BURGLARIES IN THE CITY. MANTSION HOUSE.—Two youngmen, named Mart hi and Cook, were examined before the Lox) MA von, upon a charge of burglary. For some time past thd, City has been unusually free from depredations of this nature; but all at once ware houses and dwelling-houses have beta broken open. With re spect to Cook, a watchman belonging to flishopsgate Ward, deposed, that very late on Sunday right last, as he was going his rounds he observed a man standirg near the house of Mr. Stott, the oilman, 'of Ilishopsgate-street. On witness's ap: proach he reeled about, and pretended to be very drunk ; hot when witness walked up close to him, he suddenly took to his heels and fled with astonishing rapidi*, Witness, on looking about observed the flap of Mr. Stott', cellar raised, and at the same moment the prisoner Cook pa: his head out, but, the watchman drove him back and then jumped upon the •flap, and called for assistanc e . He afterwa r l s found Cook concealed in a corner of the cellar. A great mmber of picklock keys, and other burglarious apparatus, were PtaTauptin theprentisg. Cnok in hislitTence declared, that he was going home early on Sunday morning, and In pamtin g through Bishopsgate-street fell through the trap-door, which doebtlevs some bad character had pulled open, and left . so. He was trying to get out of the disagreeable situation, when the watchman•walked up, and vil. lanously shut him down, until others came to hisaid, and then the story of robbery was made out, and he was bought to the watchhouse as a housebreaker. The prisoner, after this account of the busbies, gave an ad. dress and very confidently s pok e of hi s respeetwility and the proof of it; but the officers were told upon inquity that no such person resided in the neighbourhood. The LORD MAYOR told the prisoner Cook, tlat a Jury must judge of the probability of the truth of his stay ; but he ap prehended they would account for the occurrence in some other way. Cook was fully committed. Martin was examined finally on a charge of }making into the house of Messrs. Robson and Co. stationers, of Tower-street. The prisoner had been seized by a soldier as he was running tom a bulk which was before Mr. Itobson's shop window. A hole had been made in the partition between the bulk and the shop, and a vast number of housebreaking implements were found in the bulk. Two other men who had, it was believed, been in the bulk, escaped. After the prisoner's apprehension his lodgings were searched, and a quantity of stamps and sta tionary was found there. This property was identified by Mr. Whitaker, of Walbrook, as having been stolen from his warehouse, which was broken open a short time ago. Tito strong box had been hrokcs open, but it happened to contain but little cash. Collins, the beadle, got into the house at the top, but did not succeed in apprehending the thieves. The soldier who apprehended the prisoner had a desperate conflict with him, for Martin was determined to make a last effort, and both of them were rolling in the mud when assist ance arrived. The soldier had pounced upon the prisoner equally determined not to be disappointed. The soldier appeared to give evidence under arrest. Lie bad been unable to account satisfactorily for his long absence on the night of the burglary to the Captain of his company, and upon appearing at tile guard-room after his exertions, was put under immediate arrest. The Lonn M.synit said, that he regretted extremely , to see a man who behaved so well on the occasion of the burglary un der arrest. He requested that the serjeant would state to the Commanding Officer the nature of the services rendered by the soldier, and that in all probability his abscence was caused by the part which he had taken on the occasion of such im portance. The serjeant said he had nothing to do but take care of his prisoner. He also observed that his prisoner had absented fihnself upon forme r occasions, and begged that the Lord Mayor would himself apply to the Commanding Officer upon the subject. The prisoner said nothing, and was ,fully committed for the two burglaries. • The prisoner has since his confinement given a history of the late burglaries in the City. He has been thr some time con nected with a desperate gang of housebreakers, and has within one year been concerned in no less than nineteen burglaries. On some of the occasions he said the thieves obtained some booty, hut no where to a great amount • the police regulations of the City often b a ffl e d t h e i r plans. ft is feared that the pri soner's disclosure, thou gh very compl ete , w ill b e o f li tt l e ser vice against the parties implicated. During the examination, at which many of the prisoner's friend s were present, a snuff: box was stolen from a gentleman's pocket in the Justice-room. On the preceding day the pocket of another person was picked of a handkerchief, while the Lord Mayor was admonishing some culprits. ih order - that he might exonerate • himself, which he could het", Most,eonipletelY. Bradtield,--He could have done no such thing. lam able to establiSh the charge most completely. Mr. IlAnstEn.