EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES IN GLOUCESTER.

SHIRE.

The clothiers of Gloucestershire have been lately robbed
of wool to an immense 'mount. Such prodigious gismo-
lilies have disappeared in a moment, that the depredii.
lions could not be attributed to any but a well disci.
plined and numerous gang. By the activity of Henry
Burgh, F..q. a Magistrate, of ►tug's Stanley, sod of one
of the Bow-street officers, ten persons who are sup-
posed to be the principal conductors of this peed&
'my enterprise have been apprehended, and were lately
committed to Gloucester gaol to take their trials Ave for
having committed a robbery upon the premises of Messrs.
Lloyd's, opulent clothiers at Ureley, and live toe having re-
ceived the stolen property and ,aerated it. Two other meet
were al.o taken into custody, but they have been examined
as King's evidence. One of them was the prime mover of
the plot, which has been most tremendously successful
throughout the country, sod their evidence is to form the
ground-work of the charges.

DREADFUL EFFECTS OP NIGHTSHADE.

As Inquisition was taken yesterday, in the Workhouse
of Si. Mai y, Kensington, liefore Thomas Stirling, Esq. Coro-
ner fur the County of Middlesex, on the body of John Golder,
a child two years a•d a half old, whose death was caused
by eating the berries of night-shade, nut knowing them to
be of a poisonous nature.
It appeared from ilre evidence of Susannah Hill sad Mar-
tha Lindsay, both of James-street, Kensington, next-door
neighbours to the parents of the deceased, that they saw the
deceased the preceding morning in good health, and that
shot four u cluck in the afternoon he was at play in the
field, iu company with his little sister, ten years of age, and
some odor children. The deceased gut lout the hedge,
soil began to pick the red berries of the night-shade, and
shortly after he became in • slate of suffocation, from
hauling ate of the berries, as was supposed, from some of
diem having been found in his hands. He was carried to
the nearest cottage, medical assistance sent for, and Mr.
Merriman, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. George, came and ren-
dered all the asi.istalice to their power, but to no effect ; he
sonic/4 d only about an hour and three quarters, and expired
in the greatest agony.
Henry Grurge, of Kensington, Surgeon, deposed, he sari
the berries ; they are narcotic, and he hail no doubt bat the
dreg mord died in cussequence of his having ate the berries
of utght•shade.
Verdict—`• That the deceased came to his death frogs
eatiog the !mime berries n/ night-shade, stop hatotoiNg they
were poi.ionous in their nature."

A correspondent suggests that great advantage would be
&tired to the public from a chaste set crops, mid lbal murk
grass land, pal secularly in the mighbourhoold of large turrus,
which is now cuisquiratively strril, might by this memos be
made to yield I•rgr crops, and In afford abstudasece of em-
ployment to thee poor. The system of husbandry, reroute.
mended by our correspondent, is this—*. lu the autumn,
after the hay C.Vp is reaped, dig up the field with • spade,
and plant putatues•t the ptopn•. reamile, from which you will
have a cross of the valise of front 45/. to Mit an acre. After
the pot...twee are gathered, deg up the land again and mew it
with wheat in drill at the proper 11C11.110. In the fullueing
opting, while the wheat is growing, mew the held with haw
acrd,'; •t the proper time, reap the crop of curie, which will
be worth lilt an :Mr; and the next year, and for seven
years to ensue, you will, by manuring in the usual tray, have
luxuriant crops of grass. Al the end of Skid period, the
same peeress must In• repeated. arid the laud will in this
way, if our friend be not too sanguine in his calculations, be
made duality pioductive " The benefit of this ay.trm set
husbandry to the poor will, hr conceives, be incalculable—
the produce will do much mitre than reward the extra la-
bour—the parish lofiketil might take a good portion of land
up easy terms—distresaml rowdies might be lieneficially
ployed upon the soil—aud the experiment might be made

Mr. Cuawsu rose and said. he had been in hopes
that the discussion which had taken place on • for.

on the illustrious individual whom it chiefly con•

ELEVENTH DAY.

At the close or the poll this day at roar o'clock
the numbers were--
Hon. G. Lamb. 4,1130
J. C. Hobhouse, Eng

Majority for Mr. Lamb 405

Our readers will perceive from the numbers that
the poll proceeds in rather a languid manner. NI r.
Lamb still continues to hold his wonted majority.
The friends of Mr. Hobhouse, notwithstand-
ing their utmost efforts, notwithitandiug the
personal exertions of Sir Francis Burdett. who
daily meets Parochial Committees and bodies of
Electors wherever they can be assembled. and
makes every exertion of which lie is capable, are
unable to iofu•e that spirit into the Electors which
the People of Westminster were in the habit of
displaying when they felt their independence at-
tacked by a Court Candidate. A few new placards
were this day published by the friends of Mr. Hob-
house, but they were as (lull and pointless as those
of the preceding days. They charged the Whigs
and the Whig Candidate with every departure from

