USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.--The world are pretty generally acquainted with the case of William C hbett, which has gone almost the length 4 the London newspapers, that it will be unnecessary to repeat it here. The following testimonials may serve to confirm the facts of Cohbett's case, alluded to in his " Register " of the 23d of June : " Sir,—While serving the office of first lieutenant of a line -of-battle ship off Toulon, in 1809, I had the misfor tune, through extreme (view., to bring on a rupture. Since that period I have tried every description of truss which came to my knowledge, but I never succeeded in supportiog the hernia effectually until 1831, when I pur chased two of your patent trusses; and it is but justice to ow n that no descent has occurred since I have worn them, and I freely give you liberty to publish this testimonial in favour of your excellent invention.—l am, Sir, yours, obediently, " J. C. BAKER, Commander, Royal Ntyy, No. 28, Duke-street, Manchester-square." " To Mr. Coles, Charing-cross. " Oct. 17, 1832." " TO MR. COLES. " Sir, —Having the misfortune to rupture myself several years ago, I purchased one of Salmon's self-adjusting Truss e s, which, although it afforded me considerable relief, did not entirely keep the rupture in its place; particularly When I had to stand for any length of time, I felt a disa greeable gnawing pain, attended with a hearing down of th e hernia, en that I was frequently unable to wear the truss. In mentioning to a friend what I suffered, he stron t ly advised me to try one of your p.tent, which I did, and found to my great comfort that it kept up the rupture afrctually, without producing any of those painful sensations which I had endured while wearing the Balt and Socket Trn•s, and I can now stand or walk for hours together without the least pain or inconvenience ; in fact, as well as though I never hail been ruptured. I send you Otis statement to make what use of it you please. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM MATTHEWS, " Quarter-Master, Royal Artillery. " Woolwich, Sept. 12, 1832." " For thirty years past I have been wearing Trusses of different kinds, but never found one of them to keep up the Rupture effectually, until thirteen months since I pur chased one of Coles's Patent, of Charing-cross ; and althou g h try rupture came down in a most frightful m in ner then, it has never come down since, nor hate I scarcely the appearance of my ever having had such a complaint. At toy age, '77 years, I do not inttnd to leave off wearing 4 Truss, and I know too well the importance of his inge 4ious contrivance to keep the world in ignorance of it. "JAMES SHARE, Commander R.N. " 28th May, 1832." 19, Bury-street, Bloomsbury " Colonel Francklin informs those who have Ruptures, that he has been wearing Trusses thirty years, and he never met but with one individual who was master of the complaint. He has likewise an elder brother, a Colonel in th e Honourable East India Company's service, who has Worn a similar kind of Truss for many years, who can Il aY the same. Mr. Coles, of Charing-cross, is the indi vidual alluded to. " Blackheath, July 16, 1832." A surgeon of the Royal Navy, about sixty years of age, Who had been wearing Trusses of several different kinds, employed one of Coles's manufacture, and ere he bad half Worn it out, threw it aside and left his Trusses in London, While he made a tour on the Continent. Bing at sea and exposed to severe weather, a sea-sickness broueht on the complaint, and I.e was compelled a second time to Wear his Truss, and after wearing it about twelve months, has again been perfectly cured, and does not wear a Truss. Sir Astley Cooper knows a case which bad been getting Worse for 30 yews, and which had (soaped a hundred times in a day, and does not escape now from Coles's Truss. A gentleman at Lloyd's Coffee-house has also sent Mr. Coles a similar testimonial of his case, which had been of thirty years' standing. If gentlemen who furnish Trusses for the West Indies, Would give orders to transmit the particulars of each case, and to send the form and size round the body one inch above the rupture, trusses of the best construction may be Procured at very little less expense than is now paid for the Most inferior kinds. g ..* Read " Coles's Gazette of Health, on the Treat. tuent of Ruptures," published at No. 3, Charing-cross. FOR the CURE of COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHAMS, SHORTNESS of BREATH, &c. &c. WALTER'S ANISEED PILLS.—The numerous and respectable testimonials daily re ceived of the extraordinary efficacy of the above Pills, in curing the most distressing and long-established diseases of the pulmonary and respiratory organs, induces the Proprietor to recommend them to the notice of those af flicted with the above complaints, conceiving that a Me eieine which has now stood the test of experience for se veral years, cannot be too generally known. They are composed entirely of balsamic vegetable ingredients, and are so speedy in their beneficial effects, that in ordinary cases a few doses have been found sufficient ; and, unlike most Cough Medicines, they neither affect the head, con fine the bowels, nor produce any of the unpleasant sensa tions so frequently complained of. The fillowing Cases are submitted to the public from many in the Proprietor's possession:— K. Boke, of Globe-lane, Mile-end, was perfectly cured of a violent cough, attended with hoarseness, which ren den d his speech inaudible, by taking three or four doses. E. Booley, of Queen-street, Spitalfields, after taking a few doses, was entirely cured of a most inveterate cough, which lie had had for many months, and tried almost every thing without success.

