On Thursday two journeymen, nam , i Whitelock and Johnson, in the employ of Mr. James EdamHs, a master baker in Brick-lane, were charged before Mr. Grito7E with havinc , robbed their master to a considerable amount. It appeared that the prosecutor had long suspected the prisoner of robbing him, and on Thursday morning, while he was away from home, they were seen to carry away a sack of flour. Police-constable Backhouse, 92 H, stated that when the prisoners were given into his custody, Whitelock said that "he had long wished to go to sea, and now he should go at his Majesty's expense." The prosecutor said that master bakers had been so robbed by their journeymen that they had formed a society for their protection, to prosecute all those that were detected. The prisoners admitted their guilt, and Mr. GROVE fully committed them both to Newgate for trial. UNION-HALL. On Thursday, John Weedon and Charles Ware were brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with committing an assault of an aggravated nature on William Kingham, landlord of the Marquis of Granby, Loman's-pond. The complainant stated that the defendant was jealous of his own wife, and that on the preceding night he called at the Marquis of Granby, 'accompanied by several of his acquaintances. The first thing he did on entering the house was to vociferate " Where's that tailor"—l have come here to punch his head, for enticing away my wife." He then ran into the bar, then into the tap-room, then into the par lour, and then up stairs, vowing vengeance if he came across either his wife or the tailor. The complainant assured him neither party was in his house, and endeavoured to prevail on him to moderate his temper, telling him at the same time that he had acted with too much precipitation, and very improperly disturbed the tranquillity of the house. The defendant, however commenced abusing the complainant, whom he charged with harbouring his wife in the house, and repeatedly struck him, in the course of which he got his head under his arm, what is technically called, " into Chancery," and began pegging away at his face, until he had blackened both his eyes, and every dig he gave him, he accompanied with this ejaculation, " Take that, you know the tailor has got my wife." The complainant added, that the defendant brought his companions to the house for the purpose of creating a disturbance, and that he had also been assaulted by Ware, the other defendant. The defendant Weedon, went to the Marquis of Granby to look after his wife, who absconded with a tailor, whom he expected to meet there to give him goose. The tailor was in the habit of frequenting the " Marquis," and he did not wish to disguise the fact from the magistrates, that his principal motive in calling there was to catch the tailor, and give him a trouncing, for presuming to take away a wife that did not belong to him. The complainant submitted that it was a hard case that he should be the sufferer in his own house for remonstrating with a man who was jealous of his wife, and who came there with a determination to excite a disturbance in the place. If a tailor had seduced the affections of the defendant's wife, who by all accounts was very badly treated by the husband, that was no reason that he should vent his ma lignant feelings on those who had nothing to do with the transaction. The Magistrates - agreed in the opinion that the defendant was not justified in acting in the manner he had done. It was evident he had called at the Marquis of Granby to make a disturbance there, as he had taken several of his friends with him. If he wanted to reclaim his wife and punish the violator of her chastity, that was not the mode he ought to have adopted for obtaining satisfaction. Defendant—Your Worships, all I want is to get hold of the tailor, the base man. The Magistrates said that the assault was clearly proved against the defendants, and adjudged them to pay pe nalties of 40s. each, or in default of payment to be com mitted for a month each. The fines were paid, and the parties withdrew. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DEATH FROM A SURGICAL OPERATION. Last week an inquest was held at East Tilbury, before C. C. LEWIS, Esq., coroner. up *Lo body of John Free man, aged One month and three days, son of a farming bai liff in that parish. Sarah Freeman, mother of the child. under an impression that its tongue was tied, took it to Mr. Warren's on the previous Tuesday. She there saw the assistant. After examining it he observed that it wanted cutting as badly as any he had ever seen. He then cut it and they returned home. From that time if continued bleeding, and on Wednesday morning they went again to Mr. Warren's. Mr. W. and his assistant both endea voured to stop it without effect, and at night, both becom ing