stealing on the 15th July, a the .se, value V. 5i., the
property of Mr. Retigrave, a cheese factor, of Wilson-
street, Somers Town.

Thomas llama, a shoemaker, residing in Wilson-
street, stated that on the day in question, he saw the
prisoner coming up Wilson-street with the cheese under
his arm, suspecting he had not come honestly by it, he
stopped him, and on taking him to Mr. Wilson, he claimed
the cheese as his property.
John Adams, the prosecutor, identified the property,
and recommended the prisoner to mercy.
The prisoner in his defence said, that he had been
employed y a person he did not know to carry the cheese
to Lon 4on for Is.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Henry Cole, a regular member the swell mob, was
indicted for stealing from the person of Eliza Talbot on

crown•, and 8..

Elizabeth Talbot stated that on the day in quastion she
was cuing done Whitechapel, and on coming to the end
of Goula'one street. she was surrounded by six or seven
n en, among whom was the prisoner at the bar. Her bag
was cut open and the purse taken out. Two of the men
who were in comp-my with the prisoner had been pre-
viously convicted and transporte.l. Was quite certain the
the prisoner was an accomplice in the robb-ry.
Several otter witnesses swore positively to the prisoner,
who strongly denied having any participation in the
robbery.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

James Smith, James Stracey, and Henry Stracey,
were indicted for stealrog, on the 29th of July, a carpet
bag containing two coats, value 81., and several other
articles of wearing apparel, the property of Anthony
Brown Storey.
Mr. Storey stated that be resided at 58, Lincoln's-inn-
fields, and was studying for a conveyancer. On the 28th
of July last he packed up a quantity of wearing Apparel in
a carpet bag, which he gave to the bog, directing him to
take it to the Greyhound in Smithfield. Those articles
never reached their destination, and pros, cuter never saw
them till they were produced a' Wm ship-street.
G urge Coursell, a boy 12 years of age, stated that he
was errand boy to Mr. Storey, who, on the 28th of July,
gave him a carpet bag to take to the Greyhound, Smith-
field. As he went through Lincoln's Inn-fielda, he met
the prisoner Smith, who inquited if he knew anybody that
was in want of an errand boy. Witness toll him he did
not. After they had proceeded a little further, Smith
inquired where witness lived, and on being told at 58,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, he asked the name of his master.
Witness replied, Cooper. Smith then walked on with
witness till they came to Fulwood's Rents, Holborn, where
witness told him his mistress wanted a servant of all-work,
and after asking witness where he wis going, Smith lett
him. Witness went on till he came to King's Head-court,
Holborn, where he saw the prisoner James Stracey, who
gave him a note, directed to Sirs. Cooper, which he
said he had received from Mr. Storey at the Greyhound,
with a desire that he should give it to witness, who
was to take it to Mrs. Cooper, and bring back the
things mentioned in it, and he (Stracey) was to take
the carpet hag to the Greyhound. Witness inquired
how Stracey knew him, when he said Mr. Storey bad
directed him to give it to a little boy whom he would
meet with a carpet bag. Witness then gave the carpet
bag to Stracey, and posted off to Mrs. Cooper, where
he discovered the trick that had been played upon him.

Thomas Tipper, policeman, F 152;stated that he was
returning from Cierktinwell Prison, in company with
another pcliceinan, when he met the three prisoners in
Fieet-atreet. Smirh had a bundle under his arm. Witness
sl:spected that all was not right, and followed them to
Holywelf-lane, Shoreditch. Smith and Henry Stracey
stopped behind, and James Stracey took the bundle.
Witness followed hint to a house in Anker.street, accom-
panied by his fellow policeman. Saw him go into the
back parlour, where he left the parcel. On his coming
out witness stopped him, and asked him what he hail dune
with the parcel, and who gave it him. He said he re-
ceived it from a person named Smith, whom he did not
know, desiring him to leave it at the house. On examining
the parcel, it contained gentlemen's apparel. Shortly
afterwards saw the other two prisoners coming towards
the house, both of whom they secured. On searching
Smith they found the plate of a carpet bag, with the name
of Storey upon it,

Charles Brooks, policeman, 121 F, corroborated the
statement of Tipper. On searching James Stracey, found
a pair of spectacles and slippers upon him.
The ptisoners made no detence; and the Jury found
Smith and Jatnes Strac, y guilty, and llenry Stracey not
guilty.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

Henry Harding was indicted for stealing money from
his master's till.
William .Tones deposed that he was a grocer in Pad-
dington ; the prisoner was in his employ as shoptnan, and
had access to his till. He missed money on various oc-
casiorw, and of course suspicion fixed upon the prisoner as
the only one who was a at:anger that could go to the
dra, er. Marked mtin.y was put in it on one occasion.
~art of which was found missing, and on the prisoner
being searched, it was found upon biro. His box was
also searched where a considerable sum was found, 01
which he could give no account. Prosecutor had PO
ioubt it was all Lis, as the boy had none when be entered
service.

