THE HARVEST.

Reports from all parts of the county speak very favourably
of the condition and quantity of the various crops. Cutting
corn is now becoming general throughout this extensive agri-

cultural district.

The gloom which pervaded the minds of many, produced by
fears of a greatly deficient crop, is passing away, and expecta-
tion is now entertained of a harvest but little, if any, below an
average. All is activity in the agricultural counties, and in
the course of another week "the joy of harrest" will be general
in the southern and western districts, while the eastern and

northern parts will derive yet more advantage from the genial
influence of the now propitious weather.—Lincoln Gazette.
The few days we have had of fine weather has produced a
great change in the crops. In certain situations the beautiful
yellow tint has made its appearance, particularly in the barley.
'The wheat generally stands up well, and is firmly topped;
there is no doubt that a little time of fine weather would ripen
and secure a very abundant produce. Already oats are begin-
ning to be cut in the neighbourhood of Doncaster. Saturday
being so remarkably fine, in comparison with the changeable
weather we have had, a favourable change for the consumer
took place in Doncaster market. Wheat fell 25., and in some
cases 3s. a load.—Sheffield Iris.

Itmealsa.—Since Monday last (August 13) the weather
has been very variable, and, upon the whole, unfavourable.
On Thursday morning rain again commenced, and has conti-
nued to fall at intervals ever since ; but the weather took up
about eleven yesterday, and has been since fine and warm,
with occasional showers. At our Corn Exchange, on Tues-
day, wheat fell 2s. ; but on Friday it recovered the ad-
vanced rate of that day week, and a sample of new
(white) reached the very high price of 50s. per barrel, which
is equal to 83s. El-d. the English quarter of eight Winches-
ter bushels. This is considerably beyond the rates at which
the duty upon the importation of bonded wheat falls down
to the minimum—one shilling. But it would appear that all
the wheat now in Great Britain, home and foreign, would not
supply more than six weeks' consumption. Unless there
should he an extensive foreign importation within a short
period, the new wheat will necessarily be greatly run upon for
immediate grinding, as soon as it appears at market. This,
of course, would keep up, if not advance, prices still higher.
We are then, at the present moment, in a most critical posi-
tion as regards the growing crops, and a week or two of fine
weather would be of the most inestimable value. Meantime,
it is most gratifying to find that little harm has yet been done,
and, although the harvest will be late, the crops of all kinds,
even the wheat, promise an average yield; oats and potatoes
more than an average.—Dublin Mercantile Advertiser.
The weather during the past week has undergone a material
chancre for the better; with the exception of Thursday and
part of yesterday, the entire week was dry. The crops con-
tinue to look remarkably well ; they arc, however, but slowly
assuming the hue of ripeness. In all probability, it will be a
fortnight yet before there is any grain cut in this neighbour-
hood.—Downpatrich Reporter.
The weather still continues unfavourable. About three
o'clock this morning there was an extremely heavy fall of rain,
and although the weather has since cleared up, there has been
a high wind all day, which is likely to do some injury to the
ripening corn. Nevertheless, the accounts from the country
generally continue to be encouraging, and a week or two of
dry warm weather would ensure fair average crops. It will be
seen from the subjoined reports that the harvest has been al-
ready secured in several of the southern and western districts
of England. We received this morning a letter from our
Westmeath Correspondent, who states that the wheat and other
crops have been injured to some extent by a very minute in_
sect; but in other respects his statement does not differ sub-
stantially from his report for the centre of Ireland, published
last week. Our Correspondent—an eminent agriculturist, now
on a tour in the north—still reports very favourably of the
crops.—Dublin Evening Post.
The grain crops around town are colouring so fast that the
sickle, in a few early spots, may be put to the shock before
the present month is out. Such farmers as have examined
their fields minutely, agree in stating that the oats and barleys
are filling well, and promise a sound, plump pickle, should
there be no return of continued rain and flood.

Since the above was written our hopes have been a good
deal damped in respect to the weather. Between Saturday
night and Sunday morning a good deal of rain fell ; but the
showers were gentle compared to the sad deluges of yesterday,
more particularly as evening approached. The glass again is
down, and the prospect most dismal. While we write we hear
not only rain lashing, but " wintry winds drivin' on wi' fury,"
and, altogether, Monday, the 20th, was more like a day in
December than August.

