Mr. MaixwAin INC,' on asking Mr. Newman what he had
to say, be 'replied that he was not aware of hiS having commit-
ted an offence; he primed them in the course of his business,
-Without inquiring what. they Were intended 'fin; ; he did not
understandthe Prussian language on the note. .He was a re-
spectable man, and -was employed by various public offices~ and
not being in want of business, it • was unlikely that he should
accept .of the printing of the notes if he knew it would be a
crime: The 11.1 a strate thought it rather extraordinary that he
liad-n6t made inquiry. He answered that he thought they
we're adriiissiolis for some place. The Magistrate said, that was'
unlikely from the.great .quantity that were --printed, and he felt
'bOundin:coimnitthig them. Mr. Newman requested bail to
be taken ; he could bring forward the most respectable persons.
The Magistrate said he had but one course to pursue ; he re-
gretted rt -much, •if Mr, N. was led into -it ; he would order
every accommodation for him; but .he should remand them,

DARING lIIGfiWAY ROIBERY AND ATTEMPT

TO MURDER.

. .
Bo w-S,T n T.=-Vesterday three men, who gave their names
as Henry Tuck: Wm. Carpenter, and Stephen Dando, the two
former stout athletic men, and of remarkable ferocious appear-
ance and the latter apparently about 70 years of age, dressed
in black, underwent an examination before R. Esq.,
the presiding Magistrate, 'charged with robbing John Boseley
on the King's highway, and also with attempting to, murder
hini. On the prisoners being {gut to the bar, the-prosecutor,
Boseley, was called, and .on his appearance presented a most
shockingspectacle. • His face exhibited several deadly gashes,
from the.openings of which the blood still partially, flowed, the
contrast between which and the paid hue of his countenance,
togetherwith his dollies stained with blood from the wounds
he had 'received about his body, made his appearance truly
ghastly: It appeared from his statement, .that he was a tra-
velling pedlar, residing in Little Lumber-street, Southwark.,
and Was in the habit of making short excursions into the coun-
try for the purpose of disposing of his ware. • In one of these
occasional taunts he had travelled as far as Chertscy, where, to
use his own phrase, he had " met with the hest luck he ever
had in his•life ' having disposed of the principal part of his
merchandise : 'he quitted •Chertsey on Monday- last, on -his re-
turn to LOndon, considerably elated by the profitable disposal
of his gdods, and with the wages of his industry in his pocket,
which were to be employed in the renewal of his hawker's li-
cense- Whichliad recently expired: About half past 10 o'clock
on Wednesday 7 night he entered on Wimbledon-common,
where he passed two men, who wished him a good night ; he
returned the compliment, ,aznd had proceeded about 50 yards
when he felt h cloth drawn over his eyes, and the strenuous
grasp of some per Sons who had come softly behind him and
seized him by the collar ; at the same instant he felt himself
cut severely over the face ; the cuts were repeated five times ;
overcome by excessive pain, he fell to the ground, and the in-
human monsters, Whose blood-thirsty dispositions were still in-
satiated, continued to inflict similar wounds on various parts of
his body ; they then proceeded to rifle his pocketh' and took
from him a small- box t ontaining. four 11. notes, and 295. fid. in
silver, some trinkets, and then made off, leaving him for dead.
In' his ' situation lie was fOrtUnately • discovered by James
Jagger, one Of.the horse patrole belonging to the Bow-street es-
tablishment, whose, attention had been arrested by the groans
uttered by Boseley. The unfortunate man was unable for a
length of time to account for his situation ; Jagger at last gained
from him a brief detail of the circumstances, and at this mo-
ment a hackney-coach paSsed along the road, the driver of
which Jagger charged With the care of Boseley, while he went
in pursuit of the delinquents ; he fell in with John Warren and
William Lee, twd -other of the horse patrole, whom he question-
ed as to their observance of any persons on the road, and hay_
ii learnt from them that they liad seen two men on the road
to Kingston, and one on the road to 'Wimbledon, he immedi-
ately dispatched them in pursuit of them, and in the space of
15 minutes they returned with the three prisoners in their cus-
tody. They were all three searched on the spot, but no part of
the property stolen from Boseley was found- on them. There
was a lapse of 20 minutes between the commission of the crime
and the apprehension of the prisoners, which afforded time for
secreting the property in any place where they might possess
I themselves of it at a future period less liable to detection.
A large clasp-knife was found on the prisoner Tuck.—The
prisoners were called upon for their defence, and Dando gave
• the following account, which we insert in his own words
live at Wimbledon.. lam a shoemaker. On Wednesday last
I-went up to London to purchase a small quantity of leather. I
left town about eight o'clock. on Wednesday night ; called. and
supped at' a friend's house at Wandsworth, which I quitted
about eleven o'clock. -As I passed up the hill in Wandsworth
I heard some persons talking, anti presently some person be-
hind, me called out and asked me where • I was going : I replied
to Wimbledon. The person said he should be glad to accom-
pany me, and Carpenter then came up to me. We pro-
ceeded together for a short distance, and Carpenter informed
me that he had a friend - 'behind, and he called and hallooed
twice, but nobody answered.,. We then went on, and soon
after I heard footsteps behind us on the road. I heard them
at intervals along • Wandsworth-lane : Carpenter anti I walked
slowly, expecting the man to overtake us, but he did not : we
then went on, and Tuck overtook us at the end of Wandsworth..
lane. Soon after I observed a man pass w4', who wished us'
pied-night; we did.the same.- We soon after this parted, and.
Tuck and Carpenter went on towards Kingston, and 1 to Wim-
blalon. I had not parted with them above 40 or 50 minutes
when Warren the patrol came riding after me, and asked me to
tome back. I thought he wanted my assistance for somethibg,
and I went back with him to the end of Wandsworth-lane,
where we waited till Ldc returned with the two prisoners, Car-
penter and Tuck'.

