" JOSEPH AIABERLY." To this letter Mr. Barnes replied : " Sir,—l have taken the earliest opportunity of laying be fore the Bishop your letter of the 12tc. The Bishop directs sac to say that the Duke of Somerset having stated his wish and purpose to endow the chapel, and to convey the same for consecration, the Bishop will license the chapel till that purpose can be carried fully into effect. The Bishop has further directed me that, having himself seen the chapel, he dis penses with the issuing of any previous commission of inquiry. It is only necessary, therefore, that the Duke should sign a petition to grant the license, and I will draw a form and send it to you, For this purpose you will be good enough to direct a plan of the chapel to be furnished, showing the ground plan and scaling, &c., and be good enough to give me the most concise statement possible as to the title—that the Duke is tenant in fee of what other estate.--1 am, &c., " RALPH BARNES." On receiving this letter, Mr. Maberly wrote, on the 224 01 Septeinber, as follows . ._. Sir,---I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour, which, with your request of a plan, &c:, I will immed'ately communicate to his Grace, and I doubt not that I shall be commissioned to return his Grace's thanks to the Bishop and yourself for your obliging attention. Iwrite,however, in consequence of some expressions in your letter, and to pre vent all possibility of any future misunderstanding, unlikely as it may be, to arise. 1 think that the communication of the Bishop's consent to license is accompanied by words from you, that, if unqualified and unexplained, would amount to an implied engagement on the part of the Duke, at all events, and under any circumstances, and with whatever incon veniences attended, still peremptorily, to endow and convey the chapel for consecration. As the Duke is a man who would be scrupulous to the letter in the performance of every iota of what he could be considered, either directly or by implication, to have engaged for, it becomes the more necessary for me to take care that his Grace does not lay himself under any obligation calculated, by any possibility, to bring him into a dilemma. It is his Grace's most serious and determined intention and wish to do his best, through the medium of the Church Commissioners or other wise, to procure the consecration of his chapel, and to make for it a permanent regular endowment of pro-er amount. "11th the expression of this intention the Bishop will, I doubt not, knowing his Grace's attachment to the Establish ment, feel I:atisfied and rest contented. But it is passible that there may be impediments, unlooked-for requisi- tions, objections made, interference with patronage, or the like, that may make it unadvisable, in the view of his Grace, or of any reasonable man, to proceed to th e conveyance for consecratio n , an d may rather induce his Grace to wish to wait till some further legislative regulations afford better facilities, or remove difficulties that may in the present state of the law exist. I mug, therefore, claim for his Grace a discretion in these matters beyond what your words convey. That the Bishop is content that the Duke should have this I do not doubt, nor do I think that you meant to imply to the eon• trary; but if you read again your words, I think you will find that the qualification is necessary which I have here taken the liberty to make. I will send you the plan, &e., as soon as I receive it, and shall be obliged by the form of the petition you propose to send me.-1 am, &c. "JOSEPH MABERLY." Mr. Barnes replied to Mr. Nlaberly Exeter, Sert. 25, 1832. " Sir,—l have consulted the Bishop upon your letter of the 22d. The Bishop's authority, as stated in my letter of the 10th, was founded correctly, his Lordship thinks, on the previous communication ; but the Bishop, on perusing your letter, authorises me to say that he is content to license the building on the declaration therein contained. I shall be glad to give every dispatch, to the business on your furnishing me with the matter mentioned in my former letter.—l am, ke. 4 ` ALPH BARNES." 'The Nobl e Earl Concluded by conte ß nding that the Duke of Somerset never had entered into any contract to endow the chami in question. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS said, that he had never beard of the difference which had arisen between the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter until he received a letter from the Bishop of Exeter on the subject. As he wished to occupy the attention of their Lordships for the shortest pos sible time, he should confine what he had to say to the fewest possible words, and therefore he s h ou ld p rocee d a t once t o l a y before them the letter which he had received from his Right Rev. 