POLICE:

Wonsurr-s7 am—On Saturday two men of the
names of Harris and Toomks, Were examined on
charge of robbing the warehonse of Mr: Whitwell,
of Bethnal-green-road, soda 4nd pearlash manufac-
turer. The ptkoners were stopped by Kennedy,
and o: hers of the pat role,. belonging to the above
office, at Bethnal-green, carrying • two large sacks,
which, upon examination, were found to contain
upwards of a hundred weight. of soda and pLarlash.
—The officers suspecting front whence it had been
stolen, immediately sent for' Mr.' Wbitwell„ who
identified the property. I\lr. W. said -the Prisoners
were 110 t in has employ, but he was afraid they were
connected with some of his, servants, for within a
very short period he had been robbed of the above
articles to the. amount of 5001. but bad hitherto
been unable. to' find out the thief, The prisonors
conk) give no other account than that they saw the,
sacks lying under a wall, and as no person waS near
them, they did not know that it would be any of-
fence to take them up. When the patrole appre,
hended them, they .said that they did not know
What the sacks contained, and that they had not
.had them five minutes; but on being searched, a
qpnntity of *ode mai found in their pockets. They
wee commited tor trial.
Surrosint Mutt DE at; .—Abitut a month since, a
sailor, of the name of Jatnit Page,, was sent from on

confessed, that about eight years ago, be, in company
With another man, robbed'and murdered a man, t rew
the body into a ditch, and covered it over with earth
anti grass. lie assigned as a reason for his confession,
that he was. miserable' in hisinind in consequence
of his having committed murder, He was detained
in custody, and Antony was sent to make inquiries a
few miles on the Buckinghamshire road', leading
from Oxfbrd-street, u here he said he committed the
murder, but not tile least information could he gain
respeeting'snett a circumstance having taken place.
Anthony persevered in therinquiries on all time roads
leadiiig from Oxford-street, lest the prisoner should
be mistaken in his description of the place, but none
Could be gained. The prisoner persevered, in bis.
confession, Anthony took him in a coach for hint
to point out the spot ; when be pointed out more
places than one, and was so indeeisive in all he said
that Antliony.wassitisfied his tale was manufaaured
to ausWer some purpose. A good de arof the man's
'history has, since been traced, and it has 'been ascer-
tained, that about 12 years since he fell from a hay-
rick, and pitched on hii head, the effeet of which,

'the west and south sides of DewnhaM liaVe the
appearance of leas, there being about five feet water -
on hundreds of acres of land, whereon • from .
_teen to twenty cootnbs an acre of oats were.grown
last'Season. The gulls on the new Bedford Bank
are not yet taken, and it is feared the farmers will -
not be able to get the landi ready for cropping by
the approaching seasem, however favourable the spring
may prove.
The water in the Hundred Feet 'Washes WAS
higher than ever • was knewti, tieing six feet six
inches deep, on . Mepal Causeway. There are also
two breaches into Burnt Fen, one out of Brandon •
River, the other out of • Mildenhall River; one into
Lakenheeth Fen, and one into \Vereham Fen. '
About 500 sacks were filled with earth, and laid•
on the banks of the Old Bedford River, on Friday
. and Saturday se'nnight, at various places where the
waters were then flowing over. This proved'etfec-
tual in saving that part of the country front a general
deluge. •
It is estimated that the inundation has extended
more than 'fifteen miles in length, and- that above
150,000 acres of land are completely flooded.,
The injury to individuals is almost incalculable,
the quantity of stock inept •on these fen's is far
greater than on the •uplands ; 'Withers of sheep•
have been lost, -and the difficulty of finding food
for those preserved is such, that many persons have
been compelled to sell them at a certain loss, par-.
titularly as it is so near yearling tune: Should the
water not he drained off before seed time, the loss to
the occupiers. throughout the several distrias of. the
lens, will be little short of a million of money.
Many persons removed their stacks of oats from the
lands on to the embankment, but their labours proved
inetfeaual, as the high wind of. Sunday se'nnight
completely dispersed them.
Mr. Little, an opulent farmer of `Vetch's dam,
fortunately saved 700 sheep,, by driving them out of
the fen to uplands, nut above an: hour before the
bank gulled. •
The coaches from London to Lynn, through
Downham and Ely, have not travelled since Thurs-.
day 'seinnight, but were expeaed down again on the
7th inst. as a great number of men were employed
on Littleport Bank, in order to render. it passable,
who worked all Sunday last.

