POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET--(Tnrs DA.v.)
STREET ROBBERY. John Hayman, better
known as the flapper, a notorious character, was
brought up, by Addy, an officer, on a charge of
street robbery. It appeared from the evidence
adduced, that as a gentleman, named Sadd, was
passing along. James.street, Covent-garden, this -
morning, in companrwith a lady andgentleman,
he was followed by the prisoner and another
person, when suddenly his handkerchief was
taken from his pocket,and as the gentleman thinks
in a moment was conveyed by the prisoner to his
companion who instantly decamped. The pri.
soner however was secured. The worthy Ma.
gistrate,said, as the actual stealing from the per-
'son was Mot proved, a doubt would remain upon.
conviction, and committed him for the misde.
meanour, and also as a reputed thief.

ceal;ltiee'r h°l uponiur . who, by, the following statement, appeared to be the principal
in the transaction, but the officer did not succeed in apprehend-
ing her. .
Mrs. Haynes, a female of extraordinary personal attractions,
and very genteel manner, stated, that she had resided for sama time past at-Ns. 7, Southampton-terrace, and that Mr. Baths.
way has hut lately come to reside in that neighbourhood, add
on his coin alo, solicited her custom, a Welt he ever sines
enjoyed. SO ''' months ago A. gentleman whom she under-
stood. to be-a great respectability, succeeded in winning her
affections, and became a favoured visitor at her house, but
14.
whether he was a married or a single man she newer knew
or took the trouble to inquire. On Saturday last, as she and her
friend were sitting in her parlour, between eight anti nine o'clock,
taking their wine after dinner, a knock came to the street door,
and it was no sooner opened than a lady entered, and first tak..-
ing the precaution to lock the Street door inside, and put 'the •;',
key in her pocket, she rushed into the parlour, and commenced„
smashing every article of furniture—tables, chairs, looking.
glasses, decanters, &c. at the same time exclaiming that before ''
she f topped she would have witness's life,,and that of her own
husband also, who, Mrs. Haynes now, for the first time, learned
had be..a for' so many months her companion. The lady '
announced her name to be White, and consequeutly tl-2e
the gentleman must be Mr. White. The husband, as soon as
he could recover from his surprise (if any thing could stir....
• prise him), laid hold on the wife and floored her. llirs. IVltite. ' '
called " M urder !"—a mob of about 100 persons collected • -
about the house, burst open the doors and windows, entered the • -:
house, and on hearing front Mrs. White her statement of erns-
vances, joined with her, and proceeding over the whole !toffee. '
smashed every article in it, broke a valuable pinao-forte and a
beautiful guitar to pieces, carried away almost all her wearing •
apparel, stole her reticule and some sovereigns in it, and no.
doubt would, as they expressed a determination to do, have '
torn Mrs. !Jaynes herself to pieces, had she not with great tilt.
ticulty clambered over an adjoining wall and taken shelter in
a neighbour's house, and Mr. White escaped from their fury '
in an equally miraculous way, with almost every stitch of
clothes torn from his back.
The charge against Mr. Hathaway was, that he was tht ring.
leader of this outrageous attack upon the louse, and vowed die '
destruction of Mrs. Haynes herself.
Mr. Hathaway listened very coolly to this recital, and, when
called upon for his defence, said, that of Mr. White,Mrs. White
or Mrs. llaynes, he knew nothing more than that he had served
the house, No. 7, for a short time with meat. On Saturday •
evening last, as be was standing at his own door,which was with.
in three of Mrs. Ilaynes',_he heard desperate cries of murder '
from No. 7, which attracted a vast crowd of persons, who insisted '
upon being admitted ;and being at first refused, they fbreed one
of the shutters of the parlour-window, and saw a man, with a
woman under him., his knee upon her stomach, and endeavour.
ing to strangle her, The • mob was then about to force the
door, when somebody inside, opened it, and the crowd rushed
in ; andon the instant the man from within made his escape
through the crowd, after 'a desperate struggle, Mr. Hathaway,
who was one of the very last,' he said, that entered the house,
went to the assistance ,of the woman in the parlour, whom he
did not succeed in recovering Mr a long time ; and she then re-
lated to the people how this Mrs. Haynes had been kept by her •
husband, and living splendidly on the produce of her industry;
and that every article tn. the house, and ;lie house itself, were
purchased with her money. Upon this appeal, the mob' did
certainly join Mrs. White, and he believed the house was
pretty well cleared •out ; but as fcir himself, Mr. Ilathawuy de.
dared that he did nothing more than assist Mrs. White to re.
cover from her half strangulation.
Several persons, neighbours, who entered the house at the •
same time, confirmed the statement of Mr. Hathaway.
Mr. Ran:, the Magistrate, said, that, under all the circura.
stances, he did not consider Mr. Hathaway liable to be held to
bail, and discharged the warrant.
' With respect to Mrs. White, Wales, the officer, said that
he had been three times to her house to apprehend her, but
could not find her. She keeps a brothel, No. Ild, Lisle-street,
Leicester-square ; and her husband, who has caused all this
uproar and contention, is the notorious fluflby White.—So
much for ladies quarrelling aboutgenikmen!
HATTON-GAIMEN.—INTERNUPTION TO THE AMOSE•
MENTSOF BARTMOLOMEW FAlR—Jr:mei Good beard (whose
chin was no disgrace to his name) was brought by John
Ault, watch-honse.keeper on the Foundling Estate, charg-
Ise' with a premature display of hits talents, last night,
iu the neighbourhood of Brunswick-square. Several watch.
men deposed that at a late hour lust night, the de-
Pendant took by surprise the inhabitants (who were not
prepared for the appearance of " Richard") and in it tine
tone of voice, delicately attenuated by those experienced
modulators, Hodges' aud Go., yoederated, " I know I was-
drunk, but Richard's himself again." Though he'delivered this
expression with great emphasis and truth, the inhabitants were.
the more alarmed at hearing that he was recovering his origi-
nal character, and accordingly besought the watchmen to give
their aid in keeping him in his disguised state. Their etiOrts
were, however, totally unavailing for mare than three quar-
tets of an hour; they however triumphed ultimately, but not
without receiving many still preserved marks of his powers.—
The prisoner, who rather novelly represented the crook-backed
tyrant, as he was nearly seven feet high, and of athletic appear.
ance, stated in his defence that he was a fishmonger by trade.
that was no interference to his profession:of a play-actor ; he
was engaged to exhibit this day at Bartholomew fair, anti he
was just preparing a few recantations according to his agreement. ,
The Magistrate showed so little respect and encouragement
for his thematic talents, that he discharged the prisoner, ad.:
vising him to depend entirely oa nature, and as he was seven
feet high exhibit himself as a giant.

