PUBLIC-OFFICE, BOW:STREET.

THURSDAY evening John Mitchell, a well-known
character, was brought before R. FORD, Esq. by
Miller, one of the Bow-street Officers, who appre-
hended hiM the same day among the crowd assem-
bled near the
;Horse Guards, to see His Majesty go
to the House 'of Lords.
Miller said, that knowing 'the Prisoner to be a
suspicious chara&er, and judging he was there for
the purpose of picking pockets, he took him into
custody, and, on searching him, found the metal
watch and Bank-nores prOduced.
The Prisoner not being able to account, in a
satisfadory way, as to his means of living, was
committed for further, examination on Monday next,
and the watch and notes were ordered to be adver,
tised.

.Thomas Raherts was brought to the Bar; on a
charge of pickirig the pocket of a Mr. Swineard of
his watch, on Thursday last, near Storey's Gate,
Westminster..

The principal witness was William Hewett, one
of the Bow-street Patrole, who said that the Pri-
soner was among the crowd in Palace-yard, and
suspeaing his intentions, he followed him to
Storey's Gate, when he was joined by four or five
others, who hustled the Prosecutor, and Witness
saw the Prisoner take thedwatch, which he dropped,
4(1 Witnr3s ssir,ing him.
Mr. Swineard identified the watch, and gave a
corroborating account of his being. robbed.
The Prisoner was therefore fully committed to
take his trial for the offence at the present Old
Bailey Sessions.
Hewett, the Officer, was attacked in the most
violent manner, by a gang of four or five of the Pri-
soner's companions, who beat him in a most violent
manner on his head, .and ende3vcured to loosen his
hands from the Prisoner, but he persisted in his hold,
and fortunately the Jones's, Captains of the Patrole,
came up to his assistance and secured the Prisoner.

Mr. FORD spoke in the highest terms of praise of
Hewett's condlia, especially as he wag a young
Officer, having been appointed but- about a week,
and he ordered him a guinea. Mr. FOR p likewise
ordered half_a_guinea to another young Officer, of
the name of Lovett, for his good conduct.
Edward Nelson and John Clarke, two other no-
torious chara&ers, were brought in custody by
Townsend, and others, who apprehended them in.
the Strand on Thursday, as reputed thieves. They
were committed for further examination on Monday.
Yesterday forty-eight disorderly women, appre-
hended the. preceding night in the Parish of St.
Martin's, under authority ,of a privy search war.:
rant, in consequence of the complaints of the in-
habitants of the Strand, were examined before
N. BOND, Esq. and 'Sir WILLIAM PARSONS, when
the most profligate of them were committed to
Tothill.flelds till the next Westminster Sessions ;
one who appeared to have some inclination to return
to the paths of virtue, was restored to her friendi,-
and,the necessary steps taken to India a disorderly.
house in that Parish.

CONCRETE LEMON JUICE.
Mr. COXWELL, of Temple. Bar, having .been
given to understand that some other Acid has
been sold for Concrete Lemon Juice, feels it ne-
cessary to -observe, that he is pet mitted to refer
to the highest Authorities in this Kingdom, for
the purity -of that prepared by himself; and he
trusts that the precaution of signing every Package
withltis name, and in his own handwriting, will
afford sufficient security against imposition to those
who shall be desirous to make use of this conve-
'client and elegant preparadon.-

TEE ORDER OF THE
.DAY, PLENTY, PACIFI-
CATION AND, PRIZES.—Every heart dilates, every.
Motion is
.responsive to these sounds ! Of Peace,
which " smooths the wrinkled front of grim-visaged
war," and of the numerous Prizes, in the present
Irish Lottery, which must give the gainers Vielory
over Adversity, and also a joyous Peace, and com-
pletely " knit up the ravelled sleeve of Care."—
Certainly, Prizes, however numerous, and Plenty,
however unboUnded, are, compared to Peace, sub-
ordinate things ; but it is in human life, as at 'a
feast, the great component parts of the latter derive
their zest from their garnish. In like manner,
Plenty and Prizes are admirable sauce to Pacifica-
tion.
