On the morning of tbe Sth, the.servant perceived that the house had bed' 'woken open in'three diffrrent places. In the kitch •ip me of gias s h a d b een rem ove d I rons t he window,. ii -ma the spoons m ent i one d I n t h e i n di c tment removed. the door of the kitchen l le ading to the interior of 140 house was fastened, 'fart her admittance at that pan was impossible. luthei i appeared, that the rob, We being OL , mppointed iiiilit it attempts in that place, Iljd.foreed, an entry into tdr essing-room. There an *made Wender to that firth. .1 kitchen again opposed diem. .An attack had the,, t .een made on the parlour window, but with less IlUttef .s, for they had been un able to open it. The wind, p.v of one of the loyal mioms was then forced, but if iere the door of the chair barbed been fastened; atilt 11 sus they were again frum 'rated in their endeavours. The only property take* iMall these attacks was the spoons before mentioned end a , teaming knife. ' 'Wigs!, ‘ Mt. Newington heard ha loss, he determined to h , se no o pportunity of di' sW severing the thieves. Acco• rdingly, he called a nuns ter of his neighbours to hie assistance, and sent theta is every direction that 'he ti 'ought it was possible any tinforntion:could be obtain. .d with regard to the rob- The effect of this sear ch was, that, in the course of the Kee!, day, he heard the it three suspicious persons bad passed the turnpike-pi eat Heathfield. A pursuit was' - s uety comnierice d, and, in about two As* alter. - fo -,- bank I I • immediat -, die Prisoners were , and sitting on a . near East- Geinetead. They wee e seized and the constable ahen assisting in the pursait began tosearch them. Pike then said "he was imago ing to stand all that time, for he was tired." H e ttlei threw himself into a dry ditch, as if to rest himself; I iut on searching the ground *here he Shad laid, a- tu mber of Mr. Newington's species were found. No spoons, also the property of the prosecutor, and the i ouning knife that had been sest, etire-fouods in the poc ket or Payne. On search ing Johnson"they found a pocket-knife, with the 4point broken, gAti-in the f rame of the parlour window, which had been Sttempte d, the point of a knife was foot(' exactly teitylorti th the knife now discovered in the pockervirthe prim icier. The spoons lost were Vsisv protrlted, and • s*o rte to be worth 31. 10s. by a °".rsmith. The Jury found the pr isoners Guilty—Death. Thomas Purser was'in. licted for stealing, on the 4th cif November, a brown mare, the property of Benja in Challen, at Cockin g. illn the night of the Ith of November the mare in ation was placed in a stable belonging to the pro secutor, by olie of his servants. The next morning e animal site missed . Mr. Challen then circulated number of hand , bil Is in the neighbouring towns, with a full descriptim tof the mare. By the inquiries at. Lewes, it appeared that the prisoner had • pos to that place v iith the mare, and booked it for Obi st the office of an auctioneer. The next day, a pbrson named Eagi es purchased it. For greater se curity, Mr. Eagles asked the auctioneer who was the owner. The Ptia ( ,uer was then pointed out to him.— When asked how he came into possession of the mare, be said he an a farmer near Arundel, and that being rather unfor ttnat e, he wished to part with her. This perfectly satisfy ing the purchaser, he paid the money, and the. prison er was permitted to depart. When Csgles heard o f the prosecutor's loss, he immediately sent to miner n him, that a similar mare had been • bought by a from a person at Lewes. Challen came Ewglea h ouse, and identified the animal as his own. The' srisoner was pursued and apprehended on thelOtfrof 1 ;:ovemher. The Sri* oner in his defence said, that on the night of the'reb' wry, he was sleeping at the house of his washerwc man, and had never seen the witnesses now • 1 against him. Guilty—Death. Death. e xansioei Aka Haywood was indicted for stopping Samuel Pettit, on the highway, and feloniously taking from his erson a Bank note, a silver watch, and other - ;,proV.irty, on the 23d of October, at Heathfield. Vim • The prosecutor, who is a labouring man, had on *end of October, gone to a place called Burwash ; .• an his return he called at a public-house, for the pur pose of getting some refreshment. There he saw the prisoner, and remained drinking with him for some • t He and the prisoner left the house in company, the latter informed the prosecutor that he was go . g part of his road. When they had proceeded to ther about three or four miles, the prisoner left him, And returned towards the public house they had left. When the prosecutor had walked some distance fur ther, he turned down a lane leading from the main road. He had not gone far before the prisoner seized Lim by the collar, and, by the ..Issistance of another lain, threw him on the ground. They immediately pat their knees on his breast, and took his watch and some money then in his pockets. This action was accompauied with so much violence that one of the, ribs of the prosecutor was