DUBLIN, MAY 5.,-Mr. Medley, Q.C., who presided at the investigation at Shinrone, has presented his report to the Government, detailing the horrible system of getting up Ribbon prosecutions in that part of the King's County, in which policemen were implicated. It is said that the Go vernment have determined upon the dismissal of three of the police —one of them a person of superior station in the force —and also upon the removal to another station of a civil officer holding an appointment in the district. The provincial papers, received this morning, contain further revelations . respecting this atrocious spy system. The Tipperary Vindicator states that a policeman has berm detected' in circulating a vile publication, entitled, " The Swaddler defeated," the object of which was to inflame the Roman Catholic population. An inquiry was in progress by the local authorities. The Limerick Reporter of yesterday contains the fol - lowing : " MORE PADDY M'KEwrs3l.—Two ruffians of this descrip tion, who trade upon the lives and liberties of the incAutious and unwary, have been prowling the country under the cha racter of tinkers, with an ass and car, and* two children ht it ; and, strange to say, that although in every other respoct under the character of, and representing themselves as', tinkers, they had no budget or tools belonging to the trade. Having arrived in the district of O'Brien's-bridge, on Satur day last, instead of inquiring if there were any pots, bellows, or kettles to mend,' their whole inquiries were about the state 'of the country and the feelings of the people. The Repeaters of the district, suspecting their character to be assumed, im mediately informed the police,l - vho apprehended them. The police, finding they could not give a satisfactory account of themselves, searched the car and their persons, when they found with them two blunderbusses, two cases of pistols, a mould for making balls, as also the materials and mode of making powder. This unique pair of tinkers were accord ingly marched off by the police to Killaloe, and having un • dergone an examination before Captain Martin, J.P., were fully committed- to the county gaol at Ennis. There can be no doubt but that the ruffians intended, first to seduce some unwary persons, then to supply them with powder and ball, and afterwards inform against them." Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr.'John O'Con nell, M.P., leaves town this day or to-morrow for London, to attend the discussion on the Irish Municipal Bill. The Tipperary Vindicator states that six families were last week evicted for non-title, from Kildangan, in that county, the property of Lord Norbury. Three of the families were subsequently allowed to re-enter their holdings.

The evidence produced on the trial of Barber, Fletcher and Co shows the , 9 injustice, if :not absurdity, of the system at present adopted by the Bank. It was there stated by Miss Ann Slack, that until this forgery was brought to light, she never knew of her being entitled to the 3,500/. in question, and was receiving the dividends on other stock at the Bank of England, without the least intimation being given to her of her right to this other money. Now, Miss Ann Slack,had it not been for this circumstance, would, in all probability, have gone to the grave quite ignorant on this point, although it was known that she was the legal claimant. For aught we know, there are at this time many poor creatures, in a state of actual starvation, en titled to thousands of this unclaimed property; and who, for want of the required information, are doomed to end thei r m i sera b le ex i stence i n some ob scure garret, or (the last resource of the wretched) a workhouse. Most persons of property are tena cious, while living, of disclosing their wealth ; they often neglect to make a will until the last mo ment, and then, in sa i m p er f ec t a manner, that a correct; detail of the property is never got at. The survivor finds his relative possessed money in some particular stock, and goes to t h e B an k t o cl a i m it accordingly, but should there be more money invested by the same party i n o th er por ti o n s of the funds, he gets no information about it, and very often loses it altogether. Again, the secresy obser ve d by the Bank on these matters is not the least security against frauds, as was shown on the late occasion, where a person hold ing a responsible situation in that establishment, fur nished the delinquents with the necessary information which enabled them ultimately to complete their ne farious designs, so that this man's rank in life was no proof of his being above temptation. Had a list of these dividends been published, the right owner would probably have appeared long ago, and these forgeries not have happened. I differ entirely with you where you propose that after certain publicity, and a lapse of time stated, they should revert to Government altogether. The Government might have the use of them after the adoption of the above proposals ; but they ought (at all events for a long term of years) to b e o p en t o claimants ; and if an office (similar to that of Doctors' Commons) were established for the registry of " Un claimed Stock and Dividends," where, upon payment of a small fee, every person had the facility of exa mining the books, the Government would be spared the odium of being charged with suppres s in g that necessary information which the public a re j us tly en titled to, and much general dissatisfaction allayed. I remain, Sir e your obedient servant, POPULUS DREADFUL DEATH BY FlRE.