THE LONDON JOURNAL§. reTRACTII FROM 'nig DAILY MORNING PAPERS, January 14, 1823. • [Tme TIMES.] The French papers of Friday and Saturday are arrived. In the Drapeau Blanc of the latter date is an account • ►irhich we have reason to sup pose may be true in the chief fact—namely, that of the entrance of the. French territory by au armed body of Constitutional tronps. We know not whether endeavours may be used to give a serious turn to this affair; but so far as the law of nations is concerned, that will be satisfied fully, if . the Spanish Government can show that it ht.s given express orders to all its officers 110 respect the French soil, end if it punishes severely the violation of those orders ; for it is obvious that nothing can exceed the cri minality of an officer who affords st pretext for the invasion of his country. The punish ment of such a man acquits the Government of ail participation in his offence. With respect to the conduct of France, we confess that we should respect her more if she went to war on the great but ieiquirous principle of dictating a Govern meat to Spain (her own being so ancient and stable), or of ►raking Ferdinand absolute (on account of his many virtues and transcendent goodness), than if she were to seize any petty friVQIOLIV occasion like the present of masking her real designs and sneaking into the contest. on false pretences., EMOnNING CHRONICLE.] • American Papers were yesterday received to tae, 17th ult. According, to these, it would appear that the Congress had come .to a series or Resolutions for the suppression of piracy; as recommended by the President in his Message.. These Resolution. are founded on the concurrent opinions and estimates of the Secretary of the Navy and the Navy Commis sioners, and, from the diSposition of the Washing ton Cabinet, and the clamOnrs resounding on this subject in every part of the Union, it was expected the new plans would be rendered extremely effective. It is intended to use steam-vessels, the precise plan some time ago re. comraended by one of our countrymen here. It .appear 3 also that some of our own vessels, viz., the S,etin;L:aoatarn, Redwing, and Grecian, had arrived at. thivannah for the purpose of co-ope rating., in the extermination of the pirates ; the ITYperion and Tyne were also cruizin,g on the the,coast of Cuba. It would also seem that some iNuiries have, been' instituted in 'Congress re specting an expedition which some time ago left the United States with aview to revolutionize the 'Nand of. Puerto Rico.- • [MORNING rOST.] We received last night, by Express, French Rapers, to the 19.,th instant. Their contents, since the appearance of the Circular of the three Monarchs, have once more sunk into comparative insignificance, and wilt not •recover their In terest until they - shall announce the arrival of the snswer of the Cortes. This answer is now al moitt uaily expected, and the interval is spent by the difirent Journals in commenting on the sentlinkts expressed by the Allied Powers, in their Declaration. To some this document ap pears not only warlike, but full of disgusting self-adulation and calumnious misrepresentations;' whilst in the eyes of others it is a splendid monu ment of good faith, temper, and love of peace Amongst the latter is the Journal des Debuts, which has published an article worthy of the ,euutidienne, in which, under the pretence ofi comparing the various assertions of the Royal and imperial Circular with facts, the conduct of each of the Sovereigns by whom the Declaration is subscribed is bespattered with outrageous praise. To Austria individually, however, the targest hitare is given. When " unhappy Italy" was threatened with the, establishment of free Constitutiona in her bosom, Austria, we are told, " rushed first to her aid," and " Naples, Piedmond, all, the States of the Peninsula were `sirved by the activity of her Cabinet and her sol -4)0.0 That is to say, the ;Amu promises by.brltich Austria and her Allies induced the Italians in 18.14 to assist in overturning Napo. ' icon were a second time violated, end absolute Despotism was re-enthroned in all those States velNre the Kings and Emperors of the Continent had pledged their .oaths before man and tiod that they would establish Constitutional freedom. Et 4 FtW TIM ES:j Consols for , account closed yesterday at 804. This slight improvement was owing to the arrival of an express, with the price, at which the FaDell lientes c`osed on Saturday, viz.B7f. 65c., behig about 40 centimes higher than they were on Thursday. This may probably have been oviog to the moderate tone of the Note of the three Powers, which was published on Friday.