CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—The London
Grand Jury en Friday found a true bill against Sir
JOHN SEWELL, CHARLES MURRAY, J. B. SHARP,
and One LONGUIVITZLE CLARKE, for a conspiracy,
in forming an unlawful Society, and fur committing
several alleged acts of intimidation and extortion.
MURRAY and SHARP are of course well known us
active officera of this misclnevous and officious
Society. CLARKE is, we conclude, a clerk in their
employ, and all have been doubtless selected for
the purpose of trying the question with the ostensi-
ble, though perhaps in themselves insignificant,
agents of the Conunittee.—(Evening Paper I.
As Mr. Serjrant VAUGHAN was on Friday after-
noon driving his gig near Leidester-fields, his
horse stumbled, fell, and threw him out of the gig.
He fell with great violence, and broke one of his
thighs a little above the knee, peceiving at the same
lime a contusion upon the forehead. The Learned
Serjeant was conveyed to his chambers, whets
Surgeon ASTLEY COOPER was rent for, and set the
bone. We are happy to soy that the Learned Ser-
jeant is doing well.
On Friday ve'nnight, the 13th inst. the Cam-

with the coachman cud guard, were very seriously
hurt.

MOVING Boo.— We have great pleasure in an-
flouncing that alI alarm respecting this awful phr-
nometion is now at an end, its progress having been
effectually stopped. The mining eflgititer of the
Dublin Society, RICHARD GRIFFITB9, Esq. re-
turned this 11111 l Mug with the cheering account,-
( Dublin Correspondent.)
Sir Wl4. MAXWel.l.'s celebrated race horse
Ciootie (formerly Lueifrr) was I;,und dead in his
stall, at Gollan Links, on Thorrodsy morning last.
He was quite wall the evening before.—(Edims
burgh Paper.)

A d itiog robbery was committed near Oundle
on F•ulay the 19th inst. about four o'clock in the
allernom. Wet. FOWLER, commonly called Loud
Fowler, of Elton, a collector of rugs, &C. was
stopped by two turn upon Ashton Wold, at the
IVarmingion late near Stamford corner, and rob-
bed of half-a-crown which he had in his pocket.
The robbers who (in all probability were no stran-
ger.) seem to have been well aware that FOWLER
went that read eery Monday and Friday in pur-
suit of his business, and that he generally had
more money about him ; for on finding only
2s. 6J. in his pockets, they threw him down, and
threatened to murder him if he opened his mouth.
They then examined his waistcoat particularly, and
discovered that he had Gl. in bank-notes stitched
within it. These they took from the poor fellow_
having, from want of a knife to cut the stitches,
gnawed them away with their terth.—This during
outrage occurred in broad day; and a man who
was mowing in au adjoining field must hate seen
the robbery, had he been aware of what was pall-
ing.