•—Then the informations were laid- at your instance ? Mr. Bradfield—Certainly ; I have ne hesitation in admitting it ; and I should have laid them myself, but that it happens I am myself a material Witness, and I could not be.informer and ialess too. Mr. HARMER—I repeat that there is notthe least foUndation for 'the chap against Mr. Perry ; and Imust observe that it is really shaMeful that a man should be going about' the- town piitting respectable tradesmen to expence and trouble, and tra ducing their character without any just cause whatsoever. Mr. Bradfield--I repeat that I have good ground of com plaint. The practices I charge against Mr. Perry are s. Mr. 11,mm:it—Sir, You shall not stand there and traduce My client, who is as respectable a rum as any - Mr. Bradfield was replying, When he was stopped by Air. HALLS, who said he would not have accusations bandied about on either. side. Mr. King had withdrawn the infortha tiOn, and that was quite sufficient. Mr. King upon hearing this said, " Certainly, Sir ;" anti turning' upon his heel he hastened out - of the office, remarking as he went, ". am poor, it is true, but I am not yet' an in.- • • • former." At Mr. Mirmer's request the informations were impounded, in order that he might, if he those, take steps against Mr. Bradfield (we suppose for a malicious prosecution). Mr. Bradfield, on the other hand, declared he would,exhibit fresh informations • and here the matter rests - for the present. t LnitALL.---Vesterday two young fellows named.

Herdsfield, the officer, came up, and knowing Callaghan to be a notorious character, and seeing Bromley, whom he also knew, close behind the truck, he followed. .At the instant of turning up a street, the robbery was effected, so that the officer did not see it ; but Bromley appeared in a moment running off with the sugar, and was secured by - Herdstield, and souse of the passengers seized Calliwhan. The prisoners denied all know .edge of each other. Harrison, the Illarshalman, being asked ithe knew Callaghan, who had just offered his address, and laid claim to being a respectable journeyman shoemaker, re plied, he did, very well. He was a noted thief—a dragsman. A . constable of St. Sepulchre's also recognized bins as an old customer—he used to say he was a shoemaker. As no act of concert between the prisoners could be sworn to, Bromley was committed for the robbery, and Callaghan as a common thief, for three months to the House of Correction. Manr.nortouen-STREET.--- Yesterday a middle-aged wo man applied for a warrant, under the following circumstanus : She stated her name to be Susannah M'Quilkin, a married woman, whose husband was at presient in the country.; she had been for souse time obliged to fill the situation of cook in fami lies, and some months ago went into the service of Mr. Mattem, a grocer and oilman, residing . at .No. 55, Lower Grosvenor street; she has frequently, mace she has been in this service, being of rather a nervous habit,: been very much alarmed by a practice which Mr. Alattern pursued, of firing and letting off squibs of gunpowder anti craceis all over the house for his amusement. On Tuesday Mr. Mattem had a party of friends to dine with him, and she commenced making up the kitchen fire ; but the instant she thrust the poker into it, an explosion took place of , the most appalling nature; the whole contents of the grate were scattered upon her person and about the kitten ; the place was in an instant filled with smoke, which rendered it impossible to see a yard before her, and she became. sense less, and was - disfigured -in a most shocking manner ; her breast and neck were burnt so dreadfully; that it would be diffi cult to describe the state they were in. She had immediate recourse to surgical advice, but as the Gentleman she had con sulted, anti who had dressed her wounds, said that it would be impossible for her to do any work for a long time, she wished to have the means afforded her of retiring into a privatelodging, until She should he in some degree recovered ; and fet;ing con. vinced that Mr.•Mattem was the author attic injuries she had sustained, site applied to him for a trilling allowance for her lodging and board, until she got better, and to pay the expences of her surgeon ; but he refused to do either, and she was com pelled to apply-to the Magistrate. Mr. Mattem Said that lie was - altogether innocent of the of fence alleged against him : he had never put any thing into the fire, nor had he gone near the kitchen on that day. lie was extremely sorry, he said, for the great injury the poor wo man had sustained. lie was willing to keep the woman in his own house until she got - cured. • Sir G. FAIMANT said he did not consider Gs. for lodgings, and lfts. for board, very extravagant fbr the week, and surely Mr. Mattem could not refuse to pay the poor woman's surgeon's expences. Mr. Mattem said he should follow the Magistrate's advice; and the parties left the office with the understanding that the poor woman was to have the allowance she asked for. HAT TON.GARDEN.--THE LOVED M EWEN To.