Mr. BinxiE then stated; that he felt satisfied as to the vera-
city of Dando, and that he should admit him as evidence against
the other two prisoners.- He was Subsequently sworn as to the
truth of his statement. The other two prisoners denied any
knowledge of the transaction. They were committed for re-
examination on Monday next. A quantity of leather was found
in the possession of Dando at the time of his apprehension.

COFFEE SlTOPS.—Yesterday bills were issued
'roil) the Police Offices, in order to be. distri-

tinted to various proprietors of shops or rooms
for the sale of, or under the pretence of selling
ready-made coffee, with a copy of the ISth sec-
tion of the Act of Parliament, passed in the late
Session, entitled an Act for the more effectual
administration of the Office of a Justice of the
Peace, in or near the Metropolis, &c. which re-
requires that shops or rooms of the above de-
scription, shall not be kept open after eleven
o'clock at night, during any part of the year, nor
opened before the hour of four in the morning,
between Lady-day and Michaelmas, or before
six in the mottling between Michaelmas and

Lady-day, and if shut up with persons inside
during these hours, except persons dwelling
therein, the owners will be tined 101. on con-
viction, and in default of payment, sent to hard
labour for three month.

A FEW 'MORE FRIENDLY HINTS, RECOMMEND-
ED TO THE SERIOUS ATTENTION OF GE-
NUINE PROTESTANTS.
. .
Black Rock, Thursday Morning, July 19, 1821.
GENTLEMEN—When a -Civil War became inevitable at
Rome, Julius Caesar published -a Declaration, that he should
treat-all as Friends who did not appear in arms against him ;
Pompey, on the contrary, 'that lie should consider all who did
not unite with -hint, as eneinies ; and this latter resolution,
Gentleinen, " however only in a literary sense," is my decided
intention to persevere in, so long as there shall appear to be an
impolitic and most presumptimus attempt to humble, and
finally subvert the Hierarchy, and Protestant Church Esta-
blishment of Ireland. Already have Parliamentary Grants, to
'the amount of eighteen thouiand a year, leens:4:o-irrawr from
the support of our great Protestant Palladiums, whilst not
a farthing has been deducted froM those' too liberal supplies
annually
.voted for the encouragement and exaltation of the
Popish Church. A general System of.' National Education
has been digested and matured on Sectarian principles, and
largely endowed, whilst the Bible Society, embracing. every
Religious Sect, from the vurified Antinomianist to the serious
and orthodox Charles Grant, (the pious Economist of the
House of Industry), is extending its ramifications throughout
every part of the country, and in active co-operation with the
whole Corps Diplomatique of Saints—is determined, if it can-
not make Public Orators and Stage Mountebanks of the entire
of our Beneficed Clergy, at: least to try its hand in making-
Puritans, in defiance of the:Evangelizing plan of making Pros-
titutes of your Ultra-fanatical. wives, and your Ultra-nonsen-
sical daughters. If we -could- confine the effects of this
Psalm-singing phrenzy to a definite period, when we might
hope that, reason would be restored and true Religion vindi-
cated, 1 should be much amused in observing the political
manoeuvres of our enlightened Chief Secretary, for preserving
the purity of the Gospel-and the dignity of the Church Esta-
blishments in this part of the Empire,-- to guard the inviolable
rights of which, as forming tl a paramount part of the British
Constitution, he receives from the Treasury, if my information
is correct, an Annual Income of £6,000. A Foreigner perhaps
may ask, what does this grave and official Christian do for
this ?—I am too much hurried, Gentlemen, 'this morning, to
inform you in detail; however, I refer you for instruction to
that honest, disinterested, ex post facto Arithmetician and Finan-
cier, Sir John Newport, his late Industrious Ally ; but I will
say this much, that whilst he is employed, trusted, 'and paid
by .a Protestant Government, Mr. Grant every tie of
honour, consistency and principle--nay more, under the awful
and solemn sanction of an Oath, he is not, I insist upon it, at
liberty to encourage, much less to advance, the interest of any
other Church, or system of Religious Worship, but that of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of ;Ireland.—Does the Secre-
tary, I -demand then, perform this 'part of his Civil and