— The improvement indeed is but trivial, and the peneral complexion of the news is quite as war. like as it 1,1,s been for some time past. The ituche d'Aquitaine, a provincial Paper, mentions sin orcnrrence, which for the sake of humanity We to ust is unfounded. A detachment of 250' of tin Spanish Republican troops, it is said, entered the French territory, for the express purpme of murdering; and did murder, in cold blood, twenty of their wounded countrymen who belonged to the Army of the Foith. We shoUld wholiy disbelieve that Spaniards could be guilty of such an atrocity, had we not before our eyes the example of the blood-thirsty monster Mina, whose oame will be marked with C.:Let:lll6On by tte latest posterity. It is surprising how silent all our Journalists who profess liberality have been on the subject of the diabolicni Proela- Mation of Casfel-follit ! Not one of them has breathed n syllable in reprobation of one of the most atrociriu. deeds that have been eommitted since Bin= parte's murder of his Twelve undyed Prisoneis ! flow lamentable, that the profession of Libeidlity should be' accompanied with such inerci le, 5 ferocity oil the part of these murderers, and that a Free Press should endeavour to smother the natural indignation of mankind at such crimes! [BRITISH PRESS.] The circular of the Three Sovereigns is one of the most important documents, and, in our opi.' nion, the most auspicious of all the documents which have hitherto graced the art of Printing.— The fox is unearthed. Our enemy is visible, and all his lineaments are cognizable to the eye. For absolute power the sword is the only weapon. Blessed be the day it drew the pen ! The Declaration of Verona is the death knell of Despotism, and happy it is that Europe affords only three Sovereigns to ring the changes. It is an admirable document ; and whether we are indebted for it to Prince Metternich or the Philosophical Emperor of the North, we are thankful for it. Even the Courier shall not surpass us in gratitude and ad. miration. We are, in the first place, highly pleased with the declaration, because it confirms our view with respect to the origin of those threats of war which have agitated Europe.— Not a word is found here respecting the humble petition of France, and the gracious permission of Congress, to make war against Spain. The petition and permission are therefore all fictioni. It is, in fact, the jealous alarms, and the instinc. the hostility of the European ripity which de nounced the Peninsular Revolutions, and insti gated France to war. The French nation made a tremendous impression upon the three impe rial and royal noddles, when, conducted by Na. poleon, they dispersed their armies and _seized their capitals. Now then, that France is the dear friend of neighbouring Emperors and the Prussian King, she must apply all her terrific polders to their enemies, the nations who im prove their political institutions. [MORN►NG HERALD.] It appears by the Paris accounts of Saturday's date, that the Verona Circular tended rather to raise than depress public confidence. The French Funds had a slight rise. This. proves at least that the effect of the Circular was not uttfayour,. able—even supposing the rising of the Fluids to be the result of accident, or of contrivance. The Ambassadors of the three Powers had received instructions to leave Madrid on. the 'l7th ; and, if we may trust one of the Paris Ultra Journals, the French Ambassador was te follow _this example " in a very few days," in pursuance, of a:dispatch to him from M. de Villele, subsequently to the transmission of his famous Note. The latter piece of information, both from its vagueness and from the source through which it comes, seems entitled to little credit. With all the veering of the French Ministry, it is still not.to belightiv assumed that M. de Villele is such a weather cock as this Journal would represent him— sending a note one day, which announced, if it meant any thing, the openins orthe negocia. l dons, and dispatching another the next day, re calling the Ambassador. The Ministers under orders to quit. Madrid are expected in Paris on the 98th. But their presence there will hardly influence the great question that is pend ing. They possess no weight of talents or cha racter, and can bring nothing more with them than the mere value of their information, as !key ing been on the spot. It was calculated that, the Notes addressed by the Sovereigns directly and specially to Madrid, would, on their appearance, throw a decisive light on the conduct which they would pursue towards Spain. TIIE SERPENTINE Rrvec—Crowds of persons occupied all the footpaths about noon yesterday. The ice was thronged about two o'clock, and we observed several skaiters of rank and fashion.