It stated that since the last report 30,0001. had been borrowed upon interest at five per cent, per annum; and it was announced that a further sum of 30 000/. was wanted. After some observations by Mr. HumE, it was carried unanimously that a further sum of 30,0001. be granted in aid of the funds for its erection. •--- The " R e c or d s o f my Life," —by the late Josh TAYLOR, Esq., not only comprise original anecdotes and sketches of celebrated and singular characters that have lived within the last half century, with most of whom the author was upon terms of intimacy, but they embrace also many of their private letters.

It appeared from the evidence of another officer that he had promised to procure the papers for 125., but after repeated appointments failed to produce them. Sergeant Palmer stated that the prisoner Gode rich had only been known in St. Giles's during the last week or a fortnight, arid she was a strolling actress, who was formerly employed as a dancer at one of the theatres. Goderich did not deny having been concerned in stealing the coat and other property from the prose curer while he was asleep, but said that " Honest Bill" snatched it from her and ran off. Reeves told the same sort of story. Herne denied all knowledge of the transaction. Mr. ROGERS now asked Hutton what he had to say for himself. The circumstance of his having possession of the duplicate for the prosecutor's cost was an exceedingly suspicious circumstance, when coupled with his boasted knowledge of the papers belonging to Mr. Bennett. Hutton—l have only to say that what the officer has stated is all false. I did not say I would pro duce the papers; and as to the duplicate of the coat, I found that in the street. The prisoners were fully committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.

Yesterday a numerous body of gentlemen, friends to Mr. Lyall, assembled at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting measures to se cure the return of that gentleman as a Member for the representation of the City of London in Par liament. WILLIAM WARD, Esq., the late Member for the City, was unanimously called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the assembly allu ded to the professions and promises made by some of the other candidates with regret, and deprecated the undue influence which appeared to have been exercised by the demand of pledges, as a security for the con duct of the representatives. If he were to inquire anything of men who promised to interfere with so many interests, it would be to know how many in terests they intended to leave undisturbed-- (Cheers)—whether their feelings of loyalty were such as distinguished former periods, and whether they did not feel indignation at the insult offered to the Queen of England.—(Cheers.) He approved of Mr. Lyall as a representative, because he thought that gentleman competent to represent the mercan tile and shipping interests of the City of London. Mr. THOMAS WILSON rose to propose the first resolution. Mr. BLANCHARD seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Alderman LUCAS then rose to propose Mr. LYALL. Mr. Moaars seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Alderman BROWN moved the third resolution. Mr. LYALL then rose to address the meeting, who were evidently much disappointed at the exhibition. He observed that some of the other candidates had offered pledges and opinions. He had already de clared that he would give no pledges. Decision ought to follow, not to precede, discussion and deli beration. He was not connected with any political party. He acknowledged himself an admirer o► a Constitution composed of the three Estates, accord ing to the principles established by our ancestors. He was willing to reform any abuse, to repair any deficiency—in fact, to accomplish any reform con sistent with the welfare of the country. and not cal culated to endanger it.—(Cheers.) He confessed he was in a certain measure a Reformer, but his ob ject was to preserve, not to destroy. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Committee was formed, and the meeting,, separated REGISTRATION IN MARYLEBONE. The revision of the lists for this borough was commenced yesterday, by Messrs. Palk and Sandys, at the Court-house, Marylebone. The overseers' returns will form a large constituency, though far less numerous than it might have been had the whole of the householders qualified in the proper time ; as it is, it will be about 10,000. Of these there are 4,230 in Marylebone parish, and 32 claimants. In Pancras the lists contain about 4,000. We did not ascertain the exact number in Pad dington. The whole of the lists were not revised when the Courts adjourned. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Yesterday about 150 of the electors of the county of Middlesex dined at the White Horse Inn, Ux bridge. Lord Henley, candidate for the county, was invited. Mr. NEWDIGATE took the chair. After the usual toasts were given, The CHAIRMAN felt great pleasure in having the opportunity to propose the health of Lord Henley, the candidate for the county. He considered it derogatory to the dignity of the county, that Mr. Hume should say that he was the representative of it.—(Hear, hear.) Lord HENLEY rose, and was received with loud cheers. He entertained the most sincere desire to perform his duty in Parliament, and what more could be fairly or justly required of him ?—(Hear, hear.) Some persons thought he went too far, and others that he did not go far enough. Since he had been called upon to come forward to represent the county he had canvassed the town of Uxbridge, and he sincerely regretted that he had not had an opportunity of waiting upon every elector. In one instance a shopkeeper had put this question to him, " Sir, are you an advocate for political unions ?" He certainly was pleased at the interrogatory, for although he differed with violent men on both sides, nothing so strongly excited his aversion as a politi cal union. —(Cheers.) His mind was most decidedly and irrevocably made up as to the evil tendency of political unions. His answer satisfied the honest and independent elector and he secured his suffrage. In the three estates of the realm was vested the sovereign power, and an union that attempted to bully the Parliament was unconstitutional, and re pugnant to the spirit of the laws.—(Cheers.) The West India question was one of great importance and interest to the people of England. He had had the misfortune to excite the dissatisfaction in some parts of the county by his first advertisement, but he pledged himself to a speedy and complete aboli tion of West India slavery, not to be effected by blood and rapine, certainly not; he was seeking a great Christian end, upon Christian principles, and by Christian means, and those principles forbade the doing of evil that good might come.—(Cheers.) Another question that more particularly and deeply interested the country, and particularly the agri cultural interest, was the corn laws. He could not conscientiously and fairly give any pledge upon that most vital subject. The amount of the public debt, and the necessity which existed for a heavy taxation to meet the i n t eres t u p on i t , ren deredit a matter of extreme difficulty to alter the corn laws. But he would go into Parliament unfet tered by decided pledges upon this question, and should then feel most competent and fit to deal with it.—(Hear, hear.) The next question upon Several speeches were made, and the prrty sepr rated at a late hour. MR. H UME• S FR lEND S. Last night a numerous meeting of the friends of Mr. Hume took place at White Conduit House tavern, William Hanley, Esq., in the chair. Mr. HUME, in a very lung address, explained his political principles, which are well known to the public, hav:ng been frequently published. He alluded to Lord Henley's plan of church reform as one not likely to effect any thing for the benefit of the people. He said Lord Henley was a supporter of Ca•tle retgh's Administration, and, as a reward for his ser vices, he was appointed a Master in Chancery, by which he pocketed 4,000/. of the public money an nually. He had been openly accused of atheism by the supporters of that Nobleman, but he should like them to come forward and put their piety in juxraw. position with his, and let the electors be the judges. tie made some further remarks on the means used to send in Lord Henley, mid stated that Mr. Han nibal Sandys, brother to the revising barrister for the county, had issued a circular calling upon the elee, tors to vote in his Lordship's favour. Mr. BRADEN said the Times had called Mt. Home 1 mere pound, shilling, and pence-man ; he took leave to say that Mr. Hume must, therefore, be just uch a man as they wanted, because it was neces sary that the people should have un accountant in (he House of Commons to see how the public money was disposed of. He asked M. Hume's Opinion on the assessed taxes and negro slavery ; in reply to which Mr. Hume