'Friend ec Bishopstowe, Aug. 1, 1846. My dear Lord,—Lord Radnor haviag informed me . that it is his intention to m b:in i : t f; , , e wiT o d ti, a e drEussion respecting a statement made by Lords o fh n isa th L e pe 2 t,,i 3 t d i9 o n f June last, on occasion of the presentation Lordship considers from the Rev. James Shore, which stattne n nt o considers as having cast an imputation of bad faith Duke of Somerset, I request you to ask for me the indul gence of the House (as was recently accorded to the Arch bishop of Dublin) in p erm itti ng me , i n t hi s letter to your Lordship, to state the reasons whi c h p revent me from attending in my place when the discussion shall come forward, Those reasons are stated in a letter which I wrote on the 28th ult. to Lord Radnor, a copy of which I request you to read to the Hou-e, as well as a copy of the letter to Lord Seymour, referred to in mine to Lord Radnor, and of Lord Seymour's answer to me, all of which I now enclose. I further request you to state to the House, after r ea di ng th at answer, that the newspaper transmitted by me was the W es t ern Ti mes, r 1 Saturday, the 25th ult. , that. it was put int o th e enve l ope in my preence by my solicitor, in his own offi ce ; that it was sealed by him , a nd put into the post-offi ce at Exeter by him ; tha t m y solicitor took the pre caution of marking the copy of the Western Times, so placed by him in the envelope, with my letter ad dressed to Lord Seymour ; and that he and his clerk declare, ant will be ready to testify, that neither of them ever had in his possession a Gloucester Journal, nor, to the beat of their recclleetion, ever saw one— that :t was, therefore, absolutely impossible that such a paper should have been inserted in the envelope before it was put into the post-office at Exeter. I will add, that I myself have not for many years had in my possession, nor even Iwo, 61oucester paper; that I could not, therefore, have transmitted such a paper to Lord Seymour. " I am, my dear Lord, yours most faithfully, " H. EXETER. LAND) BILL. The Earl of EGLINTON, after presenting a petition from Scotland against the Bill, said he must earnestly request the Government to pospone the Bill till next session. In the early part of the present session a deputation fram Scotland waited upon Sir R. Peel upon the subject of this Bill, and that Right Hon. Baronet promised to re-consider the measure before he pressed it forward. They had been in hopes, therefore, that when the present Government came into office, the Bill would I ave been postponed for the present, but it was not to be so; and the Bill had just come up to their Lordships' House from the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He, however, asked as a favour for Scotland, whose interests were bound up in this Bill, that it might be put off till next session. There were 18 joint-stock banks in Scotland, 5 have charters, and 13 have not. The 13 •banks which had not charters were equally safe with those which had. But the five which possessed charters, had certainly an advantage over the others, and the present Bill was for the purpose of ene ling the unehartered to become so. But if the) took advan tage of this Bill they would lose the power of lending money to their shareholders upon the security of their shares, a most impor tant advantage which the old chartered banks would still retain; besides their charter was only granted for a period of twenty years, and required that the accounts should be made up in a most invidious manner. A Bill for a similar purpose had been passed in the year 1844 for English banks, but there was only one bank that availed itself of the advantages which it conferred; and he had authority for stating that not one bank in Scotland would avail themselves of the powers granted by the Bill, in which he recognised the; principle of centralisation, which was such a favourite of Sir Robert Peel, and which he considered a most vicious principle. He could not conceive that those who adopted free trade prin ciples could countenance such a monopoly as the banks of Scotland. Under these circumstances he must earnestly beg her Majesty's Government would not allow the further con tinuance of this banking monopoly, or at all events postpone this Bill t ill another session. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he thought it would be improper at that late period of the session to urge on Government any measure which was not known to the public. But the present measure was not in that position. It was understood by the other House of Parliament, and the present Government had received a deputation from the chartered bankers of Scotland. Some of the Glasgow bankers had certainly opposed the measure. The bankers of Scotland, however, subsequently gave their acquiescence in the Bill 'the Earl of KINNAIRD regre'ted to hear that the Bill was to be pressed forward this session. It was not only a banker's question but a landlord's question. It was modi fied on one occasion before, and he understood that it would not be pressed forward without due notice being given. He knew, from what he had seen and heard, that the feeling expressed at county meetings was very much against it. The chartered banks were in favour of the Bill, and they were so because they knew that it would deprive many or all of the unchartered banks from the advantages which they them selves possessed. Earl GREY said that it would be better to postpone the discussion until they came to the second reading. If the Bill was to pass, it was important that it should do so with as little delay as possible.