THE BRITISH JEWS: • The follewhig letter as eon a resse to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Grant, by several of the most eminent members of the Jewish body in this metropolis : " London, Aug. 25, 1834. " Sir—Although we are aware that your attention must at this moment be engaged by many important subjects, we yet hope that you will not think we are trespassing improperly on your time in expressing to you once more before you leave England our gratitude for the kindness which we /md our de , religionists have experieneed at yOtit hands, and i n sa yi ng h ow earnestly we with that your change of station may produce as much happiness to yourself as we are sure that it will to the countries that will be placed beneath your care. " It will never, we trust, be unpleasing to you to be re minded of your exertions on behalf of the British Jews; and we therefore venture to request that you will do us the honour to accept, as a slight testimonial of our deep sense of obliga tion, the accompanying ornament, the sight of which may sometimes, perhaps, in a distant part of the world, recal to your thoughts the recollection of the services that you have rendered to the cause of religious freedom, and of your dis franchised countrymen. " Your labours have not as yet produced their full effect; but we cannot believe that any tong interval of time can sepa• rate us from the accomplishment of a measure, the intrinsic justice of which has been recommended to the Legislature and the country by the arguments and authority of such an ad vocate n s yourself. 4, We have the honour to remain, Sir, " Your faithful and devoted Servants, " ISAAC L. GOLDSMID, J. HELBERT HELBERT, L. DE SYAIONS, LOUIS LUCAS, N. DE ROTHSCHILD, BENJN. COHEN, ABRAHA.II HORT, FRANCIS H. GOLDSMID, DANL. MOCATTA, ED. WALEY SALOMONSON, S. J. LEVI, DAVID SOLOMONS, B. VANOVEN, The Right Hon. Sir Robert Grant." The " Testimonial" alluded to in the above letter is a mag nificent piece of silver plate, called a Paundon (a vase made use of at Indian tables for handing round rose-water, &c.,) bearing the following inscription : (Signed) " August, 1834, " Presented to the Right Honourable Sir Robert Grint, as . a slight token of gratitude for his invaluable exertions in behalf of the British Jews". This mark of grateful feeling on the part of the Jews, towards a statesman who has been the firm and zealous ad vocate of those rights which belong to them in common with all their fellow-subjects, hut of which they have so long been unjustly deprived, is honourable alike to the givers and receiver. It will always be remembered as a proud circumstance in Sir Robert Grant's public life, that his exertions have prepared the way for a triumph which must soon be achieved over bigotry and intolerance, by the full acknowledgment of the civil rights of an important body of our countrymen ; and it must be to him a subject of gra tification that his conduct has excited in their minds those warm feelings of gratitude and regard which the above letter so happily expresses. We also congratulate the Jews on their. exhibition of good taste and honourable sentiment in thus demonstrating their sense of obligation to one who, having eminently served them, is about to remove from the scene and station in which he could continue to ,do them DOVER, AUGIST 27, , The Tai 14 tery,fll} of visitors # and every house on the Marine Parade occupied.

