Three boors lecture dark 1.0 -ow the back window open ; soon after nine o'clor is lie .as alarmed by bis servant. who said that somebody was up stairs. He called out from the yard, and heard somebody whistle trona without the wall, and at the mine time cell out " Hover." On looking up towarda the window he saw a strange Ince, and the mail instantly jumped not of the woolow, which was nine fret irons the ground. He grasped at this man, but he was res cued from his grasp by accomplices. who rushed in at the time. lie called oor "Stop thief!" and " Murder'!" and "was sure that Corbett was one of the parties; sodas Corbett ran away he heard silver • gioglirig iu his pocket ; he, however, succeeded ul timately in seizing Purdoe, who struggled hard to get away ; but lie dragged him into the house, end committed him to a constable's hands. Purdon said nothing while in the house. On going stairs he found that his money-box was broken open. mod the money gone tneutioned in the indictment. wench he had in reserve to make his monthly pay ment to his brewer. Ile knew the Prisoners, who lived In his neighbourhood, and who itad often seen . Flies pay the brewer's clerk. He news recovered possession of his motley. The Prisoners in the course set the night were cuustantly in sod out of the tap room. In his cross-egaminstion he said that in the pur suit he was quite close to the Prisoners, and could sot mistake the persons of the Corbett*. He al war settled with his brewer ouce in every loom Tomah. Elizabeth Preston lived opposite to the Prosecu tor, and knew the persons of the Prisoners. She saw Frank Purdon in the back-yard of Mr. Crawley, with three or four men; and ditectly after she heard the cry of "Stop thief !" She picked up a hat by the gateway, and she sow Mr. Crawley's back-win now open when the alarm was given. Sersh Preston, sister to the preceding witness, proved she saw Frank Pardon on the night iu question moving with d ladder towards Mr. Craw ley's window, and through the gateway. She saw two other *taro walking about the yard at the same time. Mary Wood said, she lived in Blue Anchor-yard. She heard Mr. Crawley call out, ". Stop thief !" and then sate Billy Watson running up the yard, and heard money gingling in his pocket. By the sound she thought there was a great deal of it. She mentioned Wittsou'e name as being the same person on the some night. Higgiosnn, a bricklayer's as►istant, who resided near the spot, said, he saw William and Jo seph Watson running away when the cry of "Stop thief!" wits he4rd. He overhenrd %Villiam soy to Jo seph, " Run it again ;" and et that moineut Craw ley was pursuing them. Elegoor Britton, a labourer's wife, saw Purdon situ! W. Watson close to Mr. Crawley's yard on the night in question ; they appeared "watching." She soon after heard Crawley calling oat "Stop thief !" and raw Purdue caught by him and taken into the house. Catherine Macrae, who olio lived in the neigh bourhood, identified Joseph Watson as being one of the imriy who was in Mr. Crawley's yard on the wet of the . robbery, and when the alarm *as given. - For the defence, an ineffectual attempt was snide to prove that Wm. Watson did nut stir out tit the tap-room during the evening. The RECORDER summed up the evidence to the Jury, who retired for sbrfut ten minutes, and on their return found all the Prisoners Guifry (except John Watson) of stealing goods to the value of . . 40e. in the dw . elling-house. - The COMMON SENJCANT addressed the convicts, end advised them to make op their minds to pre pare for the last extremity of the law. They could impe for no mercy. under all the ci►cumstances of the case. Their case would be reported to his Majesty, and upoo the royal consideration of it would depend the result; but, in the mean time, they ought to entertain no hopes of mercy. The Prisoner Purdon said, be wits no more con cerned in the robbery than his Saviour. The COMMON SERJEANT then ordered a man named Ifoight/y, who had been milled as a witness on behalf of our of the pritioners, to be committed fur perjury. • Knightly protested that he had told truth ; but he was immediately taken into comedy, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute him upon an indictment of perjury. The COMMON SELMAN'? observed, that the pro aectvion was extremely useful. and would. no doubt, have a good effect in the neighbourhood where the rubbery was committed. HORSE