his business, namely, in making lanternS for the
prosecutor
,at the prisoner's owh Louse, with rob-
bing him of a variety of articles.
The prosecutor stated, that he had for some time
su,peded the prisoner, having missed many articles,
and observing that the prisoner made'it a rule to tiring
home his work piece-meal, so as to have a great
number of errands to the prosecutor's' warehouse,
Whence the prosecutor bad reasoo to suspei he Ivid
availed himself of every opportunity which Offered,.
to carry off whatever presented itseif.--Yestcrday
the prisoner having brought home.some woTk,- was
watched, and alter leaving the warehouse was

lain articles which were the prosecutors property.

searched. . The first articlefound on. him was a tea-
pot, which the prisoner declared was'all he had;
next I was found a sthaller pot; and on a further
search was found a pint pot; all of which the pro.
sectUor was enabled to swear to, they being in their
original wrappers, having the prosecutor's private
murk upon them. From an anxiety evinced by the
prisonet to have notice, of his situation sent to his
In.:stings, the; prosecutor was impressed with the '
idea that lome additional pools of the prisoner's
guilt might he found. He accordingly went to H
Orlic,, and :had a search warrant, in

A most singular and
.miraculous escape from im-
minent danger took place on Monday:the i6th ult.
A boy, $A h.)se age to appearance, may be from 1.5 to
years, who is also a little 'deficient in intelleEts,
on the sabbath night preceding, owing to some
threats from his parents, who, reSide near Brodick
Bay, in Arian ran Off to the shore, got into a
small boat, and pushed out to Sea, without either
sad, oar, or rudder, and as he went off unobs'erved,
lio person knew where to follow him. The wind
being off shore, he could not return again, and was
drifted about all night. On Monday morning,
a blisk gale sprung up from the west, car.;
reed him completely out froin the land, and expos-
rd.hirn to the tossing waves of a sea, so heavy
that some of the wherries returned back again
to the harbour that morning, nut daring to
vet.ture out. However, he had the precaution, as
he himself relates, of laying hold with his hands.
and remaining steady in the boat. In this perilous
state he continued till about eleven or twelve o'clock
forenoon, when he was driven on shore near Ar-
drossau, almost speechless. The dire& distance that
he was eriven,' is computed to be iron) 20 to 24
miles. Next day he was carried to Arran, in the
ferry-boat, to.tne no small joy of his distracted pa-
rents.

The shop of Mr. Taylor, grocer, at Kingston-
upon-Thames, was broke Open on Tuesday night,
and robbed of a quantity of plate, tea and sugar, and
other articles. The Red Lion public-ho Use, in Pearl-
. row, St. George's-fields, was broke open the same
evening, and robbed of four pounds worth of half-
pence which were in the bar.
INCENDIARIES.,--On Tuesday se'nnight, an out-
house belonging to Mr. Rogers, of Summerwell
farm, near Tedbury, in the county. of Gloucester, was
entirely consumed by fire. The next morning,
as Mr. Rogers was proceeding' to his fields,. where
the Haymakers were at work, he perceived several
other parts of his premises on fire, and before the
engines from Teibcry had' extinguished the flames,
two straw ricks and a wheat rick, the latter Worth.
tool. were consumed. At noon, on Sunday last,
his premises were again discovered ;to be on
fire, and from the different places where the,
flames. burst forth, there • can be. no doubt .01
their having been intentionally set on fire. Mr. 11.
had impounded a hew days previously several horses,
the property of a gang of gypsies in the neigh-
bourhOod, and it is. strongly • suspeded that
.these
lawless.bandittiadopted this method of revenge.
'A fire broke,out, about ten o'clock on Tuesday
night, at the end of Kentish-buildings, near the
Town-hall, in the Borough, by which tour • houses
and some warehouSes were consumed.
,As Mr. Hsinsm, of ToWer-street, was coming
from Dartford on Tuesday night,' in a post-Chaise,
his trunk was cut trona behind the chaise near Dept-
ford, containing property to a large amount.