alarmed, she sent for Mr. Robinson, surgeon of Orsett, who attended, and remained with the deceased several hours. The bleeding continued until Thutsday afternoon, and at six o'clock in the evening it died. She applied no thing herself to stop the blood, but was compelled occa sionally to put ber finger into deceased's mouth to clear out the congealed blood, which otherwise would have choked it. She was quite certain deceased did not move while the operation was going on. John Chadwick Robinson, of Orsett, surgeon, deposed— I saw deceased at nine o'clock on Wednesday. I found that the string of the tongue had been divided, and in doing so, a small vessel had been also divided with it. There appeared to have been caustic applied to the wound. The saliva had washed over the tongue, and excoriated the tip of it. I considered it useless to apply caustic again, and therefore applied the actual cautery, and repeated it twice during the four hours I remained with him. The bleeding still continued, and I left about two o'clock' on Thursday morning, conceiving it useless to remain longer. The operation is usually performed with a pair of scissors made for the purpose. It requires the greatest possible care, and is always dangerous. From a movement of the child's tongue during the operation, or from the artery under the tongue being more superficial than common, it may be wounded when the greatest care is used, and if wounded, the consequences are, I believe, always fatal. Such an ac cident might happen to the most skilful surgeon. The. Jury expressed themselves satisfied, from the evi dence that such an accident might occur to the most skil ful of the profession, and in the absence of all proof that the operation was improperly performed, returned a verdict embodying that opinion. An inquisition was recently held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital before Mr. Payne, on the body of Susannah Smith, aged four years, daughter of Mr. Smith, die sinker, of No. 1, Banner-street, St. Luke's. On Saturday afternoon the deceased was playing with four young brothers and sisters in the parlour. The mother had been with them from one to three o'clock, when she left the room to go up stairs, but had not got more than half up before hearing a scream, she hurried down and found the child's clothes in a complete blaze, which with great presence of mind she extinguished by wrapping her own clothes around the child. Surgical assistance was immediately sent for. On examination its injuries were found to be so dreadful that its recovery was almost hopeless. It lingered only through the following day, and died at midnight. It appeared the child was amusing itself by holding its pinafore to the fire to " warm" it, as she called it, and thus set it on fire. Verdict—Aceidental Death. On Wednesday an inquest was taken at the Roebuck Inn, Chesterton, on Henry Clinton, Feilpv of Cuius Col lege, who died suddenly the previous evening. Deceased, with eight or nine other persons, went down the r: "r on Tuesday morning, and returned to Chesterton about 12 night : refreshments were had on board, and some of the party played at cards. Between 7 and 8 in the evening Mr. Clinton was observed sitting with his back against the boat side ; but, appearing asleep, he was not disturbed, and he remained in that position until the party reached Ches terton, when, on attemptin g to awake him, his hand was found to be quite cold , and he was evidently dead. The deceased had kept himself very still all the day, and the party was an exceedingly quiet and orderly one.—" Died of apoplexy." Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Silver Cup Tavern, Cromer-street, Gray's-inn-road, before Mr. Stirling, Coroner for Middlesex, and a highly respectable jury, on view of the body of Mr. Robert Back, a confiden tial clerk in the employ of Messrs. Lyall and Co., ale brewers, of the Swan Brewery, Chelsea, who put a period to his existence under the following melancholy circumstances. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased bad been many years confidential clerk to Messrs. Lyall and Co., and was greatly respected by all who knew him. On Wednesday evening he, west into the parlour of the Silver 30, STRAND, ONE CHEER MORE!