— Several accidents happened : five fell into the water in consequence of venturing on parts re cently frozen over; and among them were two little boys in pin-be-fores. Happily, all were extricated by the promptness of the men be longing to the Humane Society ; they were conveyed to the Receiving House, wherein a medical gentleman and two assistants are in con stant attendance. in three cases the water was from 16 to ep feet deep. Among the amusements was the hurling of a Norway sledge, in which three persons were seated at a time. The ice in many parts appeared to be breaking up fast, from the great pressure of shoals of people covering the same spot. Long poles, with thttword " Dan gerous" were placed on marry points, and every other precaution taken. ANCIENT ARMOUR, —Two ancient shields, which 'no doubt were worn in the celebrated battle of Shrewsbury, and which were ploughed up at Battlefield, are now in the possession of Sir ANDREW Conarr, Bart. of Acton Reynold Hall. The one is a specimen of those worn by the horse soldier, and the other of those worn by the foot soldier.—(Chester Chonicle.) BURGLAR Y AND ROBBEIIY.----00 Saturday night the house of Mr. CRUIKSUANK, in St. James's-place, was entered by thieves, who forced their,way through the area and kitchen doors by means of centre-bits, and other instruments, and took from the lower part of the house a few pieces of plate and other articles. Being disturbed they made their escape through the front door, leaving behind them a part of their tools. From the great labour, and apparent time employed to enter the premises, the robbers no doubt expected to find more valuable property, but fortunately Mr. C. had had the precaution to send away most of his small quantity of plate, &c. to a place or security, as is his custom after entertaining a party of friends, and which had taken place the preceding week. (A circum stance which is supposed to have some connec tion with theliobbery on Saturday night.)—One of the Bow-street Officers was sent for, and from his information, coupled , with other circum stances, it is hoped that the robbers will be traced and taken into custody.—lf all house. keepers were to deposit their plate and other valuables, not in constant use, ho`wever small in quantity, at, some bankeis or silversmiths, and send for and, return it every time they enter tained company, temptation would be removed, and fewer robberies would take place, as tlw property remaining in the house would not be worth the danger and risk of forcibly entering to take it, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS. GUILDHALL-1n the many cases of depredations com mitted by servants upon their employers, which have-occurred lately at this Justice Room, the offenders have for the most part been men ; but yesterday l two females were brought up before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman WALTIIIIAN, charged, separately, with offences of this description. The first was a very smartly dressed young woman, who gave her name Margaret Jones, and had been discharged from the service of Mr. Sewell, plumber, Aldersgate-street, in the early part of last week, in consequence of some suspicions of her honesty. Her box being searched, there were found in it two yards of new flannel, some frills, and other small articles, which Mrs. Sewell recognized as her property. The girl was in consequence examined at this office, and the charge, as far as concerned Mr. Sewell, fully substantiated against her. A gold watch and a gold handkerchief-pin were also found in one of her boxes, the fiirmer of which she said had been given her by a gentleman she had lived servant with, it being the dying request of her mistress that she should have it; and the latter she had picked up in the street. The true history of the watch wits, however, fully disclosed by the evidence of Richard Rose, who stated that he lived as footman with Mrs. Service No. 30, Finsburf-square, at the time the prisoner was there in the ca pacity of housemaid. In the month of August last his mis tress lost her gold watch from . her side in a very unaccountable manner. She went out one evening in the carriage to pay a visit, at which time she had her watch fastened to her side by a