The frequency or burglaries in the vicinity of
Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, has become truly alarm-
ing ; scarcely a night now passes without at least some
attempt at housebreaking in that quarter. Within a ra-
dius of about 100 yards er less, including Bennet-street,
there have been four or five houses entered during the
space of a week past. The thieves break through the
back part of the premises by means of a centre-bit, and
take away plate and valuables of a small size. At a house
in Bennet-street (where two robberies have been committed
since Friday), the thieves coolly helped themselves to some
wine from the cellar to refresh them whilst at their work.
No blame seems fairly imputable to the parochial autho-
rities of Christ Church, who have adopted a new system
of watching, by which boxes are removed, and every part
of the district is visited by a watchman each quarter of an
hour. Patrols are employed to keep the watchmen atten-
tive to their duty, and an active night constable superin-
tends the whole. It is, nevertheless, since this new sys-
tem has been introduced that these depredations have
become so frequent. Surely there must he some defect in
the general police of the country (for a local police, how-
ever excellent, is necessarily limited in its powers), which
justifies serious complaint, when dwellings in the metro-
polis are at the mercy of miscreants who carry on their
system of niouder almost sightly without molestation,

MANSION-HOUSE.---DESTERATE PREPARATIONS
FOR DUELLING.—A hair-dresser, who resides in the
neighbourhood of Somerset-street, was charged by his
wife, under the following extraordinary circumstances,
before the Lotto MAYOR
The complainant, upon her return home to her lodgings
in the evening, after transacting some business, was told
that her husband had gone up stairs with a large duelling or
horse-pistol, and the ingredients for doing something despe-
rate. Presently she heard the report of fire-arms, and she
alarmed the neighbourhood. An officer immediately entered
and proceeded to the defendant's room, in the expectation of
finding him a corpse, but, to his astonishment, he found the
hair-dresser very coolly charging his pistol, in order to fire
at a piece of paper which was fixed against the wall.
There was already a bullet-mark in the wall, but at such
a distance from the target as proved that the marksman
was not a very skilful hand. The Officer took the pistol
from him, and asked him what, in the name of God, he
meant by firing it in the bouse,? To this question he made
no reply. He did not appear disposed to act violently, and
consented to go to the watch house at once. His wife's
alarm for him, as well an for herself, induced her to charge
him, and leave him under the protection of the venerable
constable of the watch, and all she now wanted was, to
have him home as soon as possible, as several
.gentlemen
wanted to be shaved.

Mr. Hobler (to the wife)—Pray, Ma'am, what colour
was the powder ?—(Laughter.)
• The defendant's wife said that it was black, of course, like
all gunpowder.
Mr. Hobler—What business has he with gunpowder?
Let him stick to the powder whose qualities lie understands
best ; white powder, or good flour.—(Laughter.)
The LORD Maros—My good fellow, what did you mean
by going on in that strange way ; did you mean to ki!i
anybody?
Defendant—l meant no harm, my Lord; but I was in-
sulted, and I was preparing to defend myself.
The LORD MAYOR—But why did you practice in a
room ? It was enough to frighten your poor wife out of
her life.
Defendant—lt could do no harm, for the wall was
double, and the ball couldn't go through to the next house,
and there was nobody but myself in the room, so that no-
body worth while could he hurt.—(Laughter.)
One of the crowd—My Lord, he was going to tight a
"dooel " with another gentleman!.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Hobler—To fight a duel ! aye, with a couple of
puffs. No, no, my friend, don't fight ; or, if you do, fight
white; blow powder at your antagonist until you make
him as pale in the face as a sheet.—(Loud laughter.)
The Loan MAYOR—What offence has been given you,
my friend? If you have been struck we'll grant you a
summons, or, if you are afraid of violence, we'll protect you.
Defendant—Afraid ! no, no, my Lord ; but I have been
grossly insulted !
The LORD MAYOR—But if you go on in this way, with
such desperate weapons, nobody will like to put himself
tinder your hands, as the principal weapon of your trade is
a dangerous one.—(Laughter.)