The prisoner war fuund guilty, and as the Cluirman
,trasidered it was necessary to use severe measures in
order to put a stop to an evil that was duly inereasinis he
.entenced him to be transpor!ed fur 14 years.
Three men named Smith Owen, had Strange, and two
women named Owen and Alabaster, were indicted uudtr
Me 61 Geo. IV. fur baring is their puswoiou liftrsiz

counterfeit sixpences, with intent to utter them, or put
them off.

hree sergeants of the H. division of police went, on
the 7th August, in consequence of information, to a house
in Chapel-court, Essex -street, \Vhitechapel, and found all
the prisoners sitting round a table, with tea dishes on it,
but neither bread, butter, sugar, nor tea in the pot, nr
water in the kettle. One of the prisoners threw some-
thing away, which was found to he a bag containing 45
sixpences finished as to the making, but not quite ready
for circulation. On the prisoner Smith nine sixp"ncee
were found, and on Owen two, all blackened, as it wan
rall'd, and quite ready for being sent out. These wan a
large fire, and on the floor was found a broken mould,
and in the cupboard a hag of plaster of Paris. The six-
pences in the bag were warm.
Mr. Field, inspector of the Mint, pronounced all to he
counterfeit, and all from the same moult'.
Smith, in his defence, said he had called on Owen, who
invited him to take a cup of tea. He saw a piper on
the mantleshelf, and thinking it was tobacco, put it in hi.-
pocket. Owen said he knew nothing about the money.
but on going to the cupboard in the morning had found
the hag and taken two out merely to know whether they
were good or not. Strange was merely on a visit to
Owen as was Owen to Alabast-r.

They were all found guilty, and the Chairman then
informed the jury that Owen and Alabaster were the
makers; the others had been on a visit certainly, but it
was to obtain a supply of the base coin ; they were well
known as utterers. He sentenced all of them to one year's
imprisonment and hard labour, twelve weeks of the time
to be spent in solitary confinement.
The rest of the mitrnisg was taken up with Mint cases
similar to the above.

THE STORM.

WRECK OF THE AMPHITRITE.

(From the second Supplement of the Boulonnaise of
Sept. 3.)

We have just witnessed a most shocking event. The
Amphitrite English transport, Captain Hunter, struck
the shore on the 31st August, at five in the evening, in
the direction of the old wood fort opposite Eultert's Mill.
It had on board 108 women, condemned to transportation
for crimes of trifling importance, twelve children, a crew
of sixteen, and the wife of the surgeon. The wind blew
with extreme violence, the sea ran high, and as the vessel
struck at low water, it was certain that at best, when the
tide rose, the vessel must go upon the rocks. The danger
was imminent; it was necessary to inform the captain of
it; but how was it possible to risk putting to sea in such
weather ? Nothing, however, could stop the brave flenin,
whose devotion and courage we have before had so often
occasion to notice. He threw himself into the sea
sight of a thousand persons, who could all see the courage
with which he surmounted the waves that appeared ready
to overwhelm him. He approached the vessel, and told
a sailor of the dangerous position in which the ship was
placed, and then returned to land, after buffetting against
the storm for an hour and a half. The notice he gave,
however, having produced no effect, the pilots, Huret and
Tetard, got together nine men, and launched a boat, but
the wind was so high, that it was only after four ineffec-
tual attempts that they were able to approach the stranded
vessel. They asked for a rope to establish a communica-
tion between the vessel and the shore. A sailor threw
them one, and our boat approached the shore, but they
soon perceived that those on ba trd the vessel, instead of
letting the rope run out, were stopping it. It being im•
possible for them to hold on by the rope without risking
their lives, they were obliged to drop it, and return to
land without Oa .t means of succour. The brave Huret
and Tetard thus saw all their efforts frustrated by the re-
fusal of the captain to receive assistance.
We have since learnt, from one of the three sailors
saved, that the surgeon, who in these kind of voyages has
a control over the captain, refused all assistance, would not
let the captain land, and thus, by his obstinacy, occasioned
the loss of the crew and women he ought to have landed
at Sidney. At ten in the morning, the tide having risen,
the vessel was driven against the rocks. The captain
made signals of distress; but it was too late, help was
impossible. Three men only saved themselves—two
sailors and the mate. The two first are at the house 01
Mr. Barry. master of the M wine Hotel, and will soon be
able to go about. The third is in perfect health. By
the exertions of the Paris correspondent of the Standard,
who happened to be at Boulogne, a subscription has been
op-ned, which already amounts to 900 francs. Its oh-
jest is,
lot. 'To enable the men saved to return home, and in-
demnil them fur the loss of their clothes.
2nd. To assist the widows and children of the
drowned sailors.