The season thus far has been favourable to horticulture, at
least in the great majority of departments. Peas and beans
have run too much to straw; greens are tall and spindly; cau-
liflower in many places has failed, and cabbages of all kinds
seem exceedingly small, even where firm and tolerably headed.
Carrots and onions have been dreadfully cut up by a white
maggot, and has even attacked the fruit-trees, and effected
a lodgment in many an apple. Garden carrots will be a scarce
commodity, and such as store them for winter use must trust
exclusively to the open fields. Onions are not quite so bad,
but still they will be dear compared to the general run of sea-
sons. In spring, there was a great show of blossom ; but al-
though much of it sot very little comparatively came forward,
and, speaking generally, the supply of fruit will neither be
large, nor well flavoured. In the South of England the case
is different.

It rained rather heavily on Sunday morning, and one or two
slight showers have since fallen ; but the weather is on the
whole not so unfavourable as variable ; and the crops are in a
thriving condition. The accounts from different parts of the
country show that general hopes are now entertained of an
average harvest but these hopes, of course, decend on the
chance of fair weather. We observe that Mr. Millar, Inver-
leith Mains, commenced cutting a large field of barley yester-
day, which appears to be quite ripe, and a fair crop. We also
noticed on the same fa.m wheat pretty well coloured, and a
very heavy
crop ; and it gives us pleasure to add that the same
remark may, to a great extent, be made of the corn fields in
this neighbourhood.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday.
Barley harvest commenced in East Lothian on Thursday,
the 16th inst, on the estate of Lochend, the property of the

ting did not commence on the latter farm till the 21st of

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ACG7I.—In order to give eclat as
much as possible to the meeting yesterday, the morning was
ushered in by the ringing of all the Church bells, and then
was almost an entire cessation of business, crowds of persons
being assembled around all the sectional places, anxious to ob-
tain a view of, if not to show their respect to the assembles
philosophers. All the main streets leading- to these places
rendezvous were also crowded throughout the day, and had th,
appearance of a lively and fashionable promenade. To fou'
of the sections, viz., A. Mathematics and Physics; B. Che-
mistry and Mineralogy; C. Geology and Geography; and G
The Mechanical Sciences, ladies were for the first time ad-
mitted, and from this circumstance, all but that on Chemistry
were most incommodiously crowded, the former especially, as
it was known that Sir John Herschel would make the first an-

nouneccnent of several of his discoveries in the southern re-

gions. Strangers continued to arrive in great numtnrs
throughout the day, and the Inquiry-room and Town Halt
were tilled during the day. The following is a programme
of the most interesting scientific proceedings during the sit-
tings of the Sections, which met severally in the morning, at
11 o'clock.

Section D. Zoology and Botany.--Sir Was. JARDINE, Bart.,
President, in the chair. .

A paper was read from Mr. W. H. Clarke, of Liverpool, on
a fish of Surinam, with four eyes, which although previously
unknown to zoologists, was met with in large shoals off som,

parts of the coast Of Surinam, the water sometimes assuming
a dark colour from their presence. Two of the eyes are in the
usual position, but on the crown of the head there is a protu-
berance like the horn of a buffalo, in which there are two other

organs of vision, which move alternately with the former. It
lids a singular mode of escape from its enemies, for, when

alarmed l the sentinals it retreats to the bottom with its head
upwards, and by the aid of its dorsal fins, buries its body in the
stud, but in this position they are frequently decapitated in
large shoals by the ground shark, which is their most invete-
rate enemy. It possesses various Indian native names, one of
which is " Food for the Chiefs," so that it appears to resem-
ble the white bait of the River Thames. It was, however,
considered by the meeting that there was not sufficient autho-
rity to specify it as a distinct species.
Mr. BABINGTON read a paper on the botany of the Channel
Islands, which is intermediate with that of Britain and the
Continent. The whole islands contain 760 varieties, of which
twenty are new.
Mr. GRAY described the various collections of natural his-
tory in the town and its vicinity, and also exhibited some new
species of shells contained in some of the private collections.
Mr. Gray also made some remarks on the angular coloured
marks and lines on the corners of shells.

Section B. Chemistry and Mineralogy.—Rev. Professor
Wit EWELL, President.
Professor TuomPsoN read a notice of a new native com-
pound of di-arseniate of iron which exhibits a discrepancy of
analysis, although partaking of the same external character as
the known one.