N-EW MODE OF• RESISTING A DISTRAINT.-- On Tuesday last a man named George Woodhouse was brought up at the New Bailey, Manchester, charged with having prevented the levying an execution under a distress warrant. It appeared that it was for the amount of 13s. 6d. for some fowls, and that on the bailiff entering the house, Woodhouse went into the cellar, whence he returned armed with a bag of soot, with the contents of which he so profusely powdered the bailiff that . he was glad to escape, being, as he said, " smothered out." The following notice was recently posted up by some polished Parisians in the shop windows, in Paris :—" At the Menagerie of the Combat des Animaux, August, 3, 1834, and every Sunday till further notice, will be a grand combat of a young and vigorous bull. This indomitable animal, without equal for agility, will be attacked vigorously by dogs of the greatest force, who will relieve one another, turn about. After which the famous wild boar of the Black Forest will be hunted and pursued by dogs trained to this sort of exercise. Ndthing shall be neglected to render the combat obstinate." BEDFORD, AUG. 20.—The rivalship between the two clerks of ElstOw, we are sorry to state, still exists, al though a meeting was held on Saturday last, at the Town hall, Bedford, to decide the question, when S. Whitbread, Esq., the Rev. J. Wing, the Churchwardens, &c., attended. Every argument was used to arrange the business amicably, but without effect, the old clerk being firm to his appoint-: ment. F or f our Sundays this church has thus been made the scene o f di scord by the two clerks, each making the response s i n their own peculiar twang. The most curious part of th e service however is the singing, the new clerk per forming s o l os i n his very best manner.—Cambridge Chronicle. , , Wednesday, about two o'clock, as the Yorkshirenzan steamer was proceeding from York to London, when off the Lincolnshire coast, the pipes of the boiler burst, but without doing any damage, except to the steam apparatus.

His Lordship i; one of the Representative Peers for Ireland, also one of the Lords o. the Bedchamber, and Lord Lieutenant of the county of Armagh. The salary as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, is nearly 1,500 i a year. His Lordship is brother-in-law to Lord George Bentinck. COURT- OF ALDERMEN.—ADDItESS TO Ills MAJESTY ON TIIE RETURN OF THE QUEEN.—Yesterday a Court was held, at which an address was unanimously voted to his Majesty on the safe return of the Queen to this country. COURT OF COMMON CousclL.—Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of moving an address to his Majesty on the safe return of the Queen. There were fifteen Aldermen present and a great number of Common Council men. Deputy Wood moved the address and Mr. Prior se .eonded it. Not the slightest discussion took place. The motion having been carried, a deputation was appointed to draw up the address, and the Court adj ourne d. A country poulterer advertising his readiness to purchase any quantity of game and rabbits, adds—" Manors rented—the killing to be paid for." Grouse are daily exhibited for sale in the neigh bourhood of the Bank and Stock Exchange, at the moderate price of ioi. a brace. The New York Courier and Inquirer is printed on one of the largest sheets in the world, and costs about three halfpence of our money. A late number contained nearly 12,000 advertisements. It is remarkable, that at Spalding market last Tuesday, wheat and oats sold at nearly the same price per stone. A merchant who trades at that place remarked that he does not recollect a similar circumstance.—Boston Herald. The keeper of a country inn, after extolling in an advertisement the salubrity of his surrounding neighbourhood, concludes with this equivocal and ominous announcement, " hearse and mourning coaches." GIANT FAMILY.—A young Welchman enlisted in the Royal Horse Guards, a few days since, whose height is six feet four inches, and who states himself to have a brother residing in the principality of the height of six feet nine inches. DECLINE OF CHOLERA IN DUBLIN.—We are extremely gratified to be able to announce that there has been a very considerable diminution in the number of cases since the recent change in the weather. The epidemic has assumed a much less malignant character within the last week. —D üblin Register. PICTURE OF THE TIMES (1783). Did I tell you that the Bishop of Chester's Sermons were out of print in eight days ? I hope the age is not so bad as we took it to be; and yet it cannot be very good neither, when the straw berries at Lady Stormont's breakfast, last Sunday morning, cost one hundred and fifty pounds.--Memoirs of Hannah More. RA I LWA Y.—Experiments have been made with uggage trains claim the inclined plane ,at Sutton, on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, to ascertain the distance the trains would move without the aid of engines. Some of the heavy trains acquired such a velocity in descending the in cline as to run a mile on the level train without the aid of power.—Baton Chronicle. ASTRONOMY.—The planet's Jupiter and Mars may now be seen at one tints with a telescope at midnight, in the E. by N. The planets Venus and Saturn may also be seen in the same manner, immediately after sunset, in the west ; and Herschel may be seen at any time in the night, forming an equilateral triangle with the two stars in the shoulders of Aquarius, and not far from Altair ; the moon at present prevents this planet being seen with a telesccope. PUBLIC WORKS.