Obliged to get rid of him
on account of his bad cow:iuct, for he bad robbed her on
a former occasion. AA 119 :if-past one o'clock on Monday
morning, policeman 287 alarmed the house, the door of
which he found open. Witness upon getting up found
that she bad been •
plundered of a considerable quantity
of clothes, and ol'aer property, which had been taken nut
of trunks. )."_ poker was found in the room lying across
the chili-, so that she had no doubt that if she had been
avvitk', and attempted to prevent the plunder her life would
b'.ve been in danger. As there were lodgers in her house
she was obliged to leave the door unbolted, and the lodgers
entered with latch-keye..
The policeman said that at a quarter past one o'clock,
he saw Cleaver passing up Half-Moon-street, with a small
bundle, and a person he believed to be Cox, following
with a large one. He immediately seized Cleaver, and
Cox threw down the large bundle and ran off. Cleaver
at once admitted that the whole of the contents were stolen
property, that they belonged to Mrs. Blundell, and that
Cox was the person who assisted him in the robbery.
Cleaver had a nail and a penknife, with certain implement*.
in his pocket.

Sergeant Fisher stated that he found Cox in his mother's
house in bed. The mother said that her boy bad not
been out of the house, and had been in bed since ten
o'clock. Witness, however, found that Cox's shoes Were
quite wet.
Cox—My Lord, Ido assure you I never saw this young
man before—never in all my days. I know nothing at all
about him.
The Lotto MAYOR—What do you say Cleaver?
Cleaver—Why, my Lord, I say I committed the rot.
bery, and that Cox assisted me—that's all.
Cox—How can you say such a thing?
Cleaver—l say he undertook to assist me upon my pre.
mise that he should have half the profits of the robbery.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to say that he in-
stigated you?
Cleaver— Oh dear no, I don't mean that by any means.
It was my intention to commit the robbery before he knew
anything about it ; but he was my accomplice, and no
mistake.

The LORD MAYOR—Do your friends know what you are?
Cleaver—No, my Lord. They are too respectable for
me to trouble them on the subject.—Remanded.

H. M. S. Inconstant, 36, Captain D. Pring,
arrived here on Friday morning last from Barbadoes, which
she left on the 12th of January. On the 3d inst. the Incon-
stant experienced very heavy weather when about 150 miles W.
of Scilly, which continued unabated till the next evening. Her
foresail, mainsail, maintopsails, stay, and trysails, were blown
away ; and so violent was the gale, that not a stitch of Canvas
could be shown • notwithstanding which she lay quite under
her bare poles, thus proving her to be an excellent sea-boat.
The Inconstant had on board a quantity o f specie before her
arrival at Barbadoes, the whole of which was left at that island.
Lieutenant-General Sir Sampford Whittingham came hones
passenger in her, and landed at the dock-yard in the afternoon
of the day.—Plymouth Chronicle.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND THE QUEEN
DOWAGER.--(From a Correspondent.) Through the Übe..
rality of the Prussian Government, the British Resident at
Coblentz on the Rhine lately obtained the use of the chapel, in
the late Elector's Palace in that town, for the performance al
divine service according to the rites of the Church of Englull.
An humble petition was a few days since addressed to her
Majesty the Queen Dowager Adelaide, praying for a ma*
donation towards defraying the expenses of fitting up me said
chapels. Scarcoly had her Majesty received the petition, when,
with her usual generosity, she was graciously pleased to for,
ward, through Earl Howe, the sum of 25/. to Messrs. D
hard and Jordan, the trustees of the fund of Coblentz.
Such is the alarm caused by the Chartists, that
we understand three counties in the north can muster 40;4
10,000 troops on a short notice.
