SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Tht last arrivals from South America present ns uith what appears to be the political finale of Boli• var. That conspicuous and enterprising person has at last ceased to be a public functionary, and has re turned into private life. General Bolivar has thus demortstrated either that be did not entertain the projvets of criminal ambition which had beer► imputed to him, or that he did not esteem the odium worth inentring for the sake of an unattainable usurpa tion. It is fortunate for General Ilolivar's fume, that a suspicion of selfish designs against his country's freedom attached to him for some years pretty generally, without his having found or made an opportunity of demonstrating their abso lute injustice. The latter scenes of his career are more calculated to convince us that ho could not long have retained the exereige of supreme power, than that he did not Covertly deaire it,—tnore that he could not have been Calmar, than that he had proposed to himself Washington for his model. In one point, indeed, he resembled and surpassed the latter,--we mean in his perfect disinterestndness as regards money. This feature of his character has been conspicuous throughout even the most prosperous stages of his career, and shines out with peculiar lustre at the moment of his resignation of supreme command. But be that as it may, his retreat hat been decent, if not strikingly noble or dignified; and the language of the new Government towards him has been that of public gratitude at aspect. What may be the cond►tion of Colombhiltenceforth, it ►s extremely difficult to conjecture. 'T-Int. -.measures adopted by Venezuela and another proVinee may still admit of a federal, though not an ►ncorporating union with that state of which Bogota is the metro polis, and in such ease we do not see how the rela tions of foreign Governments with the Republic could be much embarrassed by the change, prov►ded that some central Power were to be acknowledged for the direction of affairs of foreign policy. At all events, it is satisfactory to know that the new Government of Bogota have renounced, in the most formal manner, every right of coercing Venezuela into an incorpo rating union, should the latter state decline the sinkable proposals made to her.---Times. Some useful papers have been printed by order of the house of Commons, exhibiting by a clear and distinct table the difference of expense attendant on the transport of convicts to New South Wales, as compared with the cost of their retention and employ ment on board of hulks in this country and at Bermuda. By a return for the years 1820 to 1829 inclusive it appears that, deducting from the gross expense the sums earned by the labour of the convict, the cost of feeding, clothing, and maintaining each individual, together with that of the establishment, and of re pairing the hulks, did not, in the course of the last year, exceeding 3/. 17s. 41d. per man. In the year 1827 it fell short of 121. per man. From particular circumstances affecting the price of labour in the year 1828, the produce of earnings by the prisoners had shown a considerable deficit, and had accord ingly raised the average expense for the public to 61. 16s, 24d. per annum. But the average for seven years from W 23 inclusive, has not exceeded 3/. 9s. per annum. The expense of transporting convicts to New South Wales presents u very unfavourable view of that method of treatment, miscalled punish ment, as compared with detention and hard labour on board the hulks. The official returns of 1828 give for the charge of carrying out each male, 264 itie. 6d. ; for each female, 341.85. 61d.; 1829, for each male, 2.5/. 1.54.91 d.; for each female, 27/. 12s. Thus, so far at least as economy is concerned, there can be no question as to the preference which ought to he given to imprisonment in the hulks, over trans port to a distant colony, the expense being in favour ,mf the former 'system in the ratio of less than one eighth. On grounds affecting the welfare of the eolouies, we likewise hold that every consideration ought to determine the Government against the practice of transporting, and in favour of confining prisoners. Transpottunorecan in hardly any instance deter from crime, because in fact it is scarcely ever a punishment to the guilty. A punishment it is, nod a *evere one, to the colonies, to be annually de luged with the scourings of our gaols at home. Nor can the progressive and inevitable consequences of forming a community, where the proportion of women is not one-tenth of what it ought to be, its compared with men, be contemplated otherwise than ns leading to moral evils of the most dreadful and revolting nature. If the argument of economy, therefore, were not, as it seems to us, so decisive, that drawn from considerations of policy and mora lity would be so beyond all question.