The whole of the corn, flour, anu, machinery were destroyed, and the loss is estimated $l. 200,000 francs.—On Monday the commune of Quincarno n was the scene of a violent conflagration. The flames burs t forth in a building next to a smith's forge, at four in the day, Eight houses were consumed, with a quantity of furniture, an some cattle, and it was twelve o'clock at night before the fire could be got under.—On the 12th a fire burst forth at Beßingo' hausen, near Wursburg, in Germany. The dryness of th e season rendered it impossible to obtain water, and the inhabit ants being in the fields, forty houses were consumed before the flames could be extinguished. The Journal des Chemins de Fee of Saturday pub' lishes a letter, addressed by Mr. Brunel to the Royal Railroad, Company from Genoa to Piedmont, and to the frontiers 0' Lombardy. In this letter Mr. Brunel summarily sta tes the, result of his surveys, undertaken in order to determine t he best line for the projected road. After the most minute i n cestigle tions, he has acquired the conviction that the railway offers si° difficulties which his experience cannot easily conquer. I ,° the distance which separates Genoa from the fr o n t ier tow ards Milan, and which may be evaluated at 120 kilometres ( 3 , 0 , French leagues), 25 only run through a rough and dif ficult country, and out of this number 15 at most present serious but not insuperable obstacles. The remainder of the line will pass over the most favourable ground. Thus the passage ° the Apennines, the name of which, as Mr. Brunel remarks. sounds so awfully to an English ear, is formidable only to sit inattentive and unskilful observer, and all the conditions for the inclines and curves will be accomplished without extraor their arrangements the trustees of Gurney wrote to the de fendant, informing him of what had taken place, and request ing the payment of the above amount, as they had undertaken to pay their prinicipal's losses at the ensuing Houghton Meet ing-. The result of this communication was, that the defendant gave four several bills, payable at different periods. Of these bills the one forming the subject of the present action was one, the first of the series having been regular* paid on its arrival at maturity. Between that period, however, and the day on which the present bill had become due, the de fendant had been informed that the trustees had failed in their performance of the agreement with respect to the payment of some of Mr. Gurney's bets, and he, consequently, having given the bills upon the faith of that promise, declined to ho nour the second of the bills. The main ground of defence was—first, that the plaintiff had not given consideration for the bill ; and that if he had, then that he had done so with the full knowledge of the cir cumstances under which the bill had been given. The witness who was called to establish these facts, however, distinctly proved that the plaintiff had discounted the bill for him, re taining only the amount of interest, at the rate of 5 per cent,; and he further stated that the plaintiff, at the time of the dis count, was totally ignorant of the nature of the bill, or under what circumstances it had been given—namely, that it had been given in part payment of a gambling debt. The Jury, the defendant having thus failed in proving his pleas, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 3071., including interest. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR,—I take the liberty of sending you the follow mg circular, in order that the public Press may see the view which the Yorkshire coal masters take of the Bill now in Parliament respecting Mines, and, in vite your observations thereon; at the same time I oeg to express a hope that y?u strongly deprecate the hasty legislation observable in passing this Bill. To show that the coal masters and colliers am not all the degraded set that they have been represented to be, I beg to refer you to Mr. Symon's Report, pages 201, 272, and 290.—1 remain, &c. HENRY BRIGGS. Overfon, near Wakefield, June 18, 1842. At the sitting of the Court of Assizes for the Vos ges, held at Epinal, on the 9th inst., a shepherd, who was known by the name of Jacob Mayer, was tried for robbery, attended with an attempt to murder, under the following circumstances :—On March 15, Francoise, the wife of a wooden-shoemaker, named Corniot, living at Miclrevaux, set out alone early in the morning to walk to Neufchateau, to make some pur chase. As she passed along she was observed by Mayer, ' who was keeping his sheep near the road, and, judging from her appearance that she was richer than she really was, determined to waylay her on her return. Between four and five in the afternoon he saw her coming back, and immediately, and without ad dressing a word to her, gave her a violent blow on her head with his crook, and knocked her down, continuing to beat her, not only with the same weapon, but also with large stones picked from the