The oldest person liVing does not remember the
rivers Eden; Caldew„ and Peteril,, to have attained
a greater height, or occasioned 'more extensive and
serious mischief, than they have done this week.,—
During the greater part of: the week, the rain has
continued to fall ; in consequence, whereof, the rivers
above-mentioned (which :were already above their
levels, owing to preViOus rains), overflowed their
banks, and inundated a vast expanse of country,
presenting to the eye the appearance of one vast lake,
or rather sea, beautifully spotted with little islets..
The damage experienced is immense. Sluices,
bridges, trees, fences, immense quantities of soil,
&c. were, carried away by the impetuosity Of the
torrent.
The bay at Netheroy has been entirely destroyed.
Artnatht,vaite Bay has also been demolished. But
the most serious injury sustained in the neighb,our;-
hood .is at 'the bleaching premises in Denton Holm,
. belonging to Mr. Hobson Clarke. About 200 yards
of the embankment which served to prevent the en-
croachment' of the Caldew Upon the Holm, were
carried away by the itOpetuosity of the current.
The water, tto longer restrained, instantly formed a
new channel, and, rushing with irresistible 'violence
against the premises, carried away or destroyed the
sluices, and several pieces of machinery. One of
the water wheels was lodged on the opposite side of
the river, a few yards below, and it is espOed will
be recovered. The drying-house has sustained con-
siderable datnage-;•-one tit the aniles, several yards
it) height, and upwards of one yard itt breadth, was
on Wednesday last brought down by the strength of
the torrent.
Some of the workmen had a narrow escape, hav-
ing removed from the place but a tew seconds before
the ruins tell. . On the same day, as some women
were abort to, be conveyed in a cart out of the dwel-

Monday evening an old house in Valentine-row,
"Black fr*.ars-road, which Was used as a workshop, was
blown duwn. A man who was at work had his leg
much hurt, and his tliwub dislocated by the falling
in of the roof ; and a dog onn-the premises was killed
on the spot. The treilueney of these accidents seems
to indicate the necessity of a • proper' surveyor being
:appointed to each disiria, Whose orders should be'
peremptory, in either pulling down houses in dan-
ger of falling, or else prwerly supporting or repair-
ing them, so • 119 :0 ptevent the possibility of lives

COURT OF 'KINC;'s lIENCH,Fta. 7.
ADULTERY.

'l5lANNER'S'it•th ANOTHER V. LORD ELGIN)
• T 1 A __TTORNEY-GENERAL moved. to put off the
aboVe trial, which had been set down for the Sittings
after Terin. The Learned Counsel said it was
adibn brought by the Trustees of Lady, Elgin, to
enforce the obligation of an ,heritable bond, given
by Lord Elgin at the time of his marriage, securing
a settlement upon her Ladyship. These obligations
his Lordship. had now refused to comply with, al=,
'edging that her Ladyship's adultery with Mr. Fer-
gus-ton had cancelled the bond. • The Court would
therefore see, that it Would be necessary for the
Defendant to give evidence proof of his wife's
adultery, and in doing ;that, he would be compelle4
fo.bring up witness ts from • Scotland; so ,that :t
would be attended with great inconvenience, if he
was obliged to go to trial et the ensuing Sittings.
The Court acquiesced in the motion, and the trial
will stand over fill the next Term.
ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. ..- •
An argUnient, as curious as it is interesting, is
depending, respeEting the marriage of
children. The case before the Court upon this 50"
feet is as folloA s :—A Gentleman dying,. left his na-
tural daughter a very considerable estate. At that
period slte was living under the guardianship of her
mother, mid before she attained the age of.l, 6"
was married with her mother's consent. The guts'
Lion beforeAlte Court is whether the. issue at that
marriage ran inherit the estate left by the graudia-
titer ? The, legitimate issue of the grandfather saY
they cannot, and.seek to recover if back. The argo-
ment in support of that position is, that natural
dren, in contemplation of law, have do lather oor
mother, and consequently the marriage above alluded
to, by the provisions of the Marriage Mt, ls
and void, as the mother could not make the marri4i
binding by her consent ; and the natural daugh-
I- ter being in that case married without the
sent of a legal parent, and she being .a
trait' r
at the time, the issue of that marriage are
he
tardiZed, and the estate must revert back to tt
legitimate issue of the grandfather. .The reply
that the mother of a natural daughter is a parent for
the purpose of assenting or dissenting to her ina.r-
riage when a minor; but if she is not a parent with"}
the meaning of the ma, then are the issue no
dren within the meaning of the Ald, and the suit
must fail. If the Mt recognised none but le,
al'
parents, then could it recognise none but legitimate
;children; so that, whichever way the argument
shaped itself, the issue of the marriage could not bd,
deprived of the estate in qdestion.
• The Court took time to consider of tiler judg,-
ment. •