— Timer. We are glad to perceive, from the Leeds Mer cury, that the freeholders of Yorkshire have east t heir eyes on Mr. Brougham for one of their county Members. The counties of England have not tut aptly bean described as the worst sort of ronen &roughs, being eqoally dependent with rotten ho rough" on powerful individuals, and being more peculiarly the refuge of stupidity. But 'Yorkshire is, it seems, too largo for the grasp of any proprie tor, and therefore, according to the Leeds Mercury, " as the present system almost excludes all who do not possess extensive property from county repre. counties are seldom represented by first rata senators; when the evil becomes so excessive that no property can contest time election, it cures itself, by throwing upon the freeholders t hel part of giving their voluntary and free support to time rotor of their real choice." The journal in question olp. gervito, that " Mr. Brougham is perfectly ignorant of his p,..ssent recommendation to the freeholders of Yorkshire, t o' of there being any idea of proposing hi m to eke. " m i." We have no doubt that this stetement is perfect:: correct. It has, however, 1,„„ known for „ v er u l to some of the gentle men possessed of influence it; Yorkshire, now resi dent in the metropolis, that it sys:l inten ded by the freeholder, of that county, and espt:fielly of the West Riding, to return Mr. 'Brougham. ,Wieed it variety of reasons point him out to that coure;v. which has always taken time leml in all questions emulated with civil and religious liberty, education, the abolition of slavery, &c. us the representative most worthy of their choice. The following are the titles of Mr. Brougham to time honour intended for him by the Yorkshiremen, as given by our Leeds contemporary " The lionourable and Learned Memll l / 4 for Kosovo borough steady without a rival animmmg time public men of the present day in their claims upon the gratitude of their skuutry and of mankind. lie has no competitor in the 'louse of Co' moons either in eloquence, in statesmanlike talent and information, or in the good he has effected for his country and for time !lumen ricer.

He tvas the most formidable antagonist of Ministers in the debates which led to the repeal of the Property Tax. He has ever shown himself the enlightened friend of commerce, and the enemy of every monopoly, especially of the great East and. West India mennpolies, and of the Corn Laws. "He is the unwearied friend of Education. In the establishment of the London University, of the Mechanics' institutes, and of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, he has done snore to elevate the intellect of his countrymen, and to break down the barriers of anti quated prejudice and abuse, than any roan whom this country has produced for ages. To every reflecting mind this will appear to be a greater service than could be ren dered to mankind by the most brilliant Orator, or even the most consummate Statesman. " To enumerate the whole of his services and achieve ments would fill all the columns of our paper. We can only further notice his persevering efforts to obtain the amelioration sad abolition of West Indian Slavery. We rejoice to see, by hie powerful speech in the House of Cotillions on Tuesday, that be is now aiming at the root of this stupendous evil. By bringing in Mr. Brougham fer the county of York, there can be no doubt that the cause of Negro Emancipation would be greatly advanced. From the Castle-yard of York a voice would ring fotth, which would carry a generous stimulas to the people of the whole kingdom, and gladden the heart of the pining slave in the Antilles. " Such a man, then, we respectfully suggest to the Free holders of Yorkshire, it would redound highly to their honour and advantage to send as their Representative to the House of Commons. We admit that Mr. Brougham has no peculiar connexion with Yorkshire, though he is the Representative of one of its boroughs. His property is its a neighbouring county, where his praiseworthy efforts to liberate the electors from the yoke of a dominant fa mily have been unavailing. But from his long connection with the Northern Circuit, and from the great extent of his practice, lie has obtained a very competent acquaintance with all the leading interests of the county. If the in vitation were singular, it would only be the more honour able both to the freeholders and Mr. Brougham, and the more useful as an example. But it is not singular : Mr. If tune's patriotic services hare recommended him to the fieeholders of Middlesex, who are about to draw him from his connection with the Scotch boroughs, and to return din as their Member. Mr. Canning and Mr, Huskisson have been thought fit to represent Liverpool, with which they had no previous connection. Mr. Burke honoured Bristol by becoming its Member, though he had no local claim. "In returning Mr. Brougham, the Freeholders of Yorkshire would give an honourable and memorable ex ample of the public coming forward to reward public vir tue. A man who has so devoted himself to the service of his country deserves better of his countrymen than to be returned to Parliament only as the Representative of a Ow borough. His hands would be strengthened in the advo cacy of every good cause by this great public honour con ferred upon him, and be would be bound by it fur ever to the cause of the people." We understand that it is intended that Mr. Brougham shall be returned free of all expense. The Representation of England never will be re spectable till the constituents determine on freeing their - Representatives horn the expenses of their re turn.