Mr. Currie shortly after discovered that a false address had been given, and consequently he lost all clue to the pri soner, who never afterwards came near him ; but Mr. Currie (to use his own expression) " hunted" him out in various parts of the city; and having ac cidentally met him in the city, he gave him into the charge of a police-officer, who took him to the Compter, and on the following day he was brought brought up to Guildhall, from whence he was sent to this office, the transaction having occurred in the district.

MORISON'S UNIVERSAL VEGETABLE MEDICINE. TO THE GENTLEMEN (NOT THE MEDICAL MEN) OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH, CARLISLE. GENTLEMEN,—I deem it a duty I owe to you, to the public, and myself, to make a few statements on the pro ceedings of the medical men, sanctioned by the Board of Health, with respect to myself; and I beg to state, that I am far from attaching any blame to the Gentlemen (not professional) of that Board. The number of medical men on the board —the prejudices (natural to every one) in fa vour of old-established theories,—the awful nature of the present crisis,—and your want of acquaintance with the Hygeian System, —are sufficient, in the estimation of any reasoning mind, to exonerate you. It rests with me, how ever, to do my utmost to disabuse your minds, and those of the public; and Permit me, first, as firmly convinced to say that were I not in my own mind as that I exist, that the Vegetable Universal Medicine will in all cases prevent and cure when taken in time, I would not—however my personal interest might run—l dared not—hold out the le ast hope to any one that would lead them to try it. He "• - Who would I should consider as a trafficker in human blo o d . I must (having thus premised) state, that I have been represented to you by the medical men as the vender of a quack medicine. This I deny. lam an agent for Mr. Morison, the disccvarer of the Vegetable Universal Me dicine, and am as independent in my profession as any me dical man in Carlisle is in his, and as far as character goes f ully as respectable. The Doctors ere long may find me as well supported. The charge on which I was convicted is, that I visited Cholera patients, administered medicine, and advised them not to take medicine from the Doctors. This is true ; and I did it from principle. I visited all who sent for l ne, and administered to them, and very naturally advised them to take no Doctors' medicine. How could I know i the effects of another man's medicine ? I knew, and was confident in the Vegetable Universal Medicine. Of this great crime I was convicted ; or in other words, I was convicted of, and fined for, curing persons of the Cholera ; and, I am bold to say, that I have not yet taken a case of Cholera in hand, when the Doctors have not been allowed to interfere, but I have cured, besides hundreds who have been prevented taking it by the use of the Vegetable Uni versal Medicine. I fear, Gentlemen, my remarks may be rather long, but I cannot pass over the manner of this prosecution without a word. The ill-success of the medical men in - cases of Cholera had prejudiced the minds of the people, so that they refused to submit to their treatment ; but life is sweet; they heard that I was curing, and I was called on on all hands. In a few days I published ten cures. (How mortifying to Doctors to be beaten by a man who had never been at College !) Something must. be done to stop me. A person was set to watch if I charged any thing. (Let the Apothecary deny that !) This failed ; profit was not my object. Then a trap must be laid. Complaint was made to the Board of Health. The Secretary was directed to command me to make my returns as a practitioner. Then I should be liable to a heavy penalty ; this failed also : I was male of the law. At length comes a des perate effort. —The Ilygeist is taken in the act of attend ing a Cholera patient; no less than three medical practi tioners come to witness the atrocious act. "We have halos now ! The patient will not take our medicine. He roust have advised her not to Flo so." A summons was sent, and I was convicted of the atrocious act of trying to cure a patient of the Cholera ! !ts Gentlemen, can you tell use under what act I was condemned ? It was certainly a stretch of law, but I can appeal to the sessions. Such has been the prosecution. I shall now merely inform you that the Hygeian Theory and Medical men's practice are totally at variance. The Doctors may continue their prosecutions—it is natural they should ; for I can assure them the Hygeist contem- Platea nothing less than making every man his own Doctor. The Hygeian Theory, like other improvements, has for y e ars been gradually progressing; arid the Doctors, like f `uacks, will find as the public mind becomes enlightened, that the Hygeists are no contemptible body.