road,. and, finding that he had not yet killed her, he stamped upon her chest with his iron shod shoes. Having thus reduced her to a state of in sensibility, he dragged her off the road to a retired spot, took from her person all the money and other articles of any value she had about her, and left her, believing her to be dead. Night coming on without her re-appearance'at home, her family became alarmed, and went out in search of her. At eleven o'clock they found her lying where Mayer had left her, covered with gore her head, her hands, her arms, and her whole person exhibiting the effects of the violent treatment she had received, and the strug gles she had made in her own defence. Still she breathed, and was carried home. With great skill and care she was restored to her senses, and, after a time, was able to relate all the circumstances above related, giving an accurate description of her assail ant. Two shepherds were arrested and brought into her presence ; she recognised Mayer, who was de tained, and the other man released. On further exa mination, the blouse ofMayer exhibited stains of blood, and also spots from some syrup of gum, evidently from a bottle of that liquid, which Francoise Corniot had brought with her from Neufchateau, and was broken in the conflict: Fragments of the bottle were found on the spot, and also marks of the liquid were perceptible on some of the stones used by the assassin to consummate his crime, and, particularly on one he had placed on her cap, which had come off in the struggle, to prevent its being blown back to the road, and thereby betray the spot to which he had dragged the body. It was also observed that the iron of his crook had been newly filed, either to take out some notches made by his desperate use of it, or to obliterate the traces of blood. All these concurring circum stances, added to the depositions of Francoise Cor niot, were so damning, that Mayer, at length, confessed his crime, and pointed out the place where he had concealed the money of which he had robbed her. This confession, he repeated at his trial ; Francoise Corniot also appeared as a witness against him, being sufficiently recovered to go into Court, but still in a state to convince all who saw her that her health was ruined for ever, and probably her life shortened. Yet, such was the stolidity of Mayer, that he did not show the slightest sign of remorse on seeing the lamentable condition to which he had reduced her. The jury pronounced him guilty, but added that there were extenuating circumstances, and consequently the Court could only sentence him to hard labour for life at the hulks. He received his judgment with the same insensibility he had displayed throughout. THURSDAY'S SALE. This sale closed yesterday, at Mr. George Robins's rooms, with Walpole's collection of the works of William Hogarth. A great number of buyers were present, and some of the lots sold well.

Among the works of Hogarth the only subjects calling for notice were— CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. Wakefield, June 14, 1842. As the organ of the Coal and Iron Masters' Asso ciation of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it becomes my duty to transmit to you the following observations on the subject of:the Bill now before Parliament, for regulating and. restricting the employment of females and young persons in Mines: Anxious as the owners of mines in this district are to co-operate with Parliament in remedying acknow ledged evils and abuses, they are, at the same time, alarmed at the prospect of the inevitable hardships and distress which the Bill, in its present shape, will occasion ; and they earnestly entreat your attentive consideration of the following statements, which are founded on the experience of practical men, and which embody the opinions both of the employers and em ployed. The majority of the coalowners of this district have long lamented the practice of employing females and very young children in mines : and while they are fully sensible of the temporary suffering which must necessarily be occasioned by their exclusion, yet they have felt it to be their duty to discourage, as much as possible, the introduction of wom?n, and of very young persons, of either sex, into the pits. The fol lowing extract, from a Report agreed to by the owners of coal and iron-stone mines, assembled at Wakefield, on the 21st of May, 1841, shows that the good intentions of Parliament were actually in some degree anticipated, more than a year ago, by the masters themselves :—" They recommend. the adop tion, by the whole body of the coalowners, of such measures as are within their power ; and amongst the first, they would point to the exclusion of females and of children under eight years of age,"—and this re commendation has lately been followed up by a specific resolution. With respect to the,age at which males should be admitted into mines, the members of this Association have unanimously agreed to fix it at eight