—llforning Chronicle. The contest for the representation of the county of .I..outh will occur some short time previous to the General Election, a vacancy in that county having been occasioned by the elevation of Mr. Leslie Fos ter to a seat on the Bench of the Irish Court of Ex chequer. lie succeeds Mr. M'Clelland, who re signs in consequence of ill health. The last-named person was a Member of the Irish Parliament at the time of the Union, and was one of those who date their advancement in the world from that event.— Without being a partizan of the faction, under whose baneful ascendancy Ireland so long suffered, or en tertaining in his heart any real concern for their, or indeed for any particular class of political opinions, Mr. M‘Clelland contrived to make himself an object of more general unpopularity than any Magistrate of the ninny employed to administer the law among it people who have been taught to consider it far less a defence and protection than an instrument of ven geance and chastisement. He resided during a con siderable portion of the year on his seat in the county of Louth, mingling among the country gentlemen, and taking an active share in all the affairs of the neighbourhood. From this place he has almost without intermission, for the last twenty years (choosing always the same Circuit), each spring and autumn, mounted the judgment seat as a Judge of Assize, to dispense that equal and indifferent justice which knows neither favour nor affection, nor any respect of persons, with what likelihood of success it is not difficult to conjecture. So extraordinary specimen of this very injurious practice, as Baron Sl'Clelland exhibited, must not be suffered to pass without animadversion, and will, we hope, attract notice in its proper quarter.—Morning Chronicle. A short pamphlet hits just been published, under the title of A Letter to the King on Me present Crisis of the National h<ffcaira ; the twofold object of which appears to be to convince the King, that, in his hands, and to hint alone, the nation can look for relief, under the head of such measures as the writer, secondly, points out, as, in his opinion, es sential to our national safety. The writer sets out with informing his Majesty, that he" has succeeded to the throne of these realms at a moment the most auspicious for a Monarch who has at heart the wel fare of his subjects, and desires to be himself the creator of their happiness." lie then goes on to Mate the grounds on which it is that he considers that it is to the King alone the country earl hope for deliverance front its present state of distress and embarrassment. Under this head the author states, in plain and unequivocal language, the true reason why the country can look with confidence to no other source. " The constitution of this country," says he, " affects to be representative. All are now, however, aware that this character is a mere fiction, and that the majority of the, so called, popular branch of thoLegidature is returned by a small body of peers anti great proprietors. Te speak of the votes of the Howie of Cononnue, or the return of Nlembers on a general election, as declaring the opinion to nation ott the conduct of Government, is an acknow ledged absurdity. The only restraint on Bow in whose k u ;sils power really reside', is their dread of exasperating dm people to such a pitch as nifty occasion open And des iterate revolution. Short of this,'no check exists to the rapacity and selfishness of the great families who really elect the Commons. Such, at least, is the mode in which the British Constitution hiss worked during thus last half century or more." Ileving established, as be thinks, these two points, and having deduced from the latter this portant conclusion, that " the interest of the Go. vernmeet either is, or is by themselves considered to be, opposed to the interests of the governed," the writer proceeds to enumerate " what may yet be done to love nod bless the country, by the gra cious interference of the sovereign power." These he classes under six heads, viz. :--- I. A deliberate review of our monetary system, for the purpose of giving freedom, security, sufficiency, and tad • fortuity to the paper money of the three kingdoms. 2. A to.consideration of our whole financial policy. 4. A general and permanent composition for tithes. 4. A reforio in the Administration of the pour laws, and their extension, in an improved state, to Ireland. . A rm . /D welling of our civil and criminal code. 6. A reform of the game laws. In his views, as fur its they go, we have no doubt that the writer will meet with many miler, rents; bet to us it seems rather extraordinary that a writer who profeaeee to enumerate the evils which the country laboured under, should omit that strilciug one which writes from the state of trade, and the marked preference which is attempted to be given to the productions of foreign countries over our own. As far 36 the corn laws are eoncerned, this, we apprehend, we have more than once de mon,trably thown, while its ruinous effects in Other departniefits of titaiye ptedece are not less apparCht in the coutintial falling off in that head of the revenue which is the sureit tett of the comfoi t and prosperity of the people—tve mean the head of excise—the great and continued decline in whia, pots beyond all doubt the melancholy fact of the great and in eceasing distress of the people.