HORRIBLE MURDER.—On Saturday a most dreadful outrage against humanity was committed at liorncliff, not far from Berwick, which has struck the whole district with horror and amazement. Two lads, of the names of PAXTON and PERC v, had had a dispute about a gamecock, which led to frequent quarrels, and on the day above mentioned, they again came to high words, and, it is said, eventually to blows. Whilst this was going on, PEacY's father, an old man, procures a large knife, and deliberately attacking his son's opponent, stabbed him in the belly, cutting him across, so that his bowels, as he fell, protruded on the ground. Not content with this dreadful deed, he turned upon Parrox's brother, another young man who came up to assist, and stabbed him in several places ! The first victim lingered till Sunday morning, in great agony, wh e n death relieved him from his sufferings ; the other young man still survives, but in a hopeless state. The old monster retired to a corn field, and cut his own throat, but not effectually, as he was found bl ee di ng s h ort l y a f ter, an d t h e wound having been attended to, he is likely to survive to stand his trial for these horrid crimes —Caledonian Mercury. A letter of the 6th inst. from Saint Girons, states that the Gardes Forestiers having seized 200 head of cattle, found pasturingin the forests in that di s t r i ct , different bodie s o f the peasantry, disguised en demoiselles, forming to the amount altogether of 700 or 800, assem bled, armed with guns, hatchets, scythes, and every species of offensive weapon. One piny ' ' of about 70, attacked a detachme n t of the Guard s , an d a combat ensued, in which one of the assailants was killed, and several wounded, upon which the rest fled...Galignani's Memnon.. The two following accounts are taken from the Liver pool Chronicle, and would seem to intimate a greater de gree of organization amongst the robbers than is consistent• with proper vigilance on the part of the magistracy.—A young gentleman from the country arrived in the early part of last week on his way to the Isle of Man, and when walking down to the dock, on Wednesday morning, was accosted by a man in a sailor's dress. This man was joined by another, and the two proposed to show him the docks and the Black Rock Lighthouse. They had some refreshment at the young man's expense, and then crossed the river, and after spending the day i❑ Che shire, returned in the evening, and all three went to the play. On Thursday morning this young man was again joined by the same men, who proposed another trip over the water; he assented, and they went to Birken head, and regaled themselves with the stores laid in for the Isle of. Man. They proceeded to Bideton, and after showing him the telegraph, went on to Leasowe Castle, where they had more refreshment at bis expense. Here they tarried till dusk, and then set out on their return for Liverpool by the shore. When they had proceeded about a mile, one of them asked him if he had money enough to pay his passage to America. He now, for the first time, telt alarmed, and said he would go back to the Castle. Finding him obstinate, one of the men collared him, while the other beat him violently on the head and back with a heavy stick. The young man then drew from his pocket a pistol (not loaded), thinking to intimi date them, but the taller man seized the pistol and tore it from his grasp ; the young man then took some money from his pocket, which he threw down upon the sand, at the same time giving them his pocket-book, containing two 51. bank notes, saying, " there is all the money I have, take it, but spare my life." They then desisted from abusing him, and walked on together till they had passed Mr. Wathurton's, when the young man heard a whistle in the plantations. They now began drag. ging him to the water-side, where a boat was moored, beating him, and trying to stop his mouth while he was screaming and calling " murder ! murder ! they are killing me !" His cries were heard by a woman who lives in a delf by the shore, and she came out and called " What are you doing?" On finding they were observed, they again proceeded along the shore till they reached Norcliffe's Marine Hotel, at Liseard, where, observing a light, the young man rushed past the ruffians and dashed his foot through the kitchen window. Mr. Norcliffe, to gether with three gentlemen who were in the bar, ran out of the house, where they found all three together ; the young man was in such a state of agitation that he was not able to speak for some time. On stripping him, his body was half covered with bruises; there was a severe cut on his head, and a lump over one eye; his right arm was also much bruised from warding off the blows. The men were given in charge to a constable, and conveyed the next morning before Archdeacon Clarke, when the depositions of the young man and the gentlemen who ac companied him were taken, and the men were committed to Chester Castle to take their trials at the next Assizes for felony. These men were runners about the docks and coaches, and well known to the police. On Tuesday evening, about twelve o'clock, when a man was returning home with his cart from Wigan, where he had been with a load of produce, he was stopped by three men, named James Wignall, James Abraham, and Henry Dutton, in the township of Scarisbrick, and robbed by them. They were apprehended the next day, as also a man named Lunt, who keeps a ferry shop, as a receiver of part of the stolen property, and fully committed, with the other three, for trial at the assizes at Lancaster. One of the prisoners has turned King's evidence, and disclosed the particulars of most of the robberies that have been com mitted in that neighbourhood for some time.

