can scarcely be otherwise than auspicious to the into.
rests of Ireland, for we can with difficulty believe i.
possible that Sir ROBERT PEEL, with the extraordi.
nary events of the lust few days full in hii recollec-
tion, can any longer hesitate as to the imperative
necessity of doing full and prompt justice to the
sister country. However dexterously he may have
evaded the difficulty last session, he cannot with
safety play the same game, next. Events are com-
bining against him. Expediency is declaring it
favour of a conciliatory system of policy as regard:
Ireland, and the Premier is not the man to neglect
the hints of this shrewd monitor. Sir ROBERT PEEL
has now before him as fine an opportunity as states.
man ever had of winning the undying gratitude of a
nation, and the respect of posterity; and we do hop(
that he will show himself worthy of his exalted posi-
tion, and laying aside, for once in his life, the misera-
ble considerations of party, mete out justice to long-
oppressed Ireland in a comprehensive, resolute, and
magnanimous spirit.

We are sorry to observe that the invaluable facili-
ties and extension afforded to the operations of com-
merce by the newly-organised scheme of "overland
communication," as now established between this
country and India, are occasionally much compro-
mised or disparaged by some defective postal arrange-
ments that ought to be made the subject of prom's.
investigation. The shortened term—as compared
with that of the old sea route—which is now required
for the interchange of letters (to say nothing of
visits) between the British islands and the Indian
peninsula, is one of the most remarkable and most
useful triumphs of modern enterprise. The service
of the empire has already benefited, to an
enormous extent, by the early intelligence
which the Governments of the last ten . years
have thus been enabled to receive of the great
events and mighty combinations that have taken
place, in that interval, at the northern and north-
western portion of our vast dimensions in Southern
Asia, and in the seas and on the coasts of China. For
some years to come we may reasonably look for an
enlargement of our mercantile connexions in those
regions, of a magnitude that is little dreamed of, yet,
among a considerable portion of our foreign traders.
Political reasons, of obvious force, connect themselves_
with the commercial considerations which should
make the uninterrupted maintenance of these relations
and facilities an object of the most anxious solicitude
to our Government. Nor can we help adding, that
their officers—especially those who hold appoint-
ments abroad, in which they control the machinery
for the transmission of the Indian mail to this country
—should be taught that it will be expected of them
to act up to the spirit, as well as the letter, of their in-
structions, and to assist, rather than to contract, the
scope of the British Government's orders. The delay
of the letters brought by the Bentinck, has been
the occasion of severe complaints among our mer-
chants in London, and has necessarily led to many
grave inconveniences that, we are inclined to think,
might all have been avoided. Where does the fault
of these " untoward interrruptions " really lie ? At
the door of the principals, or at that of their servants ?
We observed, at the time, on the analogous case of
the Hindustan, about two months since—and from thr
tardily-elicited letter of Lord LONSDALE in that affair,
in reply to four several applications from Mr.
STIKEMAN, the Secretary of the East India and
China Association, we are disposed to pronounce the
superior authorities of the Post-office to be to blame.
In the case of the Hindustan, a very large mail from
Calcutta and Madras, on its arrival at Malta, was
not allowed to be passed via Marseilles, through
France as intended, and in which course they would
have been delivered in London on the 4th of July,
and replied to on the Bth of that month, in time for
the next outgoing mail ;" whereas, by being passed on
and landed at Southampton, they were not delivered
till the 10th, and so remained unanswered till the
mail subsequent to the 10th, an interval of some
weeks. It seemed that our Government must have
had reason to believe the crime of " letter breaking
by authority" to be infectious—a disease that, like
the cholera, was fully capable of crossing the sea
in all its malignity I For the plea at last set up by
the Post-office, when it at length condescended to
notice the repeated applications of Mr. STIKEMAN,
was —that " the boxes brought from Calcutta to
Suez, per Hindustan, were not properly packed, and
were, therefore, forwarded to Southampton." But
the East India and China Association distinctly pro-
tested, through their secretary, that of fifty-two
boxes of letters, so brought per Hindustan to
Suez, and reshipped in the Great Liverpool, at
Alexandria, two•thirds or three-fourths were in tin
boxes, hermetically closed, and marked in white
painted letters rid Marseilles :" and the Association
submitted that it had " always been the distinct un-
derstanding that letters coming through or from
Egypt in such boxes, would be brought, according to
the convention with France, through that country:'
Yet, when the Admiralty agent in charge of the
mails was about to land them in Malta, he received
notice from the Post-office agent in that island,
stating that he was not authorised " to forward through
France any other portion of the mail but such as
came from Bombay." Now, Colonel MABERLT, in
a letter, dated 17th July last, repudiates this pretence
of the Malta post-office agent, by assigning, solely,
the cause of the boxes not being properly packed, as
the reason for not sending them on through France.
Again, as we have seen, the Secretary of the East India
Association shows that three-fourths of all the letters
were enclosed in sealed tin boxes—so far from being
improperly packed.

