that the breakers were so near, and asked the witness to
go down and take a glass of brandy on account of his
exertions. The witness, in stating the particulars of
the narrow escape from the rocks, subsequently said
that the Captain instead of giving any assistance was in
the state-room fastening on a life-preserver ; upon that
occasion the ship lost her rudder, and the Captain re-
marked that they were a ship at sea without a rudder,
to which witness replied that they would make a jury
rudder, which would enable them to get into port,
and proposed to use the sprit-sail yard and the main-
boom. The Captain refused, but said that if the car.
penter could make anything of the studding-sail-boom
he might have them. The carpenter contrived then
to make a rudder of oars and pieces of plank. After
the vessel was trimmed, and whilst the Captain and
witness were at breakfast, and the boy waiting upon
them, the Captain said that as the ship was then
without a rudder, he wished that they had been all
asleep, and let her have gone on Annaguarda.
The whole of the evidence of this witness increased,
if possible, the impression made by his previous state-
ment, that it had been the determination of Captain
Looze to destroy the ship,

Margaret Sutherland Robertson stated that she
was servant to Michael Wallace's family, in Tredegar-
square, in November last. She recollected that her
master came home to dine on Friday, the 27th No-
vember, at five o'clock. He was rather flurried. Ho
took dinner with Mrs. Wallace, and gave witness a
note to take to Mr. Howden at Westham. He gave
her a sovereign to take an omnibus, but she did not see
one, and she walked there ; and after having left the
note at Mr. Howden's, who was not at home, walked
back. Mr. Howden afterwards called at the house,
and saw Mrs. Wallace, but Mr. Wallace was not at
home, and he went away. The two Misses Wallace
afterwards came to the house in a cab, and went into
the room in which Mrs. Wallace was. Witness was
called up stairs. The ladies were flurried and in a
hurry;and Mrs. Wallace was crying, Miss Janet Wal-
lace directed her to pack up her things, and paid her
3L 55., her wages, and a month for warning. It wes
about half-past ten o'clock, and witness had had no
previous notice to quit. Some papers were burnt that
night.

Mr. PHILLIPS objected that neither of the prisoners
were present at the time, and that the statement as to
the burning of papers was not evidence.
Sir PETER LAURIE decided that the witness should
be heard as to what she observed with regard to any
gapers which were burnt.

Witness said that she saw the remains of some burnt
papers in the kitchen, which were not there when shl
went out with the note. Some water had been thrown
on the kitchen grate. She never saw her master fro►:
the time she took the note from him till she saw him in
custody at the Mansion-house.—Adjourned.

CAUTION TO JEWELLERS.--A decent looking female,
named Anne Keane, was brought before Mr. Alderman
Lainson. on the following charge :
Mrs. Mary Anne Rose, a jeweller, carrying on busi-
ness at No. 90, Farringdon-street, said that the prisoner
came into her shop last night, and asked to see some
wedding rings, when a tray, containing a great number,
was laid fore her, from which she selected one,-
and soon afterwards, pretending to drop something,
stooped down, and, upon arising, laid back a ring on
the tray, saying she would call again, Witness observed
this ring appeared larger than the rest, and, upon exa-
mining it, found it was brass, and to have been substi-
tuted for the one which the prisoner originally took.
She was then given into custody.
The constable, who took the prisoner into custody,
said that no ring was found on her at the station-house.
Ha had been informed that a person answering to her
description, had been to vario.is jewellers' shops in the
neighbourhood, trying the same trick.
The ALDERMAN sentence!! her to two months' im-
prisonment in the House of Correction.
Joseph Miller, who had been previously examined on
a charge of possessing a quantity of stolen lead, was
again placed at the bar.

It appeared that the prisoner had been apprehended
whilst selling scme sheet-lead at the shop of Mr. Fen-
ton, a plumber i❑ Smithfield, and having stated that he
was a carrier in Hemel•Hempstead, and had been em•
played by a man named Holland to dispose of it for
him in town, inquiries were made there, when it was
'Quad that a quantity of sheet-lead had been stolen
from the mansion of Mr. Ryder, a magistrate of the
county of Herts, residing near Memel-Henipstead.
In compliance with a request from the Magistrates
of the above district, the prisoner _ was sent there for
final examination.

It le stated in the City that the Lord Mayor
does not intend to swear In Mr. Gibbs as the new bridge-
master, in consequence of the disclosures rel.tive to some
personating voters; this is the more likely as the rejected
candidate intends to demand a scrutiny.

if Such should be deemed advisable.
