G UILDHALL.

William Haydon was brought up yesterday for
final examination before Mr. Alder►nan BROWN,
charged with forging a check on Messre. Praed,

the bankers, I.ir 300/.
Mr. Davis, a newspaper vender in Broad-street,
St. Giles's, stated that the prisoner had lived in his
service about four years and a half, boarding and
lodging in the house, and receiving five shillings per
week. On the 15'11 of June he gave the prisoner hie
banking-book to carry to Messrs. Praed, in order that
it might be made up, and by referring to this the
prisoner acquired the knowledge alit there was a
considerable balance in their favour. The prisoner
delivered the book correctly, and on the following
day (Sunday) Ire went out to see his friends. He
did not re urn at night as usual, but this circum-
stance excited no suspicion. Being still absent on
Wednesday morning, witness became alarmed, and
sent to the banker's for his book, when he dis-
covered that the prisoner had forged a check for
3001., which had been cashed on•the Monday. It
purported to be drawn in favour of W. Parker, and
was dated the 15th of June. The blank had been
extracted from witness's check-book, but he did not
know what opportunity the prisoner had seized to
cut it out. He was positive it WAS written by the
prisoner.
Mr. Tomalin, from Messrs. Praed's proved the
payment of the check on the 17th.- He could not
ident►fv the prisoner as the party who presented it.
Mr. Flower pressed the magistrate to remand
the prisoner again for a week, by which time he
expected to hear of the apprehension of the ❑tterer
of the check, who was known.
Mr. Hill, on the other hand, prayed that the
prisoner (,vho made no defence) might be now
disposed of. . _ .

A man, named William Treen, was brought in
custody to this office by Ruthven, the officer, charged
with having counterfeited and forged marks on
wrought silver plate, in imitation of and to resemble
the Intuits used by the Goldsmiths' Company of
the city of London for marking wrought plate of

silver.
The prisoner, who, it appeared, was taken into
custody at Devonport, was remanded, to give time
for the production of evidence.
Richard Rope, shopman to Mr. Harrison, a pawn-
broker, residing in Tottenham-court-road, appeared
upon a summons to-account for his having sold a
gold watch, and its appendages, valued at 60
guineas, which were stolen on the 10th of April,
1830, from the bed-room of a gentleman named
Green, he (defendant) having received due notice
of the robbery, previous to his disposal of the
property.
A gentleman named Long attended on the part
of Mr. Green, to whom the watch belonged, and
according to his statement the properly was stolen
on the day in question from the bedroom of his
friend, Mr. Green, who was residing at the time at
the house of a lady named Ribie, situate at No. 12,
Southampton-row, Bloomsbu'y. The property was
stolen on Saturday, the 10th of April, 1830, and on
the following Monday information of the robbery
was given to Salmon, the officer, who caused hand.
b;lls to be printed, describing the watch, and stating
the fact of its having been stolen. These hilts were
sent round in the usual way to the several pawn-
brokers.

The defendant, in answer to questions which were
put to him by Sir F. Roe, stated that the watch
was pledged at the shop of his employer on the
12th of April, 1830, and at the end of fifteen
months it was sent to an auction room, where it was
bought in for a given sum.
Sir F ROE—In whose name was the watch
paw:ied ? Detendant—lt was pawned, together
.with the chain and seals, for 201., by a man who
stated that his name was John Lyle, and that he
lived at Merton, in Surrey. The defendant went
on to state that the watch remained in his posses-
sion until about three months ago, when he sold it
for 151. to Mr. Saunders, a pawnbroker, residing in
BreWet-mreet.
Sir F. Roe—Before you sold the watch to Mr.
Saunders I believe you w, nt to the makers,
Messrs. Desbois and Wheeler, to ascertain its value ?
Witness—I did.'
Sir F. Roy.—And were you not informed there
that the watch was made for Mr. Green, from
whom it had been stolen ? Defendant—l certainly
received some information to that effect, I was
told by the makers that they believed the watch
was stolen.
Sir F ItoE—Did you not go again to the
makers to make further ingairies before you sold it
to Mr. Saunder's ? Defendant—l did not. I admit
that it was an oversight of mine.
Sir F. Roe—lt is an oversight of a very serious
description, and I can tell you that I am determined
notwithstanding the length of time since the roLbely
was committed, to investigate the matter as closely
as I can. No doubt a vast quantity of stolen pi o-
Perry gets into the hands of pawnbrokers, who are
bound by law to detain, for the purposes of justice,
try article pledged with them which they have
reason to believe was stolen. The magistrate then
told the defendant that he should not require his at-
tendance at present, but when sdlicient evidence of
the robbery was ob,ained, he should again call upon
him to come forward.
The watch, which, it appeared, the defendant had

The defendant also undertook to produce the chain
and seals, which he said he had sold. -
It appeared that as soon. as Messrs. Desbois and
Wheeler ascertained that the stolen watch was in the
hands of the defodant, they sent notice of the f4c,

to Miss Rabie, at whose house Mr. Green lodged at
the time the robbery took place. That lady wen!
to Mr. Harrison', shop, and tendered the sum for
which the property was pledged, together with the
interest, but she. could obtain no satisfaction. A
eommunication was the] forwarded to Mr.-Green,
who deputed his friend, Mr. Long, to . act for h;tri,
and that gentleman procured the assistance of Sal-
mon, by whose exertions the business was put into
a train of inquiry.
MARLBORO U GR: S TREE T.