Mr: Holler asked thedefenClant's wife whether she was
afraid of him ? She replied that she had not the slightest
dread of him in any respect.
The I.oßn MAYOR-Then you may take him home with
you, but he must leave his firearms here. .

- The defendant said he never wished to see the pistol
again, hut declared that he Enerely intended to use it upon
being attacked.

GUILDHALL.—John Kean was re-examined yester..
day before Mr. Alderman FARFEROTHER, on smipiciou of
Lacingobtained goods tinder false pretences from 'rations
parties.
_

The prisoner had teen remanded, that further evidence
might be adduced upon the charges already stated, but no
such evidence was tendered.

A new charge, however, was tendered by Mr. Edwards,
a woollen-draper in Regent-street, who stated, that in
1827 he supplied some cloth to the prisoner while he was
carrying on business as a tailor in Rathbone-place, in pay-
ment for which he received three hills of exchange, and
not one of them proved worth a farthing. He hail heard
the prisoner was in custody accidentally since he had come
into the city that morning, and was not prepared to pro-
duce the bills or to state the particulars of them; but he
belieVed one of them, for 141., was accepted by a Mr.
Parker, a boat-builder, in '.the Horseferry-road, and
anotherfor the like. sum by Mr. Roberts, of Northampton-
square. He had no recollection of the third bill, but the
parties to neither of them could be found when the bills
came to maturity.
Mr. Alderman FAninnontEa said, be should have an
opportunity of producing the bills on a future day, and in
the mean time he might inquire particularly whether the
names on them were those of real or fictitious personages.
The magistrate asked Brand, the marshalman, what had
been the result of his inquiries as to the three bills found on
the prisoner's person.
Brand said, the bills were drawn upon a David Dickin-
son, of Boston, one for 20/. the other two for 1001. each ;
and one of the latter was made payable ft Messrs. Young
and Co., bankers, Smithfield. On inquiring there, he
was told that they had an account with John Dickinson,
but they knew nothing of David ; and from their knowledge
of the place, they felt convinced there was no David Dick-
inson carrying on business as a grazier there.
Mr. Wooler, for the prisoner, put in a letter from David
Dickinson himself, received by post, in answer to one writ-
ten by the prisoner on Saturday last, and lie had two per-
sons from.Beston then in court to prove that there was
such a roan in existence, but until the Alderman decided
that one or other of the cases would authorize a commit-
ment, he would not enter upon any defence.
_ _

Mr. Alderman FAREancTHEn. called for one of the bills
in the hands of the complainant, to compare the writing
with the letter, and with that upon other bills, and then
asked if the prisoner was prepared to shew that there was
such a person as George Kean, who appeared to be the
drawer td one of them.
Mr. Wooler restrained the prisoner from answering.

Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHEa consulted the clerks in
an under tone upon getting the evidence of the postmaster
at Boston that there was no David Dickinson there, and
committing the prisoner on suspicion of forgery.
The prisoner said he would facilitate the inquiry after
David by giving his address. Be lived at Edward Dickin-
son's, Falcon-square, Boston. The bills found on him had
been accepted by David as an accommodation to enable pri-
soner to pay for the lease of a house in Fetter-lane which he
had purchased of Mr. Simpson, of Cornhill. One of the 1001.
bills bad been made payable on Messrs. Sharpe and Son,
bankers, Smithfield, which firm had at the time ceased to
carry on business there, and Mr. Simpson therefore re-
jected it. A second bill for the same amount was imme-
diately prepared, and made payable .at Messrs. Young's,
but Mr. Simpson preferred taking prisoner's own accept-
ances for the required amount. The 1001. bills therelore
remained in prisoner's hands. He afterwards sold the
house to Mr. Courteney, a cheesemonger, in Fetter-lane,
who paid the purchase-money to Mr. Simps.m, and Mr.
Simpson gave prisoner an undertaking to provide for his
acceptances as they became due.
The Arsretotalcaiked if he had brought Mr. Simpson
to corroborate this statement?—Prisoner bad not, but he
banded in Mr. Simpson's undertaking.
After some conversation as to whether the first charge
brought against the prisoner respecting the skins was not
the strongest to commit upon, as all the others appeared to
be defective, or out of the Magistrate's jurisdiction, the
prisoner was remanded till Monday.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Sarah Martin and
Mary Ann Storer, two girls of the town, were brought
charged with a violent outrage on
a young lady of respecta-
before Mr. MAnittorr,
Camden-town, and also

at,
robbing her of a cornelian locket.

