VS 77' TUNBRIDCX WELLS, Saes. 9. This place continues very full ; there is a flatter ing prospet of its remaining so until the end of Oc tober. We have had a great change in our com pany, but the departdres have been amply made up by the arrivals : not a day passes but brings us some nobie or fashionable family ; among wham are, the Earl and Countess of Tankerville, Viscount and Vis countess Sidmouth, the Countess of Buckingham, Ladies J. Sinclair, C. Herbert, Earl and Countess Ilenmare, Lord Coleraine ; Messrs. Caulfield ' Wig gin, Morris , Nay, Barns, Murray, lane, Dr. He. birders. Pitt, Read, Minet, Greville, Glover, Mor ris, Miles, Hammond, Lieut.-Colonel Sharpe, Hensley, Lambert, De La Croix, Banks, kc. kc. Our 'theatre has commenced with great success, Mrs. Raker has added several good Performers to her company, whose attrat9ions command good houses. She intends to stay with us this year until November, and t!...sre is no doubt will have a very successful season. The fashionable ride is now to the various Hap gardens in the neighbourhood, and many a fair lady dyes her finger with the bitter gold, that she may truly say she has been a hop-picker. The Harvest is completely gathered, and in the finest order. The late rains have covered the mea dows with grass, and butter of course is extremely good and cheap. Oar Sportsmen return every day with their bags new filled with birds, and 'tis no uncommon thing for a young one to bring home two or three brace. Indeed every kind of game is extremely plentiful, and the pheasants rise from every hedge that a walker chance" to pass. welosesse It/IGLET, Sarr. e. Yesterday (Sunday) this magnificent place exhi bited the most delightftil scene. In order that th's day of rest should contribute to the happiness of the surrouading country, the Noble Proprietor ordered that the gates of the Park should he opened, and free admission given to every description of persons. His Lordship had provided a military band, which played in front of the colonnade, but it needed not this attraCtion to invite the multitude, which ap proached from every entrance, and which had a pe culiarly beautiful arid. Aboor four o'clock, the concourse of pecple was immense. NV hen the Prince. the Duke of Clarence; Mat quivand Marchioness of Hertford, with the rest of their lijoble Guests. ap peared in the )agony, under the grand Colonnade, the whole foirnieg a most interesting sight—to de scribe the joy that pervaded every mosotenance would be impossible. This happy scene lasted until half-past fiv'e o'clock, during which one could sally discover the great anxiety to approach their Prince, always observing the utmost respeft. At times one fc4t as if the press to gain a nearer view of their Royal Highnesses would shake' the very foundation of the edifice. Their Royal 1-lighnesses seemed remarkably cheerful, aria ple ; cl with the re diffent grouper , and encouraged, by tie conde mending and amiable manners, feelings which were sure to fill the bosom of every speCtator. The band continued to play all the evening. and I believe it their several was very la te ete2 but hese happ r y vig enisittohret greaached test quiet.

It was won by one Burn, of Somersetshire, who displayedmuch sci ence, strength, and amivity. The second prize, a silver laced hat and 10 guineas, was won by Slyne, of Wiltshire. Among the performers were Barn (vigor) and Wall, of Somersetshire, both celebrated for breaking heads ;• a Mr. Somerset, Slyne (the vigor), and Ellis, of Wiltshire. all equally famed in these parts for their skill in this capitol art. Three good players of Hants were much noticed. viz. damgni, Singleton, and Gamble. Mr. Cobbet, who has a place in the peighbourhood, attended, but his fame for breaking Priscian's head with a was so well established, no man would encounter him with a stick. The clay was remarkably fine, and the business exh'thited much excellent play. Not fewer than 500 pe.soni wire present. 'The number of carriages was considerable. We noticed in the list, that of the Marquis of Laisdown. The people of Hants are likely to become liberal patrons of this manly exercise. BRIGIIION. Stet 9.