3rd. To iecompense H,,nin, Huret, Tetard, and the
men in the boat for their devotion.

4,th. To buy a life ho it in order that we may be able tr
assist disrressed vessels in the most stormy seas.
s!h. To reward the officers of the Royal Humane
S,,ciety for the care they h lavished upon the bodies in
the hope of restoring them ti life. Mr. Hawes, son of
the founder of that society, Mr. Barry, of the Marine
Hotel, M. Medlin, son of the Prefet du Nord, wi,h Mrs.
Austin, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Hawes, and other Englis,
ladies, have distinguished themselves by thitr benevolent
activity on this occasion. Sixty six bodies have beer,
found up to the present moment. The English and
French clergy in Boulogne will on Sunday preach a
sermon on behalf of the subscription, end steps have been
taken to obtain a benefit for it at the theatre.

We take this opportunity to deplore the putting in force
a sanitary measure, which we cannot help calling absurd.
The Custom House offs •ers have orders to let no one ap
preach the vessel, so that when moments are precious,
and life is at stake, unfortunate sufferers are cut off Irmo
he:p. We ha Ito deplore the effect of a similar arrange
ment on the wreck of the American ship Williams.
These sanitary regulations ought surely to be revise►.
They are more fir for b-abarialis than a civilized nation.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 4.-
The sites are again limited, amounting to not more than
1,500 bags. The market is steady, though the low quali
tire of cotton have a tendency to fall in price.

VIOLENT STORM.—Early on Sunday morn-
ing the town and neighbourhood of Harleston was visited
with the most awful tempest ever remembered by its (tides,
inhabitants. Considerable injury has been sustained I),
the loss of stock, cause I by the thick darkness during
the dreadful stortn.—Sherbo-ne Journal.

An occasional visitor to Brighton asks
what authority the Post Office authorities charge onr
penny in addition to the regular postage on every letter
and newspaper delivered in that town 1 And whether
the Post Office is not bound to deliver every l-tter theta
on payment of the postage only, as throughout the metro
polity and other large towns?
The House of Bischoff and Co., of Buck-
lershury, one of the most respectable in the city, an,
which has enjoyed for many years past high consideration
and credit, suspended its payments yesterday. The lia
hilities of the firm are stated to be about 150,000/ , but
hopes are entertained, from the circumstances which have
led to the stoppage, that a very large percentage will 1,,
realized on that auto for the benefit of the creditors.
appears from what has transpired in the city, that assu-
rance might have been obtained, and the affairs of do
house proceeded as usual for some time to come, but tin-
partners, on a close investigation into their affairs, saw
reason to apprehend that their difficulties could not he sur-
mounted, and they adopted, therefore, the more honour-
able course of suspending payment at once, rather that
incur further loss, and perhaps enable particular creditors
to obtain payment in fall, to the detriment of the general
ba,ly of them. Besides the London house of business
the firm hat establishments at Cadiz, Gibraltar, Mexico,
and other places abroid. They were largely engaged in
the trade in wool, but also acted very extensively as ge-
neral merchants. On account of the great estimation it:
which the parties are held, the event has caused deep con-
cern among commercial men in general.
THE WEATHER.—The transition from warm
to extensive cold weather was probably never greater that,
it was on Satutd ,y list, and so parched was the earth
rum the late drought, that notwithstanding the rain that
copiously fell from Friday night to Sunday morning al•
most incessantly, it did not penetrate the soil on an ave-
rage more thin four inches deep, but it however p, e-
pared it for saturation by the gentle showers which since
illowed, and the face of the country is now considerabf.
improved. In many places the pumps became useless and
springs were di tea up, and the trees assumed an autumna'
hue, In St. James's Park several ttees were stripped ott
Saturday of their yellow leav s, and are now as bars; as
tkuugh it were the depth of winter, and the foliage in
Kensington Gardens has alsa undergone a great change.
file storm on Saturday, though attended with some mis-
chief, was beneficial to the health of the metiopolis, as
it swept a.. ay much foul vapour, and purified the air;
while the heavy rain cleared the sewers and carried tff
the accumulated filth.

BEES v. BAILIFFS.—LateIy, at Rethel,
three bailiff* having gone to a house to make a seizure for
414, the debtor went into his garden, and brought into
his house a bee hive, and having shaken out the bees, the
annoyance was so great, that the intrusive vioiters were
compelled to take flrght.