—Yesterday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital on Mary Woolnough, aged forty-eight, a married woman, of Hatt street, Barking. Police-constable 246 Ii said, that on Sun day night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he was going along Hatt-street, when he heard cries of " police, mur der," and going in their direction he perceived a strong light through the upper window of deceased's house, the door of which lie forced open and found _the interior full of smoke. He went up stairs and found deceased lying on the landing, with her head downwards on the steps, her clothes nearly burnt off, and a bundle of linen lying smouldering by her side. He extinguished the flames, and, procuring a horse and cart, he brought her to that hospital. Mi. Gill, the house-surgeon, sa id deceased was admitted o n M on d a y morn ing between two and three o,.clock, dreadfully burned on the back and lower extremities, and she died in two hours after wards of shock to the system caused by the burns.—Verdict, " Accidental death." ROYAL ARTILLERY. — Brevet - Major Otway's corn pany, 3d battalion, proceeded from Roff's wharf at the early hour of two o'clOck on Tuesday morning, by one of the W oo lwich steam-packets to London, and from Euston square, by railway, en route to Ireland, t o re lieve Captain Gosling's company, B th battalion, preparatory to the return of the latter company to head-quarters at Woolwich, to hold themselves is readn' ten to proceed to a foreign station SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vutiltt Opt!atom " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On his way to Fontainbleau, Louis Philippe alighted at Villejuif, and reviewed the National Guard, attended by the Dukes de Nemours and Montpensier. His Majesty was greeted along the whole of his way with the loudest acclama tions of loyalty. The Presse'announces, that the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the Paris and Belgium - Railroad Bill had been referred for examination, determined, on Tuesday, that this line should be completed at the public expense, and managed by the State for its own account. . Every year (says the Constitutionnel), on the day of the King's file, the Minister of Justice and Public Worship gives a grand dinner, at which the Archbishop of Paris is usually present. .This year the Archbishop did not attend. The Anti de la Religion, one of the organs of the clergy, 'on the other hand, states that the Archbishop of Paris has al ready received sixty adhesions to the reply which he ad dressed to the Minister of Justice and Public Worship on the 13th of March last, relative to the irreligious doctrines taught by the University. ' Paris has seldom had so great an influx of visitors at this season of the year as during the last few days. An Arigers journal states that 3,000 passports have been granted for Pdris in that town within a month, and 6,000 in .the same time at Nantes. The number of arrivals from England has also been much greater than it was at this time last year. It is stated in one of the journals that 27,400 persons were conveyed to and from Versailles' by the right-bank railway on Sunday last, and that the receipts amounted to 42,865 f. According to a letter from Oran of the 22d ult., there was a current report that General Lamoriciere had left Tlemcen at the head of a corps concentrated at that point, and marched towards Sebdou. It was also said that eight Con louglis and an European, who had left Tlemcen to establish themselves at Sebdou, had fallen into the hands of Abd-el- - Kader and his band, and that with the exception of one, who succeeded in making his escape, all had their heads cut off. We learn from Chamounix, in Savoy, that although the snow during the winter fell in great abundance in that valley, it has already entirely disappeared; and that, on the 26th ult., several English tourists succeeded in ascending the Montanvert, which is seldom accessible at such an early period. The Journal de Villefranches states that the wine-growers of the Beaujolais have no hope of a good vintage this year. The old. vines have been frozen at the root, and cannot pro rbte o o u m rn p am ti e v n e t l i y pro duce. The Young vines look well, but the quantity of fruit small. l mentions that serious riots have fro T m he th F e r m ank w f il o l taken place at Munich, in consequence of a rise in the price of beer. A great number of workpeople and soldiers assembled for the purpose of attacking the breweries, but they were dis persed by the authorities, and several of the rioters have been arrested. . LAW AND POLICE. The jury on the trial of the man Crouch fur the murder of his wife, after being locked up without food till a late hour, returned a verdict of guilty, and Baron Alderson passed sen tence of death on the prisoner. William Henry Gaver, 42, a person genteelly dressed, and who was