Upon the whole, we are afraid that the delays of
delivery which have been found so annoying in the
cases of the Ilindtistan and the Bentinck will
neither be the least impc,rfant nor the last that will
occur, if the Postmaster-General do not deem the
strict and perfect working of the whole scheme of
postal arrangements connected with the overland
communication with India, an object worthy of all
that energy and attention of which—(it is doing his
Lordship but bare justice to say)—few, if any, of the
public servants devote more to the performance of their
duties. We are persuaded that defects of this admi-
nistrative character are easiest removed when soonest
pointed out ; and we have, therefore, felt justified in
thus particularly and earnestly alluding to the case
of the Indian mail.

We have received Madrid Journals of the 30th
and 31st ult. and of the Ist inst.

The contents of the Madrid journals and letters of
the 30th ult. are of very little interest. The latter
state that the Quzast has issued a decree for the re-
organisation of the Home-office, which costs the State
1,182,000 vials, 120,000 of which are paid to the
Minister of that department. The Minister of
Finances was holding frequent conferences with the
Directors of the San Fernando Bank in order to ob-
tain advances for the present month. Rumours of a
partial change in the Cabinet were afloat. It was
affirmed that the QUEEN had for some days past signed
the decree appointing M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA
Minister of Foreign Affairs. It was also whispered
about that General NAavAEz would proceed as Am-
bassador to Paris.

Advices from Cadiz to the 26th had reached
Madrid, which made no mention of either the Prince
DE JOIN viLLE or his squadron. _ _

According to letters received at Gibraltar from
than, the Moors were again assembling an army on
the frontiers, near the camp of Marshal BUGEAUD,
who, it was said, had ordered fresh reinforcements to
join him from Oran.

Mr. BULWER had not left Gibraltar at the date of
the last advices from that place. Fresh troops bad
arrived at Ceuta, and preparations were still making%
for an attack on the Moors by Spain.
Up to the Ist inst. no fresh intelligence had been
received from the Morocco coast.
The Barcelona prints Of the 31st ultimo mention
the arrival in that city of General BERTHOIS, the well-
known aide-de-camp to Louis PunirrE, the object
of whose mission is not explained.
Madrid Bourse on the 30th—Three per Cents. 27+

We have received the Paria papers of Friday and
Saturday. The acquittal, of Mr. O'CoranLL by the
House of Lords is the subject of comment in several
of the papers. The Debats says, "After having rem('
the debates in the Houseof Lords, it must be acknow—
ledged that the manner in • which the judgment has

been given does great honour to the political and con-
stitutiinal system in England. The question has
been discussed and settled by five persons only ; that
is to say, by the lawyers of the House; and although
all the other Peers of Great Britain, including such
,f the Ministry as are members of the Upper House,
had a right to take a part in the vote, yet, from re-
spect for constitutional customs, they unanimously
abstained."
The Debats proceeds then to give a sketch of the
proceedings which took place in the House of Lords
on that momorable day, and which it does with the
ability which is always remarkable in our Contempo•
rary's articles upon England; and it concludes with
these words :
" We repeat, that the manner in which the judgment
has been given is calculated to give a high idea of Eng-
lish forms and English justice. It is beyond a doubt that
the reception of Mr. O'Connell's appeal must be a source
of great embarrassment to the Ministry, and yet the
Ministry. has scrupulously abstained from interfering in
the decision of the House, although it could have legally
done so. . All Peers had a right to vote ; and if all had
made use of their right, the result could not be doubtful,
considering the immenre majority that supports the Go-
vernment in the Upper House."
The National takes a very different view of the
question. It thinks the acquittal of O'CONNELL is
the effect of the fears of the aristocracy, who are

apprehensive of causing too much discontent in " that
veat_nursery of soldiers and sailors." The National
makes a discovery, too, which is not at first sight
very obvious, which will probably surprise some of
our rea3ers—namely, that to France O'CONNELL
owes his release from prison, Ireland owes Catholic
Emancipation, and the United Kingdom the Reform
Bill. And for all these services, the National is con-
fident that, in case of need, France will find power-
ful- auxiliaries in Ireland against France's
." eternal
enemy."