St •ISSION.HOUSIS. COMMITMENT OF MR. DANIELS. At an early hoUr yesterday morning, it was ma de:lood in the city that this gentleman had arrived in town, in custody. Many persons, in consequence, attended at the LORD M•voa's Office, and the greatest anxiety prevailed there for some time. At one o'clock, the LORD MA voR took his seat in the public room, and in about half an hour after, the bar was ordered to, be cleared, and Yoseph Edhin Daniels was introduced there, in custody of Alyea, who apprehended him, and some of the City Offi cers. The Lord Mayor first addressed the Prisoner in the following words: "Mr. Daniels, you have only arrived in town this day, whop; you have not had an opportunity to consult with your friends, I would, therefore, be glad to know, whether you would wish to see any of them before your examination ?" Prisoner—" Certainly, my Lord, 1 have not had an opportunity of consulting ray friends, and there is nothing I would wish for sp much." The LOAD MAYOR then, Ater some conversation with the gentlemen around him, said, " It is very proper, and very natural, Mr. Daniels, that you should wish to see your friend*. and consult with them ; and I therefore wish to know from you when you would be prepared. so that you may be again brought up?"—Prisoner —As soon as your Lord ship pleases. Q. Would you to-morrow, or the day after ?-e. A. Any day, my Lord; it is quite indifferent to me. Q. Have you had any communication with your friends lately, so that you might be prepared sooner for your examination ?—A. I have not. Mr. G EDSON, the Attorney for the prosecution, here observed, that be understood Mr. Daniels had already written to some of his friends.—Prisoner— I have written, but have received nu answer. Again examined by the LOAD MAYOR. Q. Do you know whether your friends are in town ?---A. I cannot tell. Q. When did you write to them ?---A. Last night, from Barnet. I wrote to Mr. Elliston, and to Mr. Abraham Goldsmid, but I have not received any answer fromlthem. Q. Are those the friends you would wish to SC2 previously to your examination ? -4. Yes, my Lord. • The LORD MAYOR then asked, if it cculd be as certained whether these gentlemen were in tie.vn or not, and was answered by two or three gentlemen present, that they were. • Mr. Montefiore, the hock Broker who transaled the business, was t ired sworn on the Old Testansent, being a Jew, and examined by one of the Lord Mayor's principal Officers. Q. Do you know the P:lsoner at the bar f—A. I do. Q. Is he the same person mentioned iq the war rant ?—A. He is. The Loan MAY OR again addressed the Prisoner, and said—Are you certain, Mr. Daniels, that, you will be prepared to-morrow to undergo your exa mination ?—A. I trust I shell, my Lord ; you are the best judge. I don't know whether my friends arc in :OWIR or not. To this, the LORD MAYOR, after a short conversa tion with some of the gentlemen near him, replied —Your friends are in town, Sir, you will therefore Ilavesen opportunity of consulting deem this night, 16 that you may be brought up again to-morrow at ten o'clock.— l'he Prisoner bowed. repeating— At ten, my Lord. Mr. Daniels remained at the bar for a short time after this, while the warrant for his commitment Was preparing, and called liivett, the officer, over to him. After they had interchanged a few words iq private, Mr. Daniels addreaed the LORD M A VO R. and said : My Lord, with your permission, I should wish to remain until to-toot/ow in custody of MS. • Rl vett.—A. I do not think, .Sir, that can be al lowed. Q. If it could be done, my Lord, I would be extremely happy?---A. I am very sorry, Mr. Da oleic, but I cannot comply with your request. The Prisoner bowed, and retired in custody of the Pity flf§cers, by whom he was taken to Giltspue street t f .ompter. . Mr. Daniels is rattier below the middle size, lusty, Inn net fat ; his face full, his eyes and hair dark, hisfose acquiline, and his complexion sallow. He wore a black coat, black silk waistcoat, light co loured pantaloons, and half boots. During the time he stood at the bar, he kept kis right' arm in the breast of his coat, AS if he had received some injury iii his breast. An voice, in answering several of ti.e questions, was tremulous ; and he seemed through out very much affeeled and deeply irepressell witir a sense of his situation. Court was crowded in the extreme ; e en the place set apart for his Lordship was so full as to tartlet his view of the Prisoner. We observed among them Mr. Bish, and several Gentlemen from the /Stock Exchange. Riven returned from Lancaster yesterday se'n liight, where he had been after a man, answering the description of Dowels, to Liverpool, about five o'clock in the afternoon. •OD his arrival there, I.e learned that a boat has' arrived that morning from the Isle of Man, where he also learned, that a man had been arrested, answering the description of Da niels; and in confirmation, he saw a paragraph in a Liverpool Newspaper, mentioning the circumstance. Rivets went, in consequence, to the Editorof the Pa per, to make inquiry *hese he got his information. The Editor very Politely informed him; and there being no doubt of the faS, he engaged a pilot-boat to take him by the nest 'tide, for which he was obliged to pay 201. Hr set sail at two o'clock on Thursday atternoun, and arrived at the Isle of Man on Friday morning. He applied to Mr. Scott, who lied arrested Daniels, till some person came from London so identify him. Mr. Scott immeJi etely inewed Daniels to him,who WAS under the care of some ; he was identiCed by the Grevle man who IT AVCIItti with [liven. The Officer pro ceeded to search him. and found upon • his person about 1,50Q1. He asked Daniels where the re mainder was?