stated to be an attorney, was indicted at the Old Bailey for feloniously uttering a forged certificate of mar riage, alleged to have been solemnised between himself and one Amelia Drayson. The prosecutrix had agreed to live with the prisoner as his wife, and the copy of the register had been prepared to show, in order to produce a belief that she was married to him. They had become acquainted in con sequence of the prisoner being employed by her to copy ma nuscript for the press. The jury returned a verdict of guilt 7, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, but in consequence of the circumstances of the case, a representa tion in his favour will be made to the Secretary of State. Mr. Wilkins applied to postpone the trial of William Bur ton Newenham, charged with the abduction of Miss Wortham, until next sessions. No opposition being made to the motion, the I4arnod Judge ordered the trial to stand over until next sessions. At the Excise Court, John Sykes, tobacco manufacturer, of Red Cross-street, Barbican, was charged on various infor mations with having in his possession articles for the purpose of adulterating tobacco—namely, sugar, molasses, logwood, nutgalls, and copperas, by which he had incurred penalties to the amount of 8001. He was convicted on one informa tion, and fined 251. . _ Henry Dawkins,, a warehouseman; ,in the service of Mr. Swhinson, a worsted and fringe manufacturer in Wood street, was charged at the Guildhall with stealing a large quantity of goods from the premises of his employer, and George Buxton, of Eden-place, Hoxton, fringe and line manufacturer, was charged with receiving a portion of the stolen goods. They were both remanded. A well-dressed man, named Thomas Franks, was charged with having written and sent to the Rev. Clement Strong, 78, Oxford-terraee; Bayswater, a letter, couched in such violent and threatening language, as to cause him (com plainant) to consider his life in danger. He was held to bail. Margaret Mprgan, a young, handsome, an& very fashion ably-dressed Vrencliwoman, was charged at Marlborough street with robbing Mr. Thomas enraham, of No. 7,-Trevor square, Knightsbridge, and a member of the Stock Exchange, of ten shillings in silver. She was committed for trial. John O'Connor, a boy thirteen years of age, was charged at Queen -square with a gross imposition on Mr. Spottis woode, of No. 16, Great George-street, Westminster, by ob ' taining money, under the representation that his mother, whom the complainant had frequently relieved, had been knocked down by a cab and had her leg broken. One of the officers of the Mendacity Society stated that he had known the mother for some years as a begging-letter writer. She had met with no accident. He was sent to hard labour for three months in the House of Correction. COURT•---FILSIZIONALBLE. Last evening the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury entertained at dinner the French Ambassador and the Countess de St. Aulaire, Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Baron Nieumann, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Marquis of Normanby, Marquis of Gririby, Earl of Pem broke, Earl and Countess of Clanwilliam, Viscount and Vis countess Sydney, Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, &e., at their mansion in Grosvenor-square. The Marquis of Anglesey received Viscount and Vis countess Palmerston and a select party at dinner, on Wed nesday evening, at Uxbridge House. The Dowager Countess of Sefton had an evening party on Wednesday, at the f&milv residence in Arlington -street. - His Excellency the Finch Ambassador and Countess have a dinner party at Manchester House on Monday next, after which the Countess has a soiree. The Duke of Devonshire has arrived at Devonshire House, from Kemp Town, Brighton. The Marchioness of Hastings and her youthful family are expected to leave Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, early in the ensuing week, for Donnington Castle. At Almack's on Wednesday night, as was expected, there was rather a full meeting, amounting to at least four hundred. The Marchioness of Londonderry, the Countess of Jersey, and Viscountess Palmerston, were prevented by other en gagements from presiding over the honours of the assembly. The Polka was danced no less than four times. We cannot find room for the full list of company. DZISCEZZA.NEOI79. The Anniversary Festival of the " Sons of the Clergy," was commemorated yesterday afternoon, in St. Paul's Cathedral. Amongst the more distinguished portion of those assembled were the Duke of Cambridge, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of London, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Moon, Mr. Sheriff Musgrove, the Recorder, and other civic dignitaries. After having attended Divine service, a large portion of those present adjourned to the hall of the Merchant Tailors, in Threadneedle-street, where a sumptuous banquet, provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London'Pavern, was served up to upwards of 250 of the clergy and laity. The noblemen and gentlemen members of the Catch Club, have determined to give an entertainment this season to the "ladies," at Willis's Rooms, when the Duke of Beaufort in tends to preside. The day appointed is Friday, the 31st inst., for the dinner, so that a strong muster is expected from the lengthened notice given. A number of distinguished guests have been invited. A return to an order of the Hon. the House of Commons, dated the 2d of. April, 1844, for an account of the quantity of beer exported, from the sth day of January, 1843, to the sth day of January, 1844, gives 146,621 as the number of barrels of beer on which drawback was paid. The 49th annual meeting of the London Missionary So ciety took place on Thursday at Exeter Hall. With the ex ception of the Sunday School Union, this was by far the most numerously-attended meeting of the season. 