At the conclusion of the duties of the grand
jury at the Middlesex lificsiess yesterday, the foremen said
it was the desist of his brother jurors to make to his
lordship a propeutroest, end to mimes a hope that he
would transmit it to the government, with a &Me that
some remedy would be provided for the evils which pre-
vailed. It was AS follow@ :—" We, the grand jury now

minate our official duties without intimating our (Maim

robberies now so openly and unceasingly perpetrated in the
streets of the metropolis demand the immediate ideation of

one of the most important duties of a government to adopt
the means best calculated to reprove crime and to afford
due protection to the lives and property of the people, and
we have observed with anxiety and alarm the modern
system sanctioned by the government, of remitting a por-
tion of the sentence of imprisonment paced upon con-
victed criminals, supplying them with tieitets of leave, and
in our opinion thereby affording them faoliti s foe vein

two women, named Elizabeth Ross mad Cathodes Waleon,
all old offenders, were charged with violently assault
John Forbes, a timekeeper employed lathe Royal Arsenal,
and dealing from his
person a watch and 6s. The evidence
proved that about 9 oclock on the previous night the prose-
cutor was Fading near •dangerous locality, knows as Rope-
yard Rails, at Woolwich, when he was suddenly seized by
the throat by the male prisoner, and robbed by the woman.
From information received the prisoners were milmequestly
apprehended, and were now identified by the prosecutor.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.—Yesterday
morning, about 4 o'clock, as Mr. Matthews, one of the
compositors employed is the office of the Daily Nara, was
going to his residence near the Camberwell New-road, he
was set upon by a ruMas, who dragged him to the ground,
and was about to riffs his pocket, when the polies, who
were attracted by Mr. Matthews' cries, approached the
spot, and the fellow made off. Mr. Matthews, though
somewhat shaken, is not seriously injured.

BIOGRAPHY OF • WAITER, AVID 61.—You
were ceeveyed, ere yet your dawning powers wenotherwise
developed than to harbour vacancy in your hide—you
were conveyed, by, surreptitious Dionne, into • pantry ad-
&ping the Admirei Nelson, Civic and General Dining

Zoo. Your mother was married to your father (him-
self a distant Waiter) in the profoundest se-
wary ; for a Weitrow known to be married would rule
the best of Weiner's—it is the same as on the
stage. Hence your being smuggled into the pantry, and
that—to add to the infliction—by an unwilling grasidinother.
Coder the combined influence of the smalls of roast mid
boded, and soup, and gas, and malt liquor, you partook of
your earliest nourishment ; your unwilling grandmother
sitting prepared to catch you when your mother was called
and dropped you ; your grandmother's shawl ever ready On

rouoded by uncongenial cruets, dirty pieta, dish movers, and
cold parr ;your mother calling down the pipe for owls
and posts, instead of soothing you with urinary rhyme.
Under these untoward circumstances you were early 'reaped.
Your unwilling grandmother. ever growing more unwilling
as your food assimilated lees, then contreoted habits of slak-
ing you till your system curdled, and your food would not
assimilate at a. At length elle was no longer spared, and
could have been thankfully spared much sooner. When your
brothers began to appear in succession, your mother
retired, left off her smart dressing (she bad previously teem
a smart dresser), and her dark ringlets (which bad pre-
viously been Sowing), and haunted your father late of
nights, lying in wait for him, through all weathers, up the
shabby court which led to the back door of the Royal Old
Dust-Bien (said to have been so named by George the
Fourth) when your father was Head. But the Dust-Bian
was going down then, and your father took but little—
excepting from a liquid point of view. Your mother's
object in those visits was of • housekeeping charac-
ter, and you was set on to whistle your father out, Some-
times he came out, but generally not. Come or not coma,
however, all that part of his existence which was uncon-
nected with open Waitering, was kept a close secret, and
was ackuowledgedby your mother to be • close secret, and
you and your mother flitted about the court, close secrets
both of you, and would scarcely have confessed under tor-
ture that you knew your father, or that your father had any
name than Dick (which wasn't his name, though be was
never known byany other), or that he had kith or kin or
chick or child. Perhapathe attraction of this mystery, com-
bined with your father's having a damp compartment to
himself, behind • leaky cistern, at the Duel-Bins—a sort of
• °eller compartment, with • sink in it, ands resell, and a
plate-rack and • bottle-rack, and three windows that didn't
match each other or anything else, and no daylight—caused
your young mind to feel convinced that you must grow up
to be • Water too ; but you did feel comnoced of it, sod so
did all of your brothers, down to your sister. Every one
of you felt combined that you was ban to the Waitering.
At this stage of your career, what was your feelings one day
when your father came home to your mother in open broad
daylight—of itself an act of Madness on the part of a
Waiter—and took to his bed (leastwise, your mother and
fond 's bed), with the statement that his eyes were
devilled kidneys. Physicians being in vain, your father ex-
pired, after repeating at intervals for • day and • night,
when gleams of reason and old business fitfully illuminated
his being, "Two and two is five. And three is six one."
