Yesterday, a Jew boy, whose (tame we could not learn, was brought before the I.osei Maros, by Tipper, that meritorious City Officer, as a notorious thief and pickpocket.

He had not been there lung, when the Prisoner at the bar ran past him in a very great hurry. anJ going to the corner of Birchin-lane, called out to a friend of his, another notorious pickpocket, and after conversing with him fee some rime, they both ran down Birehinlane. The (Meer knew if they once saw him they would make thebrescape, so he endeavoured to get up to them, by posting himself behind a hackney-coach ; they however observed him and made off. In about half an hour after, he met the Prisoner in Lombard -street, and took him into custody as a rogue and a vagabond. The Officee then said be wished his Lordship would re mand the Prisoner for a few days, as, from informa tion he had, he would be able to bring a very serious charge against him. 'The Prisoner, in his defence, said, he was a sugar merchant, and that it was his intention, on the even. ing of the day he was arresteJ, to set off for Graves end, where his father lived. llie Lusts M•voit, on again inqiiiring, being satisfied of the bad charafter of the Prisoner, re manded him for a few days, Philip Levi, Samuel Moses, (loges!, Itenjaneiss, and another Jew boy, all under the age of ten years, were put to the bar on a charge of being notorious pickpockets. The °dicers who apprehended them, stated, that the boys were shoe-string merchants, and were com• plained of by several reveciable inhaflitants, for being constantly in the habit of stealing pocket hannkershiefs, and being concerned in all kinds of roguery. No person appearing against them, how ever, they were discharged, after having received an admonition from the Loan Mayon, to condt.et themselves with more propriety. One of the boys could not speak a word of English, being only eight days in the country. A man, named Reddy, was charged with violently assaulting Dr. Johnston, a respedable physician in the city. The Complainant stated, that the day before he saw the Prisoner is the street, beasjos a woman in the most brutal simmem. The woman had a child in her arms, and the Primmer having knocked her do- rs over the cillokiwes im ert so repeat his blows. whew the to him not to murder the weeme a . illi e llit ibiaage then timed round, and knocked Dr. Mimeo down, at the-same rime tell ing him, be should not resist him from chastising bid wife. , The Loa, Mares ordered the Prisoner to 64 sureties for lie appearance m the sess Leaden Sessions.

'Ow-ST WHIT. On Monday evening, a respeßable tradesinee of Ipswich, made application to Mr. Roan, the Sit ting Magistrate. requesting his assistance in regain ing his daughter, who had sloped frog; bins on Fri. day last, with as Qfficer belonging to the Ith Light Dragoons. Mr. Reap immedia t ely dispatched Anthony, with the father and uncle, and from some information which they had received, they went to a house in Mace's -street, Hanover-square, where they found her alone, in bed. The Officer desired her to get up, with which she very unwillingly com plied. The Officer then delivered herup to her father and uncle, who received her very cordially, and the seat day they went out of town, putting her in the coach, and riding in a singleshorse chaise, at a con siderable distance behind. When the coach bad got *few miles out of town, it stopped at a hone to water the horses, where the young lady got out, and made her escape from the back part of the house ; it Wai some time before the father and uncle came up to the coach, and until then the young lady , was sot Milled. The father and uncle immediately returned to town, and went to the Office again, whin Mr. Roan seat Pearkes with them. who found her in bed, at the same house, in Prince's-greet ; the OtfiCEE was almost obliged to pull her out of bed ; she, however, got up, and was again delivered to her relations; they all three set oat yesterday morn ing together, in a coach. She is about seventeen years of age, tall. and a very elegant figure. On Tuesday, Wi/liong Kurz was brought before Mr. READ, charged with picking the pocket of Mr. George Pritchard, in the Strand. Mr. Pritchard stated, that as he was coming along the Strand, somebody walked close behind him. Si as to touch his heels, when Mr. Johnson, a Gentlzman who happened to be passing at the time, said, i,r, your pocket is picked," on which he turned round, and saw the Prisoner running full speed, and throw a handkerchief under a cart.

A person has arrived from Wales, who is enabled to give some account of Miss DAVIS, whose treat ment is before the public. It appears that the ac count she gave of haul( and her family before the Magistrates, is cornet. Her father and mother reside 03 the estate of Lord CAW3OII, in Pembroke.. shire, as also several of her relations, who are peo. ple of great respettability. Letters were written to her friends from Marlborough-street Office on Mon day, and as the address is corned, it is probable that a day or two will develop. this mysterious brisiness. A battle was taught. yesterday, at Barnham Meadows, near Cranford, Bucks, between Theekett, a farmer, from Berks. and awed, a miner, from below Birmingham, for 100 guineas. The coni batauts were powerful men, of about five feet ten inches in stature s and well made. After a severe battle of one hour, and 51 rounds, the miner was vs. daserseined, and vietory declared in favour of the farmer.

Fearing nothing from one who had no friend to ;erotica her, they took advantage of her forlorn con ,tion, and in the most wanton and cruel manner threw her on head—her neck was broken—and she died on the spot, where the body remained sometime.
