It appeared, that on the 29th of December, be-
tween seven and eight at night, the Prisoner went
to the shop of the Prosecutor, on pretence of chang-
ing a large paper hag for a small one ; he went
away, saying he might return again, as he wanted
some goods. The shopmen, suspecting the Pri
soner of taking some bottles which they had lost
a short time before, agreed to put out the candles,
sod watch for him ; some time atter he came into the
shop, but just as he had entered. a gentleman came
in also, to buy some goods, and the Prisoner made
off. The shop door was shut, and the young man
remained on the watch ; it was not long before the
Prisoner c sme again, and opening the door, took
from off the counter, the bottle of oil of pepper-
mint. He was immediately pursued, but before
they could seize him, he threw away the bottle,
and broke it.

of James Shepherd, a baker, 'in Great Kest Cheap,
and c 'fling for a half quartern loaf, tendered in pay-
ment A counterfeit chilling: the woman being in doubt
svlictlier it were good or bad, shewed it her husband,
who immediately perceived it was a bad one, and,
knowing that the Prisoner had passed bad money
on him some days before, he detained him, and sent
for a constable ; before the constable came, the Pri-
soner let fall one shilling and three sixpences into a
:tour binn. The money was produced, and Mr.
Parker proved them to be base.
The Recomsee observed to the Jury, that the
punishment annexed to this offence by Aa of Parlia-
ment, was six months imprisonment for the first
time, and if the delinquent should have more about
hint at the time he atteroptcd to pass one, he was
subjeA to twelve months imprisonment; they had,
he said, therefore, to consider not only whether the
Prisoner was guilty of uttering the bad shilling, but
also whether he had others about him of the same
kiad. He was found Gone,;. of the whole offence.

FROM THE NEW itiitE PAPERS.
Nrw you, D.C. 8.
No news at present—Oh yes, his Imperial High-
ness, Prince Jerome Bonaparte, rad his lovely
Princess Elizabeth, were yesterday at Dumfries,
thirty miles south of this place, on their way here.
It seems, the unmanly Britons, off the C4pes of
Virginia, would not go out of the way and let
them pass unmolested to the Imperial Court. 'This
breach of etiquette not ascording with his Imperial
Highness's idea of propriety and decorum, he re-
turned in dudgeon to Norfolk, and took passage in
tbe stage—no, not the stage—a private hack, for
Washington. We wen to be honoured to day or
to-morrow with his princely presence.
A transport has arrived at Ne,e Orleans, from Ja-
maica, with two hundred troops on hoard, belong-
ing to the late army of St. Domingo. She was
bound originally to I lavre de Grace. These men
took pos..-ssion of the chip off the :and c'n•
dulled het to, Ptaquemin, where tlis-y landed, with
the consenr of the officers, and were pr,:ending to
New Orleans, along the banks of :he River. It
was thought that the imtroduCtion of these people
would increase the discontents that prevail there.

The 29th ult. as the Swiftsure stage, crossing to
Powles Hook, was crossing the bridge over Hucken-
sack River, the beam. gave way, and the stage,
with its passengers, were plunged into the River.—
Amongst these, the Lady of- Mr. Desabay ( who
gave a concert on the Tuesday preceding), his
child, an/ his sister, have been the principal suffer-
ers. The money made by this Concert, which was
intended for the relief of that amiable family, to-
gether with the best part of their effeets, have been
swallowed up by the waves. They had already lost
their 411 by a shipwreck, in coming to this country.
The child, only nine months old, and who had
escaped from the arms of the lady who held him, as
she went down, was found hanging by his little
hands to a piece of the wreck, and was -oiraculously
saved unhurt. Both the leading and one of the
wheel-horses extricated themselves in the struggle,
and made the shore ; the other, with the stage and
baggage, went to the bottom.