broken. The person of the prisoner's companion being unknown, no proeeedings were taken for his apprehension. '1 he next day, as the prosecutor knew the residence of the prisoner, he went _there and demanded his watch. This was refused. A warrant was then obtained, and the prisoner taken into custody. Witnesses were called on the part of the prisoner. who swore that, on the night in question, the prose cutor had given his watch to a woman for certain favours which she had granted him. The Learned Judge, having summed up the evi detice• remarked, that in a case of this description, it was the peculiar province of the Jury to decide be tween the contradictory statements made on the pre sent occasion. If, on duly weighing the different evidence adduced by the several witnesses, any rea sonable doubt remained in their minds of the guilt of dm prisoner, it would be proper to acqnit him ; mid they ought not to convict him, unless they were per fectly convinced of the prisoner's guilt. But if they were of opinion that the story told by the witnesses on the part of the pi isener was a fabrication, then their verdict must depend on the evidence for the pro secution ; but if they thought that it was a sufficient contradiction to the evidence produced by the prose cutor, they must acquit the prisoner. The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. John Brown and Charles Smith were indicted for stealing on the 29th of August, a gold watch, ,from the person of Simeon Elates, at Brighton. On the evening of the day in question Mr. Bates, a respectable druggist at Brighton, was walking along . I I It' i I ;j1 4I ~t ~.. _` 1 I ` pocket. Both the prisoners were stopped just as they were entering on the Clitf, and on being searched the Watch *ls found on Smith. Guilty—Death. POLICF. BOW-STREET. CHRISTMAS-DAY. Magistrates of this establishment, in conseqnence of the number of night charges that are merle during this festive season of the rear, determined to sit this day after the church morning sersieewas concluded, for the purpose of holding a kind of watch-insist delivery cif all the unfortunate eights and wringer wholiad been iocarcenited on Christmas-eve for kicking up rows, eiskinz assaults, and committing other noc turnal inisitenteators, which are generally the consequence of an exuberance of feeling, occasioned by extra doses ul Whitbread's 'testi/ wet, and Deady's and Thompson's blue ruin ! The Magistrates took their seats a little after one o'clock, and very quickly disposed of most of the charges, which were totally uninteresting. The following case occupied a portion of their Lime : A MODERN APOSTLE! A strange little fellow, whose egure was as finest burlesque of the manly form as can be well conceived, whose person at its estretnest height could nut he more than four feet six engirt, whose dress was perfectly of the antique style, and resembled nething of the present age so much as the ap parel ul a Greenwich pensioner, wild white flowing locks and lank skinny hollow cheeks, probably the effect of lung fast• sag and prayer, who, in fact, was what may be termed a travelling, or it inerant, l theological quack dotter ; an igloo /wines w Ito required to be taught rather than to have set him self up as the teacher of others, was brought to this office by Herring, a Hew-street patrol, charged with having created a mab in the street that morning by presetting upon various topics connected with religion, law, and politics. The prisoner Who slated that it was out the tint time be had been " in bonds," and had suffered " for his eseaster's sake," speared before the Magistrates Mr. Minshull and Mr. flails," glorying" in his "persecutio n." He was foetid by the police is King -street, Parliament-street, haranguing about 360 pennons. In-his address to his bearers be spoke of the Cato! Lotion as " the wicked Cely," and his strong pro vincial dialect ilienetinses excited loud laughter. He said that he was sent by " his jegther" to pradie to them, mad " they wnuld Ohs illimined as sure as old Lucifer fell from the grate or God's pewaslece if they debit believe ie his being miesioned by his devise meatier to sprade the Compel." He then sbuok the dust from his feet, and exclaimed, " Wue unto the CO, that has rejected thy seremit," and stated, that he had been impriamsed eight times in the City of London for preaching, and that "God would cut them off from his heritage ! ' • During this address the prisoner stood upon the edge of the curb stone, and before him stood an ass, upon which be jourtied, it was stated, from village to village, and town to town, to call the " unconverted." His ass had a new saddle mad bridle upon it, and a leather portmanteau was attached to the fiont of the former. An oil case cloak, gaiters, and hat cover, were amongst his travelling wardrobe. Whikt ho was in the midst of. a Moat fervent exhortation the police officers rushed into the crowd, and seized him, and con veyed him and his ass to Bow-street office. Ho groan ed, and the ass brayed. On the way, be told the officers who had arrested him, that domsalion would be their reward, for having dragged him to prison; and that God would raze the city of /emote for its great and manifold wick edness! His denunciations against the "lint city in the world" attracted great crowds; be called the officers thieves, and exclaimed "No Whigs!" and " Look to your Bishops I" The prisoner's ass was taken to a stable during his ezanuna lion, which was asfullows:— Mr. Minshull.