In consequence of the present aspect of political affairs, several societies have lately been formed in Westminster and its neighbourhood, for the purpose of protecting the rate-payers not only from political but from parochial abuses. An addition is made every week to the number of mem bers, most of whom are respectable tradesmen, and all hav ing a vote for the election of a Member. On Thursday evening a very numerous meeting of, the members of the Reform Society of St. Margaret and St. John took place at the Carpenters' Arms, Stafford-place, Pimlico, Mr. WOODWARD in the Caair. Several resolutions were passed expressive of the inten tion of the Society to support no Member but one of stanch and tried principles in the cause of Reform, and to uphold the city of Westminster in its original character, as one of the foremost to come forward on the part of the people. Mr. WRIGHT then proposed the following resolution ; " That an humble and loyal address be presented to his Majesty, expressive of the gratitude of this meeting for his accepting the resignation of the late Administration, and of their hope that a liberal Administration may be formed whose sole object will be, to increase the stability of the Crown and the prosperity of the nation at large." Mr. STRICKLAND seconded the motion, which was re ceived with loud cheering, and carried unanimously.— Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Thursday George Webster, aged 13, and William Ed wards, aged 14, were brought before Mr. ROGERS, charged by Mr. George Weaver, cheesemonger, of 59, Exmouth street, Clerkenwell, with having robbed him of 12/. and other property. The prosecutor being sworn, stated that on the 17th of March the prisoner Webster was in his service as errand boy. On that day he deposited 12 sovereigns and ether property in his cash-box, which he placed in a cupboard in the parlour. Shortly afterwards he missed it, and the pri soner absconded from the house. He suspected him of the robbery, and made every inquiry after him, but he received no tidings of him until the Bth of April, when he heard that he was taken into custody, and was at this office. Mr. Warden being sworn, stated that he is Superinten dent of the Woolwich Police Establishment. On the 7th of April he was coming to London on board a steam-vessel, when he saw the prisoners, who were passengers on board, exhibiting sovereigns and'other valuable property, and their conduct excited suspicion that they had committed some depredation. On being questioned, Webster told many falsehoods, and said he received the property he had in his possession from Mr. Jackson, of Brownlow-street, Drur3- lane, which he ascertained to be untrue ; and, threatening to take him before a Magistrate, he confessed having robbed Mr. Weaver. The prisoner Webster admitted that Edwards had nothing to do with the robbery ; he only accompanied him to various parts of the country, where the best part of the money was spent. The prisoner Edwards cried, but Webster behaved in a very hardened manner, and with levity. Waddington, the gaoler, said that the Governor and clergyman of the prison where they had been remanded to, described Webster's conduct as being hardened. On ask ing him his name, he replied, " I shan't tell—l know lam a dead Jagger." Mr. ROGERS—What did he mean by that ? Wadding ton—That he should be transported for life. He was fully committed for trial ; but he will be examined on a future day, on another charge of robbery. Bob Bonner, the noted resurrection-man, and Maly, his wife, were brought up, charged under the following cir cumstances : It appeared in evidence that, on Wednesday night last, the prisoners entered the house of Mr. Maher, of the Maidenhead, Battle-bridge, and made a disturbance ; and, on being ordered out of the place, they became vory vio lent, and it required several policemen to take them to the station-house at King's-cross, where they were confined in separate cells under ground. Mary Bonner kicked and assaulted the policemen. During the night Bob Bonner. who was by himself in the cell, which was separated from that in which his wife was confined, made a most desperate attempt to escape, which nearly cost him his life. He contrived by some means or other to make an aperture through a strong partition, through which he forced his head and body ; but the aperture not being sufficiently large, he became locked in, and could not extricate him self by moving backwards or forwards, and in that situation he was discovered in a state of insensibility, and a doctor was procured, but it was a considerable time before he was restored to his senses. - The female prisoner was ordered to find bail, but Bonner was discharged. LAMBETH-STREET. On Thursday, a Jew, named Barnet Solomon, was brought before the Magistrates for final examination, on a charge of having, with others, broken into the Cross Keys public-house, Wentworth-street, and stealing therefrom property amounting to upwards of 101. Mr. Finny, the landlord, stated, that, on retiring to bed on the night of Tuesday week, he made all the doors se cure, and on coming down stairs on the following morning, he found that some thieves had forced the back door, and carried away a weather glass, a timepiece, a watch, and se veral packages of coppers from the bar and bar-parlour. The prisoner was in the habit of frequenting his