Early ma Saturday week, as Mary Hughes, of 'Marshfield, was
rocectling to Bath market, she was attacked near the four-mile
atone' by two awn, apparently a soldier and sailor, who, alter rob
binE her of 81., stripped lite of L. clothes, and threw her into a
ditch by the road side; Where she veal diseavel ed about an hour
afterwards by a man driving a cart, who humanely covered her
with his frock and great coat, and Warned with her to Marsh-
field.

On Tuesday sennight, Mnry
,Ann Jenkinson wns committed to Ai).
pleby gao., tor stealing six heiters, the property of Mr. J. Simpson,
of Nihh, in Hydail Westmoreland. Tire prisoner was on her road
from ; she t,rund the cattle grazing near Grassniere. ard
drove them io Kendal (npi.sards sixtPen where she sold them
on Saturday. She is a young woman, a native of the neighbourhood
lAfligb)%ll.
Tuesday evening last, about seven o'clock, a man genteelly dres-
ed, went into Mr. nation's shop, at the corner of the Walks,
Bath, reline-ding to look at some hair-brushes ; he soon fixed on (up,
and asked for change of a 31. note, which lie held in his hand. Mrs.
N. who was serving him, laid four 11. votes on the counter, and
Was looking for the silver, when the gentleman took up the notes,
deliberately examined them, and then saying " just do—
good evening ma'am," walked out of the shop, and set along
York-street, with such precipitation as to elude pursuit, am: render
ineflectual the outcry ot " Stop thief!" which was made for him as
soon as Mrs. Marriott had r; covered the momentary sm prise which
the dating villain had created On Satnrday t•venine., while at-
tempting a similar trick at another shop in lath, he was appre-
hended, and proved to be a servant out of place, of the name of
Francis O'llrien.

A tew nights ago, Dr. W—, r medical gentleman at Bromp•
ton, was alarmed between °tie and two o'clock nv a noise in front
of his house. lie wrist to the window, when he saw a man taking
the gai den-gate oil it's hinges, which he removed to a neighbocr-
ill:: garden-gate, w here he commenced the same operation. The
Doctor dressed him-elf, :mil taking a loaded pistol in his hand, pro-
ceeded softly to his neighbour's gate. while the man was engaged
in taking it off the hinges, wha did not perceive the Doctor till
be seized him by the collar, and found he was the watchman, who
had, for the last twelve mouths, been allowed by the inhabitants a
very liberal subscription to be careful in guarding their gates ; and
the lady whose gate he was attempting when seized had been par-
ticularly kind in donations to his wife and family.
It will be recollected, that about two months since, the body of
an infant was taken out of the river near Kew bridge, and that in
consequence much obloquy was thrown on Dr. and Mrs. Bowen,
and a Mrs. Rogers, an inmate of the family, the whole of whom
had quitted the neighbourhood about that time. The aspersions
Navin: at length conic to the knowledge of the doctor, who with
his family, had take') np their residence in the south of France,
they lost no time in returning, and on Monday the matter was in-
vestigated at the Star and Garter, Kew-bridge, in the presence of
Mr. Hodgson, the Coroner, and the Jury, who sat on the hotly of
the child, as well as a Bunch of Magistrates, when the servants in
Dr. llowens family, as well as the Doctor himself, satisfactorily
proved that Mrs. Rogers was perfectly innocent of all suspicion of
the crime laid to her charge.—Mr. Hodgson, the Coroner, as well
as the Magistrates and Jury, declared their perfect conviction of
the iimumee I,f the parties on the evidence: then given.
As Miss Nicholas was riding. a few days ago, on the hank of the
11.hynmy, in Wales, her horse took fright, and gallopped fin ionsly
al-.g the road overhanging the river ; her servant endeavoured to
come lip with her in vain ; perceiving that her horse exerted himself to
keep the lead when he heard the other corning up, she made a signal
to the servant to chick his pace : her own hur-e, however, continued
his course with desperate speed, till she arrived at a place where a rock
fallen from the cliff occupied half the road : here the animal had
scarcely room to pass betwcen the rock and the precipice at-
tempt to pass, his hind legs and body slipped down the precipi...e,
awhile his fore legs only retained hold of the road : in this awful situa-
..tien. without assistance, or any prospect but destruction, the young
lady did not delay a moment to atte opt her de liveralice from the dan-
gers that surrounded her : she sprang from her at to a twig that
overhung, and regained the road in safety. The horse fell (a depth
of 1.00 feet) into the waters below) and swam-to the opposite skoie
aithout material wjery.