—What is your name ? Prisoner.—My name is James Yandall. Mr. Minshull.—Why do you go about the streets creating a mob? you know you base no right. Prisoner—l hare a right; lam sent by my feyther r to pro claim his word abroad. I pracked last 1-esies Day in Smith field, and I shall do my fegther's work wherever it shall plays the Lela to direct me. Mr. Minshull.—l shall be obliged to commit you, if you don't promise to desist from acting unlawfully; and fassure you I have no wish to send you to prison. I hope you will promise me not to create a mob in the streets again, and I will set you at liberty. Prisoner—l will precis where lam called ; and it is a higher power than that of jacks in office that will support me. I will not promise. I have been eight times sent to prison by the City Justices ; and I pray ye to send me to imps's! onmeot. Mr. Minshull—l have no wish to send von to prison; and if you say you will not preach again, I will discharge you; I bare no desire to send you fur the ninth time to gaol. The prisoner begged to be sent to prison ; be wished to be a martyr in the cause of truth and purity. The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be taken out of the Office ;• and alter an admonition, be was set at liberty. His ass was restored to him by the officer ; and on taking his lea ve,ho said that lie should go racking again .in Parlia ment-sheet, and they would sec who was the strongest, God or the Justiees. He did not take thousands out of the pockets of the starving poor, like the Bishops • he peached the glad tidings of pace and salvation, without tithe or fro; he followed Ch Hat's' exanvple,in the true 'peril of Christianity. This most singular puritanical professor of theology then whipped his ass, and bid adieu to Bow-street. MARY-LE-BONE. On Tuesday Jonathan Wilson, the man who was remanded on a charge of defrauding a nery aged Ladv. named Him:ley, of a sum of ssul. Navy 4 per Coat. Annuities, by obtaining her signature to a power of attorney, and withdrew the money without her consent, .was brought up for final exami • station. The prisoner had been previously examined on this serious charge ; he has since that time been subsequently brought up, and as often at the request of either party again remanded. The general outline of the case is as follows :—Mrs. Ding ley, the prosecui rix, being possessed of a sum of sari. Navy 4 per Cents., imparted the circumstance to the prisoner, and confiding in his honesty took him with her once or twice to the Bank to receive her di. idend, and promised him at her decease the money should remain for his children ; prisoner, however, thought be would secure the fund before her death, supposing the old adage to be the best, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bosh." Having obtained the money by indirect means through a power cdattorney, which be got the ptosecutris to sign at a time when she lay almost insensible, and not knowing what she was doing, he drew the money from the Bank and absconded having previously left with the old lady twenty or twenty- five sovereigns. The wife of the prisoner being concerned at his absence called with other persons at the Bank, and likewise on the prosccutrix, to Medlin if the money was taken out ; suspicions were raised, and upon an application at Ibis office a warrant was granted, and the prisoner the next evening was taken into custody. Previous to his final examination taking place the prisoner bad sent a letter to the prosecutrix, offering tool. to settle the matter,and intimating at the same time he would forward it as a 111414 of honour, and as ma it ought to be accepted. It is almost needless to say that such terms of treaty were not accepted. On Tuesday the prisoner was brought np for final exami nation, when Mr. Harmer attended us his solicitor. The only fresh evidence adduced in addition to what has been already stated was that of a nurse who attended the prosecutrix ; she spoke as to the infirm state of the prosecu. tri ,and heard bersay the day after the prisoner had prevailed upon, her to attach her name to the power of attorney, that he bad gone away with all her money. A gentleman named Main is eriog, clerk to Davies and Tay. tor t stockbrokers, residing in Bartholomew-lane, said the prisoner came to the oßice on the lath of last August, stating that the prosceutrix's money was to he made, over to him, and wished a power of attorney to be drawn up, intinsatiug, at the.!tame time, tbatAarosecutrix was unable to come on account of inlit 'DAY. The power was accordingly obtained, obd delivered to his, who proctored the signature, and the mosey was taken