mitted or .further examination, on a charge of
uttering a forgeallnikof England Note to a con-
siderable aatcrunt, the partieniarq of which it
would be improper to make- public atpresent.
. lim:oN-Triir.l---Jag. Brodie, Robert Brodie, and
James Brodie, the latter eleven years of age, were,on Saturday,
.apprehended by Goff, and Clark, on
suspicion of having been- concerned in breaking
into the dwelling-house of ---- Hudson, Esq.
near Ryecrate, • and stealing- a- large quantity of
plate, all of which .was fonntlin their possession.
On searching them-, the officers also found,sevcral
picklock-keys.. The prisoners refused to tell their
names„ nor were the officers- able to obtain this
information, tillthe boy:. (who appears to be very
expert in the art of housebreaking) was sep-arated
from them. Hethen, On being,. closely interro-
gated, told the names of his father and-uncle, and
that they ,occupied a stable- in a yatd in, Oxford
..street. There the officer's itnmediately went, and '.
on searching The, stable,' found a number of pick- '.
lock keys,- centre bits, iron crows, dark-lauthorns,
and other implements of house-breaking: They
then went tQa. house near St. James's Church, of
Which the boy had also given them information,
where, in the course of their search, they found.a
bundle of skeleton keys, a large quantity of trin-
kets, _some curious. French and Dresden lace, and
several. other" valuable articles, 'of of which the pH-
goners could give no .aceolmt. There is some rea-
son to suspect that theseTersons Were concerned
in the robbery of StfPauPsCathedral, some time
since. They were committed for re7exornination
On Thursday 'next.

ATTEMPTS AT ASSASSINATION.--We have the
painful task of recording two 'premeditated at-
tempts at assassination, One. of which took place
on Vridaynight; At a Gentleman's- houSe at Hani,
near . Richmond; anld the other at the village of
Appleton, ,near Narrow, on Saturday morning.
The following are the particulars of the latter
case, froM depositions taken at the Marlborough-
street PoliCe-Office, on •Saturda.y•eyening :----Mr.
BurroWs, -hay4alesman, residing at Appleton,
was suddenly attacked in his chaise, near his re-
sidence, by Bowler, a,neighbouring farmer,
who discharged a blunderbuss at him, and lodged,
the contents. (slugs) in his neck... And body. The
following testimony of a blacksmith, at Appletdn,
give the whole case. • The' assassin, who is a man
70 years of age, called at the smith's shop, on
horseback, at five o'clock on Saturday morning.,
accompanied by his grandson, and produced a.
blunderbuss, the lock of which) he asked leave to
.make sure to go off, as he we.4'ed to shoot a mad
dog. ,After he had done something to the lock, he
left the piece in the, shop, having described it as
being ,loaded, and walked -by the side of the
canal, whilst his grandson led his horse about the
road. The canal path commands a view of
BurroWs's residence`; and after walking there
nearly two hours; he returned to,the cmitli's shoji,
when Burrows was approaching it ; and having
taken up the' blunderbuss, he met him, and pre-
sented it, when Burrows called out, " For. God's
sakey don't shoot me," and inclined his head
upon' his legs. The assassin, .however, pulled
the trigger; and..l.lr. Burrows fell, when the for-
mer mounted,his horse, rode off, and was not se-
etired yesterday. - The situation of the wounded
man is very precarious. Four slugs have been ex-
tratted front his neck aid head; .but•there' are
others in the body, one of whicli is supposed to
have lodged in the shoulder.. Some hopes are en-
tertained that his.life will. be saved. - Mr. Wood, a
coal-merchant, • pursued the, assassin as far as
Bushey Heath; near 'Watford, and Pollee Officers
'have scoured the country., The' cause of the. dia-
bolical act is said to have arisen froM some family
jealousies.. The parties had a 'litigation about a
month since, when high -Wards al•oe; but they
since—bees apparently gOOd friends.. The
woltaded man was Perfectly sensible and composed
at two o'clock,yesterdayafternoon.
In the case bf ..the other atteMpt at murder, at
Hain, 'of-whichjealousy appears- to have been'the
cause, the assassin iS in custody; and was examin-
ed at Kingston:on 'Saturday. - He was a footman
in a- Gentleman's' family. at Hani, and the object
of. his ..rancour was the Lady's maid.in the same
family. - friends from London?ealle&onlier
on Friday, and she:.accoMpanied.them to Ham
fair, where she is said to have taken the. arin of
one of the company... Themssassin-had previously
given her to understand he would shOot her if she
took the arm of any man andon'her entering. the .
house, he 'verified the threat, by discharging a
.pistol at her, loaded with slugs. The young wo-,
Man received- the_ charge chiefly in' her arm, but ,
her head and sidehave also sustained injury. 'She
is expected to Survive.. The assassin is, lodged in
Kingston Gaol.
