POLIG'E.

MANSION-lICAISE —Yesterday beltig the dap apl
pointed for the re•evatination of Mrs. Harriet.
Magnes, charged with stealing the infant sort of
Mrs. Dellow, as particnlarly staled lb former Pavers,'
a vast concourse of persons colleEted about the dif-
ferent approaches to the Justice-room, so as to make
it difficult of. access even to the Magistrates. About
twelve o'clock Mrs. Magnes was brought to the bar,
and inforrned by the LORD MAYOR, that there not
being sefficient evidence to support the felonious
part of the charge against her, namely, with tak-
ing the child's clothes with a felonious intent
but it became his duty to detain her- in cus-
tody until she should find bail in 201. to take lye-r
trial the ensuing Sessions for the misdernkinewur.,....irt.
taking away the child. She was accordingly_ re-
manded until such bail should be- entered into. 7.

Many or the mist respeaable inhabitants of
the Tower Ward, :excited by the very freqUent
depredations that have lately occurred in their dis.
tti6t, by noaurnal. plunderers, have adopted the re-
solution of forming 'themselves info a—patrole-, 'to
scour the streets, lanes, and courts.ut the Ward by
nights in order to appehend sulatciousltirkers, add
prevent burglar it's and. robberies: . .
Four men, named itoterts, Price, Piicsily and
Goulding, appiehended by a party of Gentle=
men on Sunday in'orning early, were brought- up-,
Charged with breaking _open the wine cellars of
Mess's. Mazur and, fugal', undo- the- Chapel, at
the bottom of Queen..street, and stealing a quantity

of wine.
The exaiWnation continued nearly an hOtir ; and
the -substance of the testimony against the prisoners
was as follows :—Eight respedable householders of
the Ward, four of whom are Members of the Com-
mon Council, Mr., Lucas, Mr: Robert Smith, Mr.
Drinkwater, and Mr.'Kepling,‘set out last Saturday ,
night on the duty they had undertaken, properly
armed. Four patrolled the division next the Thames,
and the other four, that between Thames-street and
Cheapside. Atter a diligent inspeaion, they met
no persons whom they suspected, until about six in
the mottling, when fourrof the Gentlemen from the,.
rendezvous where they had concealed themselves,
heard several men pass them qtiickly by, Who were
speaking.loudly. They instantly followed them and
watched their progress, until they saw them stop
and knock at the door of a ,hind of eating and
public house, in a lane leading to Thames-street„
which house the Gentlemen suspealed to be a place
of reception for persons of imptoper. charaMer.
door %vb., opened, and the men entered. The foilr
Gentlemen immediately came up, and heating d
bustle m the house of persons going'up and down
stairs, and a noise of bottles breaking in the cellar,
they demanded admittance, and got in. The first
of the prisoners they mist was Roberts, whom they
took in custody : he appeared to feel for semething
about his pockets ; and apprehensive that he felt for
a knife or a pistol, one of the Gentlemen by draw-
ing his hanger, taught him the folly. Of resistance ;
and he was placed under. a gum-cl in the parlour:
The other party of the patrole :now came up, and
they all proceeded to search the .I)Q,USe up.stairs. Iu
b.e.l room on the first floor they 'found done at
first, only some lodge:l4 in the house ; but on quit-
ting the room, they received 'an intitnation that
there was a strange mait'who had lust come into the
room, and who did not lodge these ; and this man
had just jemped into bed where a man and his wile
lay ; and had said to thewife, when the Gentlemen
were entering the room, " For God's sake, say, that
I have slept here all night, or it will cost me my
life." They then went up to
.1 he secoad floor, and,
found two others of the ,prisoners stripped
.and in
bed ; but on examining their elOtheS they fotiiid.
them quite wet, and their shoes all ceVved with
fresh mud, the morning having been. very rainy..
The prisoners at first said they had slept there all
night ; but afterwards acknowledged they hail not
been above an hour or two in bed. Having se-
cured these, they searched the cellars below, and
found a numb-ft- of- bOttles of -wine, some bottles re-