'l' he chair was occupied by Mr. W. Evans, M.P. The total receipts for the year amounted to 81.8121., the expenditure to 83,5231., show ing an excess of disbursements over income of 4,6251. THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally. preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine' Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortiveany attempt to discover its component parts--thus proving' the imposition of all other articles bearing the t itle of " MacassarOil." The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.—All others are fraudulent counterfeits ! EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE IN PARIS.--A ball took place on Friday night at all the barracks of the Mu- An nicipal Guard on the occasion of the, King's fete. extraordinary and melancholy event occurred at the barracks of the rue Notre Dame des Victoires. At about five in the morning, when the animation was at its highest point, one of the men, who had been danc ing for a long time , sa id to a comrade, " The ball last s too long—l will put an end to it. He immediately left the dancing room, and-a few minutes afterwards an ex plosion being heard, several of the municipal guards rushed out and found their comrade lying dead in the yard, he having blown out his brains with a pistol. The act is attributable to disappointed love.—Galignani. EcLirsEs.—A total eclipse of the moon will take place on the last day of the present month, Friday, the 31st instant. It will commence at fourteen minutes after eight in the evening, and end at twenty-six minutes after one. This eclipse will be visible. 2. That the said duties shall be subject to the additional duty of 51. per cent. on the amounts thereof respectively im posed by the Acts 3 Vic., c. 17, and 5 and 6 Vic., c. 47, except with regard to cordials and liqueurs, which shall be subject to the duty of 4d. per gallon, also imposed by the Acts aforesaid. 3. That the duties now chargeable upon the importation of sheep and lambs' wool, and upon wool of the Alpaca and Llama tribe, and upon goats' wool or hair, and upon the ex portation of wools and skins, and upon " manufactures or pre tended manufactures slightly wrought up, so as that the same may be reduced to and made use of as wool again, 'and upon mattresses or beds stuffed with combed wool or wool fit for combing or carding," be repealed. _ - MARRIAGE OF VISCOUNT NEWPORT TO THE HON. SELINA FORESTER.—The village of Broseley was the scene of extraordinary festivity on Tu es day last, in honour of the marriage of Viscount Newport, eldest son of the Earl of Brad ford, and one of the Members of Parliament for the Northern division of this county, to the Hon. Selina Forester, sister to the Right Honourable Lord Forester, of Willey Park, also in this county. The lovely bride is likewise sister to the Countess of Chesterfield. The rejoicings also extended to the town of Shiffual, which presented quite a holiday appear ance, the joy-bells ringing, and triumphal arches being erected at various points. In addition to these tokens of rejoicing a very large number of poor families, comprising nearly 1,500 individuals, were plentifully regaled with bread, buns, and ale, and two fine cows, and two fat sheep, were divided among them.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. SMUGGLING TOBACCO.—On Wednesday a case came before the county Magistrates at Rochester, in which all the evidence leading to the conviction of the defendant arose from his owri confession to the respective witnesses. The party charged with the offence was Dar. Toplis, tobac conist, of Bermondsey-street, Southwark, and the transaction took place on the Bth of March last, being the conveyance of seventy-three pounds of contraband leaf tobacco from Chat ham to London, by Wrake's waggon ; three other parties have been already convicted for the parts they took in the same transaction, and in this case the defendant was con victed in a penalty of 100/. Mr. Potbury appeared for the Customs ; Mr. Butler for the defence ; the latter intimated that the fine would not be paid, and therefore the defendant was committed to the House of Correction at Maidstone, with hard labour, for six months, the. Magistrates having no power to mitigate, as a former conviction was proved against • THE GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—This annual fancy dress ball is fixed for Tuesday, the 28th instant. The y , Lord Chamberlain yesterday communicated her a Die under a.les. t o : tm had pleasure of again extending her gracious pa 11 g. the ball.