house, and had been there late on the night of the robbery ; and the reason of h;s being apprehended, was on account of his being seen by a policeman lurking about his (Mr. Finny's) premises, with three or four others, at two, three, four, and five o'clock on the morning of the robbery. In reply to the questions of a solicitor, who appeared on the part of the prisoner, the witness admitted that, on the morn ing of the robbery, the prisoner came to his house, and expressed much sorrow for his loss. At that time he had not the slightest suspicion that he had any thing to do with the robbery, nor should he now if it had not been for what the policeman said. The other persons accused with the robbery, and who were then out of the way, also called at his house on the morning of the robbery, and on looking at the place where the thieves had effected an entrance, they said the robbery was not done by practised " cracks men," as they had done their work in a bungling manner. Police constable Denis Regan, H 22, deposed that on the night, or rather morning of the robbery, he saw the prisoner and three or four other suspicious characters lurk ing about the house of the prosecutor, and he frequently desired them to go away. In the cross-examination of this witness (who, it appears, has been nearly two years a policeman) by the prisoner's solicitor, it turned out that he had been tried at Guilford, in Surrey, in 1831, and found guilty of being a common utterer of base coin, and was sentenced to six months' im prisonment in the county gaol. This disclosure astounded a number of the police force who were present, and the prisoner, after some further in vestigation, was discharzed. QUEEN- of Q UA RE. On Thursday evening, Mr. I`►''':i. Heywood, a respec table corn-chandler residing in King-street, Hammersmith, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. John Payne, a neighbour, for maliciously shooting at his pigeons and kil ling two of them. Mr. King, another neighbour, had long viewed with envy the pigeons of Mr. Payne, in consequence of their being in a more thriving state than his own ; and to such an extent had this hostile feeling been carried, that he had actually proposed a certain reward for exterminating the race of pigeons belonging to his next door neighbour. Mrs. Lucy Robinson, a neighbour, on the Bth inst. saw Mr. Heywood pass her window accoutred as though it were the Ist of September ; his gun on his shoulder, and evi dently bent upon a war against the feathered tribe. He went into Mr. King's house, and in less than five minutes she heard two reports of a gun, and saw one of the pigeons falling from the chimney-top into the garden. More ha voc had been committed, but she could not depose further. Mrs. Henrietta Kirby, another neighbour, corroborated the evidence of the last - wittiess. The Magistrates ordered Mr. Heywood to pay a fine of 40s. and costs, in addition to the value of the pigeons, which was immediately paid. A man ,named William Haydon, a cadger of the first water, who, from his appearance, would be supposed to be in the greatest state of decrepitude, was brought up in custody, before Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL, by a gentleman named Olden, who bad given him in charge for begging. to 0 Mr • en said that the prisoner was a complete nuisance - -ne inhabitants of Grosvenor-place, Knightsbridge, and Brompton. His practice was to take his station before some respectable house, and endeavour to excite the charity of th e public by pinching a child, which he always carried with him, until it screamed frightfully..

Alexander asked him the cause of his melanchOlY - moOd, but the deceased declined to reply. He left abruptly, and went home. Having undressed himself, he went to bed. and cut his throat with a razor, which was found in the bed by his side. It was not discovered till the next morn ing, when the servant f oun d t h e b e d saturate d w i t h bl oo d. He was a widower, with four children whotly dependent upon him for support. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury retired to consider of their verdict. and having been a few moments absent, they returned into. the room, and delivered a verdict of " Te;npOrary derange ment." On Thursday evening an inquest was holden at the Black Horse Tavern, High-street, Poplar, before Mr. Baker, on view of the body of Henry Allen, a seaman, belonging to the Alfred, a West Indianian, who came by his death under the following circumstances : Prom the evidence it appeared, that on the previous morning, while the vessel was going down the river, and off Blackwall, a block, weighing 561 b., through the snapping of a link of the chain that supported it, fell from nearly the top of the mainmast, a distance of 70 feet, on the head of the deceased, who was unfortunately walking across the deck at the time, and instantly deprived him of life. No blame being attributable to any person, the Jury returned a . . - erdict of " Accidental Death." A second inquest was holden at the same place and time on the 60.:•. - of a middle-aged man, name unknown, which was picked out o' the river on the day before. The de ceased, who, from hL; dress, appeared to be a mechanic, had no property about him, of any thing that would lead to his identity, and there being no marks of violence about him, the Jury returned a verdict of " Drowned." ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOC:7TY, ARIL 13 COLONEL LEAKE IN THE CHAIR. At the preceding meeting, R. E. Murchison, Esq., in the chair, a communication was read from Mr. Pentland on the physical configuration of the Andes, including that. portion of South America between three degrees and 27 degrees south latitude. A description was given of the celebrated lake Titicaca, which is from 3,500 to 5,000 square miles in extent, situate at a height of about 14,000 feet (or equal to that of the Pyrenees) above the surface of the sea. The water in this lake is brackish, and it is supposed that it must not only derive its supply, but that this supply must also be again dissipated from it byevapo ration, the only outlet being through a ravine of the ama zing depth of 18,000 feet, from whence it proceeds, as a small stream, a distance of 120 miles, where it is finally lost in a small lake. An island in the centre of th e lake was formerly abounding with Peruvian antiquities, contain ing one of their great temples of religious worship, though on the final overthrow of this great and unfortunate nation by their savage conquerors, they destroyed almost every vestige, by throwing them into the lake. The lower limit of perpetual snow Mr. Pentland assigned as 15,720 feet. The paper took notice of several important geographical observations, which Mr. Pentland has made during his sur vey, he having determined the situation of upwards of se venty places, the position of which had been previously inaccurate or uncertain. Captain M'Konochie next proceeded to read a report that had been furnished by Mr. Woodbine Parish, written by M. Hanke, a German, who was sent out, by the Kin.- of Spain, on a special mission to Peru, for the purpose of inquiring into the then state of the mines, with the plans of working them, but who died in Bolivia. The paper was dated 1799, and was an official document forwarded to the Spanish Government. The writer states that the interior portion of this part of the continent, between the same la titudes of 3 deg. and 27 deg., are but little known on ac count of the alniost inseparable barrier which the Andes interposes, the great heats, venomous insects and reptiles, and the, unknown and uncivilized tribes which inhabit it. Whatever is known has been attained by following the course of the rivers which have burst the natural boun daries, which otherwise would wholly preclude inquiry. The difficulty of crossing the Andes has rendered the produc tions of the interior almost valueless, at least twice en hancing their cost. The productions of the province of Chiquitos must be carried a distance of 200 leagues to Lima, or 600 leagues to Buenos Ayres, before they are available, and the communication being _ necessarily imperfect and rude, it is no wonder that hitherto - this should have been confined to the precious metals and stones. To the false and unnatural system long carried on by the mother country was to be ascribed the apathy of the inhabitants, which had prevented their endeavouring to better their condition, or avail themselves fully of the advantages of their soil. The most interesting part of the communication was that which related to the numerous sources of the Amazons—this sea of fresh water traversing more than 1,000 leagues across the country, and watering all the provinces of Peru. This was deeribed as offering the means of opening a commtinicaiion between Europe and the interior, the rivers being navigable to a great ex tent, and the falls being too trifling to impede the pas-sage of vessels. The productions of the country are very ri3h, consisting of gold, cocoa, cotton, indig o , sarsaparilla, and cascarilla, cinchona barks, and a variety of gums and spices, not inferior to those of the East ; and besides these advan tages, a knowledge of the interior might bring to civiliza tion and Christianity the many unknown tribes who inhabit it. Captain 111‘Ketiechicstated, that alth o u g h the date of the paper was by no means'recent, yet, in fact, it embodied all that was known upon the subject. The Bolivian Con sul, who was in the room, pointed out the several positions on the map, as they were referred to by the Se cretary , and by him we were informed, that his