THE MOORS.—Grouse shooting commenced this year under two disadvantages to the sportsman; it commenced a day later than usual, and that day was the only indifferent one among many fine days. The weather we understand, was most unpropitious in the heart of the Highlands ; upon the Braes the d iy cleared up about noon, and the sport amply repaid the delay. On the fine muir of Glenquaich one gentleman bagged fifty-three brace of grouse, another bagged forty-two brace on the Logical mond hills, and a third bagged twenty-two brace on the same ground. We hear, also, that sportsmen in the neighbouring hills have had the same good luck. The principal shooting quarters in this neighbourhood are this season occupied as follows:—Mount Alexander, Earl of Mexborough; Glaschorie, Mr. Aspinail and party ; Ed ington Lodge, Mr. W.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.--On Tuesday, the 9th instant, as six of the reapers employed by THOMAS HucHrs, Esq., near Grosmont, in this county, were reaping, they found themselves suddenly covered with swarms of insects, very like the common small ant, but with wings. They became so troublesome that they took their clothes off for the purpose of shaking them off, but they could not get rid of them ; as whenever they settled, the animalcula never attempted to fly again. Im mediately after all the men were attacked with violent sickness and diarh wa, and were obliged to discontinue working. Four of them recovered with the assistance of some medicine, administered by their master, and were enabled to work acain the following day - the other t wo , who were mor e v i o l ent l y a ff ecte d , had medical advice, but did not recover for three or four days, sufficiently to work. The men had eaten nothing but good plain food. Mr. HUGHES, who was with his reapers at the time, but did not then feel unwell, during the night had himself a slight attack of the same nature.—[The correspondent who has favoured us with the above singular fact, on the accuracy of whose statement we have complete reliance, mentions that a species of fly, before unknown, has appeared in many places visited by cholera.—En.]-111onniouthshire Merlin. LIE ENGLISH AND FRENCH VOLUN TEERS IN PORTUGAL. —We have seen a letter from a young French Ensign, now serving with the army of Don PEDRO, which, after d.tscribiog the events of the battle of the 23d ult., already known to our readers, speaks in terms of the highest eulogy of the gallantry of the English detachment, who, on this occasion, were united with the French. The writer expresses the gratification he felt at the novel sight of troops belonging to two nations so long accustomed to meet only in mortal conflict, combined and fighting side by side under the s ime banner, in the same noble cause, and under the command of an Englishman (Col. HODGES), whose conduct he describes as beyond all praise. The Colonel is a first-rate favourite among the French soldiers; they say of him—" Le Colonel Anglais est no brave soldat ; it y a du plaisir a se battre sous les ordres d'un lapin comine celui-la." The French and En glish bivouacked together on the position from whence they had driven the Miguelites on the night of the 23,1, and the pleasantries of the French upon their new coin pa.nions in arms, whom they playfully call '° Goddani" and " Rosbi f," were the neve r -f a ili ng signals for friendly and prolonged hilarity. The interment of an English officer, mortal y wounded during the battle, and carried off the field, was attended by both the French detachment, and that of his countrymen, to the English chapel at Oporto. The writer likewise mentions Captains SHAW and STANTON, and Dr. TOPPER, of the English battalion, in terms of high commendation. lie adds, " the anni versary of the Three Days has been kept with d ue h onour , high mass having been performed in the presence of the Eatt-xßoa and all his staff, and a deputation from every corps in the army." General LAFAYETTE has received a letter from Don PEDRO, congratulating him on the brave conduct of Al. JULES DE LASTEVRIE, his grandson, at the battle of Vallonga.—French Paper. At these sessions, witTCh commenced yesterday, the CHAIRMAN (Mr. Hedger), in the course of his charge to the Grand Jury, observed, that although, from the lightness of the calendar, it was probable that their services would not be required after that day for the usual routine of business, yet, as the annual scene of revelry and confusion had commenced at Camberwell, and as cases of assault and robbery were not at all unfrequent there, it would benefit the county materially if they did not break up until the fair bad concluded. By their compliance with this suggestion, if prisoners were apprehended at Camberwell fair, true bills could be at once found, which would save the county a serious expense. The Chairman also adverted to the subject of the cholera, which, he said, had committed great ravages in some portions of that district. Thomas IVildagow was indicted for stealing a pair of lady's shoes, the property of Mr. Peckham, one of the pages to the King. The prisoner was found Guilty, but upon the