stated that he was de cidedly in favour of an abolition of the assessed taxes, but he was for a gradual and cautious eman cipation of the negroes. Other speakers addressed the meeting in support of 51r. Hume, and resolutions in his favour were adopt( d The Harlequin steamer arrived yesterday from Rotterdam, bringing the Amsterdam Courant of yesterday. The Dutch Funds remained nearly stationary, the Two-and-a-Half per having been on Tuesday 10 : 1 ,- to 41, leaving off 40 7-16. It appears that 29 sail of English vessels remained at Rotterdam yesterday whets the Harlequin left. Private accounts received by this ,•onveyance state that his Dutch Majesty has demanded further time to consider the proposals made by England ,nd France, some of them being quite new, and requiring - , herefore, the most mature deliberation. Tile KING, it is said, will avail himself of this delay to inform the State-,-, General that he sees himself abandoned by Prussia, and tr. announce the necessity of surrendering the citadel of Ant, werp. This important point, it appears, has been in spected by a Committee of artillery and engineers, who re ported that, although it formerly might have resisted for two or three months against any invading force, it would now, from the peculiarly well-chosen situation of the new Belgian batteries, be liable to be stormed and taken in as many days, although such a step might be attended with a considerable sacrifice of life on the part of the assailants. This opinion, issuing, as it does, from very competent mi litary authorities, is supposed to have gone a considerable way in making the King of Holland lower his tone. Be that as it may, the protracted stay of the Dutch Ambassa dor in London, after an embargo and quasi-declaration of war, goes a great way to countenance these rumours. The Dutch seem to be sensible, however, of the danger. They admit that the invention of steam-boats has materially lessened the former perils of blockading their coast ; they are free to confess that steamers may take the British and French line-of-battle ships in tow, and, with very little damage, convey them up the Scheldt, past Flushing, andk the 700 heavy pieces of artillery which bristle its tiat., teries; in which case the citadel of Antwerp could rot hold out for many hours ; nay, General Chass, with hi, garrison, would be cut off and taken prisoners of war, and all the Dutch navy in the Scheldt inevitably captured. To, Dutch Government must be aware of these valuable paints is well as individuals, and act upon them as soon as it— dares. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.—Amid the mass of interesting correspondence given in this work for the present month, there is an important communication from Sir ANDREW HALLIDAY, comprising an account of his now matured plan for a Naval and Military Lunatic Asylum, upon a new principle of construction, the result, as the learned Physician explains, of an examination of ear plans of the Lunatic Asylums in Europe, in addition to, s, thirty years' study of the disease itself. Sir Artv,xxvi's letter, relative to this humane and excellent project, is il lustrated by a perspective view of the intended building. A few days ago two children, one three and the other only Imo years old, were playing together at the door of a cottage in the neighbourhood of Pompaire, Deus Sevres, when a wolf suddenly made its awe trance, sprang upon the eldest, and carri.-d it off. The younger child raised an alarm by his cries, and after some difficulty it was made out that a great dog had run away with his brother. The inhabitants of the village immediately went out in pursuit. Their search was tor several hours fruit less, but at last, when upwards of a league from the cot tage, their attention was attracted by some f aint cries which issued from a thick hedge. On examining the spot, they found the lost child, covered up by a quantity of thorns and briars, without having received tne slightest injury. There is no doubt its prey, wolf, fi n di ng i tself pursued, thus carefully deposited prey, in order to re sume it when the coast was clear.-- Galignani's m, c4 , sengtr. • e l s a e the rs arefollowing fa mi i i g i o r o w d i a t t;:e to t e s : ;.; AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—The Editor of th e 1 1 Exeter Probably N e wsmany L ol t e o r ur te r l of the shipmaster from New Bedford, who, after perform ing many whaling voyages, comtnandel a small brig tg e ,, British were er Demerara.