Government had offered a premium of 20,000 dollars to the first steam-boat which should penetrate the highest up the rivers Maranham, Ma deira; or any other branches of the Amazons. Captain M'Konochie next proceeded to read so me ex tracts of a letter received last Saturday from Captain Alexander, who is now exploring the southern parts of Africa, dated Cape Town, 20th January, 1833. He had just received information that the Foulahs had obtained possession of Delagoa Bay, having fallen upon and surprised the Governor and Staff at a considerable loss of life to the Portuguese. The Caffres had hitherto been very successful in their attack oa the colonists, and Colonel Somerset had retreated to Graham's Town, the force under his command not being sufficient to repel them. The quarrel had arisen from the old Commando's system of retaliation upon a tribe who had committed a robbery upon a settler, but so fearful had been the system of the Caffres in return, that it had bcon calculated that 50,000 head of cattle and 1,500 of horses, with sheep innummerable, had been lost to the colonists. The unsettled state of the country preventing the prosecution of his researches, he had resolved at pre sent to join the expedition. He had just heard of the existence of a large body of water, two day's journey west of Matakoo, which had been communicated to him by a native chief. There are many streams which run into it, some of which are about a quarter of a mile wide. The people who inhabit the borders of the lake are a Macoobah tribe of Caffres, dressing like Bitchuanhas. They make boats about eighteen feet long and five wide, for the purpose of navigating the lake, and•these are con structed of boards fastened together with wooden pins. He described. the passage across the lake to take from six to eight hours, and that when in the middle they could see no land, not even the highest mountains in the vicinity. Their current medium of exchange is hunches of beads, though it is not known from whence these are obtained. They are very affable to strangers, and no men are stolen in the country for slaves. They are tattoed on the nose. The country contains a good deal of copper and iron, and ele phants are likewise numerous. A larger collection of water s said to be within a short distance. In the room, amongst many other geographical contribu tions, we noticed a map of the United States, by Mr. Lay, an American hydrographer, which excited much approba tion, from the minuteness and apparent accuracy of its de tails. It has received the approbation of the British Asso ciation at its last meeting, and since of several high geogra phical names. • A patient in the Hospital, Brighton, named .Richard Reed, put a period to his life by suspending himself from the pully of his bed on Monday last. He had been long suf fering from a spinal complaint, and various acts of mental aber ration having been adduced in evidence, the Coroner's Inquest returned a verdict of Insanity. _ _ _ ROBBERIES.—One of those robberies of late so numerous, in which houses have been plundered without traces being discoverable of the means by which the thieves gained access, was committed a night or two ago on the premises of Mr. Born, landlord of the Crown Inn, Smithfield. Market, near Hosier-lane. Mr. Born on retiring to rest, left every --grt of the house apparently well secured, but on coming down the next morning he was surprised to find that the shutters which s.—arpted the bar from the rooms below had been torn down, and rirawers in the bar forced open, evidently with two chisels which th- thieves had left behind. In the one drawer used as the 0r,....:ary till, there was only a small quan tity of copper money, the having been taken out at night by Mr. Born, and, according to i. i custom, carried up stairs. Unfortunately in the other drawer was a 1-ag containing about forty sovereigns, which Mr. Born had for k , :`ten. This the thieves possessed themselves of, but left the cooker behind. The .bad likewise the self-command to refrain from the i eating liquors around them. From the iron bar cn the insiuc of the street door being taken down, and the bolt withdrawn, it is evident they made their escape that way, shutting the door after them. How they got in can be only conjectured. On careful inspection, frontward and rearward, there was not the slightest trace to be found of a breaking in; neither were there any lodgers in the house who could. have- admitted thorn, and it is believed that the thieves were acquainted with the intericr of the house, and, aware that Mrs. Born and part of the family were absent, had stept into an unoccupied room'or place, aed there remained till a _convenient time for effecting the robbery bad arrived. .;zl:r i. -- -----__Ll_u weam Navigation Company, 69, Lomb ar d - s treet.
