HATTON-GARDF,N.

A female of the name of Amelia Stuart, residing
at No. 14, Guildford-street; Brunswick-square,
whose appearance would indicate that she is not one
of the lowest rank of prostitutes, was yesterday
brought up from Pentonville watch-house, and exa-
mined before the sitting magistrates, Mr. LAING and
Mr. ROGERS.

About eleven o'clock on Saturday night, screams
of murder were heard in the prisoner's house, and
ins►antly a man, almost in a state of nudity and co-
vered with blood, issued out, exclaiming that he was
robbed, and an attempt made to murder him by two
men, who stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, and
hat, and before he could effect his escape mangled
his tiice by blows in a dreadful manner. A person
of the name of Stunner, a boot and shoe-maker,
and a publican of the name of Wilcox, together with
the Mratehman, entered the house, but finding no traces
of the.per.ions who had committed the robbery, took
the prisoner into custody, and conveyed her to the
watch-house, whither, while they were going, she said
she knew the parties well, but neither the hope of re-
ward nor the fear of punishment should ever extort
from her a confession of their names or their circum-
stances. Shortly after the witness (Stunner) took
up a man whom he found lurking about the pri-
soner's residence, on suspicion of the robbery, and
• having. conveyed him to Spa-fields watch-house,
Walker, the constable of the night, refused to take
the charge of him, sad while Stunner was gone to
fetch the prosecutor, Malpy, who resides at No. 14,
Great Warner-street, Clerkenwell, to identify the
indiVidnal Walker discharged bins. He is well'
known, however, by the -officers, and no doubt is
entertained of his speedy apprehension.
~About eight o'clock on Sunday morning iNialpy's
clothes were returned to him, it is supposed by the
very man, at his residence. Mulpy did not attend
at
,the examination yesterday, and was stated to be
Out
.of town.

The prisoner denied to the magistrates all know-
ledge of the parties.
Walker did not think it his duty to detain the in-
dividual alluded to in custody 'merely on suspicion.
Mr.I.A;NG severely reproved him, and said if he
had not the man in, custody in the space of one
hour, he should suffer for it.—The prisoner was
discharged.

The Chairman of the Committee for erecting
a statue to the memory of the late Hight Hon. G. Canning,
has applied to the Common Council of this town for per-
mission to have it placed in the area facing the top of Lord-
street. The request was refused ; the Council regretting
that a want of sufficient space rendered it impossible.—Li-
verpnol Advertiser.

and ardent admirers 'ill this town, who will be gratified to
hear that the subscription for his monument already amounts

Dr. Wollaston; one of th© most enlightened
philosophers of the present age, either abroad or at home,
remains, we regret to hear, in a state which leaves little
or no hope of recovery. In tbs midst, however, of disease
and pain, and feeling that his life is most precarious, this
truly great man has been, and iy, devoting his probably
few remaining houis in communicating (by dictation) the
rosu:t of those discoveries which he has wade, and such of
those itnprovemeets, so invaluable to science, the kneiv-
ledge of which is calculated to be most beneficial to his
feilote-yeatures.

DEbCRIPTIVR POETRY.—A person who, UI
respect of poetical talent, thought himself no sheep's shank
bone, but who, like otLier great geniuses, was sometimes in
want of a dinner, endeavoured to recmnmend himself to
the favour of the late Sir William For!..es, whose benevo,
lenee was well known, by praising his residence at Colin-
ton in the following exquisite effusion :
Behold the house of Sir William Forbes !
Surrouuded with trees ail VovWd with eorbies ;
From whence the Pentland Hills are seen,
Pastured by sheep for ever green ! Glaftgow Herald.

PORTUGUESE Tif EA TRICA Ls.--The second
performance by the Portuguese amateurs took place on
Monday evening before a genteel and crowded audience.
The performances appeared to give the highest satisfaction
to those who understood the Portuguese language. Be-
tween the third and fourth act, it being rumoured that a
confirmation of the report of the death of Don Miguel
had been received, General Stubbs, who was in the stage
box, announced the intelligence in Portuguese to the
audience, by whom it was received with an enthusiasm
that baffles description. They were seen to embrace each
other, and many a joyous tear was shed. The ladies
waved their handkerchiefs in o..eordance with the enthu-
siastic cheer, which was repeated again and again. The
scene was animated beyond description, and the heart must
indeed be cold, the soul mist be dead to every generous
feeling, that could witness it, and net sympathise with
those exiled patriots in their feelings at that moment,
moved as they were by the idea that the author of their
country's sufferings had ceased to exist, as if by a special
intervention of Divine. Providence in their behall.—Piy-
mouths Journal.