—Morning however citirn ninny be the appearance of the ap roaching,.elettion of Meniht3-8 of Parliatnent, and rldWolier WW as yet tl ye probable ceotests, eve can assure our readers that there never was a period when stronger exertions were making to secure tin return of a powerful Opposition. The course of our foreign policy, and consequent unsettled state of our foreign relations, as well at the miserable manner in which the business of Parliament has been managed in the House of Commons, and the still more unjust interference with the rights of private property, have convinced the independent portion of the public that a change of men, as well as a change of measures, has be come absolutely necessary, in order to restore prospe rity and cot.fidence at home,and to secure that respect from foreign powers which the honour and interests of the country demanded ; and we accordingly learn, with pleasure, that a coalition is in progress towards completion between the consistent Tories of 1829 and the most talented of the Whig Lords in the Upper Douse, for the purpose of opposing the mea sures of the Government, and enabling the King to choose a Ministry of greater talent than that to which the reins of Government are now entrusted. Lords Eldon and Winchilsea, on the one hand, and Lords Grey and Durham, on the other,. are men tioned as the most active promoters of a union, which, notwithstanding the opposite opinions on some points of these Noble Lords, we consider to be highly constitutional and proper. When the Catholic Relief Bill was passed, it was by a union of the Whigs and moderate Tories—by a great sa crifice of former professions on the part of the latter, and a great forbearance of opposition on many other points on the part of the former; and if, in one case, the union of such opposite parties be justified by the importance of the question at issue, it will also be equally justified in the other. All great changes have indeed been produced more through the influence of coalitions, formed to carry a particular point, than by dint of the energy and num bers of any one party. The heads of parties have felt it necessary not to relinquish, but to lay aside for a time, the common grounds of opposition when questions of natural importance were at issue ; and such, we believe, to be the understanding said to have been entered into between the chiefs of the coalition to which we have alluded. They seek not emolument, place, or power—they have no wish for office, but they are not satisfied with the course either of our domestic or foreign policy, and they are therefore desirous of seeing a change effected which shall impart vigour to both. And let as ask, are they not justified, or, rather, nre they not im peratively called on to use every lawful means of accomplishing the object ?—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. On Friday Margaret:Goddard, a decently-dressed woman, was brought before Alderman CormAND,in consequence of her having attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the Thames at Blackfriars-bridge. Philip Forty, the " Jack in the water" at Black friars-stairs, stated that, at about half-past three on Wednesday afternoon, he was holding the head of a boat, when he saw a female come down the steps and run to the end of the causeway, and throw her self into the water. He immediately jumped in after her, and, by the assistance of a Waterman, who was standing by at the time, he succeeded in re scuing her. She appeared to be extremely anxious to effect her purpose, and told him that she was de termined to do it, and that, if he would let her go, he should not see anything more of her. The ALDERMAN asked Goddard who she wag, and what had induced her to attempt to destroy her self ?—Goddard said her husband was a private watchman in the employ of Mr. Stapleton, the dust contractor, and she found t h at , though shel could be very happy with him, he was not contented with her; and this had ind uce d her to act as she had done. Ambrose, the constable, said that, after the woman was taken into custody, he went to speak to her husband, who told him that they had n dispute about a week ago, and that, as he supposed, in consequence of that, she ran out of the house sud denly, and he had no idea where she was going to. The AIMEICSIAN inquired if the husband was pre sent ; and being laureled that he was not, he, after reprimandi►►g the woman, and pointing out the folly and wickedness of her conduct, told her that, us her husband was not in attendance, Mr. Teague should take care of her, in the Compter, till the next day, when she should be brought up again. The husband, however, arrived shortly after, and he stated that he bud been married to her for some years, and they had one child. He had done all he could to make her comfortable, and had nothing to complain of, except that she was extremely jealous, Nyithout any reason. His employment would not permit him to be always at home et his regular meal hours, as he sometimes had something given him to do just at that