CHAVNTING. G. Barber, • person of dashing rappearence, and W. Coo irked, who was described as being his ser vant, were indicted for • conspirecy to defraud the Rev. William I.re in the sale of two horses. The facts of the car were as follow :—Au advertisement appeared in new of the papers, announcing for isle two horses. which were described as possessing the meat complete quab6catturis for any sod every use, and as tore property of. sti of f icer in the army, who was going •broad. with u reference to a stable in Whitefriars„ where they were kept. The Rev. Mr. Lee. upon seeing this advertisement. repaired to the place mentioned, where lie saw Goddard, who represented himself as the groo►u of the other ',roomier, Barber. whom he described as being a Crown in the Emoskilleso dragoons. The gloom globe • hassling description of the bones, and of their distinguishes' fears when out with Lord Mid. Melon's hound•. and seemed to have • most of tretionate stischtnrat to them, and feelingly Is uiented that his master was about to part with them, as they were a rare acquisition to airy man. While this converse i n was pawing between the groom and the Her, Mr. Lee, the sob distant eteptisin Barber entered the stable, and .reiletated all the excellent quslitses of the horses, and, in consoquence of an observation respecting a mirk oo the knee of one of them, talked loudly of his honour as au officer rad a gentl.inan, an d imme diately silenced Mr. Lee's scruples, by offering a warranty in writing. The price of 100 guinea* was immediately agreed upon, and a deposit of V. was at mace paid by the Rev. Mr. Lee, who promised to call the twit day to complete the payment. lie accordingly fulfilled his promise, and retired with th e Captain to a neighbouring cuffee-hosse to pay the balance, when the Captain spoke so highly of the huneity and qualifications of his groom, that the Rev. My. Lee, supposing he would have as great a bargain in the groom as the horses, agreed to take him into his service, as the Captain professed to here no further occasion for the valuable services of such a servissit, now that lie had disposed of the horses, and the groom went sway, as it were, to change his stable dress, to accompany Mr. Lee home with the •horses. Being gone some time, Captain Barber, said lie would go and hasten his return; but the Rev. Mr. Lee, after waiting iu vsiti for either the Captain or grown, went to the stable in search of them, when he found the door fastened, but the horses waiting outside, under the care of a third person, whom he had never seen before...-. Judging that something wrung had taken place, he hastened to stop the payment of the cheque on Coutts's bank he had just before given Barber; but he was too late, fur the parties, who had been more on the alert, had received cash for tit, cheque. The horsed. it ippeared, were not worth 15!. The Prisoners were found Geary; bat a question was reserved tor the twelve Judges upou the con struction of the fraud. MIDDLBSICX SgSSIONS. CLEamwELL, SATURDAY, SIIPTEDIBIR 91. John Arlen, William Jones, George Haymow, and Gecirge Fennell, were indicted for unlawfully assembling and conspiring together, with the Mien tioa of committing an abominable offence, in the house No. 5, Weymouth-street, St. Mary-le-boor, belonging to a Mr. Currie, on the 15th of July last. It is not possible for us to enter into the detail of this case. Their infamous practices were discovered by • young OHM who had lately arrived from the country, and who had been enticed by Sugdcn to sleep with him in Weymouth-street, tinder die pre tence of procuring him • situation. The young 01411 mentioned his suspicions to a friend, by whom he was introduced to Staples, of Mary-le-bone polies office, and he, with his assistants, secured the four w ri tches. The Rita Prisoners were instantly found Guilty. and were sentenced to two yetis' imprisonment earl, in the House of Correction, and the first and list three months of that time to be solitary confine ment. The moment they left the Court, in custody of the gaoler►, the reception they met with from the populace was such as they cannot easily forget, or even recover, for some time to come. CONSPIRACY ♦ND RIOT. George Porter, Hichard Blake, Samuel William son, Edward Wroy, James Hadley, iceberg Prie tey, Joseph Maxfield, Thomas themes, William Pickering, and Peter Haan, were indicted for a riot and conspiracy, iu