RowsznY BY A SiivAltl.iirsClnesday evening. John
Grudge. a man of very respectable appearance. was brought
before the Sitting klagisuate. charged wtth robbing his master,
Admiral Dos lea. of Cavendish-nears. of Bank-notes to the
amount of $Ol. The fullowing are tae circumstances of the rob-
bey, as stated by the Admiral. and corroborated by Sturthers, the
pat:ole, who appi eliended the prisoner.
Grudge had been a long time in the service of the Admiral,
and bore an excellent charaeter. One evening, about a month
itco, the Admiral canto home, and in changing his dress, he left
his poet et-book, containing the cum mentioned. in his pantaloons.
Before lie went oat he aimed his pocketbook, and desired the
y 'ironer. who was his valet, to 64: ach his pantaMons fur it, but
the latter pretended he could not Bnd it. and the Admiral went
out, conceivir.g
.he had left it at the banking-house of Messrs.
Coutts and Co. in the Strand, but on enquiry found he had not.
Having the numbers, he traced one of them (for MO a few days
ago in the posse.,sion of the prisoner, who had endorsed it
with his own name. In consequence of this discovery,
the pat:ole, was employed to apprehend ete prisoner, and in
searching his boxes and closet, he found tho Admiral's pocket•
book, containing fidl. in bank notes, the whole of which were
identified by the pto:,ecutor, as those which he bad received from
MOWS. Courts. - . .

The prisoner denied the chair of robbery, and said he found'
the packet-book in the area of his master's house.

lie wits fully committed for trial.

In consequence of a representation made to the
Lords of the Treasury, by the committee for ma-
naging the affairs of Lloyd's, on the subject of the
inconvenience arising from the delay in re-shipping
goods saved from wrecks, their Lordships have been
pleased to suthorize the Commissioners of the Cu-
toms to vest a discretionary power in their tacers at
the outputs, to allow goods saved feola vescia'
wrecked on their outward voyages to be sent back
to the shipping port, in order that the delay occa-
sioned by a previous application to the Commission-
ers for that purpose may be avoided ; anl to instruct
their officers, when goods saved from wrecks are
from foreign parts, to use every care and expedition
for the preservation of such goods, and the speedy
clearance of the same for their destined port.