, The complainant stated, that on the previous evening
she was returning from a friend's house at Clapham, and
being unable to procure a stage, she had walked all the way,
which made her rather late. As she was proceeding home
up Parliament-street, between the Horse Guards and
Charing-cross, the two prisoners and another woman came
up to her, and abused her in the grossest language. She
hurried on, to endeavour to aveid them, being greatly
alarmed, when the prisoner Martin struck her a violent
blow on the side of the head, which broke her bonnet, and
at the same time switched at her brooch, which she broke
off, and almost strangled her, by pulling a riband which
st4e wore round her neck. During the time; the other
prisoner struck her several violent blows on the back.
Witness saw Martin pass the brooch to the other woman,
who was not in custody. Fearful that she should be

The watchman deposed to taking the prisoner Martin
into custody, and the other followed him all the way to the
watch-house, and it was with the greatest difficulty he
could protect the young lady from her violence; as soon as
he got assistance he had her secured.
Henry Duly, the night constable, deposed to the violent
conduct of both prisoners when brought into the watch-
house, particularly the female Starer, who, while he was
taking the charge, seized the young lady's bonnet and tore
it in pieces, using at the same time the most disgusting
language. He knew her to be one of the most desperate
women in Westminster.
The prisoners conducted themselves with the greatest
effrontery. but said nothing in defence.
Mr. Maartrorr ordered them to be fully committed
to Newgate for trial, and the parties to be bound over to
prosecute.
BOW-STREET.—Blcastr.--A respectable looking
man, named Danvers, applied to the sitting Magistrates,
Sir RICIIARD BIANIE and Mr. HALLS, for a warrant
against his wife, to whom be had been married some time,
but whose former husband (William Burns) was now found
to be living.
Mr. HALLs—If you have any proof of this, we have no
objection to grant a warrant. Applicant—l am prepared
to prove her marriage with Burns, which took place at St.
Sepulchre's in 1813.
Mr. Haus—Oh, very well. Pray, bow have you re-
ceived the information ? Applicant—l can produce a let-
ter from Burns himself, in which he states all particulars.
I can produce the certificate of their marriage, wherein she
is called Elizabeth Hutchins ; but from information I have
received, which I think I may rely upon, I understand I
shall be able to procure half a dozen other certificates of
her marriages, although under different names.
Mr. HALLS—That is no matter, if she can be identified
as the same person. Applicant—l think whatever day
she appears before your worship, I shall be able to prove
more cases than one against her.
Mr. HALLS expressed a wish to assist him in this affair,
and granted a warrant for that purpose.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday this office
was crowded, in consequence of the re-examination of John
Thomas Hopkinson, alias _Barrow. The prisoner is a
young man about 27 years of age, (as well as the age of
one of his colour can be gnesed at), of a copper hue, with
black woolly hair, about 5 feet 7 inches in height, well
made, and fashionably dressed, and, as if labouring under
a fit of the gout, on this occasion wore a boot on one foot
only, and a red morocco leather slipper on the other. It
appeared that when he obtained goods, he kept himself as
much as possible out of the sight, and wrote notes to the
different tradespeople whom be felt disposed to dupe, simi.
lar to that which appeared in the Times of Monday last,
as addressed by him to Miss Hopton, the bonnet-maker in
Oxford-street, in the name either of Mr. llopkinson, the
respectable banker in Regent-street, or Mr. Hopkinson,
an equally respectable gentleman, residing at Grove Cot-
tage, Cambridge, varyinr, only the name of the person
addressed, the nature of the goods required, and the ad-
dress to which they were to be sent ; and all the trades-
people in attendance yesterday, with few exceptions, pro-
duced, as their first introduction to the bench, a letter of
this description, dated either from No. 2, Euston-grove,
New-road ; Park-road, St. John's-wood; Benfield-park,
Hants ; Cowley-grove, Uxbridge ; or Holborn-court-
chambers, Gray's-inn.
A solicitor who attended for some of the complainants
said, that before any of the cases were gone into, he begged
to state, that he knew i‘Tr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, very
well, who was a most respectable gentleman ; and that the
prisoner at the bar was not one of that family, or in the
least like them either in person or character ; anti it wa
quite unnecessary for him to state that the family of 114.5
Hopkinson, the banker, was equally untainted by any con-
nexion with, or knowledge of, the prisoner.
The first complainant was Mr. Lambert, a livery-stable-
keeper in Lincoln's-inn-fields, who stated, that on the let
of May last, the prisoner came in persen to his stables,
and represented himself to be Mr. Hopkinson, Lof Grove-
cottage, Cambridge—that he wanted the use of a horse
for hire for twelve months, and such a one as he could
either ride or drive in harness—that he would still keep
the horse there at livery, and pay monthly for the use of
it. He gave his address " Holborn-chambers, Gray's-inn,"
and referred for his character and respectability to Sir Ni-
cholas Tindal, the present Solicitor-General. Witness
agreed to let the prisoner have a mare worth 30 guineas,
which in fact lie took away the next day, and never after
returned, nor was any thing heard of the prisoner until
the following Ascot Heath Races, where he was seen with
the mare. Witness inquired about the prisoner at Sir Ni-
cholas Tindal's, and he understood when he first sent to
inquire, that the servants said there was 'such a person as
the prisoner intimate with the family; but when he sub-
sequently went himself, he found it was a mistake, and
that Sir Nicholas Tindal knew nothing of such a man as
the prisoner. Witness said that he afterwards got hack
his mare, in a manner that Mr. Hyder, a coach-maker in
Oxford-street, could better describe.