Official Trust ? I particularly ask the Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge, and the incorporated Society for Pro.
moting English Protestant Schools in this Country, in case my
old friend, Sir John, should be too much incensed at my for-
mer remarks on his own conduct, in place and Parliament, to
afford me an explicit answer.
I have only now, Gentlemen, leisure to remark, that there
appears to be a decided resolution taken, to humble and put
down the Protestant Episcopal Church in this Country. We
shall soon be defenceless, and have nothing to depend on for
our salvation, but the integrity of the House of Lords, and
the Constitutional virtue and firmness of our illustrious sup-
porter and friend, the Duke of York. That'part of the Pub-
lic Press which so ably vindicated -our cause, has been either
suppressed by official influence, or is at this moment perishing
by the gross and scandalous neglect and apathy,of the members
of the Established Church of Ireland; base and shameful has been
the degrading torpor of 'the greater part of that body in those
days, pregnant with infidelity and sectarianism. When I have
beheld with grief and horror the idolatrous doctrines of the
Church of Rome, under the flimsy, glittering, veil of Catholic
Emancipation, advocated by the Christian Ministers of the Gos-
pel of 'Christ, and when I have contemplated, with equal in-
dignation and disgust, the dignified, the learned, the pious
and the venerated Primate of the Apostolic and Established
Church, rudely dragged from his Pottering Throne, by the in-
sulting and daring hands, of taunting Sectarians, to be made
a stalking horse for the jests and ribaldry of, possibly, Evan-
gelical Pettifoggers, and under the hypocritical pretence of
vindicating the injured rights of a more than suspected Dis-
sentient to our Holy Establishment (if evidence is to be cre-
dited), a death-blow is directed against the very existence of our
Episcopal Ascendancy, by aiming the poisoned and insidious
shaft of malevolence and Republicanism to the heart of the
purest, most virtuous, and most unassuming Prelate that ever
filled the Metropolitan Chair of Ireland. Gentlemen, it may
form, at a future day of . penitence and remorse, for your pre-
sent apathy and indifference,. a question for the Churchman' to
investigate, what is the precise form of religion that 111 n Grant
professes himself to be a Disciple of; lie appears to- me to he
actuated by a determined and inveterate hostility to the Esta-
blished Church of my Country, and although we are inforMed,
through the last Pastoral Instructions of no less a personage
than Doctor Troy, that "the encouragement and support of
the Popish Church is open and unequivocally avowed by the Go-
vernment of 'lreland, and the t the Census now taking is for the
express purpose of exalting the Popish Hierarchy upon the ruins
of the Established Faith ;" yet sufficient evidence is not ad-
duced to authenticate the fact, that our Chief Secretary has a
determined predilection for any well ascertained System of Re-
ligious Worship, perhaps, as is jiAtly observed by that able and
ii-rdefe.tigable Guardian of our Privileges, the Anti-Jacobin
Review, " that like too many others now filling the Executive
Offices in the State, he is an honorary Professor of all Reli-
gions ; and if he were stationed at Bengal or Madras (where 1
wish with all my heart and soul he was) he would be equally so-
licitous, lest Christianity should supplant the once vaunted
Faith of the pious, the unresisting Ilindoo." And the Reviewers
have been induced to draw this conclusion, from perceiving" that •
the Popish Priesthood are equally hostile,to the Schools he would '
seem to recommend as to those which he condemns." I leave
this enigma to old 'Newport and the Bible Society—l have
nothing to do with Mr. Grant's Creed, not being either an
Evangelical or, AS YET, a Popish Priest; but as the humble,
yet firm adVocate of the Protestant Established Church of my
country, I will scrutinize his political conduct with, a steady
and impartial eye, and I will defeat his ill-edged religious
attempts, if I can. I meet him as a public character alone ;
I respect him in private life—l believe him to be honourable,
and of inflexible-integrity ; but judging of him by his acts, I
incompetent
as him, as I have long since done, to be
as a Minister, and whilst 'I willingly pay every degree of
homage to his sincerity as an individual, I should badly dis-

