared as if the whole county had poured forth its contents. lung before the hour appointed, the large yard before the prison, and the adjoining road, for a long space, was entirely . filled. Being the first execu tion that has taken place in this neighbourhood, its occurring on Easter Tuesday, and Devises Green fin being held on that day, all tended to increase the number of spectator Within a few minutes after twelve the unhappy creatures were relieved of their irons; and shortly afterwards they were brought from their cells, preceded by Mr. Bush (the Under-Sheriff,) Mr. Dowding, (the Governor of the County Gaol,) Mr. Cocks, (the Governor of the Penitentiary,) and the Rev. Mr. Mayo, (the Chaplain.) The latter gentleman very impressively reading parts of the funeral service as he proceeded to the place of execution. Amor, on entering the prison yard, gave a vacant stare around him, and then fixed his eyes intently on the ground. This poor fellow, we understand, was extremely illiterate; and his countenance would in dicate that he was equally devoid of feeling as of undentandinr ; ail though strongly built, his legs, as he walked. seemed to sink under him, and on the drop they could scarcely support him. Goodman's countenance, on the contrary, betrayed an intensity of feeling ; yet he wa!ked firm and erect. We occasionally saw a tear trickle down his check, but he struggled hard to suppress it. This man had teen a serjeant in the 3d, or Prince of Wales's dragoon guards ; and to the last ',hewed the eLtire mien of a soldier. Ile had been in various battles during t!te Peninsular war, and lost an eye in Egypt • in consequence of which he obtained his discharge in November, DNB, after being in the enr.y nineteen years end seven days, having entered at the early age of twenty. He received • pension of Isd. a day ; aril as a proof of his good character while in the army, he was entitled to the benefit of a fund, called St. George's Fund, to winch all the non-comniissioned officers, drummers, and privates, contribute, and which is divided amongst those discharged from the regiment without ever having been dis graced. Goodman also kept an evening school at Allaumings, and had formerly worked at the trade of a sawyer. Cy to the period of committing the crime for which he was to suffer, he bore the character of an honest want but was sadly addicted to drinking. Amor first ascended the drop, and as soon as the ropes were ad. jutted Goodman followed. A breathless anxiety now prevailed among the spectators, from the knowledge that both the prisoners had hitherto denied their guilt ; and the doubt whether they would petal. in that denial to the last. There was a deathlike stillness —not a sound was to be heard ! The number of unhappy wretches confined within the prison walls, and who were placid in situations to witness the sad spectacle, served to increase the awfulness of the scene ! The Rev. Chaplain now, with a solemnity that we arc incapable of describing, thus aeldaysed Goodman and Amor:— John Goodman and Edward Amor, I non require of you, and each of von, as you will in a few moments have to answer at the dreadful bar of the Almighty, are you guilty of the crime of which you have been charged, or are you not guilty ?" Goodman immedi ately replied, in a voice that could be heard throughout the im. mense crowd, `• Not Guilty !" Amor faintly said, " I say so too" —on which Goodman urged him to speak out. He then said in a louder tone, •• I say so too—Not Guilty, Gentlemen, Sir" (as if confused). Goodman afterwards addressed the spectators in the fol lowing words Good people, before I leave this world I wish to say a taw words to you. I shall not tell a lie, nor do 1 wish to smother the truth, but for the last time I declare that I never beat Mr. Thomas Alexander, nor did I rob him, on the 24th of De cember; our do I ktrotv who did." Ile then, with uplifted eyes, repeated in a firm voice the Lord's prayer after the Rev. Chaplain ; he also joined fervently in other prayers; and even when the cap was over his face, we could perceive the motion of his lips. Amor, too, prayed that God would be merciful to hint. The Chaplain pro ceeded reading the burial service, and as lie uttered the words, " In the midst of life we are in death," the fatal signal was given, and their earthly career was in an instant closed for ever ! The bodies, after hanging an hour, were cut down, and in the evening delivered to their friends. The assault for which the above malefactors suffered was proved to be most barbarous ; and there is very little doubt that the inten tion of those who committed it was murder. The guilt of the pri soners was established by a chain of evidence that they themselves have since admitted was sufficient to prevent any Jury from return ing • different verdict. Since the trial the witnesses have confirmed, in every minute point, the evidence they gave. Mr. Alexander, we are sorry to state, is still extremely unwell ; and, it is thought, will never entirely recover from the effects of the wounds he received. Independent of his evidence at the trial, it is the opinion of many legal gentlemen that there was sufficient to convict the prisoners. EXECUTION OF DALE AT CHESTER, FOR THE MURDER OF MR. WOOD. 'From the Chester Guardian.] Yesterday (Thursday) morning, at about five o'clock, this un fortunate young man was delivered up by the Sheriff of the county to the Sheriff's of the city, to be executed according to his sentence. During the previous night he enjoyed sound repose for about an hour and a half; Mr. Keeling sat up with him. Before he slept he was particularly anxious to be awake again at three o'clock, " becattse, you know, " said he to Mr. Keeling, "we should de vote as much as possible of our time to devotion." Early as was his removal from the county gaol to the city, many persons were there to witness his transit, and with as many as came within his reach he cordially shook hands, bidding them an affectionate fare well. He did not appear so badly in health as was generally ex pected. Arrived at the city gaol, the whole morning was spent in conversation and devotional exercises with Mr. Keeling, in which Dale gave Mr. Keeling well grounded assurances of his hope in death, and expressed his surprise that death could be met with so much happiness as he then felt in its contemplation. As the time fur the execution began to approach, Dale expressed an anxiety almost amounting to impatience for the arrival of the officers, and as soon as they arrived he begged to be immediately led out to the place of execution, which request was complied with, by which means the execution was over earlier than usual, nothwithstanding which, a great crowd of spectators was present. According to the declarations of Dale, made at the time when he could have had no earthly motive for concealing the truth or uttering a falsehood, he was not the actual murderer of Mr. II ood. He says that he had little or no previous acquaintance with the I two men he met with on the road, Taylor and Platt (the latter 'name he says should be Pratt, a person who was discharged tidal the castle of Chester only a few days before), and he believes that when they overtook Mr. Wood, none of them contemplated mug , der, and if robbery was contemplated by the others, it was un known to him. When he saw them use Wood roughly, he begged of them to desist, and was answered by a threat that they would serve him in the same way. He then attempted to leave them but ' was threatened again, au4 by threats and ridicule was induced to remain in their company, partake of their booty, and be, as it ap peared upon the trial, their servant. The sum of four shillin g s an d sixpence is all the ot her two allowed him of the spoil. Ile says he was not aware that Wood was killed for some time after. Wood had engaged him as a workman. Thus terminated the short career of this (we have reason to be lieve) amiable young man. Without criminal dispositions or habits (as it appears), through a brief and casual association with persons of an opposite description, he has been brought to utter rum—to end his days upon the gallows, when he had scarcely com pleted his eighteenth year.