the parish of St. Mary, Islington, ou the 26th day of July last. The Prisoners were employed by Messrs. Pick ford in navigating their boats on the Regent's Canal. On the day mentioned, c2G boats were in readiness to convey a battalion of the guards on their way to Ireland. But the Prisoners, with others, refused to work themselves, surf by threats and vio lence prevented those who were well disposed from workiug, unless they ret cited an increase of wages. The Jury found them all bailey ; and the Court sentenced them to cations periods of impri sonment. An intelligent correspondent (a Wive or Susses), who has lately travelled through the eastern dis tricts of this county, represents the condition of t. greater part of the yeomanry as being truly deplorable. I-1e writes to us as follows:—" Al most daily, sales of live mid deed stock take place, and such is the scurcity of money, that, in many instances, they are literally given away. Ease, affluence, and plenty, which, seven or eight yeses since, so universally predominated among the Sussex yeomanry, have neatly disappeared, and pe uury. grumbling, mid discontent prevail in their stead. This alteration iu their circumstances has greatly operated upon their political opinions, and they new loudly dtsclaim against the men and mea sures which they formerly most strenuously and vehemently upheld."—( Brighton Herald.) Particular orders have been given to the two re giments of life gourds, and Oxford blues, Not to shore the sipper lip. The remains of the late venerable Dr. GAUNT urrr were removed from New College, Oxford, at right o'clock on Thursday morning, for interment at Bucktiell, in Oxfordshire. The Bishop of LON DON, and some •f his other relatives, attended on this solemn occasion. This venerable individual, whose death was occasioned by thulera motlngs, was for many years IVarden of New College. FATAL DUEL.—Extract of a letter from the Island of Nevis, August 1 A fatal duel was lately fought in this island between WA 1.T69. MAY. NAND, Esq. the President, and JOHN HIGGINS, Esq. youngest sou of one of our principal planters. Some mittunderstandlitg having token place between the President und the elder Mr. HIGGINS, on their meeting to the street. worm words passed between them, and the former applied to the latter soute very arvere epithets. In consequence. his son. Mr. J. HIGGINS, addressed a remonstrance to the Presi dent, couched, it is understood, in very temperate language. The President, is, reply, refused to re tract the offensive epithets he bad applied to the father, but offered to give the son a meeting. The consequence was a duel; the parties fired together, sod the President's shot uuliappily took t ffect ; the ball entered above the right hip, passed through the body, and came out at the upper part of the left thigh. Mr. HIGGINS lived about an hour and • half after receiving the fatal wontsd ; he was a young moo of a most amiable couracier, and bad been married only about seven manilla." Poi wk. SOW•STRBIT. ROBBERY AT HOUNSLOW. Or Saturday Aye men, named Fea►byr, fl'lsiffus, Currie, Rotten, and Lesley, were brought op to undergo • second exatnioniion, on suspicion of having robbed the house of Mr. Curtis, the landlord of the White Bear publie.house, at lionnOow, of fifteen sovereigns, twenty pounds in bank notes, three several articles of plate, and other property, on the night of the IBth instant. The grounds of amenitiesu were these:— On the day in question, which was the second of the Eg ham races, Fee by sad Whitton dined at the White Bear, in their way down to the course. They were in a gig. They had frequented the boose before, and were known. They promised to call on their return; and accordingly, in the evening, between nine and ten u'clock, did return, and were • apparently smompaaled by seven other men in three girt, and a man on horseback. The whole party alighted and went into the indoor, where they called fur pipes and drink, and were its and out of the room several times. They up. peered all to know each other. At length they all went away together. In about ten minutes after Mrs. Curtis went up to her bed-room, which site had locked a short time before, and bawd R had beer broken open, and the property already deactibed carried olf from • chest and drawers in which it had bees, deposited. She instantly gave an alarm, and Mr. Cook, the High Constable of Hounslow, having