Mr. RICHARDSON read some remarks on the composition of
sphene, having, from his experiments, differed in his con-
clusions in the proportion of the constituents.
Mr. SCANLAN read a paper on the action of light on nitrate
of silver. It appeared from experiments that had been for
some years in progress, that when hermetically sealed and
properly excluded from atmospheric air and organic matter,
although exposed freely to light, no change would take place. It
appeared from this that the nitrate of silver is not, as generally
supposed, blackened by exposure to light; but by being
charred with organic matter, or the particles of dust floating
in the atmosphere. From the same author was also read
some observations on the constitution of ammoniacal carbonates
of commerce, by which he proved that there did not exist a
sesqui-carbonate, as generally stated; but that the results of
analysis showed that this salt was a mixture of proto and
bi-carbonates of soda from the action of water.

Mr. MURRAY read a qualitative analysis of the waters of
the Dead Sea, in which be pointed out the presence of boracic
acid and sulphuretted hydrogen, which had escaped the notice
of previous chemists. These, it was suggested, were proofs
of this being a volcanic water.
Mr. EXLEY also read a paper on the specific gravity of
nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and chlorine, and the vapours of
carbon, sulphur, arsenic, and phosphorus, a purely hypotheti-
cal question.
Section A.—Mathematics and Physics.—Sir JOIIN HEns-
C

fEL in the chair.
Col. Rum, R. E., read a paper on the law of storms and
monsoons. It was founded on the observation of several of
the most remarkable storms occurring within the last few years,
the courses of which were accurately defined. No theory was
advanced, but a considerable number of facts adduced, to
which lie solicited the co-operation of future observers. He
traced the effect of a monsoon as emanating from a centre,
and describing a common circle—an opinion which was sup-
ported by
The PRESIDENT, who stated the singular opinion that the
spots of the sun were produced from the operations of similar
causes that produce terrestrial monsoons, which move in a pa-
rabolic curve in different directions in both hemispheres of the
earth and sun.

Sir JOHN HERSCIIEL read a very elaborate and lengthened
paper, including the following subjects :—Reduced observa-
tions of the nebulae in the southern hemisphere, with a list of
the double stars and their micrometrical admeasurements ; a

list of planetary and annular nebulae discovered in the same
portion of the globe, accompanied with three specimens of
drawings illustrative of the same. This being a matter of
enumeration and mathematical calculation, is scarcely fitted
for a public Journal, on account of the necessary conden ation
that is required.
Section G. Mechanical Science.—CilikaLEs BABBAGE,
Esq., President. The first paper read was a communication
from Mr. Garnett, of Newcastle, on an invention and improve-
ment of a two-armed telegraph. The instrument is con-
structed of two ladders placed two feet apart at the bottom,
and 18 inches above. Two dials are placed at the bottom,
which can each indicate eight positions. These, with their
combinations, will produce 88 numbers, which refer to words,
and affording greater facility of communication than any other
in use. The invention is also ingeniously applied to a noctur-
nal telegraph, by being made to cover different coloured lights.
Mr. SOPWITII rcad a paper on an instrument to facilitate
the projection of objects isometrically. It conisted of bars of
brass placed parallel and diagonally to indicate the different
positions of places on maps, and lay down drawings on this
principle. A map of Newcastle was exhibited sshich had thus
been constructed. He also exhibited an isometrical protractor,
and suggested the improvement of using drawing paper pre-
pared with isometrial triangles and ellipses. Mr. Sopwith
also read a paper on an improvement in writing tables, an in-
genious mechanical construction, and which was applicable
for storing or carrying philosophical or other tender in-
struments.
Mr. MAULE made a communication on a new mode of sup-
plying steam boilers with water, which excited no particular
observation.
Mr. WEBB HALL read a paper on the economy of heat for
domestic purposes ; and
Nlr. J. SCOTT RUSSELL read a very interesting communica-
tion on the resistance of fluids to vessels. It was formerly
considered that vessels made their way through the water as
the current flowed, but his experiments had proved that it was
not regulated by this cause, nor the shape or construction of
the vessel, but by the depth of the fluid and height and form
of the wave, and also their respective velocities. Vessels, he
considered, might be so constructed as that there should be no
resistance, according to the principles which he had laid down
at former meetings, and he and Sir J. Robinson had constructed
vessels which entered and passed through the water without
disturbing it by a ripple.
Section E. Medical Science. —The Mayor of NEWCASTLF,
President.