—Daniels refused to tell. The Offi cer pressed him to tell, and told him het was detel ruined to find it oat. Daniels positively refuted; .• • lE. and Rivett commented searching his lodgings, whic'a he had hired of Mr. Cartwright, an apo thecary ; and after searching for a considerable time, he found a paper parcel sealed up, haunt: a corner cupboard, containing Bank Notes to the amount of about The Officer then applied to the Governor for his .pernission to take him away, who very readily consented, and they set sad about two o'clock- no Saturday morn ing. They arrived at Liverpool about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, at which time the shore was lined with speaators to see Daniels. Rivett setoff post that evening for London. Rivett and hi. companion, upon their row.) down from London to Liverpool. received intelligence, within ten miles of that town, of a man midi) , an swering the description of Daniels, whom they traced to the Liverpool Arms. The account which they there received of him confirmed them in the opinion that they were in the right track. They sere told the stranger had arrived from London, appeared very flush of money, and had changed his clothes far a new suit purchased there ; that after dinner he sent for the Captain of a vessel, with whom he hod a good deal of couvereation. re lative to a passage on board his vessel. They then made inquiry after the Captain, and having found out his place of resort at Liverpool, there learaed that the stranger and the Captain had set out post for Lancaster. To Lancaster they accord inglyproceed ed, and overtook the Captain and the Stranger, hut, to their great disappointment, discovered that the latter was not Daniels, and that they bad been upon a wrong scent. They accordingly traced back their steps to Liverpool, and there got a clue to him. through the medium of the Newspaper, as above stated. Upon their return the second time to Li verpool, with Daniels' in custody, they could not procure seats in the snail coach. It became a ques tion how they should proceed, as Daniels requested the indulgence of accompanying them, and tikat they would not :eave him in a prism behind. Mr. Rivett =tented, and a post chaise was engefed, in which they air three returned to Load*. Rtvett,,however, being afraid to travel in that planner with so much money, had the precaution. before they rat out, to cut the notea, and scud theta% , by post from Liver pool. • A publican named Walpole, who lives in Dark house-lane, and is one of those persons who are called Crimps, yesterday attended on summons be fore the Lotto Mayas, td lamer to the complaints of two seamen, whose trunks he had in his posses sion, refusing to deliver them until enormous fees were paid. '•• .• Hofnell, a foreign seaman in the service of the East India Company, first stateii, that the Defend..., ant cam* alongside his ship, at Long Reach, in a. boat. There was another person its the boat. who! seemed to be the owner of it, who agreed to take him and his hag up to London for a shilling. He • was accordingly landed at Limehouse t and when Ise ivas coming on snore, he paid the man a shit. Ityagi . itt . id was told by him that his bar would be dtpositc.l safely at the Green Man, in Darkhoirse lane, which was the house of the Defendant. When he called there the nest day, he asked for his hag ; but the pelendatat refused to restore it to him. on. Its. he-paid him half•a-guinea for the carriage of it. This lie refitted to do, and therefore applied to the Loan MAYOR. The Defendant being asked what he had to say in :tamer to this charge ? stated, that he had hired two boa.. at two guineas per day, for the purpose of bringing up seamen from the loriia iliips, and that not having entered into any agreement with Ifofoell, he thought half-a-guinea was a very mo derate charge for his passage, and for his eating and dri4king on board. Holnell, being then interrogated, positively de itied having ate or drank any thing all the time he was on. bond ; and the LORD Mayo; being in formed•that one shilling was the usual tare from Gravesend, ordered the Defendant to give up the bag instantly, on being paid one stilling. Timothy Mahony, a seaman, who bad lost his sight in the service of the East India Company ] then appeased, to complain of the same Defendant, foe demanding two guineas for hie assage from Long reach, and for the carnage of his ' trunks. His story wits similar to that told by the former araman, with this difference, that the poor man being blind, part of his property, which lie delivered into the care of the Defendant, could not be found. He also said, that he had offered to pay ;he Defendant a guinea, and to be at the loss of the things that were missing, ifile•Fnald give up the trunks ; but he positively re fused to give ;bens up for less than two guineas. 'the Lo.n AIAYOII asked Vs'alpole under woct pretence hg made such a demand ? He having made a defence something similar to the fotrner, hit Lord ship ordered hint to give up the trunks, on being paid two shillings for the man's passage, and eighteen-pence for shat he ha I ate and drank on board. MA ItLIDROUGH•STRIZT• Yesterday being the day appointed for the re-exa mination ht 0 Wlntal, Carttr, and Garr, the avenues to the office were blocked up sorbs time before the Prisoners were brought in.

It was at this house the Prisoners met to divide their booty. which was. done after a good deal of wrangling. A ten pound note, which was proved to have been amongst the sixty pounds stolen from the bureau, was changed by O'Don net, in the course of dividing the spoil, which note was produced before the Magistrate.