bee., ap. prized of the circumstance, set off in his chaise in pursuit. He succeeded, in coojuartion with one of the horse patrol, in stopping three of the gigs, in which were the Prisoner and • man of the name of White, at Kensington. The men were all searched, but nothing auspicious' was found in their possession. Mr. Cook did not understand that there was s fourth gig, nor was the man on horseback mentioned, and thus some of the party escaped. White also, in the cover of the night, succeeded in eluding the vigilance of his guard, and likewise escaped: Three were the whole of the circum stances implicating the Prisoners, two of whom were well known at the office. They were all distinctly sworn to as having been at the White Bear together. Mr. Harmer, who attended for the Prisoners, submitted that the evidence educed was not sufficient to warrant their det►ntion. Sir Richard Biroie and Mr. Halls, however, thought other wire, sad thry were remanded fur further examination. Upon the spot where two of the Prisoners were at Kensington, a small single-case metal gilt watch, with dark blue ribbon, seal, and key, was ruisitd, which, it is suspected, °lie of them threw sway to avoid detection. It was, probably, part of the spoil taken on the race-course. It Dow remains at this office fur inspection. UNION-HALT.. COMBINATION AMONGST THE SHIP CAULKERS Os Saturday Richard Smith, William Tacker, William Reeler, Joliette'. Reeves, Wm. Thomas, Thomas Masters, William Gregory, S ..nwel Trotter, and John Watson, ship wright' and caulkers, is the employment of Messrs. Hawke. and Carr, shiolsoilders, Rotherbithe, were charged by them with asilairfally combining together, and abveutiog them selves from their service. The isformation against the ac cessed persous was laid under the Statute of 6 Gee. 111. cap. 45, see. 4. It stated " that on or about the 9th Sep tember instant, the mid parties above mentioned, did con tract with the Prosecutors to finish the caulking of a certain vessel, and that they hare trot regarded the statute in that case roads and provided, bat have unlawfully and wil fully absented themselves from the said service, before the term of the said contract woe completed, sod have left the said work unfinished, to the great damage of their master, against his will," ice. The particulars of this case are as follow :—The Defendants were employed by Mr. Mewls Johnson, sec, the foreman of the Prosecutors, to execute • quantity of caulking to • vessel then I. their dock sunder repair, which they completed, bowleg worked floss that time to the following Saturday. Oa the morning of that day (September 14) the Defendants, as usual, went to the Prosecutor's yard, sad the foreman proceeded to set out the quantity of work fur each isdividual to do by measure meat, wises one of them (W. Gregory) observed that the measurement then taken, and also the measurement of the work done on the Saturday preceding, could sot be coerces ; awl asked the foremast's son if he kuew the measurement of the wail' ? He replied, styen feet six iithes. Gregory re plied, that it was eight feet two, and the work was re. measured by Moses Johnson ' the foreman, hobo Johnson, hi. sun, and Gregory, the De fendant, sod was Nand to ex ceed coosiderably the Ant measurement. The foreman is sisted on the work being done by the Defendants at the first measurement, which they positively refused to accede to, and took lip their tools, and were about to leave the premises in a body; they were, however, not permitted to take their tools sway, though some of them, by stealth, got them off the premises. The Defeadasts applied to, Mr. Hawke", the chief partner. and begged of him to consider thematter in dispute, but be refused, and declared that he should leave it entirely to his foreman. The Defendants thew left the pre. noises, and the eonsequeuce was, that the Prosecutors were in claimer of having a vessel thrown upon their bands, which they lied contracted to get completed at is certain period, sod which might operate almost to the ruts of the Prosecutors. Mr. Swabey and Mr. Chambers were the Magistrates on the beuch. Mr. Alley appeared on the part of the prosecu tion, and Mr. Andrews for the Prisoners. ' Mr. Alley said, that be was instructed to attend, on the part of Moors. Hawke' and Cur, to prefer a complaint against the Primmer". Since he had entered the office, he lied conferred with