WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS.

THEMURDER OP MR. RICH ARDS ON—
AN 0 THER HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
On Monday afternoon a Petty Sessions was held before
Messrs. STACE and SMITH, county magistrates, at Wool
wick, when a man named John Reeve, alias Long Bob
the Bi!deatcher, was charge.] with the following daring
highway robbery.
On Thursday last two of the In-me-patrol apprehended
the prisoner and another man named Richard Brown, at
Shooter's-bill, on suspicion of having attempted to rob a
gentleman near Hendon, in Middltsex. The prisoners
said that they knew nothing about it, and ti at they came
from Yarmouth. As the patrols were conveying them to
Woolwich the prisoner Brown hegeed to be allowed to go
into a shed on the road for a minute, which was consented
to, and they waited outside. Finding that be was vety
long they went in, when it was discovered that he bad
made his escape out at the back of the shed, and the pri-
soner Reeve only was brought to Woolwich, where he was
soon recognised as a well known depredator on the town.
It also appeired that when the patrols apprehended the
prisoner Brown, the man who made his escape exclaimed,
What, apprehend me for htghway robbery and murder,"
without anything b ing said to him about murder. This,
although perhaps trifling in itself, induced the authorities
at Woolwich to send to the Home office, when one of the
constable, employed at Easom and the neighbourhood in
endeavouring to trace out the murderers of the late Mr.
Riehamson w,s sent down on Monday morning- to attend
the examination of the prisoner.
A master shoemaker at Woolwich on last Sunday fort-
night was returning home through Wickhatn-lane, near
El'ham, in Kent, about half-past nine in the evening,
when he was stopped by ttso men, who each drew a large
bludgeon from under their clothes, and demanded his
money, or they would have his lite. He did not comply
at first, but they were about to strike him with their
bludgeons, and he delivered up his watch and all the silver
he bad in his picket. Tice prisoner was one of the men
who stopped and robin d him, and the man who escaped
answered the description of the other who robbed him.
The magistrates fully committed the prisoner for trial
for this highway robbery.
The constable from the Home Office was called in, and
on being asked to look at the prisoner, said that he ex +city
answered the description of one of the men who was seen
coming from the spot when the unfit; tunate Mr. Rich•
ardson was murdered, and, from the description given to
him of Brown by the patrols, be should think be was the
other.

The magistrates directed the constables to make every
search atter Brown, and a communicati,n to be instantly
sent to Epsom, informing the inirgistrates of the above
circinstanc:s, and the prisoner was ordered to be re.
mended.

It is expected he will be sent down to Ep,oin for fur
ther exatnio4tion.

Chateaubriand mentions it as a curious coin ci-
denev, that when he was Minister for Foreign Affrirs in
France, Mr. Canning filled the same post in England, and
Martinez de la Rosa in Spain—a triumvirate of poets, he

. -
srs, of which history does not afford another example.
OUR TOWN.—The volumes of provincial
sketches, just published under this name, bid fair to ex-
ceed in popularity any work of the kind ever published,
not excepting those of " Geoffry Crayon." The author
of this graphic and witty book will not, it may be securely
predicted, be able to preserve the incognito under which
be now makes his appearance. He will infallibly be dis-
covered, fur humorists such as he are scarce, and con-
j-cture will be busy to ascertain which of our market
towns has afforded a subject for his inimitable series of
satirical pictures.
THE ICE SPECULATION.—The quantity 01
ice shipped in the Tuscany to Calcutta was 180 tons, of
which about 50 only were last in inciting. An ice house
was constructed on shore for its reception, and the govern-
ment admitted it to entry duty free. It sold readily at
61 cents. pa lb. At that price it will yield a handsome
[auit, and will, no doubt, become a staple article of ex•
port. The speculation was first suggested by Mr. W illiam
C. Rogers of this city (who went out in the Tuscany),
to Mr. S. Austin, jun., who owned the ship, and Mr.
Sutlor, who Lad the monopoly of the ice trade to Havan-
nab. A joint speculation was entered into, which, for-
tunately for the patties, and to the additional credit of
Yankee enterprise, has proved eminently successful.—

MORE MANIFESTATIONS.—The prophets
of Edinburgh hive been so silent of late, that we thought
they had, like the Greek philosopher, retired " within
themselves," or perhaps gone whence they should not re-
turn. It weuld appear, however, that the vital principle
of lolly and absurdity is not yet extinct in these enthu-
siasts ; for we learn from a correspondent who attended
•close Chapel last Sunday, that the " Manifes-
tTirtrinusbe
"bt were' as manifest as cwt.! The actors in this
case were the most noted of Edinburgh and London.
After the preliminary services were gone through,Mr.Tair,
from the pulpit, said, " The Lord has been merciful and

house of God, so that there be no scoffing and no jesting,
that the work of the Lord be not hindered, as the deacons
will iinmediitely put out those that shall in any way appear
to disturb God's worship. The Lord m .ke this as the
beginning of Sabbaths to you, and may the tasting you
will have this day of the ministrations of the word, be

and feed them." Dr. Thomson then took the precentor's
sweet as it cdoimszeteo. usTbiyie
de-k, and entered into a lengthened illustration of what
was meant by women keeping at home, being lovers of
heir own husbands, and minding the matters of their own
family, and said, that never was there a land where this
commandment was so much needed as in this. Mr. Arm-
strong now took his station on the pulpit stairs, and spoke
at some length on the necessity of implicit obedience on
the part of the people to the absolute government of the
angel of the church. He was soon interrupted by Air.
Cardin vociferating " Obey it in every part—every mem.
her obey it in every part—every member obey it-0! be
ye born again—b' ye born again—Ye know it not—ye
know it not—Oh ! are ye not his members—are ye nut
his members—Yield ye yourselves unto him a holy people
—a separate people." Mr. Armstrong having resumed,
he was again interrupted by another apostle crying out
Oh Schism ! schism ! schism hath torn
asunder
Ihe body of Christ !" Mr. A. then observed that this

was the cry of the Holy Spirit for the body of Jesus.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MARCH
24.—To.day's market has not been dull as the demand
has been ample, but prices of most kinds are rather against
holders. A little speculation towards the close of the day.
gave some show of firmness, and the day terminate
rather more steadily. We have accounts per United
States from New York, which speak of the continued
mere motile embarrassment; the Bank affairs were more
tranquil, money extremely scarce, and public credit mud
shaken. Sales to-day 3,000 hal, s, being 2,400 American,
Sid. to 9d.; 200 51,ranhams, 9id. to 1 ; 100
Pernams, 101.1. ; 150 Surats, 6d. to 6 1. ; 170 Egyp-
tians, 13d. The accounts from Manchester are very
fl tttering; trach is very lively for all kinds of goods;
500 of the above Americans are for speculation and 100
fir export.