years ; and they appeal to the testimony of numerous wit nesses in the Commissioners' Report, to prove that colliers seldom attain the requisite proficiency in their trade, unless they enter the pits when young. In the thin coal-mines, it is more especially requisite that boys, varying in age from eight to fourteen, should be employed, as the underground roads could not be made of sufficient height for taller persons without :ncurring an outlay so great as to render the working of such mines unprofitable. Appendix B. of Mr. Symon's Report, shows that out of eighty collieries inspected by him, forty-four were worked in seams of three feet thick, and under, tnd in such seams, a majority of the persons employed nust necessarily be of low stature. By the enactment of clause 2, in Lord Ashley's Bill, on referring to the statistical table in the Corn fnissioners' Report, it will be found that 99 females and 246 males, in every 1,345 persons employed in this coal field, will be thrown out of employment; tnd in the thin coal mines the proportion will be ouch larger ; for in one particular concern near Wakefield, in which 431 persons are employed un lerground, 89 are females, varying from nine to forty /ears old, and 82 are males under thirteen years of .ge. In this instance, therefore, (and it is only one ase amongst many), 171 individuals, out of 431, will , 43 deprived of their employment by the proposed '3ill, and left without any other apparent means of obtaining a livelihood. • . At the present moment, a majority of the coal mines )f this district are working not more than three or our days in each week, and the population are, con equentLy, in a state of great poverty and distress. What, th m, would be the condition of a miner's fa nily, if deprived, by the Legislature, of the weekly wages produced by the industry of the boys, in addi tion to thdse earned by the females ? The coalowners fully admit the vast importance of noral and intellectual training, as a means of im troving the social condition of the population, and hey would be rejoiced to see it more general ; but hey cannot conc e i ve any thi ng more injurious to the ising generatio n th an t h e per i o d o f 7ou th s pent in tter idleness. The whole of a collier s family under hirteen years old will, if turned out of the pits, be mtirely dependent on the scanty earnings of the arent, for food, clothing, and instruction: Those !tunings alone are barely sufficient to procure even bod for their children, without mentioning wearing pparel and education. bat, then, will be the probable condition of the .hildren under thirteen years of age, after the passing Lord Ashley's Bill, in its present form?

COUNT BATHYANY. Mr. PLATT applied to the Court to postpone this cause, which stood second on the list, on the following grounds :—lt appeared by the pleas that Eleanor Sutor had an annuity of 3001. a-year conveyed to trustees for her benefit, and that she was the real plaintiff in the cause. Her evidence therefore became necessary, and a subricena was issued to bring her before the Court, and also Mary Ann Smith, who was another necessary witness. This subpcena was placed in the hands of a person named Croly, on whose affidavit the application was founded. He swore that on the 17th of June, he went to Miss Sutor's house, 13, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, and the servant having taken up his name, came down and told him that Miss Sutor was ill in bed, and that as his business was known, she would not see him. He called again on the 23d of June, and was informed that Miss Sutor was eta of town in Devonshire, and would not return for some days. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Platt) hoped the cause would be postponed. Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, said he did not think there were any just grounds for the postponement of the trial. It was very near coming on yesterday, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and it was never hinted that such an application was to be made. Notice ought to have been given of the intention to !nuke this application, and then ho would have been prepared with an answer. With regard to Mary Ann Smith, he believed she was now in attendance, and with regard to Miss Sutor, he believed she was to be seen every day on horseback, in the parks, and therefore there were no good grounds for postponing the trial. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—The nature of the plea is such, that she might be a material witness, and it is sworn that the servant said she was gone to Devonshire. You must, answer the affidavit in the course of the day. The cause cannot be tried to-day. The Special Jury summoned on the case, were then discharged till further notice. di arylabour. As the King was lately proceeding to Fontaine' bleau, escorted by a detachment of the Bth Dragoons, a veter s 7 marechal-de-logis, named Moller, happened in the rapiditY ° " the journey to lose his cross.