THE LATE MURDER AT BATTERSEA.—On Wed nesday evening the funeral of Mrs. Macfarlane took place at the church of Battersea, amidst a large concourse of specta tors. The funeral left her late residence at five, accompanied by her relatives and friends. The church was crowded by a large congregation, and au immense concourse assembled in the burial ground. We are requested to put shopkeepers on their guard against a man going round, who represents that he comes from the Colonial-office, from a Mr. Wilson. He or ders, or says he shall require, large quantities of goods of such as the parties deal in, and will call again to look at them, his object evidently being to swindle. He has given most extensive orders in the Strand and neighbourhood. Colonel Maberly, Secretary to the Post-office, is in Paris on official business connected with his department. The Hon. Mr. Commissioner Spring Rice, and the Hon. Captain Percy, Commissioner of Excise, have gone to Kilkenny, county Donegal, on official business connected with their respective departments.

DRESDEN, APRIL 29.—Queen Victoria will not -come•to Germany this summer, but the King of Saxony will go to England on the 29th of May, to pay a visit to the English Court. His Majesty will also visit Scotland. The whole journey is to be accomplished in six weeks. BERLIN, APRIL 29.—We hear that a Cabinet order has been issued by the King, directing that the draft of the penal code shall be again laid before the Provincial Assem blies. It is affirmed that it declares that corporeal punish ment shall be abolished. With respect to the Rhenish Pro vince, Commissioners are to be appointed, who are to give opinion on the compatibility of the draft of the penal code with the trial by jury. BERLIN, Arun. 30.—Senor Oliveira, attached to th e Por tuguese Legation at Berlin, is daily expected here with the ratification of the treaty of navi g ation concluded some week s ago between Prussia and Portugal. Baron Kenduffe, the Portuguese Ambassador, is, if not engaged in negotiation yet, on the point of opening them for a commercial treaty with the Customs' Union. ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL 27.—1 t was not till the night before last that the Neva at this city was freed from its icy covering, though it was cleared a week ago at its issue from Lake Ladoga and further down. The breaking up of the ice here took us quite by surprise, so that no preparations were made for taking up the greet floatingbridge between Wassily Ostrow and this city. The bridge was therefore carried down the river by the pressure of the ice to the island Kutusoff. The communication between the city and the islands is at this moment interrupted by the ice coming down from Lake Ladoga. The breaking up of the ice in the Neva always has an unfavourable influence on the temperature. On this occa sion it is accompanied with cold, disagreeable weather and a fall of snow. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 30.—The funeral of the late King took place on the 26th with great pomp ; the weather being extremely fine, the streets were crowded with people from an early hour to see the procession pass, and all the windows and roofs of the houses were filled with company. The manufacturers of 'the town of Norrkoping have re solved to erect an equestrian statue in honour of the late King. Above 20,000 dollars were subscribed in the first few . days: ' _ _ _ _ _ — ft — is reported in Stockholm that the King, to save ex penses, doees not intend to be crowned in either of the two kingdoms, since three other European Sovereigns, the Kings of }ranee, Prussia, and Belgium, have not been crowned. BRUSSELS, MAY 7.