—( Hear.) He should, therefore, suggest that it should be made an order of the day, to be read a second time on Thursday, and the merits of the Bill then discussed. He should then he able to show his Noble Friend that there were reasons for passing the Bill of which he (the Earl of Kinnaird) was not aware. The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday. IRISH MARRIAGE ACT. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the Amended Irish Marriage Act was read a second time. ARGYLL CANAL BILL. Upon the third reading of this Bill being moved The Earl of WICKLOW proposed as an amendment, that it be recommitted on the ground of the Committee tilt having entertained the petition of certain shareholders against the Bill. After a few words from Lams Redesdale, Beaumont, Shaftshury, Campbell, and Monteagle, the Bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES BILL. After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and the Earl of RADNOR, the several clauses of the Public Baths and Washhouses Bill went through Committee. The report was brought up and ordered to be received to-morrow. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY (AMENDMENT AND BRANCHES). The report upon this Bill was brought up and received. POOR REMOVAL BILL. Lcrd GREY gave notice that on Thursday next, he would move the second reading of the Poor Removal Bill. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned until Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 4. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. SECOND READINGS. Booth's Charities (Clowes') Estate Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed, as was also the Duke of Cleveland's Estate Bill. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' Amendments to the Llynvi Valley and South Wales Junction Railway Bill, and the Sheffield. Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Goole Railway Bills were agreed to. Dr. BOWRING said that he felt some regret in being com pelled, by a sense of duty, again to call the attention of the House to that legislation which regarded the introduction of tobacco into this kingdom. He took occasion some time ago to show to the House, by what he considered im?ortant facts and figures, and by irresistible statistical evidence, the evil results of the duties on tobacco. Upon a previous occasion he had shown the immense increase which had taken place in the United Kingdom in the number of seizures in consequence of the degrading effects of the pernicious duties on tobacco; and also to the innumerable evils and cruelties which had arisen from the same unhappy source. He would venture to call upon the Right Honourable Baronet the Home Secretary to look around him, and see the state of the law on this subject. Let him inquire into the cause why such enormous multitudes of people were brought before the magis trates, crowded into prisons, with heavy costs of prosecution and heavy charges upon the public, in order to carry out their punishment. He had never contended, and he was not now contending, that tobacco was not a fit subject for taxation. He was very willing to admit that any amount that could be safely raised upon that article might be most properly raised, but the Government were better able to attend to that business than the con sumer. Government should not so act as to be obliged to recognise the necessity of smuggling. The evidence as to the extent of smuggling was perfectly irre sistible. It was openly admitted that the most re spectable brokers and merchants in the tobacco trade were engaged in smuggling. The number of seizures bore no comparison to the amount of escapes. Thousands and tens of thousands of small shops were supported by smugglig. In the year ending January, 1844, the number of convictions were 35, in the following year they were 47, and in the last year 69, showing an increase of 100 per cent. Then with regard to prosecutions for adulteration. In the first year he spoke of they were 18, in the following year 43, and the present year 53. Now where was this process of de moralisation to end ? Must _heir eyes never be opened— must their ears never be awakened to statements like these? These laws inflicted a great hardship on innocent individuals. He knew that most respectable persons, most unimpeachable in character, living in Norwich, purchased a cask of tobacco, stipulating a price for a particular quality, as the Excise knew and acknowledged. The cask was received, the seal was broken, and the cask opened, when the t , bacco was discovered to be of a mixed quality. The case was carried into court, and the magistrate decided that legal possession could not fix the purchasers with damages; but this decision was overturned afterwards, and the purchasers were fined in the limited sum of 50/. Such pro ceedings were a great hardship. The Excise laws made no discrimination between the innocent and the guilty, therefore he called on the House to put an end to the system. The Right Honourable Baronet lately at the head of the Go vernment