The papers read were by Mr. Farr, on the laws of mortality
in cholera ; and Mr. Greenhow, on the beneficial effects of
mercury.
Section C. Geology and Geography.— Professor L YELL,
President.—The first paper read was a communication from
W. Long, Esq., descriptive of a bone cavern, near Cheddar,
in Somersetshire, containing human as well as other animal
bones. The fact of human bones being found imbedded in
any old formation was always worthy of notice from the rarity
of their occurrence, and the interest excited when these were
found in connection with extinct animals. The cave is situated
in limestone rock, and 30 feet in depth. On the first entrance
it has the appearance of lofty chambers, tapering into an arch-
way, which opens again into lofty chambers on the bottom of
which are found human skulls and bones, mixed with those of
boars, deer, oxen, &c., embedded in soil evidently of remote
origin, and containing very few fossils which arc, however,
very abundant in the rocks above.
Professor SEDGWICK remarked that he had not personally
visited the locality, but always looked with suspicion when the
association of human bones with those of other animals of ex-
tinct species was sought to be established. The occurrence of
human bones in caverns might he easily explained, without
being coincident with the rock, and no argument for changing
the present system of geologists, which by all experience had
never found bones belonging to the human species along with
those of extinct species of animals had been adduced.
Professor L Y ELL mentioned that the subject bad been mi-
nutely examined by eminent French geologists, who had found
in a cavern in the south of France human bones associated
with those of extinct rhinoceros and elephants, but they found
the latter to be of living genera, but extinct species. It was
a singular fact that some si,ecies of pottery found along with
these bones, lcd them to examine a tumulus in the neighbour-
hood, where they found pieces of pottery of the same de-
scription, as also bones of the ox, ass, and goat, but none of
the extinct rhinoceros or elephant. The result was that the
circumstance of human bones being found in connection with
those of animals, was no argument of their coevalty, but only
proved that they were of high antiquity, without referring them
to a geological era.
The second paper read was one of considerable local impor-
tance, containing the result of an extensive series of observa-
tions of the Newcastle coal district, by John Buddle, Esq.,
embracing an extent of 900 square miles, the continuation of
which was reserved till to-day.
Section F. Statistics.—Colonel SvKES, President.—The
first wiper read was a communication relative to the Newcastle
police returns, by John Stephens, superintendent of police.
The population of Newcastle is about 60,000 ; but from the
period extending from October 2, 1837, to August, 1838, a
lapse of ten months, the total number of prisoners committed
was 2,169.
Mr. RAWSON remarked on the comparative amount of crime
in Newcastle and the county of Northumberland, in which the
proportion was but as ore in I,lop. He also read the names
.1 th, six cennf... w?,ich w:-.-e the ica.A infe.ted with crime,
and r.lich weir thjsc in which mining is carried on on the
largest scale.
Sir CHARLES LEMON also remarked on this freedom from
crime in the mining districts, Which he referred to the good

rate of wages, and the efforts of Methodism in the improve
ment of the moral character. The large proportion of the
violent crimes had been committed under the infl,ence of
liquor, a fact, however, disputed by Dr. Bowring, who con-
sidered that intemperance was very much on the decrease, as
proved from statistical facts of the state of the revenue reLar.l-
- spirits.
Colonel SYKES read a paper on the statistics of vitality in
Cadiz, furnished from parochial documents, as well as the re-
gisters of public hospitals. The most interesting paper was
an important communication from G. R. Porter, Es q., being
a statistical view of mining industry in France, the details of
which have, however, heen principally communicated to the
Statistical Society of London.
The first public ordinary was held yesterday afternoon in
the Riding School, which was s;.ecially fitted up fir the oc-
casion, the whole of the interior of the building being fitted
up with coloured drapery, ornamented with tablets inscribed
to the most eminent modern philosophers, surrounded with
wreaths of laurels. T, e chair was taken by Professor Wile-
well, one of the Vice-Presidents, who was supported by the
Bishop of Durham, Sir John Herschel, Sir Charles Lemon,
Bart., M. P., and many other leading members. After the
usual loyal toast with that of " Prosperity to the British As-
sociation" had been drunk,