Air. Hyder said, that about the 2d or 3d of May the pri-
soner came to him, and represented himself to be Mr.
Hopkinson, of Cambridge, and said that he wanted a
handsome Stanhope made, he did not care about price, so
as it was an elegantly finished one. Lie had bee❑ recom-
mended, he said, by Mr. Massesbourgh, of Cambridge,
and as he (Mr. Hyder) had only the week before com-
pleted a carriage for Mr. Massenbourgh, who is a highly
respectable gentleman, he thought he could not have a bet-
ter introduction, and while the new one was building be
let the prisoner have for immediate use a Stanhope worth
about 501., which he drove away the next day with Mr.
Lambert's horse. Witness went in the first instance to
Mr. Lambert's, where the prisoner told him he kept his
horse, and Mr. Lambert certainly told hint, on inquiring
the prisoner's character, " that all was right," at least he
(Mr. Hyder) understood so at the time, and that the pri-
soner was acquainted with the family of Sir Nicholas
; but this, it seems, afterwards turned out to be a
mistake. Witness, however, heard nothing more of the
prisoner until he happened one day during the last Ascot
races to be at Windsor, where lie accidentally learned that a
person answering the description of the prisoner, with a
horse end chaise answering to the description of those
missing, was stopping at one of the inns there, but
that the chaise, .horse, and driver, were just then on
the race-course for the day at Ascot-heath. To the
heath accordingly the witness went, and he was not
long there when he observed the prisoner driving about
at a dashing rate in his gig, and with Mr. Lam-
bert's horse. He made up to the prisoner as quickly as
he could, and seizing him, gave him, the gig, and the
horse into the custody of a country constable, to keep
charge of while he (Mr. Hyder) went about the course to
look for Sir Richard Birnie, to have his advice as to how
lie had best proceed ; but when be came back to where he
had left the prisoner, constable, horse, and gig, all had
vanished, and it afterwards appeared that the prisoner bad
bribed the constable to let hit► go and drive off with the
horse and gig. Witness having, however, learned that the
prisoner set off with the gig and horse towards Egham, he
(Mr. Hyder) pursued that road on foot, and never stopped
until he came to Egham, where he found that the prisoner
had already arrived. Here a Mr. Powel, 11, horse-dealer,
who resides at Egham, interfered, Mr. Hyder said, and
possessed himself of the gig and horse, saying,
.that he had
lent the prisoner 121. upon them, and he should not part
with theM until that sum was paid, and when he (Mr.
Hyder) said that he should insist on getting back his gig,
both the prisoner and Powel put themselves in fighting
attitudes, and threatened to thresh him. In the cud, how-
ever, Powel, on learning the real nature of the transaction,
said that he would suffer one-third of the loss of 121., and
if Mr. Hyder would give him 41., and Mr. Lambert 41.
more, he would give them up the horse and gig, which was
ultimately agreed to, and thus Mr. L'►►nbert recovered his
mare, and he (Mr. Hyder) got back his gig.
The prisoner, in reply to this case, said that it was ut-
terly false in Mr. Powel to say that he bad lent him 121.
on the gig and horse. The fact, be said, was, that he
went to Egham en a visit, by invitation, during the Ascot
Races, to Mr. Powers house ; and if Mr. Hyder and Mr.
Lambert were fools enough to give Mr. Powel 4/. each for
nothing at all, that was no fault of his (the prisoner's.)
Mr. DYER ordered that this case should stand over, and
that Mr. Powel should be summoned to attend at this
office, and state what he knows of this transaction, which
at present bears rather an awkward appearance for the
prisoner.
The next ca,e was that of Mr. Wells, a saddler, in Tet.

