DOW-STREET.

John Hogan, one of the prisoners on whops a quantity
of stolen property was found in a house in Compton-street,
and who underwent an examination on the previous day,
was yesterday brought up, charged with stealing a watch-
guard and two seals, the property of Mr. Henry Baylis, a
corn-chandler residing in High-street, Borough.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that the
articles produced were hanging safe in his counting-house
on the 10th of August, but about five o'clock in the even-
ing, having bad occasion to go into the street for the pur-
pose of assisting a man in replacing a sack of corn in a
cart, and leaving no person to attend to the shop or count-
ing-house, on his return they were gone.
Davis, the Under-gaoler, proved that on the 22d of
August, as he was conducting the prisoners to the van,
preparatory to their being removed to prison, he saw the
prisonerhand the articles produced to a man who happened
to stand near the van. Witness laid hold of him, and he
instantly passed them to a woman, from whom he immedi-
ately recovered them.
Ballard deposed, that on the 17th of Ausus4 tvisen in
the house in Compton-street, where he assisted in upre-
bending the prisoner and his companions, the prisona- en-
tered the room with another man, and he was instantly
detained. On searching him witness found the articles
produced, and upon asking how he came possessed of them,
be said they belonged to his father, or that he got them
from his father, in consequence of which they were re-
turned to him.

Tke prisoner was ordered to be fully committed for trial.
13'. Freegrove, who appears to be the principal in the
robberies, was again charged with stealing a roll of carpet-
ing, upwards of thirty yards, value seven guineas, the pro.
perty of Mr. Danks, of Tottenham-court-road.
The prosecutor proved that the carpeting produced was
safe on his premises about six weeks back, and he did not
see it for three weeks, when it was in the possession of
the officers. It bore the private mark of his establish-
ment.

Ballard traced the property to the house of Mr. Txler,
a tailor and piece broker, residing in South-row, Carnaby
Market.

Mr. William Tyler proved that he knew the prisoner
for upwards of two years, and on the evening of the 16th
of August last, he came to his house, bringing a pattern
of carpetting, and offering to dispose of an entire piece,
as he wanted to make up some money. The price
he asked was 33. 3d. a yard. Witness told him it
would not suit him, and ho went away taking the
pattern with him, but he returned in about ten
minutes, offering the article for a less price. Wit-
ness offered 2s. 9d. a yard for the entire piece, which he
consented to take, and in the course of the day he brought
the carpctting, and received 3/. 11s. as part-payment.
The prisoner then said it was his own property, and that
he had bought it, and on the next day it was delivered up
to the officers.

The prisoner declined making any defence, and be wag
ordered to be fully committed for trial.
The prisoner was then charged with his wife, and Louisa
Bell, her sister, with stealing 23 yards of flannel, pro.
duced from the shop of Mr. Savaker, draper, of Rathbone-
place, and in order to afford time to bring forward a per-
son who saw the robbery take place, they were remanded.
The prisoners were again charged with stealing, on the
16th of August, 26 yards of Scotch tweel, from the shop
of Mr. Trowter, draper, of Oxford-street. The property,
on being produced, was fully identified by the prosecutor.
Ballard proved that when be questioned the male pri-
soner about the property which was found in the room by
Fletcher, he said he had bought it from a dealer, but he
could not say who he was, where he lived, or here he
came from.

The prisoners were also committed on this charge.
Thos. Caulfield, the remaining prisoner, was charged on
suspicion with stealing a child's mahogany chair, together
with a looking glass produced, but as the proper owner of
the articles has not as yet made his appearance to give evi-
dence, he was ordered to stand remanded.
. .

There are several articles still in the hands of the
officers which have not been claimed.

HAMBURG MAIL.