The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Duke of
Northumberland, the president of the Association." He took
that opportunity of noticing two circumstances not previously
known—that the Duke had presented to the University to
which he belonged a telescope equal to any in Europe, with
accompanying apparatus on a similar scale of magnificence.
On the return of Sir John Herschel to this country, after his
long residence in the southern hemisphere, in his generous aid
to science, he had placed 1,0001. at his command, for the re-
duction of his observations. This, Sir John Herschel was not
empowered to appropriate to the purpose, and his Grace had
therefore resolved to apply it in the publication of those im-
portant observations at a cheap rate, so that they might be
generally available.
The toast was responded to with loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of the Vice-
Presidents," from whose attainments much benefit might be
anticipated for the Association.
The Bishop of DURHAM returned thanks for himself and
his colleagues. However inadequate he might feel himself
for his position, when lie saw around him so many men emi-
nently devoted to science, he felt a satisfaction that he was
rendering to them their proper homage. In that capacity
ncthing could be more gratifying than witnessing so many men
eminent in talent and science sitting around him.
The " Hcalths of the Mayor and the Town" were given,
which were heartily responded to, and shortly before eight
o'clock the meeting, which contained upwards of 700 persons,
adjourned to the general meeting at the Central Exchange.
The Central Exchange was filled at an early hour in the
evening, and at eight o'clock there could not have been less
than 3,500 persons present. Some considerable alarm was
excited by the falling of a platform, on which about twenty
persons were standing, but which, happily, caused no injury.
Soon after this hour the Duchess of Northumberland, attended
by Lord Prudhoe, Lord Ravensworth, and a select party, took
their seats inside an enclosure in front of the platform, which,
together with the appearance of the Duke on the platform a
few minutes afterwards, was the signal for loud and long_
continued cheering.

Professor WHEIVELL, on taking the chair, expresses his
satisfaction at presiding at the opening of the eighth meeting
of the Association. These meetings necessarily produced a
great and important result, for they brought together all the
discoveries in science and improvements in art, and the efforts
of theory and practice from all parts of this kingdom and the
Continent. Ile was now about to resign his post into the hands
of that distinguished Nobleman on whom it now devolved.
He had attended all the meetings but one, and had filled al-
most every office in the Association, and had therefore a full
opportunity of watching its spirit, and the effects which it was
likely to produce. The subject of the tides was one which
had early attracted their attention when it was in arrears of
all other branches of knowledge ; but, through the medium
of the Association, experiments and researches had been
made, which were fastly approximating to the universal
theory of gravitation. The same might be said of the undu-
lating theory of light, a subject to which the attention of the
Council had also been directed. Although religious opinions
had no place amongst the assembled persons here he would
appeal to every one v; ho had been in the habit of attending the
meetings whether they did not all bear that tone. On many
occasions like this they had contemplated through the laws of
nature Him whom the laws of nature express, and whose
works are in the universe. They must recollect that these
were not the expressions of words formally arranged, but were
spontaneous and irresistible; they were feelings not uttered by
professors, but by senators, statesmen, and men of the world,
whose train of reflections led them to this solid reasoning.
After a very eloquent speech, he concluded with resigning his
chair to the Duke of Northumberland.

The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, on taking the chair, was
received with the most rapturous applause. He expressed
his satisfaction at being called to preside over so numerous
and intelligent a body, as well as to uphold the dignity
and advance the utility of the Association whilst he was con-
nected with it.

Mr. JOHN TAYLOR next read the Report of the Council. It
stated that the balance in hand at the last Report was 2481.
6s. 6d., and that the receipts at Liverpool were 1,538/. for
compositions, and 1,3501. for annual subscriptions, making,
with arrears since received, the_ sum of 2,491/. There bad
also been received from the dividends on stock 1501 , and the
the sale of books 4221., making a general total of 3,751/. The
expenses were on account of the Liverpool meeting 279/. •
invested in the purchase of 1,0001., Three per Cent. Stock,
910/. ; investigation on tides, 291., and at Bristol, 501 ; ex-
periments to determine the levels of the land and sea, 1201. ;
inquiries on the statistics of education, 50/. ; experiments of
the growth of plants under glass, 75/. ; researches in fos-
sil ichthyology, 100/. ; experiments on cast iron, 501. ;
on Railway constants, 411. ; on an anemometer, 60/. ;
&c. ; leaving a balance in hand of 670/. The pro-
perty of the Association was estimated, as in funded pro-
_

perty, 5,142/. 103. ; in printed reports, 1,000/. ; which, with
the cash balance, gave a total of 6,8121. The tickets already
issued for the meeting had been more than at any previous
time. At the close of the Bristol meeting they were 1,350,
and at Liverpool 1,840; whilst, up to that period, in New-
castle they were 2,059.

Mr. AluactilsoN, the general secretary, concluded the
business of the meeting, by reading an address explanatory of
the progress of the Institution in the various departments of
research to which its attention had been directed.