This officer is to be commissioned by the Minister of Marino to inspect at least once in two years the corps of In fantry belonging to the navy employed in the military harbours of the kingdom or in its transatlantic establish ments. By another ordinance of the 16th inst., the King raised to the rank of Naval Field-Marshal de la Fitte de Soucy, Colonel of the "Marine Infantry" (for such is the title of that arm in France). STATE OF TILE NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—The bob bin net trade, both of fancy and and plain nets, is in a most lamentably stagnant state, and scarcely any nets can be dis posed of, except the very best fancy patterns. The lace trade is rapidly leaving Nottingham. Never at any time was the exportation of machinery so extensive ; as, from the best in formation we can obtain, eleven machines will leave for various destinations this week. We have a letter, signed S. Bishop, from Calais, dated June 20, assuring us, that in Calais at the present time; there are no less than sixty men in the lace trade out of work, many of whom have left decent situations in Not tingham, with an idea of getting work there.—Nottinghain Review. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—(Proma Correspondent.) —Mr. White's large boa constrictor, which escaped from the menagerie, and was missing for seventeen days, returned to his cage at half-past eleven o'clock on Friday morning. The wall he got over is twenty feet high. The keeper thinks he slept in the long grass in Hyde Park, and at night climbed the trees. Mr. White, the proprietor. sent several of his servants to search the sewers and drains in the Park. The Humane Society men were also on the look-out for the stranger, in expectation of a large reward. A soldier at the Magazine said he saw him at the barracks in Hyde Park, but was so frightened that he lost all power to take him. The length of the boa constrictor is eight fret. • • • BEHOLD THE PERFECT MAN ! — On Thurs d ay tnere was presented to the House of Commons, a petition thus de scribed in its Votes:—" Blasphemy—Petition of Charles Bradley, for a law declaring it blasphemy in any , one who shall teach anything contrary to sound doctrine. Who is Charles Bradley ? And, oh ! tell us what " sound doc trine." Rome says she is infallible, and has it: The Pro testant denounces the Romanist as an idolater, Ind, thrusting an Act of Parliament in your face, vows his is the "sound" doctrine. SCotland kicks off Episcopacy, and proclaims it to be there. The Unitarians, towering above them all, proclaims, " I have found it—l have found it!" De not let it be sup posed that we treat the glorious truths of Christianity with the remotest irreverence; but, while we cherish and held fast by the sacred volume, we trust it may not yet be blasphemy to smile at Charles Bradley's prayer fur another page of ridiculous legislation.—Morning Advertiser. LIGHT/GOLD Coml.—Since our last publication a change has been made in this place much to the public advan tage relating to light gold. The Branch Bank of England at Leeds has been empowered by the Directors of the Bank of England to receive sovereigns and half-sovereigns that are not of due weight, at the value of 3/. 17e. .101 d. per ounce, and it is found that on an average the sovereigns are worth in this way 19s. 9d., and the half-sovereigns 9s. 10d., so that the loss does not exceed 3d. each upon the former and 2d. upon the latter. For some time the Branch Bank only received this coin from the other banks in payments amounting to 3,000 sovereigns, and from shopkeepers and others in sums amount ing to 50 and upwards, and that only from their customers ; but now they receive as small amounts as 20 sovereigns and up wards, giving in exchange either Bank notes or gold of proper weight. In this way the light gold will find its way back to the Mint without any very heavy loss to the holders, and we hope without any further interruption to trade. The other banks not having the same facilities as the Branch Bank of England, receive the light sovereigns at a deduction of 6d. each, and the half-sovefeigns in the same proportion. The practice of tradesmen is various, but it is probable that the deduction will not generally, now that these facilities are afforded, exceed 3d. in the poun4. Sovereigns are not required to turn the scale ; they are weight if they are an exact balance with it, and cannot be legally refused at their full value of 20s. —Leeds Mercury.

The New Hamburgh Gazette publishes a long P eti tion to the King of Prussia from the merchants of Itisenigsberst: in which, after expressing doubts as to the disposition of 11 " ' to to come to any satisfactory arrangement for putting a n ends' _ the prohibitive system between the two countries, they that the Convention between the two Government s for 1.0 surrender of deserters may not be renewed, as it has be.....„` attended with afflicting circumstances.

'the petitioners conclude by ober' to that they would rather have none of the promised advantsgoo of a commercial treaty, if this disgraceful Conven tion, 8 deserters, is to be the basis of it. d e THE FRENCH CUSTOM-HOUSE.—The Jour , h , l' Arrondissement du Havre mentions that a poor Ens woman, arriving last week with four children, all o,ling clothed as herself, to join her husband, who is world'or nu the Paris and Rouen railway, was thrown into to pair by of the employes at the Havre Custom-°oa seizing on two coarse woollen blankets which sliu t i t ti brought over to wrap her children in.