Here," be continued, addressing iiis mate, ~ take the end of the line, and stand by to haul that fellow in." He then raised the ugly-looking weapon, poised it above his head, and was on the point of throwing, when the English officer, not particularly liking to have a har poon thus unceremoniously driven through his lyply by the stalwart-looking Yankee, started back aghast, de claring that he would not tight with such ungentlemanly weapons. The Yankee as obstinately persisted in not fighting with any others...4mi the duel did not take place, ) l c 7- iSt.k.7 ;44 which he should ex Otisitia villirtitte: urc!t. He had, as his best tenili%ivell ill wt,., s sincere af fection for the opinions 'if, Nit tAttssfstft brethren, whom be acknowledged to be most ready and wil ling promoters of religious and spiritual education► for the rising generation, and the zealous advocates for the abolition of slavery at home and abroad. He was satisfied that many of the best men he knew were in their ranks, and he advocated religious fret. dom throughout the world. Anything in the shape of partiality on the score of religious opinion was abhorrent to his nature.—(Loud cheers.) But he was a churchman and an advocate for a national es tablishment, as beneficial and necessary. He wt determined to support the established church in every legal and lawful way.—(Cheers.) Those er dowments possessed by the church were as much the right of the church, and as inalienable from ecclesiastical purposes, as the estate of any gentle man in the company. He could not imagine such a situation of public affairs as could justify the State in alienating that property, which he considered sacred.—(Hear, hear.) He was free to discuss other things which had a tendency to defeat that friendly intercourse between the church and the people. With a view to effect so desirable an object, he would promote a proper commutation or composition, and he could not see any prospect of being ever able to concede more. It was quite clear that the hierarchy were quite alive to the 111 , = cessity of a change, and he was sure that many months would not elapse before the question would be fully brought forward by persons capable of de riding the question. He admitted that the ques tion bad alienated the feelings of a great portion of the people from the established church, and he sincerely trusted that the subject would he so ar ranged as to render permanent the established church, and satisfy the people.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded, by expressing his willing ness to answer any question that ►night be put to him:; and sat down amidst loud and long continued cheers.

Mr. BrCKERSTETtt and Mr. JACOB appeared in this case for the plaintiff, the assignee of an insol vent debtor, and the bill sought to have it declared that an indenture conveying the insolvent's interest in certain freehold and leasehold estates in Somerset shire to the defendant, his uncle-in-law, was fraudu lent and void, and that the property might be re conreyed to the plaintiff for the benefit of cre ditors. In 1828, House, the insolvent, being under will entitled to, and in possession of, the property in question, became indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 90/. fer rent; and repeated solicitations for payment having been unattended to, Stuckey, on the 6th of December, arrested the insolvent, who then took the benefit of the Act. Immediately before his arrest, he came up to Brentford, where the de fendant lived, when it was agreed to convey his in terest in the property for 1001., out of which an al leged debt of 40/. to Drewe, for money lent, was to be paid. An indenture was accordingly prepared, and the conveyance effected. On House's return to the country a mock sale was made of the farming produce and utensils; and it was in evidence that he then declared he had made over the property safely enough to Drewe, and that he should go to the Fleet in order to pay off the debt of Stuckey. The liabilities of the insolvent amounted to 1,142.., and his assets to 33/.; it was clear, therefore,t hat the sale had taken place in contemplation of insolvency. Mr. BEAMES and Mr. STINTON appeared for the defendant, and called the attention of the Court to a body of evidence, for the purpose of showing that there had been no fraudulent concert between the insolvent and the defendant. His Hosoutt said, he was very much inclined to think that this sale had been merely colourable; if, however, it had been made bona fide, and not co lourably, he was of opinon that it had proceeded altogether on the motion of the insolvent, and that it was therefore a voluntary conveyance. It