—Vester. day a young lady of a pretty, simpering manner, presented her self to the presiding Magistrate, Mr. ROGERS, and entreated his advice in an aflair of the utmost moment to her pewit.' The Magistrate, with his accustomed urbanity, professed his willingness to do any thing that might contribute w her or namea of hap piness, if consistent with his j u di c i a l duties. The applicant then stated, that a gentleman (whose she was obliged to withhold) h a d come to her apartments in Somerstown last night, and taken away from them a portrait inestimable value. • Alagistrate—Did its value rest in the portrait or the frame ? Applicant—The frame was very rich indeed—but, Sir, the picture itself was inestimable, from the many fond remem— brances which were associated with it. I would not have sold it for " such another world of one entire and perfect chry,„ solite." ,Magistrate--I presume the portrait was that of the parson, you allude to—was it not? Applicant—Ycs,.Sir (a tear, brighter than the brightest gem plucked from the darksome caves of the ocean, started to t h e humid eye of the fair suppliant as she resumed her narrative of this much-loved memento)—it was given Me l lhin o i r se v lf ie s w o i m ng e eighteen months ago, but as he and I have quarrelled, h e was resolved to deprive me even of the solitarysolace his dear image, even on canvas. Magistrate—l am afraid, Madam, this is a case in which I cannot interfere. The portrait was merely a gift, which the giver, however unkindly, might at any ti me reclaim. The Lady heaved a sigh, and withdrew. UNION-HAL L.—Mr. W. 11. Bodkin applied . yesterday to thee.

This letter Mr. Canning sent to the Mendacity Society for investigation, and one of the visitors going to the poor man's lodging, his wife was found in the most distressing, state. Immediate application was made fbr parish relief, which was refused on the ground that the man had applied on the Oth instant, and on the pariah surgeon sending to see the woman, 1, jetted to this a ee ndad‘ising llerro arrangement. nitwai he to t T heS poor rnta drat Small. pox Hospital, swore at the over seer grantett him no relief on Friday w e ek (the Ilth), and that powder,tim a 1' a Surgeon told h im t sent ayoui f come t man t li e next see ee 11is Vlife,whoita l, senthe 111) morning and say how she was, when an offer was made to remove her to the Hospital, which he objected to at her request. she being unable to be re-. moved ' • since that day no further notice was taken of her.

It was ascertained that the poor man had 'just parted with his last pawnbroker's ticket to a milkweman fora little milk for his wife, who would certainly have perished but for this in terference.

Whoever he be, du. work is a most amusing publication ; its satire gliding on the swift wings of tight wit and good humour, lashing without personality, and exciting mirth without malice.

WOLSEY the CARDINAL, and his TIMES, Courtly, Political, and Ecclesiastical.—.By GEORG': firiwann„ Esq. Author of Lady Jane Grey and her Times. illustrated with a Portrait and Autograph of the Cardinal, and numerous Cuts, Ids. The subject of this volume is a memorable in stance of the instability of human grandeur. Mr. Uowaril's object has been to compile such a life of Wolsey as should refer principally to personal biography, and ,to the peculiar customs and man ners of the times, Under this view of the subject, the pomp and splendour of the Cardinal's establishment ; his insolence in prosperity, and his pusillanimity in. adversity, as matters of historical interest, are well detailed, and furnish much curious informa tion. Works of the kind before us (it is well observed in the last number of the Gentleman's Magazine) are excellently fitted to supply the defects in history, where a leading personage may not have his proper share of distiqction, and the result be much the same as spoiling a drama by curtailing the acts and speeches of the principal character. Another contemporary (the Critical Gazette) says, " Mr. !toward has depicted Wolsey exactly as we think he was. In the several stages of his progress, and onward to his decline, fall, and death, the heart and mind of this singular man are figured to us in per haps the best of all possible ways--in his de meanour and his actions." There is another par- Ocular also, in which this work has an essential value ; namely, in reconciling some chronological discrepancies, arising from time different mod e s of notation used by the earlier annalists. Of the splendour of Wolsey's establishment, seine idea will be formed, as well RS of the state of the times, by the fact that his 4 cheine roll' cotta. prised upwards of eight hundred persons, of all ranks, including nine or ten peers, or sons of peers, fifteen knights, and forty esquires; but then it must be stated that these latter were not considered as domestics, but as friends who re sided in 'his family either for education and knowledge of tie world, or for state purposes, merely adding to the show on days of ceremony. Three boards were daily spread in his ball, wherever he might be resident : at the head at the first sat a priest, in the office of a steward ; at the head of the second, a knight, us treasurer; and at the third, an esquire, who was always conptrol p lerol7sessfltet: nh)onuch interest.t seloltlThe volume, al together, When GEOHOE 111. and his Queen visited the camp at Worley, in Kssex, in 1778, they fixea their head-quarters at Lord Panto 's, at Thorn. don-place.