cently broken, and the wine they had cooktined
spilled ; they found also several bladders; some con-
taining wine, a short iron crow, such as is general-
ly used by hoUsebreakers, and a dark lanthern.
UOder the Seat in the parlour, where the first
.pri-
soner they took had sat, they found two empty
bladders ; and in his pocket, a large. clasp knife
with a'bottle screw ; a similar -knife was found on
another of the prisoneis.- .
On examining the seals upon all the bottle corks,
they found them impressed with the name of 11.
Mann and Co. One of the prisoners ran off, but
was pursued and taken after a long 'chase,* and the
whole, were lodged in the. Potiltry, Corupter.
. The patrole then .proceeded to examine the wine- •
cellar of Mann and Co. under the Dissenting Chapel, ,
in Great Queen-street, and foUnd it had been broken
open. They direilly apprised Mr. Mann, who ap-
peared to give evidence ; and stated, that at six
o'clock the preceding evening, the cellar was
ray
tened and secured,by one of I3ramah's patent locks.
observed two susik-ious looking men lurking .
about the place at the time, and bid the patrole keep,
a.sharp look-out. 'On examining_ the cellar, atter
it Was forced open, -he •found 18 wine-bottles,which.
he missed from a particinar•'bin,, with their corks
drawn and emptied of their contents. This bin had
at first contained 145 bottles, of which there re-
mained in it but 127 ;. nod the 1.8
,uncorked bottles
just made up,.the difference. From another bin he,
misseri l 5 bottles ; and on comparing the seals upon
the bottles found in the house where the priSoners
"were taken, the iirtpresion exactly corresponded
wit the seal- be.now produced.
The prisoners denied.ail knowledge of the robbery,
but gave a very lame account of the causes- which
brought them to the house where they were taken.
They were committed for trial,' and are to be
brotight.up again,on Friday,
~to hear the depositions
against them read.

most beneficial effects. They have resolved to have
additional and able watchmen, and several inhabi-

occasionally to walk round the district, to see that
the watchmen are vigilant, and do their duty.
Alreasly -57 housekeepers have subscribed 11. each
to carry the plan into effect, and there is no doubt
but that a very handsome subscription will tae made.
It- is hoped that the neighbouring parishes will fol.

of the dispersion of Castanos's army, which they

Letters were received on Saturday from Oporto
to the Istli nit, which contain nothing new. They
mention; that the allied army remained- in canton-
ments, that Lord WELLINGTON intends d to
visit Lisbon. Some heavy pieces of artillery, which
had been forwarded from Oporto during tile summer,
had been Sent back. General CASTANOS, was at
Freinada_ on the Bth. The sick did not exceed
4-000.
A letter from Jamaica says, that the following
deci,ion has excited a strong sensation in that co-
lony. The .principals of a mercantile house, Who
had advanced large sums of money to a planter, on
the: mortgage of his estate (to the amount, it.is said,
o 1 30;0001. sterling), took the legal measures to ef-
tea payment of their claims. The defendant, in
arrest of judgment, put in a plea that the transac-
tion was usurious, insomuOt as the terms of the

iv.ortgae bound the planter. to send the produce of
FS estate to-the mercantile house for sale, by which
they had their commission on the sales, in addition to
e legal .interest of their loans. The Hon. Go-
ruei-General, admitted the Plea, and declared the
trASaction usurious. The plaintiff was in conse-
rfuence non-mired, and all his advances to the plan-
ter lost ; 'besides his being further rendered liable to
a:prosecction in a criminal cotirt for usury.
Extract 'Of a Letter from Lisbon The 4n_
rolls of hoaxing will not, for a long time, receive a
more splendid eMbt..llislupeht -than in the record of
What pissed here list Monday week. It had been
yet industriously announced, that an English
Officer, for a bet of 500 guineas, was to walk acioss
the Tvg us, at a-place about five miles from Lisbon.
The credulity was so entire, that not a 'doubt arose
upon. the subject. If any one expressed as!onish-
- inent at the boldness of the attempt, or ignorance of
tRe pessibility ofthe deed, he was-rtferied to the
adVenturons character of the English, and shewn,
upon ptinciples, that it was .quite-easy..
The morning c.one.:' the fineness of the day idded.
to' the ottrattion ; Lisbon` was. emptied.. _Btats,
cirtiages; horses, Mules, asses, were all employed.
Parties were expressly formed for the day. The
great were equally infatuated with the smail. The
British Envoy and his suite, Marshal Beresford and
Simi, General Peacock, AdMirat l et kelev, the
Members of tie Regency, in short, the Nobility and
the populace, with a common resolution, were prc-
se it to se.! the wonder. They enjoyed 3 iucsi de-
lightful suspense for many hours; and at last.turn,sd
towards Lisbon, filled with anger, sltame, and re-
sentment. Sc.t. complete a thing, I suppose, Was
never kariwn : th'e quart bottle man could not. boast
half So many illustr7ous dupes."
The equestrian statue of the King; in Berkeley-
square,- has within the last year, been. gradually giv-

been found impossible to sustain it any longer, and
workmen have - been employed to take dots n the
statue. This circumstance, associating itself. with
the actual state of Lour Beloved Sovereign, has be-
come-the
-topic of conversatioo in .the.