out of the Bank, amounting to 3131., and de livered to the prisoner. The witness further stated that they would not have drawn up the power on the prisoner's asser hoe, but that they had previously seen him at tbo Bank with the proseeul rix. The prisoner, upon being called upon, declined saying any thing. The Magistrate said be considered it a most wicked trans action ; the poor old woman intended very well for the pri soner and his family, and he must therefore be oommitted for using the power of attorney fraudidenUy. The prisoner was therefore fully committed fur trial, and the parties hound over to prosecute. After the prisoner had been removed from the bar, a friend of the prosecutria's asked the Magistrate whether the money would be restored to her ; to which the Magistrate replied that he considered it would. posed for sale in the Window. te examined Use two moll produeedtv the officer, and was satisfied they were amongst the rest in the glass. The prisoner had been once before de tected by leis son in attempting to break open the same glass, and the window bail been broken three times during the last week. Hayhank said, when he took charge et the prisoner he said I he lived in Totteoham-court-road, but refused to tell what number. The prisoner declined giving any account of himself, but said he was of respectable friends and connexions; be de elated they all had falsely accused him; he was merely look ing in at the window, as well Is many others, when he was suddenly seized, and improperly charged with the felony. He knew nothing of the seals or necklace. Mr. Stone was positive Bo person was near him, except a suspicious looking fellow, probably an accomplice, who came up and ran away when he saw him seized. He was very much agitated when secured. The Magistrate expressed his surprise at the declaration made by the prisoner, when the evidence was so clear and satisfacitory ; but if he expected such defence would serve him he should have the benefit of it ; ■nd the Clerk was or dered to take down his words in writing. This being done, the prisoner was fully committed for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute. e COURSING. PETERSHAM MEETING. Matches for Fifteen Guineas each.

Mare ro Noway:ay.—Mr. R. Abernethy, the pedestrian, started at one o'clock yesterday morning, to go from Park lane to Newbury and return, one hundred and twelve miles in twenty-eight hours. He reached Hounslow at a quarter before three o'clock, and was at Maidenhead•bridge, twenty sic miles, at siz o'clock. He passed through Try ford, thirty-four miles, at eight o'clock. The pedestrian travels alone, and is desirous of avoiding public gaze. Like Capt. Barclay, his object is to acserlain his powers, rather than for money. This undertaking is for lea sovereigns.

BOXING. JOSHUA HUDSON, AND WELLS THE BATH MAN. It bad been whispered about in the sporting circles, that a plant !rein Bath had arrived in London, to take the shine out of some of the Satic heroes of the London ring. Josh. and the new candidate for lighting fame fell in oitb eat+ other on Tuesday night at a jovial party, when after plenty of chaffing Josh. became jealous of • rival, and off he doled his toggerg, and gave the Bath man a punch in the head, which he was too good to take quietly. The parties retired to a chosen spot, peeled, and turned to. Harry Holt second. ed Josb., and Mason the Balk maa. • sorry battle of tbirly-five minutes followed, although neither of the men were in right condition. Josh., in his usual bull-dog form, went up to his adversary's head, and dealt out punishment, but lie found in 11411 s a man not easy to ho shook ult. Josh. was parried and returned upon, and both went down. 2. Josh. led in this round, but he was thrown a heavy cross buttock. The next four rounds produced something like equal fight, both proving hialt-eouraged ones. The claret bustled about • freely, and the men got tired. Josh. was thrown heavily' again at the end of the sixth round, and lamed in the knee. 7. Josh. went limping to the scratch, and bit away under great disadvantages, but be was too good to give way. He placed a rattling lacer on his adversary, o ho threw him, and that seemed, at this stage of the light, to be his aim. In the 10th round the gallant Josh. managed to reduce vic tory to a tolerable certainty ; ho rattled away and did smart execution. It was Newgate to a seoutlien. it and it. Josh. had his work to do, and he was thrown heavily in the last of these rounds. 'rho tali settled the business; Josh. hit his ad y on the mark where the remains of two pounds of solid bad been deposited, and he gave in. The fight was for pure love and glory, and Hudson won it under great disadvantages. QUEEN-SQUARE. ' DARING ROBBERY. On Tuesday afternoon John Nerowents, a dashing youth, waq brought.lo this ogles from Tothill-tields prison, and finally examined before (be sitting Magistrate, on a chnrge of break • ipg the shop window of Mr. Stiles, watchmaker and jeweller, Chelsea, and stealing therein two valuable gold seals and a coral necklace.