Election Councils with Lord Castlereagh, Mr.
Canning, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Preston, Mr. Gale Jones,
and God knows who else ! The dulluess of the
placards was in some degree relieved by the
appearance, at the close of the day, of a
man named Francis Armstrong, who appeared
upon the hustings on one of the early days of
the Election, and called himself " St. George,
who Caine to slay Hunt, the Dragon." This poor
man, who is the author of slime eccentric political
essays, came with an arm chair, awl a small yellow
silk banner, on which was inscribed " Waterloo,"
encircled by a wreath of laurel, and placed him-
' self in the centre of the crowd. He held in his
right hand a sort of wand, on the top of which was
a carved horse's head, and iu his left a toy snake.
As soots as he mounted his chair, lie addressed the
crowd about the Regent's bomb in the Park, the
liiirdettite Rump, the Prince of Wales, Charly
Fox, the ithinortal William Pitt, end a variety of
other matter, incongruously jumbled together. The
people at length became tired of the orator and his

turvy, broke his chair into pieces, and hoisted him
sip into one of the booths, where lie resumed his ad-
dresses. brandishing in one hand one of the broken

THE BEER REPORT.

Extract from the Minutes taken before the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons on the Petition
Of bt vrral inhabitants of London and its vicinity
respecting the price and quality of beer.

[Continued from our Paper of yesterday ]

renerit, 8 die Mali, 1818.

JOHN 1NGR.4%1 LOCKHART, Esq. in the Chair.

(Mr. James Walsby's Examination continued.)

Yuu have stated, that were it not fur the expenves en-
fto ced upon the publicaos by the heenvlug systi ut, they
rroght aril their beer at a less profit to the public by a hllf-
penny or inure per put that; they do now ?—I think they
toizlit sell iffur at beast a liAlfpenny a pot less, if they had
no premium to pay out for litesimed team. I know publi-
cans who have given 1,3001. to 2,0001. fur a licensed lenae.
Are they giii- alloys, or victualling !mufti, or both ?
Huth; and I think they make as much by their gin as by
their beer. .

Selling as they now do, at sixpence per put, have they not
au increase of threedialfpence upon the price which they
give to the brewer, whirls is tom pence halfpenny per put
will tell the Committee what 1, thiuk the publican gets
aver and above the brewer's charge. The pubiican's advance
upon the brews,. is 17s. a barrel, deducting for laying down,
and expenses fur flintier% which they give. their men ; they
u~uallygive them something to rat and drink, it mate% it
about Is. 6d. a butt, or 6d. a barrel, leaving Ids. fol. per
barrel; 18s. per barrel would be tbree-halfpence per pot.
According to your opinion of the effect of the liceosing
system, if it well' done usi ay, mielti not the public.s sue_
reed equally wed with the profit of oue penuy a pue—No
sluts'st of It.

II one penny a pot were put upon your porter which you
sell to private families, it still might be sold at sevea•pence

And the publican enjoy equal profit to what h• does now ?
.--Nu doubt, if he had nu deductions act of his profit by

wove rudeness by Mr. EXERT. This is atigeigite
performance. It gives us, as far, we thiol4,..as,
acting can give, powerful picture of ftikalt•
SPEARE'S monster. The character of Trincolo was
rendered very amusing by Mr. flt.kucnsan, and
that of Stephan was humorously performed by
Mr. J. RUSSELL, who has succeeded Mr. SIMMONS
in the part. Prince Ferdinand was sustained by
Mr. ABBOTT with feeling and propriety. Miranda
and Dorinda found lovely and interesting represen-
tatives in Miss FOOTE said Mill BRUNTON. The
latter was peculiarly entertaining in her first inter.
view with Hippolyto. Nor must we omit to men-
tion, in approving terms, Mrs. Etuctr's personation
of Hippolyto. The great feature of the character,
ingenuous artlessness, was preserved with the utmost
fidelity. The play was exceedingly well received.
The house was well filled.
EAST LONDON THEATRE.
The East London Nero Theatre, lately the Hardly,
opened last night fur the season, under the nuin:rge-
merit of Mr. RAE, late !lounger of Drnry-lane
theatre. Long before the opening of the doors,
the avenues were crowded with people pressing
for admission, and the curtain rose to an over-
flowing audience. The gallery alone contains
1,200 persons ; it was completely lillrd. So
great a crowd was never witnessed at this
theatre, though it ranks among the oldest in
the metropolis. Oa the gof the curtain, the
vocal corps cdnie forward, and the loyal air of
God save the King was sung in an excellent style;
it excited the most enthusiastic feeling in the au-
dience. Mr. RAE then came forward and apolo-
gised for • deficiency in the lighting up of the
house, which he attributed to the pressure of time.
The apology, indeed, was unnecessary. There
was no defect in the preparations that could in
the slightest degree mar the pleasure of the per-
formance. A beautiful chandelier, lighted with gas,
suspended from the ceiling, vied its lustre through
the house, as in the winter theatres at the west end
of the town, and left nothing to regret as to light.
The company are very strong in talent, and their
exertions were crowned with loud and universal ap.
plause. At the fall of the curtain the house re-
sounded with continued and reiterated peals of
plsuse. They were renewed with increased effect
when Mr. RAE again cause forward, and announced
the entertainments fur the present night. The
theatre has opened with every prospect of • most
prosperous season.

Earl GROSVENOR—TiIe Noble Earl was very
