The measure 'of arrests has, been recently re-
sorted to• again ; even women are not exempted
from it. Two'of them were lately conveyed to the
Magdelonettes, where .they are kept close. They
were arrested at four o'clock in the Morning,' in
their own- houses,. by Gens d'Armes, while a car-
riage waited for them at the door.- In the ietto,-
written by' the Emperor, to the Senate, some people:
have discovered the dreaded measure of - a new
conscription for this year. Hence a general -alarm
prevails in every family.

ceived that a prodigious waste of blood will take
place before an end is put to the war.
The Exchange is daily visited by particular agerts,
some to keep up the Public Funds, and others, with
an air of timidity, to depress them, and by these
Means'not only to discover the private opinion, but
also that which at' length pis the better.

SURREY ASSIZES.

KISGSToN, MARCH 18

The Honourable Chief Baron Nl'DoxAtn and
Mr. Justice HEATH came into town this day from
,on ;lihi ;•le mtt by James NEwsomE, E.
the Sheriff, at the edge of the town, and escorted by
the Posse C(' mnitams in the usual form.--The Assize
.Sermon having been preached, the Courts were
opened,, and the Grand Jury sworn, who having re-
ceived an excellent and temperate charge from the
Lord Chief }3 ion, who lamented that the .Calendar,
small in number of prisoners as it was (49), should
be stained with so. many grosS aociatrodous offences,.
retired, to consider the Bills laid before them.

THURSDAY, MARCH lg.

IP. Smith, alias Holmes, was capitally indi&ed for

stealing privily from the person of John Horatio
Savicrny, a gold watch, chain, and seals, on the ithth
of August. The Prosecutor stated, that be was' at
Vauxhall Gardens on the night of the 12th of Au-
gust last, arr: whist pressed by an immense crowd,
the Prisoner at the Bar contrived to pick his pocket
of his watch.. Witness felt the.warch go from him ;
he seized the Prisoner, and *teaed him with the
property in his possession ; aftor which. he resigned
him to the custody of Rivett and Lloyd, Officers of
the Police. In consequence of the prosecutor hav-
ing felt the watch go from him, the capital part of
the chargé was done away,...and the Prisoner was
found guilty of stealing.
. The Prisoner was arraigned at thF_bar on another
indi&ment, charging him with stealiiigprivily; from
the person of George Powel, a Old watch and its 4)."
'pendages, on the 12th of August last. The -Prose,
tutor stated, that he lost his watch on the night of
thq 12th of August, which he believe& had been'
stolen from his pocket, but he did not know the Pri-
soner, nor had he, to his belief, ever seen him until
lie was in the custody of Rivett and his brother
Officer. Witness did not feel his watch taken from
hini, but half an hour previous to his seeing it in the.
possession of the Officers, he had pulled it from his
fob to ascertain the time.

Rivett, the Officer, on being interrogated, said, he
knew the Prisoner some years since, and proved hav-
ing taken him into custody, at Vauxhall-Gardens, on
the 12th of Aucm§t. The Prisoner was searched by
this witness and Lloyd, the other Officer, but he re-
sisted their efforts as much as possible. After hav-
ing nearly torn the small-cloatht off the Prisoner to
ribbons, the watch belonging to Mr. Powel was
found secreted in them. The case being proved to
its full, extent, the Prisoner was found Guilty.—
Death.

James Tomlinson was indieted for' feloniously be-
ing at large before the expiration of his sentence at
a former Sessions at the Old Bailey, having been
oonviffed of felony, and sentenced to seven years
transportation.
The record of the former conviaion of the Pri-
soner was produced in Court, and his person was
identified by others, as well. as the Officer who' ap.
prehended him on the 16th of February. Guilty—
Death.
Martin Booker was indiEted for wilful and corrupt
perjury, in falsely-swearing before a Magistrate at.
Guildford, by which a Gamekeeper was fined 101.
It appeared in evidence, that in consequence of a
grudge which the Prisoner owed a gamekeeper in the
service of T. Page, Esq. in the neighbourhood of
Guildford, he laid an information against him, charg-
ing him with having killed a partridge in a manor
bel .nging to another Gentleman, On the ao.th of
06tober. The information was taken before Mr.
Stnallp'ece, one of the Magistrates for the County,
when the Prisoner swore_ positively to the fad of the
gamekeeper having killed the bird in his presence,
and consequently the gamekeeper was fined for the
offence. Evidence was adduced before the same
Magistrate subsequent to the conviaion, which went
to prove that the gamekeeper was tint from his.own
-house on the day stated. The same evidence. wab
.adduced in Court, and the Jury beibg satisfied, found
the prisoner guilty.---He was sentenced to be trans-
ported for seven years.
Rutert Side was con v i 610 of stealing two pieces
coiton, the property- of Mr. Aiken Parker, calico
printer, at Wandsworth. The otilmce, by a statute
which proteelS property in, such cases, subjeEts the
offender to yansportationfor fourteen year,s;
A true Bill was found yesterday against the Gar,.
dener, for'the murder of Mt .Chivers, hiSntitster.
The Bills were not preferred against the other per,
sons on the charge of murder, whLM our ExpreSs
left Kingston at fbur o'clock. The trials of the al-
leds,,ed murderers will tale place this day (Friday),
the particulars of which we shall gi-ve tu-morrpw.

On. Tuesday eveninc! a daring attempt bras made
in Long-larie, Suithfi'eld,lty a gang of depredators,
to rob one of the boys belonging to the 'Twopenny
Post of his letters. One•of- the. villains seized the
boy's whip, and ran up a court with it ; .where.he
was followed by the boy, who received several se-
vera blowii over the head from the three fellows,
who, at the same time, laid hold of the portman-
teau ; but in consequence of the boy's crying mur-
der, passengers ran up the court, and the depredators
made,their escape. They have since been described
to the Officers of Hatton Garden, •who are on the
search after them ; they are known to be reputed
thieves.

' In Liverpool work-house there is now a pauper,
who was on -board one of His Majesty's Ships dur-
ing the landing of the troops h Quiberun Bay. Be-
fore this event7he was remarkable for a tine head of
hair, and strong beard ; but, what is wonderful to
relate, before the at was over, the hair on his
head and body, not excepting that on his face, eye-
brows, ant eye-lashes, completely fill off, and has
not since re-appeared. This man, though not want-
ing of courage, admits that he was under a strong
degree of fear immediately before the engagement
took place ; but, like other:English tars, had no other
thought on his mind, While working-his gun, than
-how in the best manner he-could contribute,. by his
personal valour, to the drubbing of the enemy. Some
of our Readers, perhaps, will furnish us with She
probable cause of a fast so extraordinary; many are
the instances we have heard of the phySieal erfetts-
al fear upon the body, but this, the authenticity of
which we can vouch for, excels all.