CAUTION TO SHOPKEEPERS. The west tied of the town seems, this season, to be more than ordinarily attended by numerous gangs of thieves of the moat daring description. Various robcries have been commit ted lately, and shops in particular seem to form the grand object of their wicked purposes. One of the gang generally goes into the shop, and desires to be shown some particular article, and while seemingly engaged in examining its qua lity, is in reality fixing his attention on that which seems most convenient to be carried off woos cevemsnie, on his next visit. Ho then goes out as if dissatisfied with the price, but takes care to return in a lew minutes, and daringly makes off with the article already determined on in his own mind. The neighbourhood of tit. George's, Hanover-square, and that of ilo-sqnsre, are the parts at present most frequent ed ; the patrol of the former parish have been augmented in in number 11.6, in consequence thereof.

Many individuals of different persuasions were led there hum curise.ity in the mistaken in- I ieipation of viewing extra and ludicrous etremooies. The miede on the occasion-was very sublime and effective, and the principal performers were Messrs. Cloulden, Terrail, Miss Cuhill, !cc. who were in line voice. The music con • sisted of select pieces from Haydn and Mozart. The " Glo ria in Exceleis" excited the most admirable effect. The High Masa WRY solemnly performed by Messrs. Hunt, Hermon. and Law, and the taller gentleman delivered an eloquent discourse applicable to the day. The crowd was very immense, and the beadle, alter the ce remony was concluded, bad mueb diSculty to clear the sacred edifice of an immensity of curious individuals who forced their way inside. JUVENILE FROLIC AT CULFORD HALL. On Thursday the 12th instant, in commemoration of the happy recovery of the amiable Lady Louisa from a long pro tracted lameness, and by her desi e, the children belonging to the school patronised by the Marchioness COrnwallis, ninety in number, after receiving their annual prizes, were sumptu ously provided with a good dinner, consiAing of plum-puddings and meat pies ; the young ladies at the Hall, with their accus tomed benevolence and affability, waited on them, and after dinner joined them in the merry dance until tea and buns were announced to the party, after which the children resumed the trip, and kept it up until the evening was far advanced, when they retired, highly delighted with their entertainment, and grateful to their benevolent and noble bene actress. Every cottager in the village was supplied with a portion of plum pudding and meat pie that was left. CHEAP LOYALTY. The exact value, or what may by some be considered as more than its real valve, the actual cost of the wonderful " manifestation of loyalty," for which the hit, Lord May or assumed so much credit to himself in his speech on . St. Thomas's Day, at the wardmote of the ward of Vintry, may be ascertained by the curious in such matters, at the o ffi ce of the Chamberlain of London. These very loyal gentlemen generally contrive that their loyally shall cost them nothing, and his late Lordship, not withstanding his high seas" of " the distinguished honour of attending his Majesty, as Con for of the river Thames, upon the °edition of the late Royal Visit to Scotland," has managed to get the whole expense of his loyalty defrayed from the Cite purse. The singular adroitness by which this prudent act was effected, is worthy or being put upon record. An account or the expense incurred upon that occasion was presented by his Lordship to the Court of Aldermen • no small degree of surprise was expressed at the time, anethe Committee to whom the account was referred for examination, aware that the general feeling of the Court was in unison with their own, declined to recommend the payment, and actually re fused to sign the account. This occurred on the nth of No. vember, the day for swearing in the new Lord Mayor, and consequently the last Court in the then Mayoralty. It was therefore now or never fur the soot., the amount being very little short 01 that sum, and accordingly, at the next Court, to the astonishment of all the members, a minute appeared upon the journals, ordering the payment of this among other accounts. Not a single Alderman, present on the Bth of November, had the slightest recollection of any such order being made, which, it was therefore conjectured, must have missed in the hurry of business at the close of the Court.