CHESTER, DEC. 22.

On Wednesday the 18th inst. eighteen boys and
girls, belonging to the 'Cotton Works of Messrs..
flimity and Jolts CLAKKE, of Middlewich, went
upon the ice on the Mill-pool adjoining the Town,
which suddenly breaking; nine of them fell in;
seven .of whom were in a. little time got our ; one
girl remained in some trine longer, having stuck in
the mud at the bottom, but was; drawn out much
bruised and cut by the ice ; another was not got
out until nearly an hour after; when she was imme-
diately cartiftd to a house in the neighboutliood,
and 'every possible means used for her recovery by
Mr. TAYLOR and Mr. W. BECKETT two Gentle-'
men of the Faculty), but inetredually. At the first
report in • the • Town of the ice being broke, the
Parents of such-Children. al were not in their re-
speaive houses,. were thrown into the gratest
tress, and the afiliding situation of the poor girl's
family, .who was drowned, is easier imagined than
described. It was a fortunate event, that the rest
of the people were at that moment employed at the
Works.

MA NSI orr -Ho tis —Sdiurday seveyal complaints
were made against Innkeepers, for not having deli-
vered parcels which came by the coaches to their
houses, within six hours after their arrival, in
pursuance of an Ad to that purpose. One of these
complaints was laid against Messrs—Wilson and
Co. of the Swan with Two Necki, in Lad-lane,
by a Mr. Wheeler, who told the LO•ICD MAvoR,
'that he had suffered great inconvenience from par-
cels directed to him riot having come to hand in
time. One of the Partners belonging to this Inn
came with the books, and stated that the particular
parcel in the charge against them bad never come-to
hand ; but admitted that the printed ticket which
came with the parcel had their porter's name on it.
The LOrd Mayor told him, there was no doubt
but the parcel had come .by the coachman -to his
Inn, and his Partners must be responsible for any
mistakes of their servants. He was then, by his
Lordship's order, fined zos. —Summonses were
granted against several other Inn-keepers, on the
application of persons who complained that they ex.
peeted turkies from the country. for their Christmas
dinners, but that they did not
.come until dinner.
-timewas past.

The folloWing particulars have come to hand r*.
latiVe to the apprehension of another of the four
deslierate villains who committed the robberies on
the Rumford-road. The watchman (as he was
called) who overtook and secured the first robber,
was Mt. Thomas Pearson, Constable of Ilford, a
courageous young man, who is a most valuable ac-
quisition to the Police in that quarter. Pearson,
the next morning, having learnt where another of
the gang was to be found, sallied forth, accompa-
nied by a lad, to apprehend him. The villain was
-at work in a field near East Ham Church, who,
upon Pearson's advancing, called him by his name,
saying, " I know your business, it is to take tie;
but I am determined that one of. us shall lay in
yonder church-yard." The desperado's words
were seconded by a reed-rook, which he, brandish-
Id in the air. Pearson remained undaunted, and
.presenting a pistol, demanded his surrender. The
robber, sensible of the crime which he had com-
mitted, and regardless of a life which, if he was
apprehended, promised but a short duration, boldly
dared Pearson to fire. The latter, finding it ne-
cessary .that noJ time should be lost, as a party of
'men and women at work in an adjoining field were
making towards Itim, he struck the villain a severe
-blow upon totearm, hoping to cause him to-drop
his Weapon, -but, failed, and the robber, who is' a
remarkably strong mat), in return, struck at. Pear_
son with his hOolg,, which fortunately only brushed
his hat : this gave 'Pearson, an opportunity to-Strike
a More desperate blow, upon
,the wrist of his anta.
gonht, and to close upOn him, when, after many se-
vere blows on b6th .sideSt Pearson got -him' down,
-and secured the villain alive. His male tompahions,
on observing that he was overcome, immediately
hid themselves behind- the hedges, but three wo-
men with pitchforks 'approached; and it was with
extreme difficulty that they Were kept off' without
Blood being spilt. The apprehended man is named
Wright ; he is committed to gaol? to take his trial
at the ensuing Assizes. His companion, whom
Pearson took on the night of the robberies; is so ill
as to prevent his reinoval'at .present from. Barking,

FRENCH juntcATtra,E,.—A Trial of a curious
nature 'came on before the Criininal. Tribunal
.of
Paris, on the 4thinst. ;---A Soldier of the name of
Remy Dandin having married AnneGuenissey, was
ordered with the Company to'which he belonged to
join his Regiment the .foltoWing.day ; so that he
and his wife were not allowed• to 'remain together
scarcely twenq,four hours.- They- corresponded
for some time, Mail the wife becoming acquainted
with Pierre Frl9,llenis, employed in the Qffice of the
Prefed of .Polige, proposed a divorce to her hus-
band. - The latter attempted, but in vain, to over
come her resolution; and being sent to sick quar-
rers, he forged a certificate -of -his--death,
.with a
letter by the Direaor of ihil-To'spitil;-stating, that
he had fallen a viftim to his,;wikccOnfidelity. The
;certificate and the letter Were, however, in Dandin's
hand-writing,- without any disgtifs'e.' Thirty-nine
days after the wife received these papers, she con-
traeted a second- marriage with Francois, while
• Dandin, having liad,time to refleeton what he had
done, previously informed his wife tbat he, was not
dead, and begged she would send him back „thecer-
tificate of his death, .promising' not-to trouble her
in her new engagement. It appeared on the trial,
that,
the wife and her seducer could nOt.havebeen
mistaken. in
,the hand-writing of Dandin; that be-
, fore their marriage they had received a due notice
of his being alive, and that the seducer had, by the
connivance of a person in the service of the-Minister
at War, succeeded in lodging the false certificate in
the
.proper Office, and in obtaining an authentic
copy, which he afterwards produced.in justify his
rnarriage.,—Dandin was acquitted on the ground
that his forgery was not intentional ; but the wife
and Francois were imprisoned, in_ older to be
brought, to trial, on the presumption that they had
used a forged•document, knowing it to be such.

We beg leave to call the public attention to the
Medicine advertised in' the first page, under the
name of the Black Drop, which will be found para..
cularly serviceable in Nervous arid Spasthodic Mee-
Lions, Pains in the Head and StoMach,- Depression
of Mind, Gout,: Ilteutnatism (especially when al-
felling the teeth and gumsY, Coughs, Asthmas, anti
the various complaints producing pain and want of
h_one of the best remedies for the Com-
plaints in the Bowels, so preValetit throughout tl:e
kingdom. •

The opinion entertained relative to the Gout
being incapable of a perfe& cure, is fully refuted in
the case of the respelable Writer of the following
letter, who, since cured in 1797, had no return
whatever of his Disorders.
