TurqnaY there was a General Meeting of the

Cordially consented 'to the elegant gifts of .plate
which had been voted, but he In.iintaioed that sala-

dividend was in arrear. He pointed out the order in
which their funds were strialy appropriated by the
Ad, and expressed his apprehensions that any depar-
ture from the stria letter of the Statute might bete.

- The flagrant robbery committed on Tuesday
night, in the house of Mr. Venables, pawn.
broker, on Usher's Island, by a banditti of plun.
derers, has excited the most general surprise and
indignation. Mr. Venables and his family were
spending the evening from home, and the villains,
by meins of a lamp-lighter's ladder, got over his
stable into the yard of the house; the back door
being either incautiously open, or only latched, they
obtained ready admittance. There were in the
kitchen at the time, three lads, we are told, be.
longing to Mr. Venables, one of them 20 years of
age, and a female servant.

The plunderers, immediately on entering,placed
two armed sentinels at the door of the kitchen,
and closely confined those who were in, in using,
we suppose, wicked menaces. They demanded a
•andle, but the people declared they had not such
a thing; the desperadoes sent cut for one themselves,
and had sentinels watching for. them Without side.
Having provided themselves with light, they went
directly to those parts of the house where were
deposited the watches and plate, which. they en.
tirely carried off;. but not at otice, having made
some turns of plunder. Thq.took between five
and six hundred gold,and silver watches,--the loss;
of which, and plate„ will amount to upward* two
thousand p outtis.' 'The villainswere:above ao' flour
in the ?rouse perpeir,ating the robbery. 'We
happy to that some of them.can be identifted..
Their knowledge of the manner in which the pro.
perky. Was secured in the house was so accurate, that
they took certain valuables from the desk 'of Mr.
Venables. There is a stable lane from Bridgefoot.
;meet, at the rear of the house, by which the rob-
bers entered, and in it was found the lainp.tighter's
ladder 'with which they ascended.

Wednesday night the 'Warehouse of Mr. Oxley
was entered, on the •Nferci,int's.quay, by some. Vil.
laius, by means of skeleton keys, and rubbed of
much property, consisting of woollen and cotton
goods, and other articles. In searelii.g fit the
offenders un Thursday night, who robbed the house
of Mr. Venal)les, Uarlees-quay, on Tuesday night,
two ruffians, of the names of 111•13ria'e and Coio/O,
were discovered at a house in West Arran.streer,
in whoc posNession was found most of the propgrty
belonging to Mr..oxley. The ruffians 1104 with
them several skeleton keys, and yesterday inortiing
more than 50 others, belonging to these pluocirrOs,
'and their confederates, were taken: Examinations
are lodged against these villain's, and they are now
in the New Prison. It is suspeUed, that the above.

mentioned delinquents are of the gar% who Eubbrti
Mr. Venable*.

A plan for a Light. House, intended to be erected
on Flamborough Head, is now invented on a 'Very
peculiar construction, and suhmitred' to- the inspec.
tion of the Trinity Houses, Ship Owners, 'Under.
writers, and Merchants 'of London, NewcAtlr,
Hull, and other Ports. , We believe, that it meets
with the general approbation of all who are con.
eerned in the preservation of property, and the
lives of Mariners, at sea, and that it will be carried

- • -
into ere& The plan is the invention of B, MrLsa,
Esq. 'Colledor of His Majesty's Customs at. the
Port of Bridlington; if is to be construe'ted with
two lights revolving on a horizontal plane,. se.
venty feet from the ground, reflected by, concave
mirrors; appearing to the Mariners at sea alternate.
ly seventy feet aspader, and then as one light, by
eclipsing each as they pass round, every five. mi.

able from all other lights on the' Coast. Those must

Since the formation of new. Harbours and otter
improvements, which
,hive been made by the.Loe.
my on their Coast from Calais to Boulogne, it has
become:art Object} of importance that our oppciiitc
Coast should be rendered equally defensive : with
this view, theCanal.throughßoinney Marsh, from
Shorncliffe to Rye has been projefted, 'and is exe.
eating. with unexampled aftivtty, at various places
along the line ,• and great numbers of labourers,
lately employed at the Dockiand Public WOrks of

stone are already - collefled, and twenty vessels,
freighted with bricks, are arrived 3' besides which,
three millions more have also been contrasted for, •
to be made near the spot, as soon as the season will
'permit. One consequence of these works, together
with the expensive repairs of Dyatchurch Walli, has
been an increase of population hitherto unknown in
that part of the caunty.
On Monday the' 3 tat ult. a melancholy accident
happened at the Kilmarnock
,Coal.pita. A; Adam.,
Miller and Peter Stewart stepped into the bucket to
go down to their work, the tope unfortunately
'broke, by which they were both'precipitated to the
bottom, and killed on the spot. It was found the
rope was injured by the intenseness of the frost ;
and it is hoped, this fatal accident will be a warn.