Prices remain firm. The unnatural flatness in most branches of trade, and the universally disastrous state of the country, is manifestly seriously affecting the demand for sugar, sustained at an exorbitant price to support a destructive monopoly, the classes who principally consume it becoming daily more straitened in their means of purchasing so expensive a commodity, Two cargoes, 600 hhds. from Trinidad, and 500 hhds. from Jamaica, have been received during the week.—Bristol Mercury. The Belfast Northern Whig says that, after all, an attempt will be made by the manager to "settle up" this ugly affair on the terms of the compromise, by which Mr. E. 'ferment will still be secured his seat. Mr. O'Connell should look to this. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. JUVENILE PICKTOCIETS.—Two diminutive-looking boys, apparently under twelve years of age, were placed at the bar before the sitting Alderman, on the charge of picking pockets in Fleet-street. t IThe constable stated that, about 10 on Saturday morning, he observed the prisoners following a gentleman up towards Lud gate-hill, and knowing them to be thieves, he watched them until he saw the elder take a handkerchief from the gentleman's pocket. On perceiving that he was observed, he immediately passed it to the other, who ran away up St. Bride's-passage, but, after a smart chase, was taken on Blackfriars Bridge. The gentleman who ownedthe handkerchief came to the station house, and promised to attend to prosecute, but he was not at present in Court. Tho worthy ALDERMAN having been informed that they were known far some years to the police as pickpockets and " area sneaks," committed each of them to Br►dewell for three months. On Friday morning a fine young woman, twenty one years of age, named Jones, residing with her mother, a laundress, living in Swan-lane, near London-bridge, expired from having swallowed a large quantity of arsenic on the night of Monday last. The matter has been kept a profound secret by the family, and there is not the slightest doubt but the body would have been interred without any inquiry taking place, had not information of the case reached the ears of the proper authorities, who lost no time in waiting on the City Coroner who has issued his warrant for holding the inquest. Not The Lady Mary Wood arrived at Southampton on Friday, from Lisbon.. The mails were landed at Fal mouth, and will be delivered on Monday. The advices from Lisbon are to the 20th inst. The elections for Deputies to the Cortes had commenced on the preceding day. The Government candidates had been returned in Oporto and the two Douro distridts, in the Beira Alta and Baina, in Tras-os-Montes, and in the Algarves. The Estremadura (Lisbon district) elections were most vigorously contested, and it was quite impossible to pre dict the result, either at Lisbon or at Evora, although, on the entire elections, the Government, it was said, would have a majority of three to one. The commercial and slave-trade treaties remained still unsigned, the delay being attributable to squabbles about the force of cer tain words and phrases in translating the English draught sent from Downing-street into Portuguese. On Tuesday the Duke of Orleans and Prince Ber nard de Saxe-Weimar visited tIM Depot - General of the War Department. Lieut.-General Pelet, the Director in-Chief of the establishment, accompanied by the heads of the several sections, accompanied them through the building. In the room which contains the archives and correspondence relating to the various wars of France, Louis XI V. downwards, Prince Bernard examined with great interest several of the documents relating to the Grand Army and the Emperor Napoleon, having himself served with the, French troops at that period. The two Princes afterwards visited the military library, which each officer in the French service is entitled to consult on all matters relating to the art of war. The room in which the new map of France is executed—from the re duction of the scale in which the surveys are made to the engraving on copper—excited great interest, a n d sets of the principal maps hi t h er to completed wer e pre sented to the illustrious visitors. The collection of maps and plans in manuscript, some relating to fields of battle and others to the various countries in Europe, as well as those made during the expedition to Egypt, were also aninuteli , inspected. BOth visitors'expressedthem st lres highly grsdned with their visit. slightest reason is at present given for the rash act. The Minister of Commerce, on the application of the Prefect of the Ardennes, has granted 6,000 f. towards the reliefof the sufferers trom the fire at Tourterou. The adjourned meeting under tho fiat of bank ruptcy issued against Mr. Edlin, late landlord of the Gloucester Hotel, was held at the Town-hall, on Thursday, and after the bankrupt had undergone a further examination, the Commis sioners expressed their intention of allowing him to pass. Previous to this, however, it was necessary that the bank rupt should go througn the form of giving up his watch and what money he had on his person. This he did, and laid his watch c,n the table. As the assignees were not satisfied with his conduct, the article was retained ; but, on examination, it was found to be of very inferior value to the watch which had b ee❑ given up by the bankrupt at his first examination, and which had been returned to him. Under these circumstances, the Commissioners determined on delaying the final passing of the bankrupt till the audit meeting in December.—Brighton Herald. litArLwAy Axucs.—At a recent meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. C. Hood, in a valuable paper which he read, broached boldly an original view of the causes of fracture of railv:ay axles, and hence the cause of many serious accidents on railways. It was contended that any bar of iren, even of the most fibrous and tough character, being sub jected, when cold, to percussive action, would assume a crys tallized texture, and eventually break ; that this would be mate rially hastened by the effects of partial heat and magnetism ; that the effect of vibration is most sensibly felt in the imme diate proximity of the cause of it ; that this tough and fibrous character of wrought iron is produced by art, and in all the changes that have been described we see an effort at returning to the natural and crystalline structure common to a large number of metals, and that the rotating of railway axles ren ders them peculiarly subject to this influonce. The ar guments were illustrated by many practical examples and specimens of iron broken under various circumstances. LIST of SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES JUNE 18, 1842. BANKS.