—The average price of Wheat last week was 17f. 32c., and that of Rye 10f. 61c. The duties of cus toms remain unchanged. The Chamber of Representatives continued to-day the de bate on the opinion of the Committee of Commercial Inquiry. Only four Members spoke—Messrs. Verhaegen and Hoff schmidt advocated the system of differential duties, which was warmly opposed by Messrs. Vandensteen and Delfosse. To-morrow the debate will be opened by M. Ch. de Brorie kere, who will speak in favour of the measure. ROYAL ACADEMICIANS' BOAT RACE. The gentlemen of the Royal Academy Boat Club yesterday opened their season with a very spirited four-oared cutter race, the crews, as usual, being drawn by lot. The match had been originally fixed for Tuesday, but as the tide would not serve after four in the afternoon, and as that early hour was inconvenient to boaters in general, it was postponed until yesterday, when the gentlemen met at their rooms, at the Messrs. Searle's, and• their names having been drawn, took their seats in the following order Yellow-1. Dearmer. 2. Emery. 3. H. M. Cooper. 4. Atkinson. Cameron, steerer. Green-1. Rainback. 2. C. Carpenter. 3. D. Cooper. 4. Harvole. C.D. Smith, steerer. Blue-1. Howard. 2. Moorhead. 3. Knox. 4. Revel. C. Smith, steerer. At a quarter past ten they took their stations at Westmin ster-bridge to race to Putney, blue being on the Middlesex side, green on the Surrey, and yellow in the middle. On the signal being given, blue took the lead, followed by yellow, green being close up. A very splendid pull followed between yellow and blue, who drew a length or more in advance of the third boat, which ultimately ended in yellow taking the lead off the Penitentiary, and showing. the party the nearest route to Putney-green ; then came up to blue, and challenged them to a fresh struggle, and after a very lengthened sport, on their arrival at Vauxhall-bridge, green overhauled their opponents and went into the second place. Yellow had by this time drawn so far ahead as to make their victory, barring accident, certain, and they continued to lead well the entire way, and won by nearly twenty lengths ; green was second, and blue close behind them. The Guys, the Aca demy eight, the St. George's, and a good sprinkle of lesser boats were out. 'MORE DISCONTENT.—The collectors of taxes are now making (for just cause) additional complaint respecting their per centage, The Government officers have orders not to allow them per centage below 18s. ; thus, if a collector pays 101. 18s., nothing is allowed upon the shillings. Now, col lectors have very often more trouble in collecting 18s. than 18/. ; for instance, two dogs at Bs. 9d. each of two labourers, and those trivial sums, have to be collected (just the same as large amounts) at two half years. Bat, mark, the Go vernment charge duty down to 10d.! Well may public dis content gradually increase, and even, as it does, amongst the Peel party. THE NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL.—The just tribute due to Mr. Rowland Hill seems to progress favourably throughout the country, and will do more so when the plans of committees get into working. Poor people appear anxious to give their penny each, and other individuals according to their relative situations in life. FANCY FAlR.—Yesterday a sale of useful and ornamental work took place at - Willis's Rooms, in aid of the objects of the Church Missionary Society in China, the Lon don Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews in Jerusalem, and the Protestant Association in England. A large number of ladies had stalls, and the articles exposed for sale were rapidly disposed of to great advantage. DEATH OF LADY LECALE.—By the demise , of this lady the Leinster family are placed in mourning. Her Ladyship died at her seat in Devon, on Monday last, in her 66th :c'ear. In 1808, her Ladyship married Lord Charles Fitzgerald, third son of James, Ist Duke of Leinster, created in the following year Baron Lecale, a title which ho only enjoyed for a year after his creation, for he died in 1810. The late Lady Locale was widow of Mr. T. Carton, previous to marrying Lord Charles Fitzgerald. ROBBERY OF A PUBLICAN.—On Tuesday the now old scheme of plundering was successfully applied at the house of Mr. Woodrough, the Peacock, Newington-butts.
