Yesterday a man of a respeaable appearance was
examined before Nicitotas BOND, Esq. and Sir
Ltast PARSO:fs, charged with feloniously steal-
ing from the stable of Mr. Hall, at Kensington
Gravel Pits, a grey gelding, the property of :Mr.
Frederick Choppin ; and a grey mare, the property
of the Hon. Charles Dundas. It appeared in evi-
dence, that the mare and gelding were properly se-
cured in the stabla, on the night of the 1. 9th instant,
and on the morning following the stable was disco-
vered to have been broke open, and that both the
mire and gelding were gone. Upon diligent en-
quiry being made, they were traced to Wheatley,
where tae Prisoner wasovertaken riding the mare
and leading the gelding, and secured. The Pri-
soner was committed forfarther examination. He
said in his defence, he puxhased both, the same
morning, at High WycoxnJe.
A few nights since, the house of Dr. Sanders in
Upper Berkley-street, Portman-square, was broke
firm and robbed of plate to a considerable amount,
and other p:operty.

Oa Wednesday the Non-commissioned Office= of
the. Sussex Militia, commanded by their Adjutant,
preceded by the excellcnt band belonging to that
c:lrps, marched to Goodwood,, and received from
their Colonel, his Grace the Duke of Iticumown,
the colours of the regiment, previous to their march-
ing film Lewes and Brighton, where they are, on
Thursday next, to be embodied.
Avery hot press. took place last Saturday n;ght at
Bristol; the press-gangs were uncommonly =tier-
ous, and attended by some of the military. At every
avenue of the city, parties of the military were sta-
tioned to prevent any escape. Upwards of 200 men
were picked up; many of whom. not being seamen,
were discharged on Sunday morning.
On Thursday night a rendezvous was opened at
Greenock for the reception of volunteer seamen and
landsmen, under the regulation of Capt. TATHAM
and Lieut. Ty ite, of his Majesty's.na.vy.
Sunday afternoon, as the gang and a party of the
marines Nvcrz conduding some of the pressed men
to I .amplighter's-hall,in or to put them on board
his Majesty's ffigate in Kingroad, they were violent-
ly assaulted it s Hotwell-ruad by a large mob, who
thing mud and stones, which so irritated the mili-
tary, that they fired among them, and, we are sorry
to state, that a boy was killed, and two or three
wounded.
A story is told in the last Frenoh rar,,,, which ex-
ceeds in audacity and desperation any thing that has
lately occurred—.r our own metropolis. In the even-
ing of the 22d of March, a man of the name of
Monet. knocked at the door of Madarne.BosNe.tu,