Bo W.S T n E ET.—Yesterday 111 r. Perry, a coal-merchant, ap peared upon two summonses to answer to two informations, one charging him with having refused to allow a sack to be mea sured when required to do so; and the other with neglecting to cause a bushel measure to be carried in a conspicuous place upon a waggon loaded with coals, us ordered by the Act of iam en t. The informations were filed and signed by a man of the name of Chas. King and Mr. Bradfield, the great reformer of abuses In the coal-trade, appeared in the double character of a witness and advocate in support of the charges. The intbrmation having been laid before Mr. lIALLB, the Sitting Magistrate, and Mr. Perry being called he answered, and presented himself at the t a ble. M r . - Harmer attended as his Solicitor. Charles King, the informer, was next called, and immediately a tall singular looking man, of the middle age, dressed in shabby black, with silk neckerchief, and a great por. tion of hair upon his head, rushed through the crowd to the front of the .table, and in great seeming agitation said, " I know nothing of the matter, Mr. Magis trate --I beg distinctly t o state , that I have no complaint whatever to prefer against Mr. Perry. Mr. HALLS—Don't be in a hurry, Sir. Let me first inquire into the nature of the case. _ Mr. King—l'ott may inquire as much as you please, but I tell you that I have no charge against Mr. Perry. Mr. Har.t.s—You are an extraordinary fellow. Pray what are you Sir? laming —Why Sir, I am nothi ng , a s you may see. Air. Jr. King— y e ., Air. liALLS—NOtiling ? nothing—or perhaps worse than nothing. I alri an unfortunate tradesman, reduced in pocket, but not in principle, yet, thank Ood. Mr. II At.t.s—Are You not the informer in this case? Mniaing—No, Sir, I detest and abominate the name. I know nothing about the matter. Mr. II ALLS.—Your name is Charles King, is it not ? Mr. King--That is certainly my name, Sir. Mr. HALLS—And is not this your signature at the bottom of these informations ? Mr. King--I don't know. Mr. HALLS—Come, Sir, answer my question truly. Is this your band-writing or not ? Mr. King—l know nothing about it. Mr. HALLS—I will not be trifled with. Tell me aye or no at once. Is this your signature? Mr. King—l have told you already that I know nothing about it. I can't say that it is; at all events I have no com plaint against Mr. Perry. Mr. HAT.LS—IIow came you here at all then ? Mr. King—Why the fact is, as I said before, 1 have been unfortunate; and this man (pointing to Mr. Bradfield) has rendered me services. He came to me the other day, and re quired me, in pretty positive terms, to lay these informations. I had a huge mind to serve him as he deserved upon the spot but I kept my temper, and thought it would be better to let gum expose himself here, and to subject him to any fiat: that could be inflicted, though 1 don't know whether any such thing could be done or not. Mr. Hat.ts—l wish you would tell me whether or not this signature is yours. Mr. Kinl,—l can't say, Sir. Mr. Brat field—Why, Sir, I saw him writ e it. Mr. King—You hold your tonguoi Mr. Bradfield—Thin is really unaccountable to , me, your Worship. This man made not the slightest objection when lie signed the informations. Air. King.l 4 lo, for the reasons I have just stated I did notl object. • Mr. llanatEn—Well then you withdraw the information. 31r. King--Exactly so; I do. Mr. IlmtatEtt—And you do right; for I pledge m word that there is n o t th e l eas t foundation f or this charge; and Mr. Perry was, and is now, extremely anxious to have the matter 0 0 ; a nd cells 0 # ai.