charge my duty to-my country, if I did not unaquivoeally
declare him to be politically unsuited to his .situation as Chief
• Secretary for Ireland.- With these observations I have for
the present done with Mr. Grant—l bp:ar him no enmity,' but
I am alarmed by his measures, and disgusted by his plans for
tranquillizing this country, when their • consequences will ine-
vitably. tend to cherish and foment, instead of alleviating Pro-
testant irritation. •
Gentlemen, my chief object at this mohrent is to impress in
the, most powerful manner , upon your apprehensions the
absolute necessity there is, and particularly for the sound part
of the Beneficed Clergy, to shake off the disgraceful lethargy
that'seems 'to Overwhelm even their- factiltie§ of vision and of
sense. The Roman Catholics and other, sectarians have an
able and enlightened press to support their interests, .and one
of 'the most honourable, energetic', and talented men in the -
empire, Mr. O'Connell, to :advocate their- Claims—the Esta-
blished Church has not one single independent journal in Ire-
land but one, which is confined by its local situation, and still
farther circumscribed by the dishonourable and insidious machi-
nations of the Papists themselves, I mean the Cavan Herald.—
It appears to be the wish of certain men, unfortunately in
power, to silence even those journals in our cause, who now
partially, " and with fear they are obliged to do it, nor can
they be blamed," defend our rights. Above forty Papers in
Ireland support popery andfanaticism. Will the Members of'
the Established Church tell me that they will not summon uP
the spirit necessary. to uphold'even one, in the capital of their
Country. ? Deep and serious is my -concern when I inform
you, that Saturday next will close tne existence ,of our List en-
lightened and constitutional defender, the arde‘that
ad-
mirable Journal, which, only ten days back, • I so strongly re'-'
commended to the protection and favour of the Established
Church-that Weekly Paper, which during the short period of
its career, has so ably defended the Church of Ireland—even
this sevenfold shield of our holy faith is obliged to yield to the
ultra liberal spirits of the times, and injts fall buries with it
the character, the religious, fervour, and the fame of the Minis-
ters of the Gospel of our Redeemer, for soon now will all
be put down. Unthinking, short sighted, parsimonious men,
deserting your insulted Prelates, whom you .behold dragged like
culprits into Courts of Justice, yet struggling to 'the. last to up-
hold the faith of CHRIST against the sworn enemies of baptis-
mal regeneration ; yet you, the beneficed Clergy of Ireland, re-
fused to hold out an arm to protect their pious, their vener-
able head from future insult and derision, through the only le-
gitimate Channel the Constitution invests you with, a well or-
ganised, a zealous, and an efficient Press. How can I, armed,
as I am, with the cheers and the enthusiasm of England, avith
the conversions of Irish Papists, and the humiliation and defeat
of the enemies of your King and Country, attempt to influence.,
or rouse into Constitutional Action, such timid or selfish Pro-
tectors of an insulted Creed. Of all men living, lam autho-
rized to hold this strong language to you, who have risqued
my. life in your service—who 'have consumed in your cause,
within the last sixteen months, Hundreds upon Hundreds of
Pounds—who have reduced my establishment' of 'Servants—
sold off my Horses, my sole and only source of relaxation
and of amusement—given up or disposed of every thing that'
once interested and occupied those few hours in the four and
twenty I could devote to lighter pursuits, to enable me to raise
means for defending the interests of the Established Church,
and for protecting the Sacred Characters of my revered Prelates
from insult. I have this right of all men, and I will use it, in
defiance of your censures. -I asked you for the mighty contri-
bution-of thirty shillings a year, to uphold one of the ablest
Papers ever edited in your cause, the Warder, and you declined,
from unmanly fear, or vile subserviency to Castle influence, to
come forward, and the consequence is, you will now be left un-
protected, and unpitied—aye, unpitied even by me, your great
Advocate and Champion, who has humbled Popery to the dust,
and driven the most intolerant of its Professors out of your
Country, exposed and terrified. That man, who had the daring
insolence to publish, on the sth of February last, and to circu-
late 'a letter amongst the Subjects of a Protestant King, in
which lie asserted, that he would not sign the fifth Resolution,
" as agreed on, and signed by the three other Vicars Aposto-
lic, and the Roman Catholics of England," because he was the
Agent of:the Irish Titular Bishops; and why do, you think
these conscientious Prelates of ours, the Professors of Mr.
O'Connell's Ancient Faith of Ireland, objected to Dr. Milner's
Signature being Litttached ? I will tell you, Gentlemen, and
attend to it, ye despicable Advocates for Unrestricted and Reli-
gious Liberty—ye contemptible Representatives of forty shilling
Popish Freeholders, as the most important information I ever
laid before you. As Agent for the Irish Bishops, 1 assert then
(on the testimony of Dr. Poynter, Vicar Apostolic in the South-
ern District of the Roman Catholics of England, whose letter to
Cardinal Litta, Prefect of the College de Propaganda Fide, at

