were examined, and it appeared from then-statement, that the
prisoner had been shooting sparrows in a -field adjoining Stingo-
lane, Marylebone, and had placed airiark m the hedge that se-
parates the field from the lane, at which he discharged his piece,
and owing to its being levelled above the hedge, part of the
contents struck the witnesses,-Stevens and Whiiehora, the for-
mer in the face, and the latter in the, legs, who were_ passing
along the lane. The Worthy Magistrate gave him. a severe
reprimand, in which he pointedputto him the dreadful conse-
quences that were likely to ensue from the careless discharge of
fire arms near any public highway, and then ordered him to
find bail for the misdemeanor, which he being unable to do, was
accordingly committed to prison.

house of a Mr Elmore was broken open and robbed of two gold
..
watches, diamond ear-rings, and other articles of jewellery, tO,
the amount of more than 2001., but no information was had

fellows were convicted of a burglary at a jeweller's at Bright4n,,

mouth, preparatory to their being shipped for .Botany Bayer

prits, stating, that he and his two companions, in guilt, saw the
persons who broke into his house, and stole the property, which
was sold to Mr._.__,. who keeps a silversmith's shop in very
extensile trade. The articleSwere stated in-the letter, to bate

inquiry circumstances transpired which corroborated the state-
ment in the convict's letter, and asearch warrant was graiittti'
to search the jeweller's house. A perfect description of the pro-
perty was given, even to a flaw upon one of -the-stones, and se- -
veral articles were found in the • jeweller's possession, which
were described before -Mr. Elmore saw. thetn, and lookin, at

LONDON MAIL TO Cucsrca.--Mr. Jou.ssOs7
a most active and intelligent.ge,ntlernan, who. hais

arty-,
some time' been zealously eriipioied in

districts. In Many places the beneficial results
of his improvements -have be'e'n' `sensibly "felt. -I.tf.

Chester was included in the, ktrmber of places
intended to be benefitied by this arrangerno't;
by which it was proposed, that 'the mail shoul".,
arrive here at six instead of ten. We understand
a meeting of the-Coach Proprietors- has lat6lsrf
been held at Northampton, for the ;purpose -f)
carrying this purpose into effect ; but it seems'
the object is at present defeated, by their on+v-il•
ingness to -comply with -thk. accelerates,' moth) h!
without additional pecuniary eompensation.