polished steel hook. She was very infirm, and on her return ' home was assisted out of the carriage by the prisoner Margaret, and a young gentleman,a relative, who had returned in the carriage • with her e and hortly after missed her watch. Mar garet was sent to inquire if it had been left at the lady's she had been visiting'; every search was made in the hope that it had been dropped, and it had subsequently been advertised, but no tidings had ever been heard respecting it. Mrs. Service was since dead. The watch, • together with the titeel hook, found in the pri goner's box, was shown to the witness, and identified by him as the property of Mrs. Service, and lost in the mannerdescrihed. The probable suspicion therefore was, that the prisoner had dexterously removed the watch from the old lady's side while helping her out of the carriage.--The prisoner was remanded for another hearing. The second case was that of Nary Anne ,Woods, a married woman, who officiates as laundress at Mr. Sergeant Firth's chambers, in Sergeant's inn, Chancery-lane. The Learned Sergeant stated he had on several occasions' snspecte3l the prisoner of petty pilferings, more especially in the article of coals, and on Saturday morning observing the coal-scuttle particularly heaped up with six very large coals upon the top, he called his two sons also to take notice of it, and on looking at the.coal-scuttle immediately after the pri goner had gone, he found that the six pieces of coal were gone. thie of them he subsequently saw was left on the bob of the grate in which she had been lighting a fire. The other five he concluded she had taken away. He should not.have troubled himself to prosecute the woman for so trifling a theft, but on his subsequently-charging her with the fact, she became ex ceedingly impudent. He told her he would not be robbed and .bullieu too ; and she in reply threatened to bring some one who ien.ild soon silence him, anti shortly afterwards brought her husband, a watchman, who held the same insolent sort of lan guage, and threatened that if he (the Sergeant) did not prose cute her before Monday night, he would prosecute him ; and it was in conseq u en ce o f t h at threat that he had given her in custody. Ife did not, he said, actually see her take the coals; but they were there, and gone within the space of two minutes; nn other perion was present, and if she did not take theta, they must haVe escaped by m ag ic. The prisoner stoutly persisted in denying the charge, and called a witness, a man who keeps a coal-shed, to prove that she bought lido sack of coals from him every week, and there- fore had - nO occasion tp steal any. For the protection of the Learned Sergeant against the threat used by the prisoner's husband, it became necessary to send her to her trial, and she was accordingly committed. EXTENSIVE AND DARING BURGLARY. . MARL)IOII.OIIGII.STREET.—Yesterday J. Strange, Thos. Chandler ' and C'harles Kanaley, were brought up before FRE DERICK. ROE, Esq., for final examination, on the charge of the extensive robbery and burglary upon the premises of Air. William Donovan, fishmonger, 292, Oxford-street. The pri mers had previously undergone several private examinations. The following very singular evidence was then taken : Mr. Donovan stated, that on the 22d of last month he left his house in the care of a young man named Thomas Griffiths, and the prisoner Kanaley, and sonic of his lodgers, who, hoWever, had no access to the parlour of his house ; he left, • the two young men' in the front parlour, and the door leading from that room to an inner apartment was properly secured, , and the window-shutters closed : the door was secured by a patent lock ; within the room was a chest of drawers, and in an alcove covered over with clothes, &c., was an iron chest, also properly secured, the key of it being' -locked in one of the drawers : he returned home at nine o'clock in the evening, having been informed his house had been robbed ; he found his daughter crying, and the inner room all in confusion. The drawers were broken open,.and a check tot 301., about 20 sovereigns, and sonic silver were stolen from them. On examining the iron chest, he found it locked; but finding The key thrown in the room, he opened it, and found it rifled of its contents. About 2001. in silver, 200 sovereigns, notes, and other money, to the amount in all f 0001. was gone. The room door I°4 was wrenched uff; and on examining it, a ward or piece of skeleton key was found. He in a frantic state charged. Kanaley with the robbery, and Made him strip ,off his clothes, but on searching theM nothing was found. Ho promised him pardon if-he would tell him where the money was; but the boy said he knew nothing of it. Kanaley had lived with him far one year and a half, but had left for a inonth,'and had again re turned about a week before the robbery. The prisoner Strange had lived with him for about two Months last summer; but never, to his knowledge, had be seen where the,money was.