—A curious account has been laid before Parliament of the sums granted, altogether, for the Caledonian Canal, Military and Highland Roads and Bridges, in Scotland; for Canal communication in Canada; and for Improving the Navigation of the Shannon. The totals are as follow :—Caledonian Canal 953,638/. ; Roads, Bridges, &c., about 400,000/. ; Canada Canals, 977,800/. ; and the Shan non, 21,0231. The return was moved for by the Earl of Kerry. How TO MAKE is stated in the " Cu riosities of Literature," that " the King of Bithynia, in some expedition against the Scythians, in the winter, and at a great distance from the sea, had a violent longing for a small fish called aphy—a pilchard, a herring, or an anchovy. His cook cut a turnip to the perfect imitation of its shape ; then fried it in oil, salted, and well powdered it with the grains of a dozen black poppies. His Majesty's taste was so exquisitely deceived that he praised the root to his guests as an excellent fish." EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF V ESSELS.— During the present month not less than 900 vessels have ar rived at this port, 300 of which are from foreign parts, the remainder from Ireland and coastwise. The docks are conse quently crowded. The trade of the port continues rapidly to increase, As connected with the increase of trade we may mention that the number of subscribers to the Exchange News Room, who are all engaged in commerce, was never greater than it is at the present peried.--Liverpool Standard. The salt lakes are constantly termed by the Turks "bitter;" may not, therefore, "bitter," as applied in Scrip ture and by the Orientals of the present day to waters unfit for use, be simply a figurative expression denoting the bitterness of disappointment which the fainting traveller experiences on discovering that the beautiful lake descried at a long distance, and the object of his most anxious solicitude, mocks his ex pectations, and though pure and inviting to the eye, is nau seous to the taste, and would rather increase his sufferings than relieve them. —Arundel's Asia Minor. The number of cabriolets that were licensed to ply for hire, prior to the Ist of January, 1834, was 1,200, and the Commissioners were limited to grant licenses to that number, but after the Ist of January unlimited power was given them with regard to licenses, and upwards of eight hundred fresh licenses have since been granted. The owners pay 5/. for each license when they take it out, and 2/. every month for duty. This is paid in advance. Government, consequently, derives a revenue in round numbers of 52,0001. per ann. from the hackney cabs and coaches of the metropolis. DYING MAPLE OR SATIN WOOD WITH COCIII NEAL. —Embellishing maple or satin wood with cochineal is an old Swedish practice. In that country they use knotty pieces and roots of the birch, which they appear to smooth with a plane that is not very sharp, so as to throw up the fibre more in some places than in others; they then dip these thin boards into dyes of various kinds, and as the raised fibre im bibes colour faster than the smooth cut parts, a delicate variety of tint is easily produced. The boards when dry are smoothed and varnished, and snake very beautiful furniture. creased, and the vessel was impelled towards the Welch coast, not without serious apprehensions to all on b oar d o f very dis astrous results. Sir T. Aeland, however, maintained his gal lant intrepidity, and, to sustain the spirits of his associates, who were severely suffering from sea-sickness and alarm, remained on deel ell night, whistling and singing , with apparent con fidence of safety. Many hours elapsed before the yacht re gained the Somersetshire coast, where the party were dis embarked to their infinite joy, and that of their anxious fami lies and friends. ' Earl Grey arrived at Alnwick on Wednesday after noon. His Lordship alighted at the White Swan Inn, where die) Address of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood was presented to him by John Carr, Esq., and a number of his political friends assembled on the occasion. The address was graciously received by his Lordship, and was deeply gratifying to him, as exrressive of the app ro b a ti on o f hi s f r i en d s an d . neighbours. His Lordship appear e d a t th e w i n d ow , an d was received with cheers. There was an anxious expectation that his LOrdship would address the people assembled, and his not doing so produced general disappointment. It is stated that his Lordship was unable, from indisposition, to address the concourse assembled outside.— Tyne .31 - ereury. We are happy to inform the public that Sir John Hobliouse has given directions for -an iron railing to be made, of the saute pattern as that in front of the new Palace, and when completed, the brick wall between the Green Park and Buckingham Gardens is to be taken down, and the iron rail ing erected instead. This will be a great ornament to the Palace, and Will be the means of showing the Palace to great advantage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGHAM RACES.—(YESTERDAY.) The weather was so favourable and the list so promising, that a company not much inferior to that collected on Tuesday was at tracted to the course. The presence of Royalty was alone wanting to impart eclat to the amusements of the day. In our account of the first day we omitted to state that Sir F. Roe was in attendance at the royal tents, having Gardner and Smith under his orders. There was also a strong body of police, whose exertions in clearing the course and preserving order were entirely successful. The following account of the running yesterday will show that the stakes did not realize so much sport as their appearance on paper had warranted us in expecting : Sweepstakes of 30 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for two-yrs.-old, 7st. ; three yrs., 9st. 21b. ; fillies allowed 31b..

