MORE MONSTERS.

Wednesday, Francis Osborne, examined on Monday, at the
Mansion House, on a charge of exposing himself indecently te
several y9ung girls in Moorfields, was again brought up for a
final examination. The circumstances ofthe prisoner's shame-
ful and infamous conduct. were detailed by two children, and
after the case had been clearly made out against him, he was
committed for trial. Miscreants of the above description Kaye
lately infested various parts of the metropolis.
A wretch of most diabolical propentities has, within the last
few days, created considerable alarm in the neighbourhood *of
Knightsbridge and Chelsea by most atrocious conduct towards
two or three females, whom chance had exposed to his brutal
att;cks. On Thursday evening Miss L. of Chelsea, whilst re-
turning from a friend's house, in Mount-street, in her way
across the park, was accosted by this villain, who was then
dressed as a clergyman ; he addressed her in the most insinuat-
ing m Inner, and from his general demeanour, not the slightest
suspicion could be entertained of his intention. When about
half way across the park, and at a distance from any passenger,
he suddenly stopped, and seizing her round the waist, drew from
his pocket a sharp instrument, with which he stabbed her in the
thigh, and immediately ran off. Her screams drew several per-
sons to her assistance, but it being nearly dark, the villain
was soon out of sight, and effected his escape. Miss L. was
taken to the house of a Gentleman, in Park-lane, where the
most humane attentions were paid to her; a surgeon was sent
for ; her wound, which was not dangerous, was dressed, and in
the course of the evening she was removed to her own house in
a coach. The same wretch, it is suspected, stopped a female
servant to a gardener, at Brompton, as she was passing along
Gore-lane, soon after dark a few evenings since, and, whilst
conversing with her, took an opportunity to wound her severely
in the arm. The most vigilant exertions are making to discover
the villain.

IMM•1••••••
On Monday afternoon, about-five o'clock, a sailor, in a state
of insanity, mounted the lamp iron upon the centre arch of West-
niinster Bridge, and, to the no small surprize of the spectators,
who stood and looked on, be took his hat off. Rung it into the
river, and immediately leaped after it. He at first sunk, but,
after a short interval, rose, and swam remarkably well. He was
picked up by some boatmen, and conveyed to the Red Lion
public-house, where he partook of some brandy, and when asked
the reason of his jumping into the river. he said he did it with a
view t•i drown himself, as he knew he should be hanged, having
committed murder, and various other crimes too numerous to de-
tail. In the course of his observations, he was found to be very
incoherent, and in a delirious state ; he was conveyed in a coach
to one of the receptacles for lunatics.
Ex ECU 110 N.—Tuesday morning, Joseph Antonio and Joseph
King, for various robberies, and Thomas Mann, for forgery,
were executed at the Debtors' door of Newgate,. pursuant to
their sentences. They met their fate with becoming fortitude.
Antonio and King were attended by a Catholic Clergyman, and
Mann, by the Ordinary of Newgate. Soon after they were tied
up, they were Lunched into eternity. John Francis, who was
also tried with Mann for forgery, received a respite the night
previous to the execution.