— The witness also said that he had left a watch dog in the par lour, and this dog . was remarkable for barking at any strangers who should come into the house; but it was very quiet on the day of the robbery. Strange was known by the dog, who was very fond of him : the animal had been seven years in the family. Mary Anne, the wife of James Broiulfield, being sworn, stated she resided with her husband on the first floor of. Mr. Donovan's house, and she was at home during the entire of the day of the 22d of Decernber : it was Sunday, and the house was remarkably quiet, most unusually so; the dog never barked during the day or evening. Thomas Griffiths, the young man left in the house with Ka naley, stated lie was servant to Mr. 'Donovan, and on Sunday, the 22d of last month', about a quarter to 6 o'clock, he was going to the stable to clean the horses, when Kanaley said he .was going to his tea, and lie would return soon, when lie then could. go. The witness acceded, and Kanale3r went, and again returned about 7 o'clock, and was admitted by him, who then perceived a young woman Awalking up and down. He then went to the stables, and on his return kanaley, who was stand ing at the door, then *ent to a customer's with some oysters. The witness soon after went home he knew nothing more. The Magistrate then addressed the prisoner Kanaley, saying he would not give him any.promise or hope for what belied to state ; therefore if he had any thing to say under such condi tions he might speak.: Kanaley, who is quite a boy, said he was willing to speak all be knew. The Magistrftte then haVing had him removed from the bar and• sworn, the following most ektraordinary disclosure was made Kanaley said he had lived in his master's service a year and a half, but had left his employment far about a month, during which time he had seen.the prisoner Strange several times, who once said " he should like to get into that (Donovan's) house, and one of them must endeavour to get back again :" but no thing more was said then. On :the Sunday he went back again : he saw Strange at the Lamb and Flag public house, when he told him that he wart gone back again. Strange re plied, " Oh, I know ; Barney told me su ;" Ile then drank some gin, but the subject of getting into the house appeared to' be dropped. On the Friday following he again saw him in the, public house-Ale was with a man whose name he did not know, but whom they called ' Bob," Strange said, "We are talking about what a good trade that of a fishmonger is ;" he made no reply, and Strange again Raid, " I think Donovan has a great deal of money in the house ;" he re plied he did not how. Strange then asked whose turn it was to be at twine on Sunday; lie replied he did not know. Strange again asked hi m if lie and '' Bob" were to come, would he let them in ; he replied, "Oh yee,"and ran out of the, place. On the lieu day, Saturday, he was again in' the public-houee warm ing seme porter. St.enge was there with " Bob," and several others ; he said, " Charley, there you are." Ile replied, Yes, you see I am." Strange again asked whether he was to beat lime the next day (Sunday), but he replied`he did not know ; and to a question whether he would like, to stay at home, he replied he would if he could. lie saw him again later in the evening, When Strange said he and " Bob" would tro the next day. He (Kanaley) replied, There is no time." They answered, there would. be plenty while " Donovan" was gone to chapel ; it not, when the man went to clean the horse: - He ;Caked them how they would do it ? Ile (Strange) replied, Chttnifier will watch the man to theestables, and 'Bob Ana I will come in." On Sunday he saw Strange in the publie-hoitie with others, -and abOut seven o'clock he-came out, with him, Kanaley, and something• passed t and Strange in.' q ui red where the man was (eneatting.Orifiths i Nat being inform. ed he was gone to do his horse, Strange then observed, " right ; Bob and• Chandler are in St. iantetes-street; when you go in, send the man out to the stables, and st an d a t th e door. He then left Ilim l and returned to Mr. Donov