J. STRETTELL BRICKWOOD, Secretary IN QUEST IN THE KING'S BENCH PRISON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta r —ln your yesterday's report of the King's Bench In quests, you fetched a keeper from Fulham instead of Bedlam, —owing, I suppose, to the crabbedness of my hand-writing. As there is no reason for imagining that the Fulhamites are more mad than their neighbours, it may be as well to correct the error, and restore the said keeper to his natural domicile, Bedlam.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.

Sir,—Now that the political turmoil of the session has nearly ceased, and more leisure moments are at hand, will you per mit me to inquire what has been the issue of the game of chess which, on the 9th of June last, you announced as pending be tween the Nottingham and some provincial club? I know not if your other avocations will allow you sufficient time to collect the information I ask ; but if you cannot, per haps some of your chess playing readers would, to gratify an enthusiastic admirer of that noble and ancient game, announce in some corner of your Journal what has been the result. How misapplied has been that line of Sir W. Scott, which tells us the chase is— " Mimicry of noble war." To chess, and chess only, it is applicable; for what can equal the delight of conquering in such a game.! And when you are pressed by numbers, and you have only poor old Chah (as the Orientals call the king) to withstand the enemy, Oh the delight with which you announce to your opponent—Stale mate ! Then your opponent gets such a headache, and such an inclination to scratch behind his ear, that really, Mr. Editor, if you have never enjoyed such a treat, I sincerely hope you will not long continue so.—Yours very respectfully, GIOA C HINO GR/ECO, a constant Reader. London, August 26, 1834. [As we have no means of knowing the issue of the game, perhaps some one more learned in these matters will satisfy our " enthusiast ;" or cannot he fathom the mystery him self?—En. SUN.] A correspondent states that even late as the season is, fellows may be seen distributing cards in St. James's street, announcing the houses and the hours at which rouge et noir are played. The cards are not indiscriminately given, but only to likely dupes. On Monday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a little girl between three and four years of age, whose parents reside in Trimming-place, Pancras-road, was' standing on a chair, looking out of the first-floor window, when in leaning too forward over the window-sill, she overbalanced herself and fell on the spikes of the area railing, two of which entered her body to the depth of between 3 and 4 inches. One penetrated just underneath the blade bone of the right shoulder, and the other tore away the flesh of the left hip to the extent of be tween 2 and 3 inches. Ihe infant presented a most dreadful spectacle, being actually impaled on the spikes. She was re moved with considerable difficulty ; her death was momentarily expected. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Captain Mitchell, of the schooner Express, of Dundee, recently arrived from Peters burg, with a cargo of flax and hemp, reports the loss of David Meek, one of his seamen, off the Scaw, on the homeward voyage. Ho had been aloft on the topsail-yard-arm during a strong breeze, and having lost his footing, fell from a height of about 60 feet into the sea. The vessel was immediately put about, and every exertion made to save the 'unfortunate youth, but in vain. He was only partially seen once, and immediately afterwards disappeared, his cap floating on the surface of the troubled ocean, pointing out the fatal spot.