intercession of the prosecutor, who recommended him to mercy, on the ground of his having been im prisoned since the sth of June, and the trifling value of the property he was charged with stealing, The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to be imprisoned for 14 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Yesterday considerable interest was excited by the decision upon a case of some importance, which was postponed from a former day. Messrs. Parkinson and Frodsham, the chrono meter makers, 'Change-alley, summoned a young man, named Sheppard, under the 4th of Geo. 111., which inflicts a penalty upon any artifice, handi craftsman, or other, who shall violate any contract entered into between him and any other person to serve for any time or times whatsoever. The de fendant had contracted at full age to serve the com plainant for seven years, but having acquired a knowledge of the trade in two, he quitted the em ployment without ceremony. Mr. Adolphus stated, that the complainants were in the habit of engaging young men upon the terms specified in the contract. In this case the defendant had availed himself of the admirable tuition which the establishment afforded, and as soon as his services became profitable, thought himself justified in quit ting his master. The statute appeared to have been made for just such persons. Mr. Harmer, for the defendant, said, that the statute never contemplated a second apprenticeship. It merely meant service for a reasonable time, and surely seven years in addition to the seven already served by the workman, could not be called reason able. If the binding was for life, could that hold ? How, then, could the binding for seven years? He thought three years a reasonable period, and to that his client was ready to subscribe. Mr. Adolphus said, that if the contract was for life, the contracting parties were bound to abide by it. He remembered that, in 1785, Lord Thurlow observed, upon hearing a contract objected to upon similar grounds, " What ! do you think I sit here to say that all bad bargains are no bargains ?" If men thought they could get out of a scrape of this kind, they were much mistaken. A man might hind himself for any time. A celebrated player, whose case was fresh in his recollection, had got into the predicament, and had been obliged to remain in it. Alderman KELLY asked whether, if the com plainants wished to get rid of an incompetent man, they would be warranted in breaking their contract with him ? It might, he said, have been imprudent in the defendant to enter into the contract, but it was certainly binding upon him. Mr. Harmer regretted that advantage was about to be taken of a young man who had made an im provident bargain, and made an indignant allusion to Shylock's inflexible determination to have the due forfeit of his bond. Mr. Frodsham showed that the house he belonged to was Christian, and gave up two years of the ser vitude without hesitation. The defendant then re turned to his work.

Mr. Alderman ATKINs fined the prisoner 301., and in default of payment committed him to the House of Correction for three months. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Much laughter was excited during the hearing of two informations laid by Johnson against a pawn broker residing at 93, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square. Murray and Burton, two of Johnson's men, had been employed by the veteran informer to en trap the pawnbrokers, and various articles were given them to pledge for that purpose. In the present cases Murray had pledged two silver spooni at the defendant's shop, and both he and Burton swore that the necessary questions required by law had not been asked in ene instance ; and in the other the entry into the book had not been made before the money was given to Murray. The shopman, however, swore positively he had done all that the Act stipulated, and Air. DYEit dismissed the informations. A Solicitor attended on behalf of the pawnbroker, and severely cross-examined the informer's wit- nesses. The following were among the questions and answers : " Well, what are, you, Mr. Burton ?"—" I am sometimes employed by Mr. Johnson." "To do what ?"—" Go out for him." "Go out for him! pray, Sir, explain yourself ?"—" Why I calls on him of a morning for a job, and sometimes he gives me one, and sometimes he doesn't. When he does I goes out to catch a coach or take a silver spoon or handkerchief." " What do you mean by catching a coach and taking a handkerchief? I hope you do not take handkerchiefs from gentlemen's pockets." —" I should think not, Sir ; 'my character is well known for respectability.—(Laughter.) \Vhat I means by catching a coach is to see they have not no more passengers than the /fact allows ; a spoon or handkerchief is given me to pawn, arid I tells Mr. Johnson what questions they axes me." " Then ou do this to endeavour to entrap the pawn brokers ?"—" That is Mr. Johnson's business, not mine." " Then, Sir, if you do riot catch a coach, or succeed in your purpose when taking a spoon or handkerchief, you are not paid ?"