gave a fraudulent preference to Drewe for his debt, and although the inconsiderable value of the subject should have led the parties to settle the question without the expense of a suit in equity, yet the Court was hound to say, that being a voluntary con veyance withi n the true construction of the Act, it should be avoided, and with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 8. THE KING V. BERNEL AND ANOTHER. This was an indictment against the defendants Bernel and Lloyd, and two others, for a conspiracy fraudulently to obtain and dispose of the goods of the prosecutor At the trial at the Assizes, before Mr. Jus , ice James Parke, the defendants Berne! and Lloyd were convicted and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. They now appeared in Court, and Mr. John Williams moved on their be half to set asid e th e ver di c t, as b e i ng against evidence. The COURT, however, refused to disturb the verdict. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, however, said the Court could not entertain the application. EX-PARTE WALTER, ESQ. Sir J. SCARLETT was instructed to make an ap plication to the Court on the part of John Walker, Esq., a Magistrate of the county of Berks, and one of the candidates for the representation of that county in the next Parliament, for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Frederick Thomas Ward, who was an attorney or an attorney's clerk at Maidenhead, for the publication of a libel calculated to prejudice Mr. Walter's interest at the election. The libel was contained in a placard or handbill, which had been made the subject of a similar application, at the in stance of Mr. Walter, against the printer, Mr. Heath, of Abingdon. He (the Learned Counsel) on the first day of the term obtained a rule for a criminal information against Mr. Heath, but since that time, as well as before, the handbill had been circulated with great industry in the county of Berks. The affidavits showed that Mr. Ward had been found employing people to stick up the bills in and about the town, and when asked whether he did not know that this Court had granted a rule against the printer of the bill, he admitted that he did. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take 8 rule. Ru e Yui granted. MAR YLER ONE. Yesterday James Kavener and Henry Syson were placed at the bar, charged by Colley, the agent of the Commissioners of Stamps for apprehending per sons for vending unstamped newspapers, the former for selling the Cosmopolite Newspaper and Almanac, and the latter for selling t he Poor Man's Guardian. Kavener has been twice committed before from Marlborough-street, and once from this office, and was therefore now committed for three months. Syson was committed for one month. Q UEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a young man named Robinson May, dressed rather-shabby genteelly, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. WHITE, charged with committing the following daring out rage at the Council-office ►n Downing -street : Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon the prisoner was in Downing•street, when, without any provocation whatever, he took up a large stone, and, in the most deliberate manner, threw it with great violence against the windows of one of the rooms ; the stone nearly hit one of the messengers, and, front the force with which it came in at the window, he had a very narrow escape of receiving a serious injury. Police-constable Culwick, of the A division, No. 2.5, saw the transaction, and secured him by the collar to prevent him doing further mis chief. Tha prisoner, it appeared, had just before bro ken the windows at the Board of Trade-office. A number of persons were soon attracted to the spot, and the constable took him to the station-house, followed by a crowd of people. On searching 'nig person a pocket-book was found, containing nothing but memorandums of no consequence, and a razor. The prisoner was seeking redress for his wrongs. Mr. WHITE observed that it was a most extra ordinary method of obtaining redress. The prisoner replied, that he was the expected Saviour, come on earth to put his Majesty and Lord Brougham to rights ; they owed him two millions of money, and he was confident that he should have it. It appeared, from further questions, that he had lived clerk some time ago with Mr. Ramsden, a capillaire-maker, in Brook-srreet, Holborn. The damage done to the windows was estimated at 15s.,which the prisoner was unable to pay, and he was committed for one month to the House of Cor rection. Some time after, a brother and sister of the pri soner, who had heard of his being apprehended, came