had said that the duty of the Government should be to cut up the trade of the smuggler root and branch, and to substitute for an illegal traffic a fair and honourable commerce. The cost of introducing tobacco fraudulently was from Is. 2d. to 2s. 2d. per lb., and therefore it was clear that with a duty of Is. the Government could safely compete with the smuggler. The reduction of duty, however. must be considerable to be of any use ; in 1825 it was reduced 25 per cent., from 4s. to 35., but the increase of demand was but a little more than 10 per cent. The Hon. Member added that in the present state of the House he would not further detain it, but move—" That the state of the tobacco duties requires tl.e revision of Par liament, with a view to their early reduction." The motion having been seconded, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, in the present state of the revenue, he was not prepared, on behalf of the Government, to agree to the motion. He could, however, assure the Hon. and Learned Member and the House that the subject should receive the earnest consideration of the Government. THIRD READING. The Monmouthshire Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. H. BERKELEY said, that as the Hon. Member bad appealed to him in support of his statement, he could state that as far as Bristol was concerned he could assure the House that the evils complained of were carried to a tearful extent. Mr. HUME having stated that he was convinced that if the duty on to ,acco were reduced to Is. per lb., the revenue on that article would be at least trebled. An Hon. MEstsrf moved that the Howe be counted, and there being only 35 Members present the House adjourned. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. Several shareholders reprobated the method in which the funds of the Company w.!re squandered. Mr. Mlcittus said that it would be very dangerous to dis solve the Company,m as he considered if they did so prema t ely they would injure the legal claims which he considered that they had upon Rastrick's Company. Mr. BASS said he did not think they had any claim in honour or equity upon Rastrick's Company, but that was a private opinion , 'MO Flolt,and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop .•...."_:,Sed Bath and lVells. 0 1 1).-trr111tipk it right to it,id nne nr two brief passages tnkliStr)4lll44d speech of Lord Seymour, on which I offered soeff - itihildop-a. jury lie (the Bishop of Exeter) rose FLOGGING.

The Chairman and the other members of the Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, when the evidence In support of the Bill was re sumed. After along desultory discussion the meeting separated. Mr. BAINE presented a petition from Glasgow in favour of ,he Government measure with respect to sugar. BANGOR AND ST. ASAPH. ...... Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Ilolywell against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. DUBLIN CORPORATION. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from the lord mayor, alderinen, and burgesses of Dublin, prayine that the ancient rights and privileges of the Corporation of Dublin should be restored. BIDEFORD and TAVISTOCK RAIL Mr. Gough, Pirmer and land agent, was examined, and corrobo rated the evidence of the preceding witnesses as to the flourishing condition of Luton, and the general advantages that the proposed railway would confer ou that town. Ile also stated that the farmers would be benefited in common with the other inhabitants of Luton by this line. WAY COMPANY. MILBANK PENITENTIARY. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from a person named Baker, the Superintendent of the Milbank Prison, praying the House to institute an inquiry into the manner in which the Milbank Penitentiary was conducted. The peti tioner stated that if an inquiry was granted, he would under take to prove that the great est crue l ty had been exercised with respect to prisoners. _ _ A special meeting of the shareholders ook place yesterday, at No. 44, Finsbury-circus, for the purpose of considering the propriety of winding up the affairs of the Company, and deciding whether the dissolution of the Company should be taken as an act of bankruptcy. Mr. J. Browne was called to the chair. The report srated that the Company had been successful in their application to Parliament, and their object was to construct a railway from Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, to Plymouth, in the south of D evon , b ut t h ey h ad been powerfully opposed. By the prospectus it was provided that the number of shares should consist of 26,000 shares, at 251. per share. 20,000 shares were allotted, and 18,600 were paid upon. The following appeared to be the state of the affairs of the Company : d X 25,575 0 0 31 16 2 Interest Deposit 0 .. n. . 1 . .......... 0 .. shares,... ... .. . a .. t .. 1 . / . . .7 . 