tune; but, whenever this was the case, his wife was sure to declare that be had been with some other woman. It was from a fancy of this kind that she run out of his house and threw herself into the water; and she had made him so uncomfortable by her behaviour that he could not live with her any longer, but he was willing to make her an allowance. The woman cried bitterly, and said she was only anxious to return to her child ; and, if he would take her hack, she would not behave in such a manner for the future. The husband refused this, and said she had promised this often before, and he could not bear to live with her any longer. The Alderman, however, insisted on his taking his wife' home with him, and they nt last left the office together. BOW.NEREET. On Friday John it'omersley and John Willis, two middle-aged men of .respectable appearance, were placed at the bar, before Mr. MINSIIULL, and charged capitally with having forged and counter feited a certain power of attorney for the sum of 1031.'55. Id. with intent to defraud the Accountant- General of the High Court of Chancery. Mr. John Parkinson, one of the principal clerks in the Accountant-General's office in the Court of Chancery, stated that on the IGth of July, 1828, an application was made by William Daniel Kiss, of No. 1, Gloucester-buildings, Wal worth, attorney at law, or by some person on his behalf, at the Ai , countant-Generafs Office, for a power of attorney from Henry Lowry, of Brent wood,Essex,auctioneer, to Mr. John Womeraley, late of Little Guilford street, but then of Lant-street, in the bcrough of Southwark, hat-manufacturer, to receive the sum of 1031.55. Id., which sum was, by an order of the High Court of Chancery, made in the cause of Dc tiller' v. Gale, ordered to be paid to this Henry Lowry, or to his legal personal representatives, which power of attorney was accordingly prep are d and delivered by Mr. Giles, one of the clerks, to Mr. W. D. Kiss, or the person on his behalf apply ing for the same. About three weeks after the said power of attorney was returned to the witness, with instructions that it had been duly executed by Lowry, on the 2d day of August, in the presence of George Deering, of New Broad-street, and John Willis, coal-merchant, East-lane, Walworth, and with an affidavit of Willis annexed thereunto of the due execution thereof by Lowry. On the 15th of August the prisoner, John Womersley, accompanied by Mr. Kiss, us his solicitor, applied to the witness for payment of the said sum of 103/. ss. Id., and it was paid to him with a cheque on the Bank of Eng land, and he signed rt receipt for that sum in the books of the Accountant-General, as the attorney of , Lowry, which receipt. was witnessed by Ki ss . The witness averred, in conclusion, that he believed the said power, of attorney to be false, forged, and coun terfeited, and that it was uttered and published as true by the prisoner John Woniersley, he well knowing it to be false, forged, and coun terfeit, with intent to defraud John Springett Harvey, Esq., the Accountant-General of the said Court; and that it was also his belief that • the prisoner, John Willis, was concerned with, and aiding and abetting the prisoner, &rho Womer . tiley, in the commission of the said forgery. The false power of attorney was produced Lydia 13onfleld, of No, 8, italiere-strect, Goswell-street-road, widow, was well acquainted with Henry Lowry, of Brentwood, and afterwards of Price's-court, Maid-lane, Southwark, and that he died some time in the mouth of April, 1808, in Price's-court. Mrs. Anne 'Wallis, of Brentwood, was the daugh ter and only-surviving child of Henry Lowry, and never knew or heard of any other Henry Lowry living at Brentwood. Her father was a creditor of Philip Detillin in the cause of Detillin v. Gale. He died in April, 1808. She knew her father's hand writing. The signature to the power of attorney now produced was not in the hand-writing of her father. Mr. W. Smith, of the Plough Brewery, Wal worth-common, knew the prisoner John Willis. He was in his service as a brewer about nine months, and left in the latter end of November. The witness had, of course, frequent opportuni ties of seeing the prisoner write, and he stated that he believed the signature " John Willis" to the power of attorney as a subscribing witness, and the same signature to the affidavit annexed, to be in the hand-writing of the prisoner John Willis. George Hampshire, clerk to the last witness, cor roborated this testimony. Mr. W. D. Kiss, of Gloucester-buildings, Wal worth, deposed that on Saturday, the 21th of May, 1828, the prisoner John Womersley first applied to him to bespeak for him two powers of attorney at the Accountant-General's office, in the Court of Chancery. Womersley made several other similar applications to him afterwards, and several other powers of attorney were obtained for him from the same office by witness or his clerks. On the 16th of July the prisoner Womersley made application for two powers of attorney ; one for Henry Lowry, of Brentwood, for 103/..55. Id., and the other for Charles Outland, of Westerham, Kent, grocer, for 13/. 