The Debella has the following on a recent meeting
of thi Repeal Aaseciation in Dublin
Wsi cannot give an account of this meeting without a
few words of remark ; for we should not like it to be
supposed that we see anything serious in the proceed-
ings. It appears that one of the speakers celebrated,
with an enthusiasm marked by a local colouring the
bombardment of the ports of Morocco, and the courage
of the Prince de Joinville. We should certainly feel
flattered at these eulogiums, both for the French navy
and for the Prince, if we could suppose them to be disin-
terested. But, knowing their just value, we confess with
sincerity that we are but very slightly touched by them.
A short time back, when a perfect harmony appeared to
exist, betweea the Governments of France and England,
the repeal orators lavished the most violent abuse on the
King of the French and his family. At present, when
certain persons amuse themselves with circulating re-
ports of war, these same speech-makers change their
theme, and make use of the Prince de Joinville and the
French navy as they formerly used the Duke de Bor-
deaux- and the famous brigade which they placed at his
service. It would not be right to form illusions which
could one day be cruelly disappointed. The Irish, it
must be declared, would be the first to laugh at us if we
took fOr ready money the wishes which they express for
our success. We shall be happy to see them profiting by
all- circumstances to obtain the justice which is not com-
pletely rendered them ; but we should not like to be
taken for dupes. We cannot conceal from ourselves thut
the sympathies of Ireland for us would only last to the
period when they should have drawn from it all the ad-
vantage possible. It seems to be supposed that, in all
difficult times, Ireland would be an instrument for us, we
rather think that we should be one for her."
The Siecle observes, that,
" Siece the decree of the Court of Cassation which,
after hearing the pleading of M. Odillon Barrot, declared
the ordinance which placed Paris in a state of siege
illegal, no judicial event has had the same importance as
the admission of- O'Connell's appeal by the House of
Lords. . The British Cabinet is much shaken, if not
overthrown, by this unexpected blow. Ireland triumphs.
frer hero, her father, her liberator, is about to be de •
livered from prison by the majesty of the law. O'Con-
nell, although condemned, still passed for a great jurist ;
but after all, he was convicted in fact, and a fact is al-
ways mach in the eyes of men. At present the prestige
which encompassed O'Connell as a statesman, as a libe-
rator, as a jurist, is restored in all its splendour. The
influence of this man is become irresistible. Ireland
must be crushed by the sword, or a capitulation must be
made with her."
The Opposition papers comment very angrily on
the terms on which the Otaheite affair has been ar-

rapged.
The Conatitutionnel says :

" There are two very different opinions on the negotia-
tions 'with England. Several persons have thought
that the English Ministry made serious threats of war,
and that the fears of M. Guizot were so great, that he
tendered his resignation. Other equally grave persons
affirm that there has been a great deal of farce in all that
has been .displayed. The two Cabinets, according to
' them,- had long ago come to an understanding, but had
a mutual interest ithiprolonging the final and formal set-
tlement of the affaTr. Sir R. Peel wished it to be be-
lieved that he would not yield until absolutely convinced,
and was desirous of preserving a Government in France
with which England found it easy to deal ; while M.
Guizot wished to' extenuate his new disavowal, and
feigned to risk his place, rather than accede to all the
demands of England. It is of little importance which of
these_ two opinions is adopted. If this farce has been
played, it merely shows that the actors know right well
how to dissimulate, and that each was equally able in dis-
honouring his country, taking it for a dupe, like the Cas-
sandra of a vaudeville. If the conflict was at first as seri-
ous as it was said to be on both sides, we must conclude
that the policy of peace at any price has led France
into the peril df war with an island of savages, of which
she hiid not sufficient spirit to take possession. Trickery,
cowardice, and profound incapacity—such is the sum -
mary.of this affair. How proud must France be when
she is_told, Congratulate yourself upon our firmness and
energy---.—after having disavowed Admiral Dupetit
Thouars six months ago, we have just only disavowed
one more officer ! We deal economically with our navy
--we-de not give it all up at once ! After the right of
search we have sacrificed an Admiral, and after the dis-
avowal of the Admiral we have cast a reprimand upon a
COminandant 1 We know how to resist England ! 'We
know how to defend the rights, the honour, the dignity
of the agents of France, and, in particular; of the officers
of her navy l' said M. Guizot. If, on the day when M.
Guizot pronounced in the Chambers the words we have
just quoted, he had added—Nevertheless, M. d'Aubigny
shall be censured by us, what indignation would not
these words have produced in the Parliament—what
rage would they not have excited throughout France 1
M. Guizot thinks that in France time will.truniph over
every generous sentiment—even the feeling of honour."