to the office. The brother, addressing the Magistrate, said tha he prisoner was insane. Mr. WHITE recommended him to go to the Cold bath-fields prison, and represent the case to the sit ting Magistrates, and he was certain that they would see that he wes properly taken care of for the future. The applicant thanked the Magistrate mid withdrew. HATT ON- GARDEN. Yesterday, Eleanor Goderich, a beautiful-looking girl, aged 16, and Esther Reeves, aged 15., were brought up for final examination, charged by Mr. James Bennett, a mining agent, of Sr. Austle, Corn wall, with having robbed him of property, consisting of gold, silver, bills of exchange, securities, and other documents, of the value of 600/. Edward Hutton, a fellow of forbidding aspect, aged 19, and William Herne, alias Honest Bill, were also charged on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery, or receiving the property knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Bennett now has a temporary residence dur ing his stay in town at the Queen's Arms Tavern, Cheapside. On Tuesday, the 30th of October, he arrived in London from St. Austle, Cornwall, for the purpose of transacting some business, when he brought with hire his pocket-book, containing money, bills of exchange, securities, miming shares, and other documents, of great value. About eleven o'clock at night he was walking along Holborn, and he asked the prisoner Goderich, whom he met, whether she could recommend him to comfortable lodgings, to which she answered in the affirmative, and she led him to a place in St. Giles's, and intro duced him to an apartment of the meanest descrip tion, in which he found the prisoner Reeves in bed upon the floor. He said the lodgings would not suit him, and was preparing to leave the house, when Goderich told him she would procure him a more suitable place, and he made her a present of some silver ; Reeves jumped up and commenced dancing about the room, while Goderich ran out and brought in a mug, which she said contained liquor, and pre sented it to him to partake of, which he did, and in a few seconds he became so drowsy that he fell into a sound sleep, from which he did not awake until about half-past three o'clock in the morning, when he found himself stripped of his coat, shoes, and other property, and the prisoners Goderich and Reeves gone. He made an alarm, and was nearly deprived of his senses on finding his loss, and he remained in the house until Sergeant Palmer, of E division, No. 5, came and provided him with clothes, and took him to the station-house. Mr. ROGERS inquired whether he saw anybody else but the prisoners Goderich and Reeves while he was in the house? Mr. Bennett did not. He was a stranger in Lon don, or he should not have gone to the place. He had since understood it was known by the name of "Rat's Castle," and the " Rookery," a most noto rious receptacle. He was happy to say that the prisoners could not avail themselves as to the pro perty, and he had stopped payment of other bills at the Bank, &c. He had, since the robbery, traced his coat to the possession of the prisoner Hutton, but had not heard of the remainder of his property. George Palmer, the police -sergeant mentioned above, described the situation in which he found Mr. Bennett. He apprehended Goderich the same evening. On charging her with the robbery she was silent, and in their progress to the station house he met Reeves, whom he also took into custody. A crowd assembled,and a voice exclaimed, " Honest Bill has got the money." Having a know ledge of the prisoner Herne, who is generally known in St. Giles's by that appellation, he proceeded to a flash -house and apprehended him. Esther Reeves was the first to speak, and she stated that she would tell the truth at the office. She then said, " After the prosecutor drank out of the mug and went to sleep, we (Gode ri c h a nd h e rself) ro bb e d him of his coat, boots, and Bfd. On leaving the house we met with William Herne, and returned with him into the room, and while in the dark searched the prosecutor's pockets, when Herne took the pocket book, and put it into his breast-pocket. On arriving a short distance from the house he demanded some thing to think on which Goderich took out the handkerchief containing the property, and he snatched it from her and ran off. Robert Hewson, a police constable, apprehended Hutton, and found in his possession the duplicate of a coat, which proved to be Mr. Bennett's. William Randall, a police-constable, stated that Hutton had said to him, " You are too fast, you'll get nothing from me by that; if you had not been so fast the whole of the papers, and other property,