2s. 10d., which two powers of attorney were obtained and delivered to the prisoner, in order that he might get them executed. On the 15th of August, 1828, witness went with the prisoner Womersley to the Accountant-General's office, to identify him, and saw him receive two cheques for the above sums, and witnessed his receipts for the Mr. Se!shy, clerk to Mr. Kiss, proved having ob tained the powers of attorney in question for the pri soner, and stated that, after he had done so, he said to the prisoner " You may as well give me a ride into the country with you to witness this." He said "The parties are too poor to afford it. You lawyers won't go for nothing, and I have a friend who will go for nothing, and you may as well put his name into the affidavit." The witness did so by his direction. The name was that of John Willis, of East-lane, Walworth, coal-merchant. To his knowledge, the witness said, he never saw the person so described. The prisoners, by advice of their legal adviser, declined making any defence, and they were com mitted for trial. An application was made to have Willis admitted to bail, but the Magistrate would not, in so serious a case, listen to such a request. Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution. On Saturday a well-dressed man, who said his name was Lcale, but whose real name is Richards, was charged with having stolen a purse, containing a 51. Bank note and seven sovereigns, front the pocket of an elderly gentleman named Webb. lie was recognised by Ford, the gaoler, and others, as one of that class of thieves called in slang language " the swell mob," and was committed to the House of Correction as a reputed thief. MARYLEBONE. On Friday night the cad of a Paddington om nibus, named Wood, was charged before Mr. Hos- KISS, with assaulting General Ouseley, of Man chester-square. The defendant was fined Si., and in default of pay ment was committed to the House of Correction for two months. Mr. Rich, an engineer, in Palace-row, New-road, was charged with an assault, under circumstances which created great excitement in that neighbour hood, and filled the office to excess. It appeared that the wife of a person named Bradshaw died, and as her disorder was not well un derstood, it was thought to be expedient to open tier body, and it was done by Mr. Thomson, sur geon, of the University Dispensary, in George; street, Euston-square, and three of his pupils, in an upper room of B ra d s h aw ' s h ouse , w hi c h stan d s op posite the workshops of Mr. Rich. Mr. Rich's men took into their heads that Brad the surg e o ns , an d t h ey shaw h a d so ld t h e pr i v il ege of dissecting his w i fe to went upon the leads of the building, and by hallooing and hooting, and declar ing that the body had been sold for five pounds, and the " butchers of surgeons were sawing it to pieces, they occasioned a mob, which threatened to break till the windows, and "do for the doctors." Mr. Thomson sent his card in to Mr. Rich, and re quested him to call his men down : Mr. Rich re. !tuned an ungracious answer, and the house being in danger, a person was sent to fetch home Brad shaw, who was absent. When Bradshaw came in, Rich and his RICH were in the yard, and Mr. Rich cried out, " Take Bradshaw, and drag him through the horsepond—get a bucket of stuff, and heave it over him." The last order was immediately carried into effect : one of his people toek a pailfull of dirty water from the trough of the grindstone, and soused it upon Bradshaw, who was very ill able to with stand such violence, for he has but one leg. This was the story of the circumstance, as repre sented by Mr. Thomson, and other respectable wit nesses; and Mr. HostoNs and Mr. RAwuNsore re quired Mr. Rich to give security for his appearanc e to answer the charge at the Sessions. Lieutenant H. Ramug, of the Royal Navy, was held in his own security of 1001. to keep the peace, he having endeavoured, by a letter, to provoke u Mr. T he cause of their dis pute was heard in a L d u i c d a s not t o figh t transpire. a The ' private room ; but another arose out of it, for the Lieutenant lodged in the house of Mrs. Ann Corny, No. 14, Milton-street, Dorset-square, and when Al lergen, an officer of this place, went there to serve lie warrant upon him, and would not take her dc dal, knowing ha was at home, she turned round, us ie followed her up stairs, and struck him a blow in he face. Mrs. Corney, in her defence, said Alderson had no right to follow her so closely, and he did not be have as he ought to do. Mr. RA:MINSON told her that officers must be protected against violence in the execution of their duty ; and with respect, to the one in question, he was n very peaceable man, and signalized by good conduct.