The.Courrier Francais of Saturday, in the course

of a long and violent article against its own and the
English- Government, takes occasion to renew its
charges against English agents, and, in particular, Sir
ROBERT :WILSON, the Governor of Gibraltar. So
hlindhd is; the Courrier by its anti-English preju-
dices, that it even sneers at Sir ROBERT WILSON for
one of tfie most generous and noble actions ever per-
forma by man—the saving the life of LAVALETTE
The following is an extract from the article of the
Courrier :—" As, to the English naval and military

mission officially from their Government. We know
one even, who, in the time of peace, amused himself
in thwarting the French Government; but in this
instance the people of France were by chance in ac-
cord with him. .This officer was Sir ROBERT WIL-
SON, who. carried off LAVALETTE from the gaolers of
the restoration. In the present day he would net
probably hesitate to do as much for ABD-EL-KADEB,
if he were a prisoner in France."
The following is the semi-official announcement in
the Globe of Saturday of the settlement of the Ota-
heitan question
" Conformably to the hopes which we had never
ceased to entertain and to manifest, we are happy in
being able to announce to our readers that the difficulty
which has arisen on the subject of the recent
events at Otaheite between France and England
is completely and definitively removed. From the
beginning to the end of this affair, which had
become extremely serious in consequence of ex-
ternal complications, France has not ceased to display
good faith and a spirit of conciliation, but at the same
time a spirit of firmness. Whilst asserting in the most
absolute manner the right of the agents at Otaheite to
expel every person who slapuld attempt to disturb the
'security of the island, the French Government has ex-
pressed regret for, and censured the unnecessary rigour
, of, one of its officers towards a British subject. Such
conduct was imposed upon the French Government by
strict equity ; it could not reasonably refuse to acknow-
ledge in Paris the errors of form which Governor
Bruat had spontaneously censured on the spot.
The English Government after mature reflection,
has acknowledged the digsfified and honourable conduct
of France, and has accepted the offers which were made
to it. The decision of the British Cabinet was come to
on Wednesday evening. Europe at large will applaud
the moderation and true dignity shown in this affair,
which had become so difficult, by the Governments of
France and England. Such are the examples to be
given by the first nations of the world, in order to justify
and maintain their supremacy, and cause it to be recog-
nised. They have above them, in the region of thought,
the eternal principles of justice and civilisation, and at
their feet the human passions, with their selfish hatreds
and their miserable errors."
The commercial treaty between Belgium and the
Zoliverein is regarded.by some of our Paris Contem-
poraries with malicious satisfaction.

The Siecle states, that
" The principal conditions of the treaty may be
summed up in two stipulations of the highest impor-
tance. By the assimilation of the union with the Bel-
gian flag Germany obtains what she has hitherto wanted
—a seaport, by which to establish commercial relations
with distant countries, and to increase her merchant
navy. By the differential duty which favours the iron

and cast metal of Belgium, the vast market of Germany
is thrown open to those articles, of which so much will
be required in the construction of railroads."

According to the courrier Francai.s, Count ST.
AULAIRE had been ordered to return to London.

