MIRANDA's EXPEDITION.

Capt. LuctETT, of the Schooner Alert, arrived at
Alexandria in twenty days from Curacoa, informs,
that by an *arrival from Maracaibo, oft the Main, on
the sth of August, the following information was
received by a Jetrer from a Gentleman 'there
We 'have now at anchor •in Vero Guiph two
large Ships, two Brigs, and seven Schooners ; all.
of which Fleet appear to be armed, have landed
some troops, and drove our men out of a small Fort
which they now have in possession : we have not
yet been able to learn whether they are British or
NI lAxtm." •

Another Schooner that arrived 'the day I.left
racoa, mentions leaving.the Meet .at an anchor in
Vero Guiph. Captain 14-,'LDRIO6E,' who arrived on
the 6th, was boarded- to - windward of Bom,ir on
the sth by a British Sloop of War : the Lieutenant
informed Captain Et.patrxi;;,' that Mat.iNDA had
seven armed Vessels when they left the Wind-
ward tilands; and that Admiral COCHRANE had.
, forbid the impressment of MIRANDA'S men. It
'was generally believod at Caracoa, when I left -it,
that MittANDA was in this Flea, as the British
could have no such Fleet in that quarter. No -'ar7
, rivals at Curacoa for ten days before J. left it from
;any part of the Main near Vero .2. thie had caused
Spanish Vessels to remain nearly that length -of
time in port for information with cargoes on board-
for the Main—West India produce is rising hourly
at Curacoa in consequence of this alarm.

We are sorry to learn that the apples in Hereford-
shire will not turn out more than half a crop ; froth
their ripeness and large size, hoWever, the cyder -is
expected to be better than has been made fur some
ears past.- -Hops will be in tolera-ble plejity. •

Mary. Hanwell was charged by her mistress, Mrs.,
Garcian, a Jewess, with stealing divers articles of
wearing amine), her property. Several Pawn-
brokers appeared, and produced a quantity of shirts,
shifts, and other articles, which had been pawned
by the Prisoner at different times. D'lrs. Garcian

BOW-STREET.-011 Monday evening a respeClable
tradesman of Ipswich made application to Mr. READ,
the Sitting Magistrate, requesting his assistance in
regaining his daugiter, who had elOped from him on
Flidav last with. .an Officer belonging to the 7.tfi
Light Dragoons. Mr, READ immediately dispatched
Anthony with the father -and uncle,- and from .some.
information which they had received, they went to
a house in Prince's-street,- Hanover-square, where
they found her alone in bed. The Officer d6ired
her to get up'; with which she very Unwillingly:6M-
plied. The Officer then deliVered her up to her father
and, uncle, who received her very cordially, and
.the
next clay they went out of town, putting her in the
coach, and riding in a single-horse chaise, at a Con-
Sidera'ole' distance behind. Wheh the coach hltd
got a few miles out of town; it stopped at o honge
to water t,!le horses, where the young Lady got out,
and made her escape from the back 1 art of the
house ; it was some time before the lather and uncle
came up to the coach, and until then the young
Lady was not missed. The father and, uncle imme-
diately returned to town, and went to the Office
again, when Mr. READ sent Pearkes with them,
wholbund.her in bed, in the same house, in Prive's-
street ; the Officer was almost obliged to 1)01 her
out of bed ; she, however, got up, and Was again
delivered to her relations ; they all three setont yes-.
terday morning together, in a coach. She is about
17 years of age, tall, and a very elegant figure.
On Tuesday ILiliianz King was brought before
Mr: READ, charged with nicking the pocket of Mr.
Geo. Pritchard, in the Strand.

Mr. Pritchard stated, that as lie wac.coming along
the Strand, somebod, walked close'b-ebind him, so as
to touch his heels, when Mr. Johnson, a Gentleman
who happened to be.passing at the time, said, " Sir,
-.your pocket has been picked ;" on which he turned
round, and saw the Prisoner running full speed, and
throw a handkerchief under a cart. The Prisoner
was soon secured.

He was committed for further examination.

A Mau of the name of Linis, who keeps a Oland-.
lef's shop in Staines, was charged on suspicion of
having stolen- a 201. Bank note, the property of
Counsellor Agar.
It appeared that the Counsellor, about two months
since, was travelling in a post-chaise into Cornwall;
he J topped at the Bush Inn at Staines to take some
refreshment, after which he proceeded to Bagshot,
where he missed his pocket-hook, containing a 201.
Bank note ; he in consequence -sent his servant hack
to inquire after it ; ,but couldlearn no tidings of it.
The landlord of the Bush Inn caused every pos-
sible
,inquiry to be made, but in vain ; he caused

I Yesterday as a Gentleman was returningAo-his
house at Clapham in a one-horse.chaise, one of the
traces got loose on the south declivity of BJACkfriars-
bridge, which frightening the horse,' he
,set
..off at
' Inll speed, and turned down bytheMuseum•Tavdrn,
into Upper Ground-street (which is paved and -very
narrow) ; nor had .he gone many yards before the
chaise came in contaEt with a loaded coal-waggon,
when by the concussion the Gentleman was thrown
itno the open shop of a blacksmith, ,with such vio-
lence, that his bead and shoulders were forced
through a glass partition of a small counting-house;
carrying with him the frame and about, eight panes
of glass ; the other part of his body tell on the work-
sbench, among, the vices and other_ tools. He was
taken up senseless, and a Surgeon being, procured,
he ordered him to beput to bed in the-house, where
his wounds were dressed,, and it was. hoped nond
them-would prove dangerous. He remained at the
blacksmith's house till evening, when, he;was:Con-
veyed hbrue. The 'chaise ;was a -complete wreck,
the shafts and wheels being shattered. to pieces ;:but
the horse •was secured without. having received any

•Yesterday one of the hackney coaches on the stand
in Cheapside being left by the driver, the horses,
which were blind, drew it into a large aperture
where the workmen were employed mending_ the
water-pipes. The traces breaking, the horses were
released without injury; but the coach was shattered,
and got out with great difficulty.
On Tuesday last, as three children of Mr;
of Eastliam, accompanied by .a nursery-maid, were
walking within a few miles of theft residence, they
were met by a farmer's cart returning from London,
laden with dung, whose driver, it seems, was sleep-
ing upon the load : the cart inclining into the foot-.
way irlduced the, girl to call out loudly to tire man,
but he coup: not be awakened until after one of the
wheels bad crushed the girl andlwo of the children
(one an infant in her arms) against a wall, and passed.
over the legS of the third, a remarkably strong boy,
nearly three years old,' which rendered amputation
necessary, Snell flagrant condda of drivers of carts
should be SeVerely punished ; instances of similaracci-
denta do not avail, and trivial punishment will not deter
them from this' almost habitual custom, of sleeping
upon their carts. It is very remarkable, that a cart be-z
.
longing to the same proprietor, and probably the
same cart, owing to the like .cause, went over a
man on the. preceding day, and killed him on the
spot.

Lady }10.01) met with An accident in.going on
board the Centaur, at Portsmouth, which providen-
tially did not end as was feared. Her Ladyship, in
the tender anxiety to-see her brave husband (Sir S.
Hoot)), did not wait for the chair to be hoisted out,
and on going up the ship's side, her foot slipped,
and she fell into the water. Much alarm was in-
stantly felt for her safety, it being quite dark (three
o'clock in the morning), but the exertions made to
rescue her being instantaneous,- her Ladyship was
taken safe into the Ship.
There are now living in the small village of With-
ington, near Shrewsbury, nine old ladies, whose
united ages make seven hundred and twenty-one
years, and are all in perfect health.