—She was fined 21. ziATTON-GARDEN. The following information respecting a burglary and robbery, committed on the premises of Mr. Collier, No. 72, Hatton-garden, bookbinder, was given at this office on Saturday Lot. The premises are occupied by Mr. Collier, as a workshop and ware house, in which he carries on a very extensive busi ness, but lie does not reside there. Until the esta blishment of the present police system he had always a person to sleep in the house; but when that sys tem was organized, arid its operation extended to Hatton-garden, he conceived that making such a provision for the security of his property was unne cessary, that lie might safely dispense with it, and accordingly he discontinued it. The house was en tirely enclosed, and well protected in the rear, and the front door was secured by a strong lock, of a ver y peculiar construction. Every apartment in the house was also secured by locks, arid on Friday n i g ht Mr. Collier saw that all was safe; and be tween six and seven o'clock the following morning, when he came with keys to admit his workmen, he wa s astonished to find the front door open, and on entering the house he discovered that every door in i t was open, that every apartment had been entered an d carefully ransacked, and that all that was va luable and portable had been taken away. There were, however, no marks of violence having been used any where, except on a writing.deek in the pet. lour, which was forced open and emptied of its ' contents, but they were of no value. It was evi dent, therefore, that the thieves must have effected the burglary by means of skeleton keys or picklocks, and so well adapted were these for the purpose, that not a single lock sustained the slightest injury, for upon the application of their proper keys, they locked and unlocked as usual. A very large number of beautiful albums, finished off' in the most superb and costly style of binding, of a description menu lectured solely by himself, and worth about five guineas each, was carried off, together with nearly an equal number of specimens of large works, single volumes, a quantity of gold leaf, and eight or nine pieces of Irish linen. Mr. Collier was unable to estimate his loss, for he had not ascertained the full extent of it when he gave the information ; but he was perfectly aware that it was very consider able. It appeared that at half-past one o'clock that morning the family of Mr. Horn, a baker, who occupies the adjoining house, were alarmed by the noise of footsteps up and down the stairs of Mr. Collier's house, but there being no party-wall be tween the two houses, they imagined at the time that some persons had entered their own premises, but having searched, and finding themselves de ceived, they retired to rest, thought no more about it, and were not disturbed afterwards. The police man who was on duty in Hatton•garden at the time, stated to Mr. Collier that he had heard or seen no- thing during the night to attract his attention or to excite suspicion, with the exception of a hackney coach, drawn by grey horses, which passed twice along Cross-street, close by the house, but he paid no particular attention to it, particularly as he happened to be engaged at the moment in removing a drunken man to the watch-honse. It is deserving of observation, that this has been the third burglary and robbery committed in this neighbour hood within the last three or four days. The house of Mr. Allwright of Holborn-hill, cheesemonger, was entered and robbed on Wednesday morning last, and the house of Mr. Lomax, of Holborn-bars, jeweller, was broken into and robbed on Thursday morning. WORSHIP-STREIT. HIGHWAY ROTIBERY AND AN ATTEMPT AT Mintpait.—On Friday evening Mr. Samuel Fox, one of the churchwardens of Hackney, came to this office, accompanied by Mr. Pulley, their vestry clerk, to complain of having been, the night before, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, attacked by a party of fellows in disguise, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Fox proceeded to state_ that, at the hour named, he was proceeding homewards from Mile End New Town to his house in Hackney, when, at the toll-bar, he perceived two men before him, who seated themselves on the gate. He passed by them, not at the time supposing they intended him any wrong, and proceeded onwards, when, about 160 yards from the spot mentioned, he met two other men, one of whom, in a sailor's dress, demanded his money. Witness, in reply, said, "Oh ! that is your meaning, is it ? His antagonist imme diately retorted " Yes," and threatened to blow his brains out. Witness, not daunted by the threat, said, " Blow away !" which was followed up by the actual firing of a pistol ; but the bullets of which fortunately escaped without injuring him. Ilis antagonist, not satisfied with an attempt on his life, afterwards attempted, with the butt end of his pistol, to knock him down, when, seeing the case so serious, he offered all he had, 55., which they accepted, and desired him to walk about his business. He did so, and in a few moments after he met two other men, who, he had no doubt, were accomplices, and were the very men whom he before saw at the toli-gate. Having boldly told them he had no more money, they allowed him to pass. lie, (informant) then proceeded to all the public-houses in the neigh bourhood to make inquiries after the new pollee, but received for answer that they had seen none at that hour on duty. On arriving in the centre of Hackney he met with a solitary policeman, to whom he gave ell the facts stated. Mr. TwvFoal) asked him if he had any more money about him ? To which the complainant re plied that he had three sovereigns and a gold watch ; but no thanks to the new police for having them then in his possession. The worthy Magistrate, after a further investiga tion, recommended the parties to report