waste house beltinging to Mr. M' Bride, inn.

DIRITISII AIMS.]
Our neighbours, the Dutch, seem to have
taught the prevalent mania for joint stock, or,
as they term then►, anonymous societies. We
have just seen a very lengthy, ill-written, and
worse translated, prospectus, comprehended in
six chapters, and 109 articles, for a joint stock
company, for the improvement of the trade, na-
vigation, agriculture, ship-building, and manufac-
tures of the Netherlands. This project has re-
ceived the sanction of his Netherlandic Majesty.
The chief object which the projectors seem to
have in view is, to regain that share of the East
India and China trade, which they have con.
fessedly lost ; but we suspect that their com-
mercial powers were too long under the fos-
tering charge of Buouaparte, to be so easily
awakened into life as they seem to expect. The
proposed capital of this company is to be thirty-
seven millions of Netherland florins, on which
they are to be secured an interest of 4j per cent.
%Ve may soon expect to hear of this plan upon
our own Exchange, but we would recommend our
readers to pause before they risk their money on
such a speculation, as it will require something
more than a decree of the King of the Netherlands
to restore to his subjects a trade which has so
bog been secured by the British and North
American merchants. This project may, hi some
degree, account for the breach of faith and
diplomatic quibbling which we observed some
time since had taken place, on the part of the
Dutch Minister, with regard to Batavia.

By the arrival of a gentleman of great respect-
ability and intelligence from Egypt, we learn that
the Pacha has delared that he will this year raise
fifty thousand bales of cotton. Whether he can
accomplish this or riot, it at least sheens that Ire
has every inclination to effect that purpose, and
there can be no doubt that in time he will have
the power. All this mass of production must
come to this country in British bottoms, and
consequently will not only be so much subtracted
frorn American growth. but a large proportion of
freight deducted from American tonnage. Such
are some of the consequences already resulting
from • the American tariff: indeed, there was
hardly a reflecting matt throughout the Union
that did not foresee that that ill-advised measure
would recoil with ten•fold force on the Ame-
ricans themselves. The majority by which it was
passed into a law was smaller than any we recol-
lect. Our trade to America will be but little
injured by the tariff, es, besides the Canadian
frontier, through which goods may be smuggled
by British subjects, the whole sea-hoard of 'the
States is laid open to the native American smug-
glers, whom the high duties will certainly tempt
to evade the revenue. The celebrated offensive
and defensive treaty of Catherine with the
Northern Powers first gave importance to the
iron manufacture of Itngland, anti we should not
Let surprised if the American tariff, should it he
persisted in, were to make the Mahometatts the
most extensive growers of tobacco and cotton.--

Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived fate last
night. The precariousness of the King's life is
almost the only thing that gives them public in-
terest at this moment—and they are reduced by
the Censorship to such absolute nonconductors,
that nothing shUrt of what could not be kept
secret, an absolute demise, would be allowed to
pass through them. It is an event, however,
which'may be daily expected. He is said stilt to,
bear mass, and preside over Cabinet Meetings—
but all within the 'Walls of the Tuileries. Ile no
longer takes airings. At several periods since
the restoration, the death of Louis XVIII.
would have been an Important incident in the
pelitics of Europe ; now, however, it can be
little else than a mere party question of place
and power. It is said the present Minister,
is firmly established in the , favour of the
successor. Ills tenure, however, with the Count
d'Artois is far from secure. That illustrious
personage himself is scarcely susceptible of a firm
bold--anti if he was, closely united as he
has long been with all the leading individuals
of the Royalist Opposition, they have a
thousand means of renewing their relations with
biers when wearing the Crown. The present King
