recent trial of the above individual at the Old Hsi.
Irv, fur picking of pocket'', and the subsequent trial
of Gook, and Harrison and Connell, constables of
St. James's parish, the evidence against them for a
conspiracy must be fresh in the recollection of our
readers. Gook, Harrison. and Connell, we under-
stand, again presented • Bill to the Grand Jury,
now sitting at Clerkenwell, for the of tempt to pick
pockets at Drury-lane Theatre, and no Friday last
• true bill war found. He was on Monday takes
into custody, and isrlow lodged in the New Prison,
Clerkenwell.
Our readers will recollect the seixort of the
Ditch dogger, Maitre Hoop, in Aberdeen har-
bour, in the month of August last year. This ves-
sel had on board above 300 tubs of geoeva. and
other contraband goods, to a considerable susouut;
•ud had a crew of eleven mariners, including the
master sad two boys ; alt of-whom were marched
to prison for breach of the revenue laws, which im-
pose a fine of 1001. upon every person engoged in
foreign smuggling. These poor men were quite
unable to pay such • sum, and their owners having
cruelly abandoned them to their fate, they might
have lain in gaol for an indefinite period. We are
happy to learn, however, that Goverment have at
length consented to their liberation. Ale. Joni:
Stunts., the Consul for the kiregdoni of the Ne-
therlands at Aberdeen, has been unremitting in his
endeavears far this pur?ose, and sometime age
procured the release of the two boys. He has since
accomplished the liberation of the remainder of the
crew, who were set at large last week, after suffer-
ing a confinement of thirteen months.—( Caledonia*

On Friday last two young men, of the name of
RUTHERFORD, by trade masons, during the dinner
boor went down to the sea at Coldinghaua Saud.,
for the purpose of bathing. JAMES, who was the
oldest of the brothers, had come out of the water
and put on his clothes. when he heard his brother
ROBERT call out fur help, as he was is danger of
drOwning. James, forgetivig that be could not
swim, lied regardless of the surge, which was fs
great as to prevent any boat from putting off to
their assistance, threw off his. coat and vest, and
taking a stick from one of the bystanders, rushed
into the sea ; he was swept from his feet, and
drowned in a few minutes. The other brother. who
was a good swimmer, but whose streogth was now
quite exhausted, shared the same fate. The
situation of astir old and infirm pareuts is truly
pitiable, having now only one soo is whom they
can look up, and upon whose arm they can lean in
descending the hill of life. The brothers were laid
in one grave i n Monday, and what renders the oc-
currence still more afflicting, en the very day when
the oldest was to have been married to a line young