The ball given by the Mayoress last evening was most nume-
rously attended. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland,
the Marquis of Northampton, with every other member distin-
guished in rank and science being present.

The amusements did not terminate till a late hour.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY,
Ann. 20.—Today being the wakes is generally injurious to
the transaction of business ; but more goods have been sold
than is usual at thi se times. The demand for flannels still
contint es brisk, but prices are but low considering the high
price of wool. There has been no change in the price of flan-
nels or wool to-day, though in the latter article there has been
rather more doing.
THE MODEM—The grouse on the moors in this
neighbourhood are very numerous, but only in poor condition,
which is owing in a great measure to the severe weather in
the spring of the year ; notwithstanding this the birds are ex-
ceedingly strong on the wing. Good shots have been able to
bag considerable numbers. The birds arc also very plentiful
on the southern moors of Scotland, and in a pretty forward
state —Kendal Mercuty.
DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yes-
terday Mr. George Maybank, an elderly man of respectable
connections, made a most determined attempt to deprive him-
self of existence in the following manner. It appears that on
the prev,ous night Mr. Maybank, who for some time past has
occupied apartments at 39, Wilsted-street, Somers Town, re-
tired at the usual hour to rest, when he complained of being
very unwell. Between six and seven in the morning his
landlord, Mr. Williams, entered the bedroom to ascertain how
he was, and on opening the door was horror-struck at behold-
ing the unhappy man sitting in a chair by the-bedside, with a
razor firmly grasped in his right band, and with his left he was
holding a basin, into which the blood, which was flowing from
a wound inflicted by him in the throat, si as running in a
stream. A policeman who was called in obtained the assis-
tance of Mr. Davis, a surgeon, by whom the wound was in-
stantly sewed up, and the sufferer WAS then removed to the
Infirmary, where he lies in a very alarming state. He had for
some weeks been much depressed in spirits, in consequence of
pecuniary embarrassments, coupled with some family dispute,
and so fully did he appear to be bent on self-destruction that
he had made a second attempt to wound himself with the
razor before it was wrested from his hold.

NUMEROUS ROBBERIES.-011MC stlay information
of the following numerous robberies was received at the various
station-houses and police offices :—On Saturday last a young
man named James Jefferys, in the employ of Mr. Hammond,
chemist, New Brantford, absconded, stealing and taking with
him about Si., which he had received for, and on account of,
his employer. He left his master's horses and van at the Rcd
Lion Inn, Uxbridge, on his return from Oxford, where be bad
been sent with soda water. On the same evening, between
eight and nine o'clock, was stolen from the person of Mrs.
Esther Cowen, of No. 3, Ashby-street, Shepherdess-fields,
whilst at the corner of Castle-street, City-road, a red silk net
purse, containing seven sovereigns, nine or ten shillings in
silver, and some other articles, by a lad about fourteen
or fifteen years of age, dressed in dark clothes, and a cap,
who snatched the property out of her hand. Between
nine and ten o'clock the same night a gold neck chain,
with a square eye-glass attached, a gold ring set round
with pearls, and the name of " Anthony Goodere Eyre" en-
graved on the inside, and various cornelisn earrings and
drops, set in gold, and other articles, were stolen from the
Claremont-terrace
Clerkenwell. The felony was efF,•cted by two men wire en-
tered the attic window .ficiu au unoccupied house adjoining.
Between tlire and four :'clock on the following afternoon
the house of Mr. Methy, No. 7, Old Compton-street, Soho,
was robbed of a net purse, containing ten sovereigns and some
silver, a number of silver spoons, gold earrings, gold
brooches, gold rings, some set with turquoise, and other
moneys, from a drawer, supposed by a foreigner who lodged
efg,sm -crto the person
a brown merino purse,
person of Mr. Gillon,
containing a number of sovereigns, guineas, and Spanish pis-
No s
in the house about five days. Between ten and eleven o'clock
on
.20, Monday
ve nightrp
o o was.stLiverpool-street,
es
t, Kin stolen from
toles. The felony was effected in the New-road. And also
between on and :,ever o'clock on Tuesdsy mo,eing the house of
Mr. Jelin Nerd], No. 17, Red Lion-square,
was feloniously
entered and robbed of a quantity of valuable plate, consisting
of cruet stands, table, tea, and mustard spoons, arid a con-
siderable quantity of wearing apparel.