HANOVER, AUG. 30.—The Commissioners appointed
to draw up proposals relative to the Constitution, whose
sittings commenced on the 24th of this month, are pro-
ceeding with great diligence in the task assigned to
them, so that it is thought they will be able to make
their report within a month. His. Majesty has been
pleased to add two new members iii'the Commission,
viz., the Privy Cabinet Councillor, who performs the
functions of President, and Dr. Klenze, who acts as
Secretary. Dr. Stuves' defence of the Magistrates was
given in yesterday.
CELLE, AUG. 26.—The King arrived here yesterday
afternoon, and will stop during the races. These was
no formal reception of his Majesty by the citizens, bet
the officers of the infantry and cavalry here paid their
respects to him by a procession by torch-light yester-
day evening after be had returned from an evening party
at Baron d'Ompteda's. The Duke of Munswiek arrived
this morning, and came with the King to the race-
ground, where they walked up and down for some time.
At the instance of some persons the city Was to be illu-
minated this evening. Some houses were indeed
lighted up, but on the whole the town remained dal* ;
in the suburbs, where the principal civil officers reside,
not a window was illuminated. The Burgomaster has
given orders to illuminate the senate-house, but as the
Magistrates had then decided by a majority of vo!es
that there should be no illumination, several Senators
protested against the order of th t Burgomaster, and so
defeated the intention. Some of the inhabitants had
threatened to break the windows which were not
lighted up, and on that account guards were stationed
before several considerable houses. All however was
quiet. The King did not drive through the town.

A writer in the Journal des Debats, of the 31st
ultimo, who describes himself as au " Inhabitant of Sene-
gal," states that be has examined a portion of the claims
of the British merchants upon France arising out of the
proceedings at Portendic, and that, putting aside all.
national partialities, he is of opinion that France ought to
pay to the claimants a sum of at least 60,000 francs. We
are informed that there is an item in the claims amount-
ing to about that sum, more or less; and it affords us great
satisfaction to observe that even this item is admitted, as
it would clear away at once the discussions which are
pending between the two countries relative to the transac-
tions of 1834. We take it for granted that as the letter
of the " Senegal Inhabitant" is published in a conspi-
cuous manner by the Journal des Delmits, and as the
official papers connected with the claims must have bees
put into his hands for " examination," his opinion upon
this point may be considered as that of the French
Government. Chronicle.
Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven
o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to Mr. James Bur-
ley, a builder, residing in Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-
square. The unfortunate gentleman was ascending a lad.
der to a scaffolding, a height of forty feet, in Harper's-
fields, Paddington, when stepping on to a scaffolding board
the end tripped up with him, and he fell to the groan
fracturing his left leg and thigh in so shocking a manar.r
that amputation must be immediately performed. '
Wednesday afternoon a serious accident occ7 ed
117
in Pall-Mall East to...te groom of Lord Shelbur.w. It
apppears that his Lordthip had just got out of his gig, and
was proceeding iato Messrs. Hancock' glass
when one of the mail carts drove furiouslys ;w arehouse,
nst the gig
and upset it ; the groom was dashed to the, and
much injured. The horse set off and carJe into calision
with a street cab very violently, but wr.s stopped before
further mischief occurred.
LAMSTERDAM, SEPT. 3.—Our Government are
now, it is said, applying themselves eagerly to the work
preparatory to the 'new coining of our specie, for which
object a law was passed in the States-General towards the
end of last session. And, indeed, this is most necessary.
Our metallic specie is generalljt.admitted to be in a most
wretched condition. As to the old Dutch coins which are
still in circulation, and constitute, in fact, nine-tenths of
the existing coin, they have almost lost the appssaraneq.. of
what they were intended to represent. Time and con stant
rubbing have worn off their faces, and made thew , thin,
whilst the " honest" class of money clippers, win. ,m the
severe punishments enacted by our penal law agai nit this
shameful industry do not prevent from being ver y nume-
rous, have made them small. so that in fact they are nothing
but thin round pieces of silver, with scarcely anj • distinc-
tire mark, and of hardly an intrinsic value hal( of what
they primitively were.
UMBRELLA MANIA.—The Natchitoc hes He-
rald states that an estimate has lately been mad e of th c
umbrellas stolen in and about town within the la: ;t twelve
months, and it amounts to the enormous nurnlsei •of 417 ' •
sonic gentlemen losing as many as a dozen, a ud aimesi
every one three or four.