a n' s h ouse , and when Griffiths went to the stables, he went to the door, and. saw Strange and the man Bob standing opp os ite at a shop window ; on seeing him, they came over; and directly went into the house, he still remained. standing at the door; they were inside &abort time, when he heard th em say th e y should want another chisel, and the man Bob came out, and soon returned with another chisel; they, in, about eight minutes cam e out , and' he asked them how much they had ; they replied about 3001., and directed him to know nothTtig of it : he then corroborated the latter part of Mr. Donovan's and Griffiths' statement. Craigohe officer, produced the piece of skeleton key found in the ward of the door lock. Mrs. Brindall, of the Lamb and Flag, proved having seen Strange in her house on the evening of the robbery, and also the boy Kanaley on .the . -previoui days. Mr. Bridgewater, printer, of South .Moulton -street, proved having, in company with others, and with a search-warrant, searched the house of a Mrs. Steele, who employed Chandler, and finding among the ashes in the bakehouse, wrapped in a piece of paper, 69 sovereigns and half a sovereign. This was the entire evidence, and Mr. HIIMPIIIMYS sub mitted that no evidence had been adduced against Chandler. The Magistrate was of the same opinion,_ and instantly dis charged Chandler; but fully co mm itt e d the other prisoner, Strange, to Newgate, for trial. Kanaley was remanded to prison to give evidence. The whole of the witnesses were bound over, and the Ma gistrate declined making any order respecting the money found where Chandler worked ; he was received by a crowd of loose looking men, who were loitering the whole day about the office. BOXING. A severe battle was fought at 10 o'clock yes terday morning, in a meadow at Eynsford, Kent, near Far ninghani, between Hudson and. Wilding, respectable yeomen, and amateurs of the fist, for 20 sovereigns a side. It was made at a !porting house in the Haymarket, over a dispute on Friday evening. It was not intended to be much known, and the ring was not annoyed by much rabble. The men were each about I2st. 21bs., and could handle their daddies pretty mischievously. Nothing but earnestness was meant. • In the first round Wilding was floored on one knee at going in, but he picked himself up and turned to again like game, although claret was streaming from the mummer . A give and take rally of seven minutes followed; but were well pinked with crimson hue, and both fell in a struggle, tired. 2. The round' had not only warmed the combatants, but it had also taken the fastness out of them. Hudson, in deliver. ing a hit. ? missed and fell upon the blow. 3. This round consisted of eight minutes bull-dog fighting. The men broke from the rally four different times ; Hudson was knocked down. Bto4 on Wilding. 4. Both were waiting for second wind, guarding themselves out of distance. lludson at length made the play, and gave his adversary a muzzier over the temple, which was returned upon the hody. Hudson dropped down with it. b. This round finished the battle by an accident. Both men were hit to a stand still, but they made another rally, and in a struggle Wilding was thrown a Somerset, which dislocated his shoulder when he had the best of the fight, and Hudson won under 29 minutes. Sicown Frnnr.—lt was considered to turn up the ports, and two countrymen, Nash and Beale, were pitted to gether for two sovereigns. They wanted `every thing but courage, and their display caused much amusement. It was all upon the mowing system, but equal on both sides. A boxer would have hit either three times in the face whilst a blow was coming round. Some awkward cracks were exchanged, and Nash won it. w N o R E I LP y O T o 1.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 11.----ThC immense shoals of herrings which have been in this riser, and have afforded our industrious fishermen an unpreeedentedivarrest, are now declining s—those who are still rortunate to fall in with them obtain a French Crown per bushel, and they are eagerly caught at by the French Fishermen at that price. So great is the quantity of fish sent from our waters to the London markets, that the humble fishermen have been in the habit of paying from 1,5001. to 2,0001. per annum for carriage. • FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Friday morning, as the coach that runs from Bath to the Bolt-in-Tun, Fleet street, London, was proceeding at its - usual pace, down the declivity, just beyond 13atheaston-house, it came it contact with