A luckless little urchin, whose stature hardly
enabled him to peep at the m-gistrate over the
table, was charged by his master, a tailor, in the
Quadrant, with having loitered on an errand last
Wednesday.
The trembling culprit was one of those .friendless
mortals known as parish apprentices, and haying
been recently emancipated from workhouse-restric-
tion, every sight was a novelty to him, -Bed mani-
fold and mighty were the temptations he found to
loiter on his master's erands for a few minutes.
Having occasion to take home on Wednesday some
garment to a customer in the neighbourhood of
" Bartlemy Fair," the temptation proved too potent
for the oratorict.l adrricnirtons he bad is frbm his
master, and never having had even a glimpse of this
elysium of the juvenile branches of the working
community, in a luckless hour he allowed his evil
genius to prevail, and in a few minutes he found
himself all agape with wonder in the middle of
Smithfield. Assailed on the one hand with the
savory fumes of " hot sausages," and kind invita-
tions to try a dip in the " lucky hag," and lost in
speechless amazement at the prodigies going for-
ward at the show-booths, and surrounding him on
all sides, he adowed an hour to slip away,totally un-
heeding that one was at home who was
" Gathering his brows like gathering storm,
" And nursing his wrath to keep it warm."
When he got back to the Quadrant the secret of
his absence was extracted from him, and after un-
dergoing a preparatory admonition, he was brought
to this office to be dealt wick according to his Ma-
jesty's pleasure.
The friendless little soul pleaded hard for forgive-
ries, urging the irresistible temptation to trespass
in never having, in all his life, been at a fair before,
and faithfully promised, if be was pardoned this
time, that whets sent on an errand in future, no far-
famed seven-leagued boots should use more expe-
dition. _

The complainant, who, it may be stated, a few
months ago figured many times at this office, hinted
that a mysterious disappearance of cabbage had
lately occurred.
Mr. DYER, as a warning to future parish appren-
tices of the dangers attending the indulgence of
" Bartlemy fair" attractions, sent the boy to prison
for a week.

The Magistrate said, that if the complainants in
tention was to endeavour to work a reformation in
the morals of the girl, it was rather a singular way of
trying the experiment to take her into his house
under such circumstances.
The girl said that if she stopped much longer
with Genese he would have starved her outright.
Ile was one of the Jewish persuasion, and thought
she could live upon air.
The magistrate said that Genese deserved the
conduct he had experienced at the hands of the
young woman, for taking her into his house without
a character. He added, that the clothes she pledged
having been produced, he should
,fine her for illegally
pawning. •
Genese, upon hearing this declaration; said that
he would rather lose the things altogether .dian
Utt-
nish her.
Magistrate—Then why bring her here ? Genese
—I thought that if I had her taken into custody, it
would have the effect of making an impression en
her, and preventing her in future from robbing me.
The father of the prisoner was sent for, and he
said that Genese induced her to quit home and go
to live with him. He added, that if his child only
left the man who pretended to reform her, but who,
in fact, only made her worse, he (the father) would
receive her with open arms.
The prisoner having promised to quit Genese and
return home, the Magistrate discharged her, kind
said that if it was under other circumstances he
shoeld have directed the pawnbroker to have deli.

did not come into court wi•halean hands himself, he .
must pay the money advanced -upon them.

They were fined five shillings each, and

SUFFERINGS of a SHIPWRECKED PARTY

IN NOVA ZEMBLA.

Snow storms soon blocked up their hut, and the
cold became so intense they could barely endure it.
Linen froze in an instant wheu taken out of warm ,
water. The closeness of the hut nearly suffocAed -
them from the smoke; and if the fire became low
the walls were soon covered with thick ice; even
the beds were lined with it. Except when employed
in cooking, they lay constantly in their beds. Often-
times they heard tremendous noises like thundt-r
break the fearful stillness of the unbounded frozen
waste around them—it seemed like the bursting
asunder of mountains and the dashing them into
atoms. This sound was probably caused by the
fracture of the ice at sea. Their clock stopped in
consequence of the cold, but they managed to know
how the time went by a twelve-hour glass. Ort
the 6th of December they found the cold so intense
they had no expectation of surviving it. Thy
could keep themselves warm by no resources they
could .command. Their wine froze, and they sera
obliged to melt it every two days, when hall a pint
was served out to each man. They knew not day
from night, the moon shining brightly ; there was no
distinction at the time their clock stopped, and
they were perplexed to know what time of the
twenty-four hours it might be when they set
their hour-glass. On the 7th of December
they went on board their ship for some coals,
and made up a good fire in the evening, which
gave them much comfort. They had a narrow es-
cape, however, from the vapour; for, closing every

possible, a seaman who was indisposed- first com-
plained of not being able to bear it, and then they

reached it fell down faint on the snow. On ihe
19th of December the seamen's shoes were frozen
so hard that they could not be worn, and tle-'y m 'de
themselves slippers of skins, and put on several
pairs of socks together to keep their feet in heir.
The ice was an inch thick on the sides of their hut,
and when they went out in clear weather their
clothes became white with frost and ice. They had

hot stones to their feet and bodies to keep them

would warm and gladden them again with his beams.

DISCOVERY OF CAVERNS ATCLAXIIEUGIL
—About a fortnight ago while some workmen were re-

from this town, they came to an opening in the solid rock.