On Saturday last the return match between the Moor-park Club and Lord Grimston's party, was played at Gorhambury, near St. Albans. The Moor-park gentlemen went in first, and scored l 8•,; Duncan Anderson, Esq., getting 87; his style of batting was'gene rally admired Lord Grimston s side scored 63 in their first inn- ings ; and when the Moor-park had marked 102, with four wickets to go down in their second innings, it was found too late to continue the game. The ground was in excellent order, and they played ex ceedingly well. It is most delightfully placed near to the mansion, surrounded by groups of trees, and forms as it we:2 an amphi theatre. Tents were erected on the ground, under which refresh ments were served; and we could not but admire the very great liberality displayed by the noble owner of this splendid demesne, and the hospitable manner in which the gentlemen were entertained by his Lordship, whose urbanity of manner to all, will (from the expressions we heard from the gentlemen) never be erased from the minds of the members of the two clubs. To convey to our readers the manner this match was played, we need only add that bad play on either side was a rare arts. BRIGHTON AND CLARENCE CLUBS. During the whole of yesterday, in consequence of the near ap proach of this long-talked of match, the most lively interest was excited amongst the numerous admirers of th's noble game.

SPORTING.—Mr. George Lomas, of Rothley, and a highly respectable party had the pleasure of taking nearly a ton weight of fish in one year (two days' sport) ►n a small meadow above Cossington Mill, the property of T. Babington, Esq. The first day's sport was in July, 1833, and the last on the 21st of July, 1834 ; the fish were remarkably fine, and con sisted of pike, perch, carp, tench, roach, and other fish—the pike weighed from 41b. to 141 b. each, and to enliven the sport on the last day's fishing a very fine otter swam into one of the trammels, and caused much diversion before he was taken. Mr. William Simons, an old sportsman, was on the bank to give the view " hollo." Mr. G. L. has been a Piscator nearly 40 years, he never saw such a fishery as the water Burrow Pool, above Cossington Mill, for sport.--Leicester Journal. FRANKFORT.—A gentleman at Wurzburg has had a livery of good stuff made for his female servants : for work ing days, it is grey ; for Sundays and holidays, green ; and they must wear it ap long as they are in his service. This is a good hint for tli& wives of our citizens, who can sca rcely restrain the love of finery and extravagance of their maid servants.—Bavarian Village Gazette. - , ,‘" ANECDOTES OF JOHNSON -AND LORD MONBODDO. You would have enjoyed seeing him take me by the hand in the middle of dinner, and repeat, with no small degree of enthusiasm, many passages from the " Fair Penitent," &c. r urged him to take a little wine ; he replied, " I can't drink a little, child, therefore I never touch it ; absti nence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult: He was very good-humoured and gay. One of the com pany happened to say a word about poetry. " Hush, hush," says he, " it is dangerous to say a word of poetry before her ; it is talking of the art:of war before Hannibal.' He continued his jokes, and lamented that I had not mar ried Chatterton, that posterity might have seen a propaga tion of poets. The metaphysical and philological Lord Monboddo breakfasted: with us yesterday : lie is such an extravagant adorer of the ancients, that he scarcely allow.: the English language to be capable of any excellence, still less the French ; he has a hearty contempt for that people and their language ; he said we moderns are entirely dege nerated. I asked, in what ? "In every thing," was his answer. Men are not so tall as they were, women arc not so handsome as they were ; nobody can now write a long period ; every thing dwindles. I ventured to say, that. though long periods were fine in oratory and declamation, yet that such was not the language of passion. He sisted that it was. I defended my opinion by many pas sages from Shakspeare ; among others, those broken bursts of passion in Constance, " Gone to b e married 1" " Gone to swear a tru ce !" " False blood with false blood joined!' Again, "My name is Constance. lam Geoffrey's wife ; young Arthur is my son, and he is slain !" We then re sumed our old quarrel about the slave -trade ; he loves slavery upon principle. I asked him how he could vindi cate such an enormity ? He owned it was because Plu tarch justified it. Among much just thinking and some taste, especially in his valuable third volume on the " Origin and Progress of Language," he entertained some opinions so absurd that they would be hardly credible if lie did net deliver them himself, both in writing and conversation, with - a gravty which shows that he is in earnest, but which makes the hearer feel that to be grave exceeds all power of face. H e „ .so wedded to system that, as Lord Barrington said to me t h e ,Zher day, rather than sacrifice his favourite opi nion that men a; re b orn w ith t a il s, h e wou l d b e contented to wear one himself.