to have been stolen.
The prisoner Knight was entrnsted to ward a waggon, bat
on the arrival of the waggon at its place of destination the
butter was 'Miser], and it was In proof that Knight look a ben
to a plane in Aldersgate-street, and left it with a watchman,
for Woe lley, who had been a watchman nu that beat. Wood-
ley received it, and it was proved to comein butter, which ha-
sold at la. 3d. per pound.
The Jury pronounced both the prisoners Guilty.

A private letter from Paris mentions, that the M.
nistry have resolved to keep no further measures with
the Ultra-Royalists ; and that the majority, small as it
was, which enabled Government to pass the law on the
financial year, was the consequence of a declaration to
the above effect, announced by the Keeper of the Seals
in his speech ; the left side, or party of the Liberauz,
immediately uniting themselves to Ministers. M.
Laine was reckoned among the minority on that
question.
A numerous meeting of merchants, manufacturers,
and others, was held on Thursday at the City of Lcn-
don Tavern, for the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the necessity of petitioning Parliament. in order to
obtain an equalization of the Doty on Coals ; Mr. Al•
derman Wood in the Chair: when, after u very able
discussion, several Resolutions were passed unani-
mously ; and Petitions founded upon them, to both
Houses, agreed to. Alderman Wood was deputed-to
present that to the Commons.
G. Smith, a teacher of feting in Carrubber's Close,
Edinburgh, was lately charged as being the miscreant,
whose conduct has for soma time back been so grossly
shocking and annoying to numerous femal s in varic-s-
-places in the vicinity of fiat city. He was tlearly
idea-
tified by a number ofyoung Ladies, as tile pers,n who
had behaved towards them in a manner too indecent to
Llescrwe ; and the Sitting Magistrate, cons'uicring if a
case desetving of more severe punishment than he was
warranted so inflict, remitted it to the Sheriff.
Dartract ROBDERY,—Mr. Cornby, of Beddington
Sorry was attacked by a gang of seven or eidat per-.
sons, early on Thursday evening, on the Kastern side
of Blackfriars road, between Rowland Htll's Chapel
and Dover street, and robbed of 171. his watch, and
his hat. He was attacked by a violent blow upon the
neck, which levelled him, and his property was gone
in a few seconds. These ruffians are part of a detperate
gang, who turn out from their vile haunts in St.
George's-fields, nightly, and parade tha upper part of
Blackfriars road, in defiance of the watchmen.

Wednesday a'Couat of Directors was held at the Eas
!orbs house, when the following ships were thus sta
dolled and timed, viz. the Bridgewater, Marquis
Ely, and Larkins, for St. Helena and China; anslf
Apolle, Cornwall, and Matildo, for China direct, to
rfloat on the '23d inst.; sail to Gravesend on the
Ist• of March; stay there SO daps; and be in the
Downs oh the 10th of April.

A faLtl disturbance took place a few days since, at the New Inn, a
Fre/Ilford. A number of young men end women were drinking, and
about ninto'cloitk • violent quarrel took place among them ; the ,an
dles were extinguished, .nd the room rendered a scene of disturbance.
Mr. Mareltant, the landlord. with some difficulty succeeded in clear-
ing the room, and shut ,his street door against them. They then
began to beat at the eictr, and threatened to do mischief to the
Landlord; one young man said; he should be murdered if he was
not adrintted into the house; upon which the landlord opened the
door, when a young man, named J. Kehon. swore he would enter
the lion...rand was m the act of doing ,o, when the landlord @truck
him down with a stick. The blow proved a fatal one : and after
lingering in gra.t pain for a week, he expired. Mr. .Marchant hut
been cotunilwed to Ilitherton goal.
A fr4wl attempted on Sir IL Carr and his Lady. (th
widow of the late Minister. Nit Percival), by • le:ter purporting to
be written by a poor Clergyman named Ravens:reit, with a len
and lenge family, w:iti were rely distressed, and, in addition tw that,
his lathery was increased by having been thrown off the outside of the
!Iron' roach, and ote of his legs was broken. In tonfinnatim he
enclosed a letter from Lord Rinaing, desiring Fir acceptation of an
enclosed Bank note. The letter was sealed with the arms of Lord
Binning. Oa enquiry the fellow turned out to he an ion ostot ; the
Ilford coach had not broken down. nor hail Lord Binning enclo, d
Bank note to him, nor did he know any thing of the impostor. His
Lordship is at a loss to guess how he amid obtain the impression of
his seal.

EiRE.

Yesterday evening, at c..e n'eloek a fire brate out
in a house in Ileurietta-street, Covent-garden, belong-
ing to Mr. Slaw., ladies' shoe-maker. Tee dames
were first observed in a back room on the first 11;ar, in
the occupation of Mr. Jenks, collector of the p sr.chial
rates of the parish of St. Paul, who rented the upper
part of the house. The family were from home at the.
time; and in a few moments. the whole of the hack
part of the house was on fire ; and as the wind was
north west, blowing fresh, it was feared that all the
houses near Covent-garden on that Mae of the way
would be consumed ; however, by the timely arrival of.
the engines belonging to the different insurance offices,
and the exertions of the firemen, the conflagration was
got under at seven o'clock, with only the house where
the fire originated being burned down. At six o'clock
one of the female servants of Mr. Jenks appeared in the
street in a distracted state, end from her incoherent
expressiins it was susposed that a child had been
burned in the house ; but from the'most strict inquiry
we have every reasol to hope it is not the case. When
it first broke out, it: was generally supposed that it
was St. Paul's Church that was on fire. The evening
service was not performed in the church, in conse.
quenee of the confusion and alarm produced by this
occurrence.

THE DROPPED CHlLD.—Only another hill of
indictment was found at the Clcrlcen Se.ssions, at
the suite uf the palish of St. Andrew, Holborn, against
Ann .!rnr.ons, the midwife, for dropping the child in
'rash Street, Gray's Ina Lane. The first indictment,
on which she and the mother of the chid are out on
hail,`altd which they have traversed, charges them with
41 conApirmy ; and in case the first charge should not
be. established-, is the cause of the second indictment.

IlurrEttEn Sovermions.—Tile following singular
circumstance tc.nk place ou Fri.lity last. A Mr. J. of
Pcotonville, ea'ied on Thursday at a wholesale butter
merchant's in the nrighbourlmod of Matins Street,
and begged to be litvourel willi a firkin of butter for
his private use. After tasting several, be bought one,
and requested the seller to send it home. This was done,
and on Friday Mr. J. sawed the firkin in half ; but
ffndiug the saw met with some obstruction, he was
induced minutely to examine the cause, when, to his
titter astonishment, he found the impediment arose
from several-sovereigns sticking indiscriminately in the
butter; of course, Le made a closer investigation, and
actually picked out two hilnired and twenty of the
same coin. He doubted their being genuine, but on
carrying them ton bullion broker in the City, he offered
him two hundred aud twenty seven pound ten shillings
for them !
An ALIEN DEPORTED.—f)nPrieay welt an Alien, of the name
of Suing*, wu attested. by virtue of a warrant from the Home
De,.artotent. and immediately conveyed to Gravesend, tu be em-
barked fa the continent.

Some weeks agn, during the prepartion or a marriage feast, in the
pari4ll of CoHarr, in Scotland, a person contrived to iutrodoce into
ti.e broth a portioa of swrie atrial laxative medicines, which was
followed by consequences not probably onatainnlated by the aut!oir
of this tally trick. M any perk MIS who liar took of the broth have since
b.eu taken seriously ill, and one wox.An has actually died.