— The order, hones er ' upon inquiry, was found to be past recd, , for in tho interim between the two Courts the money had been received (tom tbo Chamber. Ilad the worthy Alderman of Vintry Ward introduced this anecdote in his speech, his °beers ation that " such &mani festation of loyalty was not to be forgotten or forgiven by the persons he had described," would have bad some show of reason it. _ _ . The vote of thanks to his late Lordship agreed to in the Court of Aldermen, it is observable, carefully avoids any notice of this subject. Indeed Sir James Shaw, who moved it, insisted that all allusion to this "manifestation of loyalty" should be omitted ; and Mr. Alderman Bridges happening to drop the expression "splendid hospitality," Sir James, to the great amusement of the Court, hastily rose to assure the worthy Alderman there were no such words in his motion of thanks. _ His Cato Lordship must surely bare forgotten these circum stances when he delivered his philippic against the members of the Common Council ; or did he imagine that the proceed ings in the Court of Aldermen were profound secrets? Yesterday, by order of the Right Honourable the LORD Mayon, the prisoners in ?Negate, Ludgate . , and the Consp tav,each received one pouod ammo. one pint of porter, and a three halfpenny loaf, in addition to the iucreased allowance of bread, meat, and coals given them by the City of Lon- London. R .—On Tuesday night some villain broke into the couch house Intoning to Joem [clews's, Esq. of Blooms bury-square, which is in Threc Cup-yard, Bedford-row, and stole the coachman's great coat, and two saleable plate glasses out of the coach windows. Information being given to Commas RUUD, one of the Bow-street day patrol, be suc ceeded in apprehending yesterday a lad named RR/icons, on suspicion of being concerned in the rubbery, and he remains in custody for examination. One evening lately, a man went into a house in Chapel street, pretending ho wanted to purchase bread, when being directed to a shop in the neighbourhood, by a woman who happened to be with the landlady, ho went away. A short time after, however, the fellow having, nu doubt, watched the departure of this casual visitor, returned to the house, where tho mother of the family was alone, who had just time to observe him near her, and that he was followed by two as sociates, when the villain rushed upon her, and seizing the pour woman, in ao unsuccessful attempt to throw her on the lire, precipitated lire with great violence on the hearth, threatening her with immediate destruction if she did net de liver up the key of her husband's repositories, and that s ith out giving any alarm. The accomplishment of the base and nefarious purpose, seemingly so much in his power, was, however, suddenly defeated by the fidelity of a favourite do mestic, a bitch; who, on seeing the alarming situation of her mistress, made a furious attack upon the assailant, and after a long struggle compelled him to Ily, leaving very bloody ves tiges of the severity of the conten t. Nor did the infuriated animal quit the aggressor until she again attacked him in the street, bringing him to tho ground, and treating him very roughly; his worthless associates, who had declined sharing in this part of the business, having previously disappeared.— It is painful to add, that the shock occasioned by this brutal outrage brought on premature ham's,. on the woman, who was delivered two days after of a child, which died in three days.—This daring and unfeeling ruffian is deser,hyd as a were dressed man, about the tallest of the middle size, and of ra• ther genteel appearance.—Ahrrdeesi Chronicle. SHOCKING OCCU RR ERCE.—On Thursday last David Cletor, a private belonging to a detachment of the 3d Dragoon Guards, now stationed here, put a period to his exist ent. at Hexbiun. The following are the circumstances attending this melancholy transaction :—lt appears that Clator had lately married a young woman in this city, to whom he was passionate ly attached; she, however, both before and after marriage, had been is the habit of corresponding with am:vibes. man, in the neigh bourhood of Carlisle. This circumstance, it is believed, coming to the knowledge of Clator, he became extremely jealous, and greatly disturbed in mind; kis wife, in the urcan time, having availed herself of the protection of her mother, who resided at Hexham, went to live with her, declaring that she could mu longer remake with her busbaNd. Clator now deter Mined to proceed to Hexham, and demand his wife, with a fixed resolution, as we understand, io case of refusal, to shoot either her or himself, or both; with which intent he carried with him two loaded pistils. On arriving at her mother's, he met with the refusal which he had anticipated, his wife resolutely persisting in having nu further communication with him. His leave of absence being now expired, and being in • state of the utmost distraction of mind at his wife's conduct, he immediately destroyed himself with one of the pistols which he had. The result of the Coroner's In quest had not arrived when this paper a as put to prem.