- , ..:Afemoirs of Hannah More." BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. That there are, and have always been, numbers of beau tiful women in France as well as in England, And beautiful in figure, too, and plump withal, no Anti-gallican, the most pious that ever existed, could take upon him to deny ; though the praise conveyed by their word embonpoint (in good case), which means " fleshy and fattish" (as the pact has it), would imply that the beauty is not apt to be of that order. The country of Diana de Poitiers, of Agnes Sorel, and of all the charmers of the reigns of Valois any'_ the Bourbons, is not likely to lose its reputation in a hurry for " bevies of bright dames." Charming they were, that is certain, whether plump or not, in the eyes of the princes and wits that admired' them ; and French admiration must go for something, and have, at least, a geographical voice in the world, whatever Germany or Goethe himself may think of the matter. On the other hand, far arc we from . abusing all or any of the dear plump Germans, who have had graceful and loving souls, whether fifteen, like - poor Margaret, Or " fat, fair, and forty," like Madame Schroe der Devrient. We have been in love with them, time out of Mind, in the novels of the good village pastor, the reve rend and most amatory Augustus La Fontaine. The Penin sular and South American ladies, albeit beautiful vvalkers, and well-grounded in shape, are understood not to abound in plump figures; yet who shall doubt the abundance of their fascinations that has read what Cervantes and Camoeng have said of them, and what is said of their eyes and gait by all enamoured travellers ? Is not Dorothea for ever sitting by a brook side, beautiful; and bathing her feet, iii the pages of the immortal Spaniard ? And was not Inez de Castro taken out of the tomb, in order to have her very coffin crowned with a diadem, so triumphant was the me mory of her love and beauty over death itself? Italian beauties are almost another word for Italian paintings, and for the muses of Ariosto and. of song. And yet, admiring all these as we do, are we for that reason traitors to the beauties of our own country, or do we not rather•the morn admire the charmers that are nearest to us, and that per petuate the train of living images of grace and affection which runs through the whole existence of any loving ob server, like a frieze across the temple of a cheerful religion ? And yet all this does not hinder us from wishing, that the generality of our countrywomen walked better and dressed better, and even looked a little less reserved and misgiving. A Frenchman is not bound not to wish the generality of his countrywomen plumper, because he admires them for other beauties, or sees plumpness enough in his friends. A Spa niard may reasonably wish his a little more red and white, if it be only for the sake of their health ; and if a jovial table-loving Viennese desired, after all, a little less plumpness in his adorable for the same • rea son, (and in himself too,) we should not quarrel with his theory, however it might object to his practice. The handsomest female we ever beheld was at Turin i , she was a maid-servant crossing a square. The most lady-like looking female in humble life was a French girl, the daugh ter of a small inkeeper. We heard one of her humble'ad mirers speak of her as having the air d'una petite duchesse (of a little duchess.) But the most charming face that ever furnished us with a vision for life (and we have seen many) was one that suddenly turned round in a concert room in England, —an English girl's, radiant with truth and goodness. All expressions of that kind make us love them, and here was the height of material charmingness added. And we thought the figure equal to the face. We know not whether we could have loved it for ever, as some faces can be loved without being so perfect. Habit, and loving kindness, and the knowledge of the heart and soul could alone determine that. But, if not, it was the divinest im position we ever met with.