are informed that the 'Slave Trade k restored,
with and under the old arrangements and regula-
tions.

A remarkable instance of recovery from the ef-
fects of cutting the large bloOd'vessels- in the
neck has recently occurred in l'ortsea, on anun--
fortunate person who had made this attempt at
suicide :—The surgeon • instant!), grasped • the
bleeding orifice, to prevent further loss of blood,
and.adopted an operation which alone presented
tile least 'hope of saving life, which Ni7;ts to in-
'terrupt the circulation of blood through these
vessel, by tying thew and the ,mass of substance
surrotinding• them (both above and below:; the
wound), so that- might be made impassable

though the patient. was nearly expiring from the
greoteffusiOn- of blood ; but is , now, ho.wever,
completely re.-stored to case allords

- ATT. ON•GA RD E —Ycsterdayi James George
Semple Leslie, better known by the name of Major
Semple, was brought up in the custody of John
Hutt -iind John Limerii.k, Officers of this Office,
on the following charge :
John Hutt, thesoffver, stated, that on the 3d
of MaY. last, Henry (Irommar, a cheesemonger,
residing in Demaittshirestreel.-„Queen-square, came
to the Office and informed him that a gentlemanly-
looking man canto to his Silo") and bought some
bacon and butter, which. he ordered to be sent to
his lodging, at 42, Gloucester-street, and which
was.sent there accordingly; that he took it from
.the messenger at the door, and sent him
back for sixpenny-worth of eggs ; and on the
return of the messengei, the-Man was gime,
and the people Of the Iniusti said theyknew nothing
of. him ; that no such person lodged there. The
complainant described the person so
.minutely,
that the officer had no doubt on .his mind but that
it was ihe
.prisoner ; in consequence of which in-
formation he was on tl:e look-out for the prisoner
ever since, he being a person well known ; at
lengli'he made out his lodgings in Mary-le-bone,'
and had recourse to a stratagem to apprehend
him. Hatt disguised himself as a countryman,
and went, in company with Limerick, his bro-
ther officer, to the prisoners lodging .yesterday
morning; be left Linierick in waiting, and in-
qiiired for Mr. Lisle, the name he went by; saying
that he was a Mr. Williams, front the 'country,
who wiNII6A to speak to hint ; in consequence of
which lie was called up stairs, and then took the
prisoner into custody on this charge, but he had
sonic other charge against him.
Theodosia Grominar and flenr•.v Grontmar, her
son, having been examined, the prisoner, who
appeared very composed, and was, very genteelly
dressed, addressed the Magistrate in a very forci-
ble manner; he much regretted the Lady of the
honSe 'was not present, and also that he was un-
fort mrate in being taken for some other person
who bore a strong resemblance to him in every
respect, for the truth of which he appealed to one
of the Officers (Read, sen,),, saying, that he was
sworn to by several respectable persons at 'the
Pub Lie• office, in Bow-street, to have committed
an offence, when at the same time lie lay in an
hospital on the Upper Rhine. lie was remanded
till to- morro w
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

.MATILBOROUGII-STREET.-It was ;stated a few
days since, that a man of the name of wnu
Garner had undergone an examination at this of-
fice, charged with robbing a sailor, naweit John'
Leeson, of (301. in notes. The evidence was, that
the prisoner had gone into a public-house with
the sailor, 'tvliere they drank freely, aid on leav-
ing the house-the latter deposited his notes, which
be stated to be 10/. in the hands of the landlord ;
the prisbner stood by at the time the notes were
lying on the counter, whilst the landlord drew
a glass of gin ; and on the sailor calling for his
property, the notes amounted to one hundred
pounds only, and the prisoner was apprehend-
ed. He was admitted on his own bail, to ap-
pear again when called, but he neglected to do
so. Yesterday was the day appointed for the
re-examination, when the case took another turn, a
charge having been instituted against both•Leeson
and Garner for a conspiracy to extort the money
from Mr. Hall, the landlord, said to have Keen
stolen. In support of this, Mr. Hall stated, it
was next to impossible, the notes, if stolen, could
have been taken away without the knowledge of
the sailor, and instead of the parties being
strangers, as represented, hey were intimate, and
lived near cacti other,; and, lastly, that the sailor,
according to his own written docuMents, was in
possesSion of no such property said
,to have peen
placed in Mr. Hall's hands, event when he left
Sheerness. The Magistrate held Leeson to hail
on his own sureties to appear on a future day,
and he directed a warrant to be issued for the ap-
prehension of Garner.