the ease to the Commissioners of the New Police, and, upon that understanding, the parties left the office. On Saturday Thomas Heaviside, a young man of respectable appearance, was finally examined before Morrison r a ris c o l n i p M lo r y . e ß ro n , ou Ni G e ll s T sr o s N . a r g n e d Co.,aofbb ro bb i ng r a s r e e t e l' t " , Cripplegate, and, after a serious admonition from the Magistrate, was discharged. LAMBETH-Mtn:T. A very singular case occurred on Saturday at this office. The following are the particulars : On Thursday evening, between eight anti nine o'clock, as Mr. Fox, one of the overseers of Hack ney parish, was going towards his residence, he had occasion to pass through some fields near the Mile end-road, where he was stopped by two men, who demanded his money, and presenting a pistol at his breast, threatened, if he did not give it up, they would shoot him. Ile endeavoured to get away from them, when they fired the pistol at him. He then ;mopped and gave them and they went away. The next d a y h e gave information of the robbery and outrage committed upon hits, at Wor ship-street rolice-office, and a report of it appeared in some of the daily prints. On Saturday morning a man, named Daniel Sul livan, was brought to the office by one of the new police, who stated, that that morning he saw the prisoner near the East India Docks, and from his suspicious appearance he suspected something was wrong. lie stopped him, and asked him what he had got in his breeches pocket ? He said nothing; but witness found, upon examination, that it was a large horse pistol. The prisoner said he had found the pistol among sonic chips in a barge. Mr. Miller, the chief officer, hearing the polies man's story, and having read an account of the rob bery upon Mr. Fox, suggested to the Magistrates, that perhaps if Mr. Fox were sent for, he might be ►►ble to identify the prisoner as one of the men who robbed him. Accordingly Shelswell, one of the officers, was sent for Mr. Fox, and upon his arrival l►e said, that to the best of his belief, the prisoner was one of the men, but he could not swear posi tively to him. The prisoner was remanded, to afford time for further inquiry. MA ItYLEBON E, Two persons, of the names of Haw and Windsor, appeared on an assault warrant, for violently ill treating a little boy, at present confined in Middlesex Hospital. Webster was desired to ascertain when the boy would be'able to leave the hospital, and to give no tice to the parties when to attend again at the office. In the course of Wednesday information was given at the office that a daring burglary had been com mitted at the residence of Mr. George Greenwood, 27, Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-squere and that ten chased g o ld r i ngs, two dozen of gold - guard rings, 3.5 .half-hoopel rings, a silver snuff-box, shaped like .a pincushion, and two other silver boxes were stolen. In consequence of some particular circumstances connected with the robbery, Alderson, one of the officers, was sent to make inquiries; in the course of so doing he was informed that the police con stable who was on duty on the morning in question, had received information that a robbery was going to be committed,et the same times description of the persons who had planned, and intended to carry the robbery into effect, was given to the officer. The police constable, instead of taking any precaution to ap prehend the offenders, walked away to another part of his beat, and did not return until after the rob bery ltd been committed, and the patties effectea their escape; in consequence of these facts beitip Mated to. Mr. Hoskins, he issued an order for the constable to whom the information had been given to attend at the office, and to give some explanation upon such extraortnary conduct. Accordingly . the constable came to the office yesterday, when a short inquiry was instituted into his conduct. The con stable, in reply, observed that he thought that the person who had mentioned the intended robbery was merely imposing on him, and hod he the least idea of the truth of the information, he certainly should have taken the precaution to apprehend them. Mr. HOSKINS replied that he was far from being satisfied with his conduct, and lie trusted that the Commissioners would suspend him from his duty until the parties were taken, when an investigation would certainly be instituted into the circumstandi connected with the robbery. :NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 16. Jacob Lazarus, a Prussian Jew, described as 4 pedlar, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of James Rallet, Esq., a Captain in the 4th Dragoons. It appeared, from the insolvent's examination, that he lately kept a jeweller's shop at Wernatils where he became acquainted with the opposing ere' ditor, and, on being arrested, in October, Mr. Billet became one of his bail, and he then travelled the country as a pedlar. At Sheffield ho was taken by his bail and brought up to London, and rendered to the King's Bench Prison, at which time (ionwat) he had goods which ha valued at 47!. These goo he immediately sold to another Jew in the prison for', 32/., which sum he had since expended in the our port of himself and family.