—" 0 yes but I ant though, for I always has a crown given me afore I goes out." Johnson here spoke in a low tone to his witness, when the solicitor desired him to discontinue, as " evil communications corrupt good manners."—(Great laughter.) There was another case against the same pawnbroker, but Johnson withdrew it. The laughter was so great at times in the office that several persons were ordered out. Thomas Farquharson, a well-dressed middle aged person, was brought from Guildhall yesterday, in custody of a city policeman, charged by Mr. Thomas Currie, army accoutrement-maker, in Re gent-street, with having feloniously embezzled the proceeds of a bill of exchange for Live hundred pounds, intrusted to him for the purpose of being discounted. Mr. Currie had some transactions with a person► of the name of Ward, who introduced the prisoner to him, representing him to be of considerable in fluence amongst monied men, and possessing great facilities for discounting bills. Air. Currie intrusted him with the bill in question on the 7th May, and on the 2Gth of the same month, he received a letter Mr. Norton, upon cross-questioning Mr. Currie, elicited that he had offered, since the prisoner's ap prehension, to settle the matter, provided the bill was returned, and also, that another bill for 6001., which he had given the prisoner to get discounted, had been returned to him. He also admitted, that at the time he intrusted the prisoner with the bills, he did not give any written paper to him. Mr. Norton then submitted that the felonious charge was at an end, as the Act of the 7th and Sth Geo. IV. required the party placing bills or other valuable property in the hands of another, to give a written direction of the specific object for which the securities were so placed. Mr. Hobler said, the letter of the defendant, which he would produce, would be an answer to that objection. Mr. DYER remarked, that the letter might be good evidence in a civil action against the prisoner, to show that he was indebted the amount, but he was of opinion it did not bring the case within that particular clause of the statute by which the offence was constituted a felony. Mr. Norton then cited several cases, in which persons charged in a similar manner had been dis missed, on account of the absence of directions in writing. Mr. DYER then directed that the prisoner's papers should be restored to him, and also that he should be discharged. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday, a flying sweep, named James IVhite, who is notorious as an area snake, was charged with stealing three silver table-spoons and four tea-spoons, part of the plate belonging to Mr. George Hedge, residing at No. 36, Devonshire -street, corner of Beaumont-street, Marylebone. Mr. Edward Haines, shopman to Mr. Pritchard, where the prosecutor lives, had occasion to go into the area that morning, at about 10 o'clock, when, looking at the window of the kitchen, he observed a man trying to escape from the front kitchen to the back. He looked in, but where the prisoner hid himself he knew not, when all at once he saw him running up the area steps, and pursued him into the street, where he overtook him. He was fully committed to Newgate. TV 0 RSHIP- S TREET. Eliza Hill, a fine-looking and well-dressed young woman, was brought from Bunhill-row station house, charged with having on the night before made use of indecent language. Mr. Thomas, a student at Bartholomew's Hospi tal, stated that on returning home the night before through the City-road with his wife, the prisoner on passing them called his wife a -, and also abused him. Mr. BaouGHToN—You!—Yes, me, several times. She said she knew my wife was a by her bonnet, and that she was not my wife. Mrs. Thomas corroborated her husband's statement. Mr. BROUGIITON (to the prisoner)—What have you to say for yourself?—l don't deny it ; I was rather tipsy from the effect of wine. There are two gentlemen outside the office who will speak for me. The two gentlemen being called in, one of them said the prisoner had been a dress-maker, and lodged at his house, but unfortunately had, only two weeks ago, been seduced by some villain, who allowed her a guinea a week. In his opinion the wine that she bad drank to drown sorrow and shame had caused her to act so indiscreetly. Mr. BROUGHTON—On your oath is she not a prostitute ?—No. The worthy Magistrate, however, said that modest women must be protected, and sentenced the pri soner to 14 , days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Daniel Donovan, a notorious thief, was charged before Mr. WALKER and Mr. GARFORD, a county Magistrate, with having, in conjunction with three others of his fraternity, infused a quan tity of opium into two pots of beer, and nearly poisoning a seaman named William Robinson, to whom they had administered the latter, with a view of stupifying him and making him an easy prey to plunder. Mr. George Comber, the landlord of the City of Carlisle public-house, in Rosemary-lane, stated that on Saturday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the prisoner and two other men came into his house in company with a sailor. They all went into the