It would be for the Jury to consider how far the evidence tended to exculpate sonic of the prisoners from having participated directly in the attack on the deceased, but if they were satisfied of their having been present at the time, the law considered them equally guilty, unless they had merely joined in the disturbance after the police were knocked down and in jured; in that case they would be dealt with by another tri bunal. The Jury having retired, in about two hours returned a verdict of ss Wilful Murder" against C'iarles Dwyer, and Jeremiah aid William Driier, as a ccessories ; and acquitted Gallagher, Donovan, and Regan, who will appear before the Magiatralee to answer the charge of assaulting the police in the ezecution of their duty. On Wednesday last, a young man, dressed with elegance, entered the shop of a hair-dresser, in the Fau bourg St. Antoine, and, after having been shaved, placed him self before a glass to hare his hair dressed. Whilst the hair dresser, who had been curling his hair, had stepped for a moment into the bacl—room to fetch some water, tee young man seized a razor and cut his throat. On the return of the hair-dresser, he obtained assistance, and the young man was conveyed to the Hospital Saint Antoine, but with slight hopes of recovery. He was able, however, to write down on a paper that h 3 was a Belgian, named Louis Dertresse, and that he had been driven to the commission of the act by domestic callunity. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. footman t Upper Major Smith was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, for an p a p n e r was, Brook-street. that a t a assaultupon William Fr aser , a f oo t ma n, in the service of a lady named The s lngram, tatemen r t e o s i f d t i h n e g ball on Tuesday evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms, his mistress's coach man pulled in before Major Smyth's cab ; that Major Smyth was angry at this, as he claimed the precedence on account of being in the suite of the Prince of Capua, whose carriage had just preceded him; that on Major Stnyth going up to the win dow of his mistress's carriage for the purpose of obtaining the name, he (complainant) tendered a card with his mistress's name and address on it, which card was knocked out of his band by the Major. While stooping to pick up the card he received a blow front Major Smyth, and this so far irritated him as to make him say to Major Smyth, G o t o __." Major Smyth then struck complainant several more blows, and this constituted the assault. Major Smyth, in explanation, said it was the etiquette to give way to Royal carriages, and of course to those carriages in their suite. He was following the Prince of Capua's car riage, when another carriage • • drove in before him. Finding the servants in altercation, he interfered, upon which the com plainant called out insolently " Who the are you ?" De fendant left his cab and went up to the carriage to get the lady's name. The complainant continuing his insolence, thrust a parcel of cards before him, which defendant admitted ho knocked out of the man's hands. The man then made use of a vulgar expression which no gentleman could brook, and de fendant struck him. Major Smyth's servant proved that the words " Go to —" were used by the footman, before he was struck by his master. Mr. Ha KIDWICK was of opinion that so mach provocation had been used towards Major Smyth by the complainant, as in a great measure to excuse the assault.—Complaint dismissed. ROBBERY 'BY A SERVANT.—Mary Robinson and Rebecca Smith, middle-aged females, of respectable and matronly ap pearance, were charged with the following robbery. The prisoner Robinson had been a few weeks in the service of Mr. James Easterbourne Rossiter, of No. 5, Pall-mall, silk mercers, and during that tithe Mr. Rossiter had reason to believe that numerous bottles of very choice wine were, at intervals Dot far between, extracted frons his' cellar, but by whet means he could not ascertain, as he kept the only key in his own pos- Mien, elad no trace of any porta hiving entered the cellar, 60% 12\ 12% 75 30. 2 8' 514 5 0 9..4 254