Rome, I have read) that Or. Milnei: objected' to-siga that Re-
solution, because, had he done so, as he stated, (and attend to
this, I implore you,) he would have consented by a given
pledge, for adequate Provisions to be made for the support of
Protestant Religious Institutions. Is Mr. Grant aware of this
fact ? Is Lord Londonderry, with the Pope at his back, and
Canning, the Poet Laureat of the House of Commons, on his
shoulders, conscious of this damning exposure of toleration in-
tended for us, insulted Protestants, when their Plans of Eman-
cipation, • now fast disclosing themselves, shall be carried into
effect.—Milner had informed Lord Clifford and Mr. Weld,
who had inquired of him, that they, as English Catholics,
might
,sign their names, but that if he himself was to
sanction the resolution, in his capacity of Irish Agent, he
would offend the Popish Priesthood here ; and what seemed
still more to alarm this worthy Friar, " that he would be roasted
in effigy, as he said he was once before." This excellent fellow
would, perhaps, as a stubborn Papist, have no great objection to
an auto, de fe of Protestants, but the most distant approach of
a faggot to his titular Lordship's hinder part, even in -Febru-
ary, put him in a fever,with three feet of snow-on the ground—
so much for. Popish Religious Liberty. Now, Gentlemen,
you know a part. of your danger, and it depends upon your-
selves, whether you will ever have more information on the•
subject from me : I have no longer a channel of communica-
tion, unless by. a continued expenditure I cannot afford.
-hope the venerated Heads of my Church will believe that I
have been alone actuated by an awful sense of the imminent
perils that surround use and an ardent wish, in defiance of
every threat of peril, to discharge my duty to them and the
Established Church. If you chuse'to snake off the diagraceethl

of the Altar, the Throne, and the Constitution of your Coun-
try, and thrmigh the Press alone can they be legitimaiely

the deplorable want of which, on your parts, I can assure
you, has called forth, and juatly, the . strong censures of
the purest and most constitutional Patriots 'in England, on a
late occasion. The Gentlemen who will conduct this Paper
shall have my support and unremitting patronage, and we may

spirit being once roused," and liberally supported as A three-
day, or, even a daily Dublin Journal, to whose existence, as a
weekly 'Journal, I do not believe twenty. of the Established
Clergy of Ireland, including the entire, with my humble untie,

their. Establishment.