The circumstances of the case, as they appeared
in evidence, were as follow : The Prosecutor, who
lodges at No. t z, Swallow.street, on his going out
in the morning of the 28th of November, locked
his room door, leaving the key on the window.stool,
at the stairhead, for the servant to make his bed.
He left his trunk unlocked ; and on his return again
at night, he missed several articles from the trunk ,
amongst others, a waistcoat and pair of breeches,
a Bible, three yards of Scotch linen,a pair of breeches.
Slings, a neck.-kerchief, and some other articles.--
He lodged information at the Police Office, and in
some days afterwards the Prisoner was traced to a
house in.Brewer.street, by an Officer, who, upon
searching her,, found twelve keys, two of which
were found' to unlock the Prosecutor's door. The
Constable then went to a house itt King.streer, Se.
ven Dials, where the Prisoner had lived under the
name of Robinson, where, upon searching, helound
a neck.kerchief, marked with A. T. the initials of.

it was part of a. piece of his mother's webb, sent

then ran away. He 'cried " Srop timid !" and a
Gentleman seized the Prisoner, who, however, got

He took no notice, however, till die Prisoner gave

head in a dreaditil manner. About tzor 14 pieces
of hone had come out, and more wee coming. He
was then taken to the hospital.

by asharpinstrument.

The I),,ritnmer, in his defence, denied that he knew

LORD CHIRF BARON IVIAcnortALD summed up
the evidence. The Jury immediately foond 'the
Pritoner duilty--Deatb.
Martin Ryan Was indided for having, on the p7th
of the month before last, in Brook.street, stopped
Susan kiall,put her in fear, and robbed her of a cap
and some other articles.

kcisocur ituat4 her, pushed her down, and rubiled

I er of her property', which consisted of a cip,
ring, and other things. She did nut cry out at

she insisted that she was sober, though she
had drank some gin and beer. She confessed :nit sie
had said to the Magistrate that the robbery was
cotmnitted in Butcher-row, flut she now insisted
that it was in Brook-street.

William Brown, a Police Officer, produced the
property, which he found on the Prisoner.
A Pawnbroker of the name of Nichols, deposed,
that theProsecutrix had told hirn that she had lost
her property in a public.house.
Mr. Justice LA.warNcE observed, that the yea.
man's evidence was too loose and vague t 9 be de-

gave rise to the fire in' Queem:.streei last week,
which broke out in the stables;'diad. des'troYed' fou'r
horses, appears.to have. been; upon the strictest
quiry, the fall of the lanthorn. It is a general
preAice to suspend the lanthorn by a cord, Which
passes over'a puny
,near the centre of the stable.
This cord will in time lute its tenacity, by the heat
and, smoke of the candle and- steam of the htscs,
and is not an effeCtual security. The' 'lanthorn
should be fixed against the wall, and out of the 'way
of all litter, which would, in all probabili•ty, pre-
serve the lives of those useful animals. We recom_
mend the above hint to the serious attention of all
parties concerned.

great detriment of many tradesmen : she calls her,.
self the Hon. Mrs. -----, and she has, within the
last fortnight, made some successful adventures on
those who were so unfortunate as to behold her
fascinating figure. She generally calls at a shop, and
purchases a quantity of expert ve 'articles, for which
she giVes a checque upon 'a bulking house ; but is
particularly careful not to do so until alter the
hours of business. Having purchased a quantity
of jewellery at a shop in Oxford-street, on Sato'.
day last, she .made a strong and successlu/ plea for
the change of a 201. checque, stating, that she re-.
sided in Portlan&place. She has carried on such
deceptions at the principal watering places ; and
while at Hastings, in Sussex, about two monthi
sitiee, she paused for the wife of a Naval Lieutenant,
whom she described tobe gone to the West Indies
to secure some extensive estares. Her'arlifices have
equally succeeded in most of the towns in Sussex,
and as bet-person, Bcc. is well known to the Police,
we have, no doubt but we shall shortly hear Mora
of her.