—Leigh Hunt's London Journal., MEMOIRS OF A THIEF. Our readers may recollect that about three weeks since we reported a case of robbery committed at a house in Cliff-street, by a fellow named Peter Bowerhan. For this offence the culprit was tried on Wednesday last and found guilty, which subjects him to confinement in the state prison for a term not less than two years. The life of this man has been one of singular depravity. Besides a number of crimes of which the police have no cognizance, the fol lowing facts are gathered from the most authentic sources :—Bowerhan was orig inally a but c h er , an d hi s fi rs t offence was stealing cattle, in October, 1819, for which he was sentenced to the State prison for three years. Soon after his liberation, in 1823, he committed another robbery, . for which he was sent to the Penitentiary, where he re mained twelve months. in January, 1825, he was again, pn conviction, committed to the same prison for a year. In N c ,vember, 1826, he was subjected to twelve months' im prisomnent for a street robbery, and in 1828 was sentenced to confinement for the same period for a sim . lar offence. In April, les% he, with several others, were detectel in a very extensive' felony through the vigilance of that worthy and com petent offiet,‘-r Ald. Palmer, and were committed to the Peni tentiary. wr:ile they were waiting for trial, the cholera broke out, and Boswerhan was one among st the first attacked to the hespita in what the phy by it. He was remo-Pe4 sicians considered a h ope ,',. , ss state, and the usual remedies applied to him. Watching ; . , is opportunity whilst the at tendants were absent, he tore oti - plasters and band ages with which he was swathed, made hi: escape from the hos pital, and fled to Philadelphia. From thisplace he ad dressed a well-written and Very pathetic le; ter to the Dis trict Attorney, recounting his sufferings and tt distress in which his wife and family were plunged in consequeric:e of his troubles and absence, and concluding by entreating that Mr. Hoffman would forego his prosecution, prom i s ing to reform :4- together his misspent life. Upon these representations a not; prosequi was entered, and Bowerhan returned to New York. He had scarcely been a month in the City before he re-com menced his former practices, and escaped detection until December, 1832, when he was found guilty of several petit larcenies, and sentenced to a confinement of 18 months in his old quarters. About a week before perpetrating tho robbery of which he now stands convicted, he entered into a plan with a young Englishman to plunder the house of an elderly person, who keeps a tavern in Rossevelt-street, arid whom he knew had a chest, in which between 600 and 700 sovereigns were deposited. Fortunately for the owner, he, on the morning of the intended robbery, removed the chest to another part of the premises, and so secured its safety. Bowerhan and his confederate broke into the house in the middle of the night, and as the former vrag acquainted with the premises, he left the other rogue to keep watch below. With a lighted candle in his hand, be first sought for the chest containing the treasure, but which to his chagrin and disappointment he found removed; resolved, however, not to come away em pty-handed, h e boldly advanced to the chamber-door of the landlord, who, with his wife, was snoring in bed ; gently approach ing them, he drew from under their pillow a pocket-book, containing a considerable a mount in bank bills. Scarcely had he effected this, when the old gentleman awoke, and seeing a strange man with a l i g ht in his h and , boldly jumped out of bed, and rushed to wards the intruder. B ower h an, aware of the danger of detection if he suffered his pursuer to recognize him, immediately extinguished the candles, and while the awake ned slee p er wa s groping his way aft er hi m , he boldly entered the next chamber, where he knew two w atches were suspended over the mantic-piece, seized the prize, and escaped in safety with his confederate, before the landlord was able to raise an a l arm. Many other circum stances are related of this desperate which, as they.would exclude moreainmdplomrtardnetnemdaottffeern:alerre, of necessity omitted. —New York Paper.