tenharn-court-road, of whom the prisoner obtained a set of
harness, in the name of Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge, and
which was sent to Park-road, St. John's-wood.
The next was Mr. Greeu, the proprietor of Wills's
coffee-house, Serle-street, Lincoln's-ins-fields, who re•
ceived a note from the prisoner, stating that he had a
party of friends to dine with him that day, and that he had
only just then discovered that his stack of wine was nearly
exhausted, and that he wanted for instant use half a dozen of
Port, ditto Claret, ditto Sherry, ditto Bucellas, ditto
Brandy, all of the very best quality, and such as he (Mr.
Green) was in the habit of supplying to Sir Charles We-
therell, the Attorney-General, who had recommended the
writer to Mr. Green. This letter was brought by the
man-servant of the prisoner, who said, as indeed also did
the letter, that this was only part of a largo order which
Mr. Hopkinson intended to give the next day, when the
whole would-be paid for, provided this sample was ap-
proved of. The wine, &c. was accordingly sent by the
porter, who was accompanied by the prisoner's servant to
No. 2, Euston-grove, where it was delivered, as supposed,
for Mr. Hopkinson, of Cambridge. Inquiry was afterwards
made of Sir Charles Wetherell, who of course knew nothing
of the prisoner. Mr. Green said that he now recollected
the prisoner used to come to his house some years ago
when he lived in the service of Mr. Serjeant Rough, at
No. 36, Lincoln's-inn-fields, for wines and other things
for his master's use ; and on comparing some of the
prisoner's hand-writing, which he, Mr. Green, had at that
time, with this note from Euston-grove, the writing- ap-
peared to be the same.
Mr. Butterworth. the bookseller, in Fleet. street, said
that he had twice been addressed by the prisoner by letter,
once as Mr. I3arrow, a friend, as he represented, of Mr.
Zachary Macauley, and lately again as Mr. Hopkinson, of
Cambridge, a friend to Mr. Ray, a gentleman well-known
to Mr. Butterworth. This last letter appeared to be
written in a different hand from the first, but in both in-
stances the prisoner obtained some book.
Several persons stepped forward, who said that they
had seen the prisoner write, to inspect these letters, but
none of them could speak positively to their being in his
hand-writing.
Mr. Nettleton, a tailor, had supplied the prisoner so
late as the Ist of August, he said, with a suit of livery
and other articles for his servant, which were delivered at
No. 2, Euston-grove.
Mr. Kerson, a cutler, in Piccadilly, was another suf-
ferer in the way of several sets of cutlery, &c.
Mr. Marsh, another coach-maker, said feat he had,
with little advantage, supplied the prisoner with a sten-
hope which he never saw since.
George %%'ebb, the toll-collector at Battle-bridge-gate,
said that he came to prefer a charge against the prisoner
for driving over him at the above gate, he had little doubt
in the above stanhope of Mr. Marsh ; to avoid the toll the
prisoner drove through the gate at full speed, knocked him
(Webb) down, and so disabled him that this was the first
day he was able to come out.
The prisoner was ordered to be detained on this charge
of assault if all others should fail, and notice given to Webb.
A person from the Society of Gray's-inn stated that the
prisoner hired chambers belonging to the Inn in Holborn-
court, as Mr. Hopkinson of Cambridge, and referred to
Sir Nicholas Tindal for his respectability, but he was very
soon found out to be a swinel:er, and he was turned out of
the chambers, which were taken possession of by force,
although he kept them locked, and has ever since retained
the key. After he took the chanahers, not an hour in the
(lay elapsed that tradespeople of all descriptions were not
sending their goods there ; but when the Society disco-
vered what the prisoner really was, they placed a porter at
the entrance to the chambers to caution every one who
came not to leave their property, and in this way many
hundred.' north of goods were saved.
A gentleman came forward, and stated that he knew the
prisoner in Demerara many years ago ; he was then an under
clerk to a Mr. Holmes, a barrister there, and afterwards
held some situation with Mr. Serjeant Rough. The pri-
soner's real name, this gentleman said, is Barrow, and not
Hopkinson. lie is a native of Barbadoes, and not of
Demerara.

