Al ATTON•G A RDEN.---1 esterday John Limbrick
the officer, assisted by some constables, followed by a great
number of persons, brought the five. under-mentioned prisoners
before the Magistrates, under the following charge, viz. Samuel
Coombs' Thema: Wallace, Richard Smith, Wm. Lark, and John
Foyer. Limbrick stated to the Magistrates, that he was sent for
about a quarter of an hour before to prevent the prisoners from
h anging a man, named Thomas Norman, foreman to Mr. Foster,
a bricklayer, living in Charter House-lane. Norman hid hired
the prisoners as labourers in sinking and re-making a new
sewer on Little SiifFron.hill ; they, not having receiving their
wages on Saturday night last, were led to believe that Nor-
man must have converted the money he received from his
employer to his own use; and under this impression the pri-
soners, and others of their party not in custody, held a council,
end agreed to be revenged on Normam. They procured *rope,
with which they attempted to hang hint from one of the timbers
that was placed across the sewer, by putting the rope round hi:
neck when he was at the bottom of the sewer, and then pulling
hint up, tying the rope to the beam. Afterwards they were to
shovel down the earth on him and bury him. Limbrick arrived
just in time to prevent them putting their purpose into execu-
tion, and succeeded in securing the five prisoners. Thos. Norturn
was called to state his charge. The complainant was in a
miserable plight • every .stitch of his clothes hung in rags from
his person, besides his body being covered with bruises. Ile
confirmed Limbriek's stattment, aed added, that the cause of
the pristine* not being paid any money last Saturday wet+ that
the work was a contract Job, and no money was to be paid till it
was finished ; that the prisoners, Coombs, Wallace, and Smith,
:were particuarly active in endeavouring to hang hint, but he
could not speak to the prisoners Lark or Fov. for he was its
confused he could not take notice of them. Whilst comply it.
ant was below in the sewer, which was very deep, a man of
the name of Allen, who made his escape, endeavoured' to
put a rope round his neck, the other end of which Coombs,
who stood on the brink of the sewer, heist in his hand,
whilst Wallace and Smith stood by him to assist in pulling hint
up, in order to hang him front one of' the crossbeams ; after
which they swore they would shovel down the earth on him, aid
bury him. In the struggle to save himself, they tore every st:teli
ofclothes from off his body, and he received all the bruises then
visible, from being pushed and knocked abou t against the bricks
and timbers. Timothy Callaghan, one of the labourer,,, confirmed
the complainant's evidence. He saw the prisoner Coombs have
hold of the rope, and throw the other end down to Allen, to put
round the complainant's neck, in order to hang him ; he strove
to prevent Coombs putting his threat into execution,. and
Coombs struck him. IVallnee and Smith stood by t, assist,
but he did not see that Lark or Fey were present. Allen and
Coombs appeared the two most, determined.--bark and Poy
were both discharged; and Coombs, Wallace, end Sinith,.were
committed to Clerkenwell prison in default of bail--Coombs
on two charger; one for assaulting and beating the witness
Callaghan.

QUEEN's-SQUAitr,---Tiits morning information
was given of a daring and extensive burglary that was corn-,
raided at the house of Mr. Thornton, jt weller, Dean.street,
Soho-Square, on BVednesday night. The fatuity were frclll 'home at the time, and the robbers must have entered at the
parlour-window, and broken open the workshop, where the
valuables were chiefly deposited. The villains took a coach from off the stand near the house, into which they placed tc
glass-case containing jewellery, and desired the coachman to
drive to Rishopseetne.etreet; but in Soho-square they relied up,.
and nil got out, saying, they were p;oing ton /louse close by,
and would return presently : the coachman waited three hours,
but they did not return; and in the coach he tOund the glass-
case emptied of its valuable contents.--Tho loss of ilfr. T. is
estimated at 509/.

Was immediately enveloped in flames. The screams of herself

her in his arms, to smother the flames, and tore her clothe* off;
but notwithstanding every thing was done to assist in such a junc-

fully burnt, that th;.3 skin was entirely off and quite bl wk. She
lingered till yesterday morning, when she died. A few mintr es
before her deuth she was asked by her sorrowful parents " if

11UltANITY.--411 the dreadful hurricane of
Friday se'nnight, at two o'clock in the aft moon, the brig
Due/tees of Cuinterlantl, of Newcastle, coal-laden, with it cr..w
of nine men, ran on shore upon Vie out-bank, near Cromer
light. The boat was directly lowered, into which t captain and
one man jumped, but were instantly overwhelmed by a wAve
which upset it ; they were afterwards seen clinging to pieces of
the wreck, but soon disappeared. Ropes were thrown from two
mortars, which were brought to the spot with the utmost promp-
titutle, but the vessel being nearly a quartet of a mile from the
shore, not one shot reached her. The life-boat was then manned
with a picked crew of aixteen men, who made every exertion
to reach the vessel; but such was the fury of the etornt that they
were not aLle to get more than a few yards from the short.
—No hope now remained of saving the crew, who took to that
dimwits, ter the waves had by this time swelled to inountaitts:
and swept every thing oil thc deck ; here they remained neatly
an hour, waving their hats and calling for assistance; hitt
human Wort was unavailing. The speetators on the irtaeli
had been waiting the event with dreadful anxiety ; and about
four 'o'clock the vessel begun to break up, and,• the shritls
of the poor men were truly distrenesing and appallihg.; soon after
the mainmast fell overboard, and they were buri>9l in the
waves. It is impossible to describe the sensations oAthose or,
the beach during this awful suspense ; but soon after it was nn-
flounced from the cliff, that two men were struggling with the
waves, amid the floating wreck ; in a little time they neared
the shore, and were cheered and encouraged by the spec'.
tators; they, were nearly exlmusted, being every instant incr.
whelmed by the waves, and by pieces of the wreck; some intre-
pid young men then plunged into the water and brought them
on shore ; one of them WAS quite insensible, but by proper at-
tendon soon recovered. The greatest praise is du to Joseph
Curcila a blacksmith, for his exertions in saving tie men.—

Otfre. r the mantle piece of one of the parleuo
at Mount Vernon is a, small ihmed miniature of WASIff-
INCITON, which was cut out of a piece of common earthen
ware. It is a singular fact this te regarded by the family
as the most accurate likeness that vitiate. The general CO-
tour of his face is well ascertained, and there ja 4 mono;
similarity in most of the 'portraits; yet those who knew him
best agree that there was a certain expression in his mute-
trance, which is quite wanting even in Smartie painting ; and
in the engravin which was executed from it. This very wed-
narY kind of daub, which W4B broken out of a eaTata Uri
pitcher, and probably executed by same potter's apprentice, is
said to possess more of this intellectual characteristic than any
of the other portraits.—(Glasettne Chroniek.)