Mr. Andrews, on the part of tbe Defend ants, and he was happy that they now entertained some this, like a proper sense of the impropriety of their con duct. The extent of mischief that might be dime by work men to their employers by a sudden combination, could not be eslealsted ; it might prove the utter ruin of them ; soil the law had wisely euseteJ serious penalties to such offences. The contrition expressed on the part of the men, sect their expressed wish to go to their work, sad their wiser tion of not hearing any ill will towards their employers, but, on the contrary, that they bore towards them the 'frostiest feelings of regsrd, induced him to believe that without pro ceedisig further in the peossentios, all that bad occurred might be set to rights. Mr. Andrews said, on the part of the met, they felt no disrespect towards their maxim; there hod bees a misunder standing, but they bad sea idea of doing any injury to their employers; the men only wished a fair ailisessurement of their work, and hail the masters condescended to have inter paned between the foreman and the men, the latter would have li ft their work. _ _ Mr. Chambers—" What: Mr. Andrews, are men to Ay off, and leave their work, because a mostioderstaeding takes place between them loud the ((neaten The master may be ruined by having the contract throwu upon his hands, in con. sequence u! betel unable to finish it by the time he has agreed; and I can ti II the Defeuslania, that they are nut only subjected to imprisonment *lnch the Act, uuder which the present lisforenslioSi is laid, iufitets (three mouths), but the Prosecutors have the power besides to indict them for a con apir•ey, which would be visited with severity." Mr. Andrews said, that the men were willing to go to work, end he bad no doubt hot every thing would be pro perly adjusted between them and the Promoters; mud if the Magistrat►s would allow the warrant, upon which the pities were apprehended, to stand ever sill a future day, an ail :loge meal in the interim would, be bad no doubt, take plate, mud then the w t might be discharged. Mr. Chambers said, that he should not let the wsr,ant bang over the Prisoners• beads, ►e should discharge and ir t bey did dot go to their work another warrant could be granted. Mr. Andrews would undertake to say the inns ooly re. qulred their work to be fairly measured, and they would be most happy to continue their employmeet. The Defendints, after being reprimanded by Mr. Swabey, we►e discharged, upon an uudentmnding that they were to go to work and complete their contract, mid be allowed the full adenteaterement. Last week, at Spaxion, in Somersetshire, three ngud perilous. viz. JOHN WILLIS. aged 86, WIL. LIAM COLIMAN. aged 80, and BETTY THOMai, aged 80, fell dowu suddenly, the same duy, and died. They were all the day before enjoying their %mud good health. *... FATAL I'UCIiISTie'C'eNiESi. Oa Thursday, and, by adjueremeot, es Friday, an in. enlsition was held at the Boar mood Greve tams., at 1,..pt. ford, before the Coroeer fur Kent, on the body of Michael Higgins, aged twenty , whose death ems ureasineed by receiving certain blows w a pegiliatie eseweistsr. The Jory took a view of the body of the deceased, after which the following croleure was submitied to their consideration : The fir.t %mamas was a man of respectable app►araare, who said that he was • *mesa. in the family uf Damsel Whittle Harvey, Esti , of Loam-Mil 11111 House. Greenwich, and @lairds's follows evening. abort si• o'clock, I saw the deceased, gad a young man named Jane% wish a crowd of spectators, go into a field to fight a pitched battle. A Mug was formed, as is esnal us such °remise% far the parties is fight in. The deceased stood at mune from the crowd, sad appeared relecinnt to commence Ilse fight; be was railed by his party to eater the ruse; Jams immediately leaped into the Film, rod ifs ew asp his hut. am ■ •igsel that he wee reedy to commence the combat. The de. teased Men entered the ring sad stripped. Jo..es also stripped, and they Amok hands. Each of the rosehatanig were attended by a second, and a person stood with a watch to keep the time. As sums as the parties shook bands, they put themselves jab fighting atilt lob a, and etchanard The deceased had the best of the battle charier the three fits• round+. In the fourth mewl, Jones hit the decMiseil a very severcblaw nn the temple, which sent hint staggeriog. "Ekey