tap-room, and called for a pot of beer. Sus pecting that all but the sailor were bad characters, and perceiving that they had, paid for the beer (a practice very unusual among such persons when they have a sailor in company), he determined on watching them, to discover their improper inten tions, if they had .any. The pot of beer being drank, they called for another, which they also paid for, and on his (witness's) taking the measure which they used to refil it, he observed a quantity of sedi ment in the bottom. Thinking that it might have been occasiond by the ashes of their pipes having accidentally fallen into it, he laid it on one side and filled another, and a clean pot. Some time after wards he missed the whole party from the room, and found that they had unfastened a back door which led into White's-yard, and got away by that means. Their conduct altogether having excited his suspicion. he examined the other pot which they drank out of, and also in it found thick grounds in the bottom. From the circumstance of the grounds being in both the vessels, it at once occurred to him that they had mixed some deleterious ingredi ents into the beer, and he in consequence marked the pot, and instantly gave information of the cir cumstance to Hawkes, a policeman. Was quite certain that the prisoner was one of the party with the sailor. Mary Robinson deposed, that on Saturday after noon, her son William, who was 25 years of age, and a sailor, left home, and did not return until late in the evening, when he appeared excessively ill, and said that he had been robbed of his neckcloth by some fellows who had attacked him. She asked him to have a cup of tea, and before he could make a reply, he dropped down, and began to foam at the mouth. S!ie instantly sent for a surgeon, who at tended, and on seeing him he pronounced him to be poisoned, and advised her to have him removed without delay to the London Hospital. He was accordingly taken to the Hospital, where the sto mach-pump and other remedies were used to save his life, and they fortunately succeeded. Hawkes, a police constable, H. 177, stated, that from what he could learn, the prisoner and his cow:. panions attacked the sailor in White's-yard, shortly after they left the public-house. They first stripped Mr. WALKER asked Mr. Comber if he was aware whether the prisoner and his companions drank at all out of the pot ?—Mr. Comber had no doubt they did, but had afterwards thrown it out of their mouth, as, on examining, he found upwards of a pint and a half of beer under the table. Tii.re were also appearances indicating that one of the party was sick. The prisoner was then remanded, in order that Robinson, his victim, should appear to give evidence against him. Phillis Jacobs, an immense-sized Jeaess, and Elizabeth Till, were yesterday brought in custody to this office, the former charged with receiving, knowing it to have been stolen, a gold watch, and the latter with illegally pawning various articles of property belonging to Mr.Ephraiin Jacobs, a whole sale dealer in watches and jewellery in Bevit-marks. Mr. Barry, the barrister, and Mr. C. Isaacs, a so licitor, appeared on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Jacobs, the prosecutor, stated that on the 27th of June, 1831, while returning from Birming ham to town, the coach in which he travelled was upset, and his arm broken. This accident obliged him to remain at an inn on the road for some consi derable time, and his wife, wishing to see him, left town for that purpose, first placing the daughter of Mrs. Jacobs, one of the prisoners, and her husband, in the house, to take care of it until she returned. Some weeks after he had come up to town he exa mined his boxes and drawers, and disccvered that watches and jewellery amounting to upwards of 4,0001. had been taken away during his absence. He was not enabled from that time, until lately, to trace any of the property, though he had no doubt that it had been stolen by the young woman and her husband who had been left in cute of it ; but lie had ascertained sufficient to enable him to take out a warrant against the parties. Tne son of Mrs. Jacobs had informed him where there was a gold watch, which was pledged by the desire of his mother; and, finding this to be the case, he had her taken into custody. The other prisoner; in the capacity of servant to Mrs. Jacobs's daughter, had also pawned a good deal of the property. In the cross-examination of Mr. Jacobs, he admitted that Mrs. Jacobs was his sister-in-law, and that his wife was in the habit of selling and pawning his property. He also said that she had been accused of having picklock keys, but he did not believe it. The son of Mrs. Jacobs, the prisoner, was here called. He stated, that about eight months since, he pledged a gold watch, by the desire of his mother, which was sent to her by his sister, and which he knew to be the property of his ❑ncle, the prost cuter. His mother received a sovereign for pledging the article, his brother .55., and his sister the remainder of six guineas, which was got on the article. This witness admitted he knew that the watch was stolen at the time, though he had not disclosed the fact to his uncle for many months afterwards, nor until he had had some quarrel with his family. Mr. WALKER could not detain the prisoners on such testimony, and they were discharged. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, Charles Allen, Maria Thomas, Sarah Shaw, and Ann Mills, were brought before Mr. BRODERIP for re-examination, charged with counter feiting the current silver coin of the country. The prisoners are part of the numerous gang who bad been for some time watched by Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Fogg, surveyors of Thames police, and were apprehended a few days back. Mr. Field, the inspector of the Mint, now at tended and said, that although there was no moral doubt that the prisoners had been carrying on the manufacture of base coin, the evidence was too slight to warrant a prosecution. They were then discharged. UNION-HALL. A charge of assault was preferred by a young woman against an old one, in the course of which he former charged the defendant with " putting a .4pell" upon her, so that she could not venture to lake up any thing in the " crockery line" without letting it fall out of her hands, and smashing it to pieces. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired what the complainant meant by the old woman putting a " spell upon her ?" Complainant—Your worship, she is nothing more nor less than an old witch, and every body in he neighbourhood knows that there. The old woman knew nothing about witchcraft, and - had no baud in " putting a spell " upon her ac cuser, who was never " quiet," except when she was scolding her, and calling her out of her name. The complainant said, that the old woman had, by her acquaintance with a certain " club-footed gentleman," put a spell upon a man, that was now lying on the flat of his back, bed-ridden, and there he would lie until she thought proper to take the veil off. The old lady was very indignant at such an accu sation, and said it was done out of spite. Complainant--She rattles marbles in a tea-pot at my door in the middle of the night, and fetches up rats alive out of the cellar by the tails, and lets them loose upon me; and, moreover, she is a killer of cats. • Mr. CHAMBERS should listen to no more of this nonsense. If the complainant and defendant had been alive 150 years ago, one would have been ducked for a scold, and the other would hare been burnt for a witch. At a recent sale of wines at Beech-hill, near Barnet, the port sold for 110 s. and the sherry for 170 s. per dozen. SINGULAR RESTITUTION.—A few days ago a young gentleman, of respectable appearance and address, entered the shop of Mr. POMFRET, glass and china man in Stonegate, in this city, and asked the price of an orna ment which appeared in the window. On being told, he immediately tendered down the money, and, turning round, was preparing to leave the shop, when Mr. P. re minded him that he was leaving the article behind him. The stranger then turned to Mr. P., and informed him that about six years ago he was in this city, and, in com pany with some ladies, paid a visit to Mr. POMFRET'S show-rooms, in which they were left a few moments alone; that he availed himself of the opportunity to Docket an ornament similar to the one for which he had now paid ; that subsequently he had been much distressed in his mind about the transaction, and had rolved, at the tirst opportunity, to make restitution; that opportunity had now arrived, for this was the first time of his visiting the city since the unfortunate occurrence, and that he felt happy in having been enabled thus to atone for an act which bad caused him to much trouble of mind. Having offered this explanation, he left the shop, and Mr. P. saw him no more.— York Herald. PREMATURE INTERMENT.—A distressing instance of premature interment occurred last week in the neighbourhood of Old -street, St. Luke's. A poor woman and her son were violently attacked with cholera, which. in the case of the latter very soon terminated, as it was supposed, fatally ; and after having lain apparently lifeless f r a few hours, the body was buried. The poor wo man also shortly after got worse, and became insensible and motionless. Having been kept as long as was consi dered safe, she was put into a coffin to be buried; but just as the undertakers were about to screw it down, she re vived, pushed off the lid, and very soon recovered. Having anxiously inquired about her son, she was informed that he had been buried for several hours, which made her very un easy, and she insisted upon his being exhumed. lier de sires were, after a short delay, complied with, and the horror of the spectators can scarcely be imagined, when on opening the coffin it was found the child had turned round, and torn its face almost to pieces with agony, having, it must of course b e supposed, come to life in this dreadful situation. (From a correspondent.)—[We cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, but it comes from a s,mrce above all suspicion, and if true it is of very great import. ante, and should not be lightly disregarded.}.