5 . .. .... Mr. Tkomas Rogers, straw-plait manufacturer, of Dunstable, stated that Luton was the most important town of the county, and superior to Bedford, and that the price of sea-borne corn at Luton was from 328. to 345. or 355. per ton. Cross-examined by Mr. Tia.nox —The coal they could obtain at Dunstable at a cheaper rate was not suited to manufacturing pur poses. The proposed railway would give them coal at 7s. or 88. per ton. Mr. Wedd, cern. factor, stated that the proposed railway would effect a considerable saving in the cost of conveying barley, &c., from Hertford to Ware, and to other markets along the line. The first line on the table of traffic showed 600 leads, or 370 quarters, which had been ascertained by inquiries at the markets. The ether calculations were derived from the sante sources. A. railway to Watford would be inadequate to supply the requirements of the farmers who lived along the present line. Did not know of any district of equal importance i❑ the kingdom which was left unprovided with a Bill for a railway, if not an ex isting line. There was every description of coal in York, which could be brought by the railways now in contemplation into the places al ng the line. 25,606 16 2 Preliminary expenses Engineering ditto 5,585 0 0 Law expenses ............ 5,957 0 0 Rent and advertising Sundries 483 0 0 Traffic-taking .• Out-standing claims Balance remain►ng Which will return about 10s. a share. A resolution, proposing that the Company should dissolve and that the dissolution should not be considered as an act of bankruptcy was thus put and carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned till a future day, in order to get a sufficient number of shares represented. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price Current of August 4.) SUGAR —To-day importers of West India Muscovado Sugar refused to further reduce their prices by private treaty, and the sales did not exceed 290 hhds and trcs, including at public auction 118 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes, which went off heavily and at rather lower rates for the inferior sorts, but good and fine sustained the former value. E E FIN ED.—To- day further reduced rates having been sub mitted to, tempted the home trade to operate with more freedom, and several parcels were sold, consisting chiefly of the lower descriptions. MAuarrius.—This afternoon 7,356 bags 150 casks 19 hhds and 28 trcs of various descriptions were submitted to public competition ; the trade evinced little desire to operate, and not above 5,000 bags, &c., were sold at prices showing a de cline a2s to 3s on the brown and lower kinds of yellow, while on the better sorts of the latter the reduction was barely ls. per cwt. EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal have shown a stronger desire to realise, and submitted to a reduction on previous rates of is to 2s per cwt. Of 5,769 bags offered at auction, not above half sold.

Cross examined —ln the tabular form of traffic, of which he had spoken, he confined himself to grain. The people of Luton were decidedly in favour of the proposed line. The expected revenue of 1,892/ , included every description of grain produced along the line. This table of traffic was not produced before the House of Commons. All the barley in table C went towards Hertford and Ware. Re - examined—Was not called for traffic evidence, and the traffic was admitted on both sides. He had no doubt that the traffic on the proposed line was superior to the traffic of its competitor. His own observation confirmed the evidence adduced yesterday. Mr. E. Rigby, mineral surveyor and engineer, said he had examined the coal mines from which coal could be supplied to the different places along the line, and which coal was of very good quality. He had made calculations as to the cost of bringing coals from these mines to St. Albans, Luton, arid Dunstable, and he found, taking all the incidental expenses into consideration, that at the first-named place coal could be laid down for 17s. Nd., at the seeond for 17s. lad., and at Dunstable for 18s. 2d. per ton. This would reduce the cost of coal at St. Albans as. 9y(1., at L u t on, 17s. 2d., and at Dun stable 15.5. 10d. per to n , making an average Cu the whole of las. 7d. per ton. Mr. Pitman, traffic-table maker, stated that he had compiled the traffic tables of the present line. Received from the two preceding witnesses the calculations as to corn and coal, and the other re maining calculations were formed on the usual base of such matters. The clear income of the promoters of the railway, after deducting the necessary expen es, would be 2 0,925/., and the net profit nearly 10 per cent. on the capital. This witness was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Austin, without however shaking his direct testimony. • The engineering evidence was then gone through, which termi nated the case for the promoters. Mr. AUSTIN then addressed the Committee on behalf of the peti tioners against the Bill, and contended that the evidence in support of the Bill was the most preposterous that was ever sub mitted to a Committee. lie said that the class of pas sengers endeavoured to be drawn into this species of traffic was not of a nature from which any profitable revenue could be because they were of a class Who could not be sup posed to avail thenuelvee of ef conveyance' f such a description as a Lord MORPETH hoped the Hon.