the wheel of a cart, in consequence of the cart e r draw ing. the horse across the road, and backing the vehicle against the fore wheel of the coach, by which the pole was broken, and the coachman thrown down between the horses, when the wheel went over his leg, which, however, was not broken. Had the carter suffered the horse to stand still, the coach would have passed hi safety. There were two outside passengers, one on the box, and the other on the roof: the former became alarmed at his perilous situation, and instantly attempted to leap from his seat; hut was dissuaded by his companion, who held him by the coat for some time, till at length he fell or juMped down and was unfortunately killed on the spot, having dislocated his neck ! The coach went on to the next turnpike (witkin.2oo yards), when the horses stopped, and the remainder of the passengers e sca p e d w i t h out injury—they comprised four insides, with the outside passengerabove alluded to. The name of th 9 unfortunate deceased was Mr. Webb, a sack-manufac turer, at Abingdon, in Berkshire.--(Salisbury Paper.) MunnEn.—A powerful sensation has been pro duced in 'Beverley and the vicinity by the perpetration of a murder in that neighbourhood, committed upon a young man, a porter in the employ of Mr. P. Ti ger , o f B ever l ey , drug gist. His name was Richard Walker. The unfortunate sufferer was sent by his master to Driffield, on . Friday, the 27th of December, and left that place about two o'clock in the afternoon, on his return. Mr. Tiger was surprised at his non-arrival, anti sent a message on the subject to his friends the following day ; which, however, the carrier neglected to deliver. In a few days a pair of shoes was sent to him from his father's. Inquiry *as made after him, but in vain ; his friends became alarmed ; and on Monday last several parties went in search of him_ in the direction of Drif field. The same day his body was discovered by his brother. in-law, in a field, between Scarbro' and Leckonfield, about a quarter of ai mile from the latter place. It presented a horrid spectacle. The body had been stripped of every thing, except the shirt and under waistcoat. The forehead was completely beat in ; the right ear was torn off; a severe wound was inflict ed on one of the cheeks, and the throat was cut across so as near. ly . to sever the head from the body. Circumstances having tran spired which attached suspicion to a man named Wm. John son, he was taken into custo d y , an d a mass o f c i rcumstantial evidence has since been collected, which can leave no doubt of his participation in the dreadful crime. We understand that the deceased and Johnson were met walking 'together, about four miles from Driffield, on the afternoon of - the 27th. Early on the morning of the 28th, Johnson was seen crossing some fields by a person who went up to him, and on their entering into conversation, Johnson proposed an exchange of watches, at the same time producing one with a very partic u l ar mar k on the face, which has since been identi fi ed as the property of the deceased. At this time Johnson had a new hat on his head. (since proved to belong to 'Walker.) On the Thursday fol lowing lie appeared in part of the deceased's clothes, and, as a rather singular, but at the same time confirmatory circum stance, we may mention, that a bone button was found lying near the boar, which exactly corresponded with those worn by Johnson, one of which was wanting. In addition to this, he was at the moment of' his apprehension, actually wearing a red waist 'coat which is proved to have been taken from 'Walker. The spot where the atrocious deed was perpetrated is within a few hundred yards of several houses ; a woman, who occupies one of them, heard the cries of a person in distress, but could not speak posi tively whether on Thursday or Friday evening. The deceased was 22 years of age, end bore an estimable character John son is a farmer's servant, about the same age, and remarkably stout. Since his apprehension, and during his examination before the Magistrates, he has manifested the most callous in difference. On Wednesday he was finally committed far tr;al at the ensuing assizes, and on Thursday conveyed to York Castle.—( .Rockinghern.) RonnEns.—The marauders in Windsor Forest, who infest that part, chiefly from Englefield- Green to Oakingharn, and from Virginia Water to liracknel, committed many depredations last week. They chiefly reside in huts in the hollows of the forest, are in formidable gangs, and baffle the efforts of the Police.