Mr. DtiER...--4 know his name is Barrow, and although
he affected to he quite indignant with me the other day for
seeming to doubt that he ever was secretary either to Mr.
Serjeant Rough or to the President at Demerara, I now
know that he never was any thing at Demerara, but an
under clerk to Mr. Montague the barrister there, and before
that with somebody else, and latterly with Mr: Serjeant
Rough, in whose service he never held any situation but
that of a very inferior one indeed, and who at last dismissed
him altogether.
There were a vast number of other charges to be pre-
ferred against the prisoner, but the hour was so late that it
was impossible to get through them, and the prisoner was
again remanded to Wednesday next.
It was mentioned to Mr. Dyer that the prisoner sever
held the situation of private secretary to Mr. Sergeant
Rough, when that gentleman was Chief Justice of the Co-
lony, as Mr. Basil Montagu, son of the Chancery Barrister,
filled that post, and the prisoner was a clerk in the latter
gentleman's office. His father was a native of this coun-
try, and settled at Demerara, where he married a female of
colour, and the prisoner is a mulatto. The following are
the principal circumstances attending the prisoner's ab-
duction of a young lady named Daniels, the daughter of
the Rev. Mr. D--, a gentleman residing in Pad-
dington accidentally encountered Miss D-, in the
Regent's Park, about three years ago, and his insinuating
address prevailed on the unfortunate young lady to grant
him several private interviews, in the course of which he
succeeded in captivating her affections. A week or two after
the commencement of their acquaintance, he wrote a letter
to her, in which he intreated her to fly with him to the
Continent. The young lady determined on not withdraw-
ing from the protection of her friends, and at her next in-
terview with Barrow, she acquainted him with the line
of conduct she intended to adopt. Barrow then solicited
her to pay a visit to his aunt, who lived in Leicester-
square, and he proceeded with his victim to the Sabloniere
Hotel, in Leicester-square, where he took such improper
freedoms with her person, that the waiters interfered, and
he then took ber to the Key, in Chandos-street, Covent-
garden, where he said " the people were not so particular."
At this place he ordered refreshments, and it is alleged
that lie infused a narcotic drug in a glass of wine, which
Miss D. drank. Whilst she was asleep lie accomplished
his purpose, after which he left the house, telling the land-
lord that " tlse young lady would pay the reckoning," and
never returned. He was apprehended on this charge by
the Rev. Mr. D., and examined before Sir G. FA 'marry,
who, after a long investigation, discharged him, Mr. D.
declining to follow up the prosecution.

TLIAMES-OFFICE.—A communication was yester-
day made at this office relative to the death, by drowning,
of a female, under circumstances involving some mystery.
Mr. Evans, the chief officer, was desired to snake in-
quiry. fie reported that on Tuesday morning, between
one and two o'clock, some persons, having charge of the