Trew (policeman 26) stated that about 20 minutefi past three o'clock on Saturday, as be was on duty in Cheapside, in plain clothes, he saw the two prisoners following Mr. Townley. They stopped behind Mr. Townley for a minute in the Poultry, and then they fol lowed him down King William-street to the corner 0 1 Arthur-street, where the last witness stood still two or three minutes, and the prisoners remained behind him. Mr. Townley then went on to Gracechurch-street, the srisoners still following him. At last, when Mr. Tow nle y opped to look a t a window, witness saw Shrimpton go up to him, covered by Williams, and pass something t O Williams, which Williams put into his breast pocket- Witness then seized both prisoners, pushed them let° a shop, put his hand between Williams's coat and waist coat, and withdrew from thence the pocket-book, whi ch was at once identified by Mr. Townley as his propertP Mr. Wontner, who appeared for Shrimpton, sta ted th o his client was a ma n o f mos t exce ll e nt character, svholly incapable of an act of dishonesty under any circumn: stances, and that there were numbers of persons prese anxious to testify to his respectability. The prisoner Shrimpton declared, as he had u pon h t is first examination on Monday, that he was complete'f guiltless ; that he w as w h o lly ignorant of any robbery and that his circumstances in life, as well as everytlo.. about his charact er , wou ld s h ow th a t he was inc a p able of anything of the kind. arts Several tradesmen h ere cr i e d ou t from diff erent t o r of the police court, that Mr. Shrimpton was a n In n i — g o• tradesman, known from hi s i n f anc y to beama n - o be doubted integrity.

A young man, one of whose names is John Fitz simmons, was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon a charge of having robbed the Right Hon. John Johnson, the Lord Mayor of London, of a watch and appendages, value 60 guineas. Mr. Hobler attended for the prisoner. The Lord Mayor stated that on Monday evening he came to the City terminus from Blackwell by the rail road, in the ten o'clock train, and was waiting with some friends who accompanied him, for a conveyance to the Mansion-house. He was hustled by several persons, amongst whom was the prisoner, and one of the number, who was shorter in size than the prisoner, snatched his watch, chain, seal, and key and then ran off. There was no policeman on the spot, but soon after the robbery was committed, a policeman made his appearance, and took the prisoner, who said he came from Gravesend, into custody. In answer to a question from Mr. Hobler, his Lord ship said he felt his watch go from him as the prisoner passed. He valued the watch, because when he became of age his father presented him with it. He was waiting at the steps at the time for his carriage. Mr. John Wood, of Falcon -street, stated that he was standing close to the Lord Mayor at the time, and he saw the prisoner and a shorter man in front of his Lordship, and four or five others about the spot. He did not know that the Lord Mayor had been robbed until he heard his Lordship call for the police, and say that he was robbed. Mr. Hobler—Did the prisoner attempt to run away ? Witness—l did not see that he did. Alderman GIBBS—Did he appear to i you to be acting in concert with the other man ? Wtn%ss concert to _eertatip. I should say they were decidedl y acting gether. o w n as be a in n g y accu sed ? Witness — H e Mr. Hobler — Wha t did thed denied pnierdison thater s e f oun d a tion for the charge. a ther up The Prisoner—l should like to hear the evidence against me. - Mr. Hobler.—Prisoner be quiet, and hear the evi dence. Evan Williams, porter at the railway terminus in London-street, said that he saw a shorter man than the prisoner run down the steps quickly. Alderman GIBBS.—How did it happen that there was no policeman at the terminus ? Inspector Woodroffe said the terminus was under the superintendence of the K division of the Metropolitan police, and the City police bad never had anything to do with that district. The prisoner proved to be the man whom, some months ago, Daniel Forrester apprehended at Master man's basking-house, suspecting that he was lurking about the place for the purpose of committing a robbery. Upon the prisoner's person were found a white silk hi s h e st e n t c n l c l , i d er v c c h r i ; t an with s a to b g r e o t ad ba c p k uc fr e on b i. o t r h c e i er o , ffi e w e c a h n d b a e shilling. It was stated in the justice-room that within the last few days bank-notes and gold to the amnunt of up wards of 3,0001. have b e en s t o l en i n the neighbourhood of the Atension-house. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. Alderman Gibbs was for some time occupied in hear ing a case which was listened to with more than ordinary interest. Matthew hrimpton, who was stated to be a respectable tradesman in extensive business, and Henry Williams, who has been some time known to the police :Is tle. com panion of thieves, were brought up in custody of George Trew, City policeman, No. 26, charged with having robbed Mr. Townley, surveyor of Bexley Heath, Kent, of a pocket-book, containing a cheque for 51. and other papers.