—Carlisle JosirsiM. Thursday morning last two men left a box at SIMPSON'S coach-office, Rochester, to be forwarded to London. Mr. A LDERSLY, of Strood, who was present at the time, having before observed the same persons at Strood, suspected something improper, and called in an exciseman, who was passing, and com municated his suspicions that the box contained con traband goods ; it was accordingly opened, when the body of a man was exposed to view. The circum stance being made known many persons soon collected round the office, and one of them thought it was the body of his father, who had been buried in Strood church-yard on the preceding day. It was accordingly taken to Rochester workhouse, when it proved to be the body of Wm. HERRINGTON, an aged man, many years servant to the late Mr. BoolluesT, of Strood. The body was re-interred on Friday, the grave having been deepened to ten feet. Three men suspected of the robbery, were in the meantime taken into custody, at Gravesend. They were travelling in a light cart, with a good horse, and had tools, such as a spade and pickaxe, and a wrapper similar to the one the body was shrowded in. They underwent an examina tion on Friday, at Rochester, and were remanded.— , KeatisA Gazette. bN EDUCATION. [FROM SIMONS OF Tel lay. 6. J. 20LLMOPFU—Tim. LAM FOON TIRO • To other general rules we will subjoin a few tint shall more especially relate to the chief particula r vir tues to which children and young persons should b e trained up, by those whose duty it is to form thee hearts or their moral characters. The first of these is this :—lnure them, from their earliest infancy, to obedience and submission. H e that his not letirat this in his childhood and yo ut h is unhappy for the rest of hie life. All of us are occasionally brought into situations where it is necessary for us to submit, where we must co m pl y if we would , not run counter to our duties, or bri ng harm upon ourselves and others. Either we must avoid human society altogether, renounce all it s advantages and pleasures, and take up our abod e i n the holes of the rock or the dens of the forest ; or we must sacrifice a part of our natural liberty to the security and quiet enjoyment of the rest, subject mu. selves to certain restraints, and alternately yield to each other. But how unfit must he be for this, who has for ten, fifteen, or a greater number of years, unmolestedly followed his own inclinations, who has suffered no opposition, whose wishes for every thing he saw were so many commands uniformly submitted to by the blind indulgence of his parents and tutors, and who now, all at once must adopt a quite different course of action. The time is arrived when he must make his entrance into the world. At every step he meets with obstructions. His wishes are scarcely no ticed, while he expects to see all men running to fulfil them. They much rather oppose his desires and aims. His vanity and arrogance will be offended one while in this manner, and, then in another; but the disease is too inveterate to admit of a cure. Unfortunate man ! Deplorable victim of extreme fondness and indulgence ! How often, when Once thou comest to reflection, how often wilt thou lament this cruel tenderness! How often wilt thou wish that thy pa rents, thy preceptors, had exerted their proper au thority over thee, and taught thee obedience ! 0, ye parents ! would you spare your children these sighs, these complaints, and the miseries that extort them, inure them to discipline ; I say to discipline, for by precept and exhortation alone you will never sue- Iceed—exercise them in obedience and submission. Allow yourselves to be easily prevailed on ; fre quently go before their requests when they ask for things innocent and good; and shew them by facts how much you have their real satisfac tion and their real happiness at heart ; but newer should they obtain any thing from you by force—never yield to their impetuosity or clamour; let not the tears of stubbornness melt you to an ill-timed compas sion. Enjoin them nothing without mature delibera tion, without sufficient reason; let the justice, the equity, the indulgence that is due to their age and weakness, be the rule of all your commands; but when once you have delivered them, never think of a repeal, but absolutely insist on the most punctual and unreserved compliance ; and let neither head long opposition, nor artful flattery, move you to the revocation of them. Beware, however, of issuing too many, or two different orders at once. You will thereby lay an insupportable yoke on their necks, and in some measure compel them to disobe dience ; or you will make timid vassals of them, im patiently waiting for the moment when they may mis use their freedom without reproof or observation. Leave, therefore, to their option whatever is in itself indifferent and can have no prejudicial influence on. their morals ; and be content sometimes in furnishing them with useful suggestions and reasons by which they may determine for themselves. Imitate herein the Great Lawgiver of the universe. Consider how much He has left to our free agency, and how greatly he has thus facilitated our obedience to his commands! The neglect of this rule is the principal cause why so few children learn. If we will be always treapingcom tnand upon command, and regulate, as it were, t every posture, every word, every l oo k, ever y mot io n ofthe child or the youth by law, we ourselves cannot be at tentive to all these commands, and must of necessity pass over many transgressions of our laws in silence : and by this means the rest of our laws and ordinances, even the weightest of them, lose their force, and dis obedience becomes habitual.