continued the fight for abseil a quarter of an boor; but after lite fourth round, it was all ar•us.t the deceased. Al the clime of the slush round, the d. ceased " I'll fight so more;" Jones was declared the coliquelye. Thiry shook hands AVM, uu the same matinee as slum they lire... the fight. Immidiately after they sbouk hand., the demote-it appeared very ill ; he could not stand, soon became quite insensible, and could not be deemed. lie was-carried off the ground to have medical assistauce reedited him. It was fair fizlit. The second witness, • resident of Deptford (*how name II is, fur certain reasons, considered unwise Su publish tad after the trial at Maidstone), stated sag al the DT:ford turnpike-gate on the morniog ofthe rise the fight took place. Jones was there, and he said he would ask Higgins (de. - cc:toed) when mad where he would fight him, in eonsequesice of some old gruda•e esistiug between thews. Higgins came up to the gate soon afterward., and Jams addressed him in these words:—" I understand you want to fight me?" Nig gles replied, . 4 Yes, and I will fight you this evening." No angry words look place further than what I have said; there was uo quarrel. They agreed to awl at the Deptford Bar at five o'clock on the smite day, and proceed from thence to fight. Between four and Ave its the emning Bruise came to the Bar according to his promise, • ith his second and some friends, and at Os o'clock Jones came from Greenwich, where he resided, with his setend and friends. They entered the toll-house, and Jones and Higgins agreed to go and fight - at that time in • field Nut far of, for lire shiliongs mid!. They each of them pet their stakes auto my hands, and then went to the field, marl commenced fighting. They fought for about • quarter of an hour. when the deceased esrloniral, " I will have no morn of it." He abets looked very ill, and snort became perfectly insensible. He was carried to the Bricklayers Arnis,ausl from thence to the Disponsary.bouse, a•sr afterwards to his mother's, where her:lined. adjournment was then agreed to by the Co roner sod Jury to the next day, to bring evidence forward of the amines of the seconds in the fight, sad to obtain surgical evidence of the precise rause of the deceased's death. Or Friday the Jury re assembled, and the following addi tional evidence was received : The last wits's. ots the first day. inquiry was again rite. mined. He mated, that the seconds at the fight were a man named Hillary, and another Denied Twine. He knew them, because they were the only persona also interfired is ptckiag up the parties when they fell, and who directed them during the light. Witness said ►e thought it we. a fair stand up fight ; each party had fair play ; they struck each other as bard as they could. Mr. Juba Atkiar, surgeon, of Vision street, Deptford, sworn was called to see the sl.ce..sest after death, and was requested to examine into the canse of has diseolotion.— I opened the head, sod u• removing that part called the ealoariatts, nothing traumata, appeared; but au dishlisse the dttra water, beta era the mrmbren• a of the pia water, I otorteed • euusidesable quantity of coagulated blued ; and which, with staotlwr frowsty biased in saddler part of She brain, iu sorinnut about our owner, mast hers been produced by a rapture, and its pressure on the rheas Dees. signed death.

The Coroner summed up the evidence, and was glad that, by the adpurament, the names of the accusal' bad been obtained ; and it was pretty (dimly ascertained My the eviskuce of the surgeon, that the plume awl'. death was occasioned by blues received in the fight. It was al. most unaecessary fur hint to inform the !miry, that pitched battles were unlawful spores, said that every one concermd is them were liable to he trued fur murder if they stood by aiding and abetting while one of the pasties was beaten to death. In this ca►e two young mess, the eldest only twenty years of age, fur a small suns of money, hod spend to fight, till une of them was so disabled nit slot so he able to stand up any longer; and daring the combat the parties nut oily struck each usher with all the furor they were able, but watchesl their opportunity of striking their uppoiseut iu the most dangerous parts of the body. Such brutal practices ought to be put as end to, aid he bad no daubs the Jury, by their verdict, would prove themselves of t h e same upinto•i.