EXECUTION OF FOUR MEN AT BURY. NS ednesday, the lour unfortunate men who received sentence of death at the Suffolk Assizes, viz.—Robert Bradnum, Eknjamin Ilezelett, and John Wrieeit, for burglary, and Jahn Cheney for the saute offence, and for horse stealing, were executed near the gaol in Bury. Their whole demeanour, after their conviction, was marked with the utmost propriety. They confessed the enormity of their crimes, and the justice of their sentences, and implored their wives and former associates to adopt a different course of life. The number of persons assembled to witness the melancholy spectacle of four human beings paying the forfeit of their lives to the offended laws of their country was immense. A daring robbery was yesterday committed between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, in the house of the Right lion. the Earl of Coventry, in Piccadilly. The butler had just pre pare I the tray with liinch for the family, on which were hve silver forks, five dessert spoons, two table spoons, and a silver mustard pot; he laid it on a table in hi* pantry, close to the window of the area, and went into an adjoining room for something he wanted pre. rious to taking it up stairs. The valet, going alrng the passage towards the pantry, saw a man with a basket under his arm, who had the appearance of a hawker of fruit, with his other arm and part of his body in through the window of the pantry : conceiving that he was on some business with the butler, he took no notice of him. Shortly after be met the butler, and larked himwhat he had been doing with the man that was talking to hint through the area win. dow ? The butler replied, that he had been talking to no man, and hurried into the pantry, where he was alarmed at finding that thz property above enumerated had been carried off. instant search was immediate) y set on foot for die robber, but as yet no trace has been found of him. IVedni..itlay evening, as Mr. Hcßlear, solicitor, Bristol, was riding a spirited horse on Ihtrdham Downs, near that city, the animal threw him for the second time that day, and the un fortunate gentleman having pitched upon his head, a concussion of the brain was produced : he was taken up senseless, and conveyed home, where he lingered in the same state till Thursday tuornir.g, when he died. NETTLE RA sit.—This disease, from being attended with I , an eruption of skin, like that produced by the str-ging of nettles, is called oettle•raah.

Boweds have been much wanted by shippers, ..and some advance has been paid for the better descrip tions, which are now very scarce. SUGAR.—EarIy in the week the Sugar market opened with much firmness, and the sales were considerable, at an advance of Cs. a Is. per cwt.; since then the inquiries have continued, but the purchases reported are rather limited. In Refined goods there Ku been a very considerable business effected, notwithstanding the holidays; very little variation in the prices can be stated. Mo. !saxes 265.

COFFEE.—The three public sales yesterday went off heavily ; the Jamaica and St. Domingo supported the previous prices; the Brazil Coffee commenced about 2s. lower, but, as the sale pro ceeded, the market again advanced to the previous currency. That were no public sales this forenoon, and no purchases whatever by private contract are reported. Rl.'M, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS —There is agreat alarm in the Spirit market, on account of the failures: two are declared to a considerable amount; the prices of Rum are completely nomi nal ; the quotations could not be realised. Brandy mar also he purchased considerably lower, but as no sales at a reduction ate yet announced, we cannot quote lower rates. In Geneva there is no alteration. FRIAT.—The arrivah this week have been ruler extensive: two cargoes of Currants and two of Denies In baskets, and four parcels of Turkey Raisins; for the latter descriptions the demand is rather improving for the home trade; Denial are lower; Cur rants very little doing; and in the other descriptions there is no alteration. —.... INDIGO.—The Indigo sale, which commenced on the 21st instant, is going higher than the January sale, from 21. 6d. a 3s. per lb. on the fine, and 3a. a 3s. 3d. per lb. on the good and mid ding qualities; the highest price given is 13s. per lb., and the lowest Bs. 9d. per lb., with scarcely any thing under 10s.; at pre sent only 1,922 chests are sold, but the sale is expected to cies! on Thursday next ; no Madras or Oude sold yet, therefore the price, cannot be quoted.