The accounts from Algiers of the 30th ult. state
that preparations v,ere in progress for giving to Mar-
shal BUGEAUD a grand reception on his return to that
city. A triumphal arch was to be ereeted at the ex-
tremity of the street of the Marine, near the square,
and a banquet to lei offered to him in the tent of the
Emperor of Monocco's son. The Inflexible ship of
the line, and the Montezuma steam-frigate, left
Algiers on the 26th, to join the squadron of the
Prince DE JOINVILIE. The 130 prisoners, the nine
flags, the ten pieces of cannon, taken at Mogadore,
had been landed at Oran.

At Toulon similar preparations are in progress to
receive the Prince DE JOINVILLE with due honours.
The Municipal Council voted on the 3d a sum of
20,000 f. for that purpae. A triumphal arch is to be
erected' in the street of the Arsenal; provisions and
money are to be distributed among the indiger.t poor,
and nautical games are to be performed in the har-
bour. In the evening a ball will be offered to the
Prince in the hall of the Municipality. The autho-
rities had, moreover, decided that a sum of 500 f
should be awarded to the widows of each sailor from
Toulon killed at Tangiers or Mogadore.
The Toulonnais says that it was very probable
that the Prince DE Toitivmus would be appointed
High Admiral of France.

A supplement of the Toulonnais, of the 4th, pub-
lishes the following letter from an officer on board
the Jemappes, off Mogadore, dated the 24th tilt. The
intelligence contained in the letter, should it be con-
firmed, is very important, but it is in some measure
at variance with the accounts we have received of the
Prince DE JOINVILLE'S movements by way of Madrid,
in ,fihich it was stated that the Prince was hourly ex-
pected at Cadiz. It is right, however, to state that
the Sentinelle of Toulon has a paragraph to the same
effect as this letter:—

" On board the Jemappes, off Mogadore, Aug. 24.
" The three ships of the line and the Belle Poule, were
under way yesterday for Cadiz, but the Suffren and Tri-
ton had scarcely. gained the offing when the Morocco-
men began to cannonade the island, and the Jemappes
and the frigate were ordered to let go their anchors
again. The Admiral immediately ordered the broad-
sides of the steam-frigate Groenland, the steam-corvettes
GasEendi and Vedette, and the brigs Pandocir and Vo-
lege to bear upon the town, and commence firing upon
the batteries, which they did for a space of two hours in
the evening. As soon as they had silenced the enemy's
fire a new landing was made by our troops, for the pur-
pose of spiking the guns which had been mounted since
the 16th. The immediate departure of the steam-packet
prevents me from. sending you the result of this opera-
tion, but no doubt of its success can be entertained.'

We find the following in the Sentinelle of Toulon
of the 4th :

" The Groenland left Mogadore on the 24th, with the
Vedette steamer in tow. On the 25th, at noon, she was
off Mazagan, and at three o'clock she cast off the Ve-
dette, and made all' speed to enter Tarifa before sunset.
From thence 'she was to proceed to Cadiz with dis-
patches from the Prince de Joinville. At daylight of the
26th the weather was very hazy, the vessel being, ac-
cording to calculation, about thirteen leagues from the
land. At ten o'clock the fog became so thick that
the bow 9f the vessel was not discernible from the quar-
ter-deck. Shortly after ten o'clock, while the captain
was looking out on the poop, he fancied he saw some-
thing singular a short distance from the ►essel on the
larboard side. He ordered the helm to be ported, and
stepped the engines, but the ship did not answer the
helm very promptly, and immediately struck heavily on
the beach, which was ascertained to be about three
leagues south of Larache. An anchor was let go,
but the cable snapped from the strain in attempting
to heave on it. . A second anchor was let go, but it
was not attempted to put any strain on it more than
to prevent the vessel advancing further on the
beach. As it was about high-water when the
vessel struck, there was not the least chance of being
able to heave her off' until the flowing of the following
tide. In the meantime every effort was made to lighten
her by cutting away her masts, and throwing two of her
guns and her spare anchors overboard. At eleven o'clock
the fog clearing up a little, the situation of the vessel
was noticed by the Bedouins, who came down, and com-
menced a heavy fire of musketry, which they kept up
until night. The crew, however, behaved with the
greatest steadiness, and obeyed all the orders of the
captain as if the accident had happened on a friend)!
shore. The two guns which were left on board were
brought to bear on the Moors, and kept them off. The
Vedette steamer, -hearing the firing, approached, and,
bringing her broadside to bear on the beach, drove the
Moors from it. On the firing being heard on board the
Pluton, the Prince de Joinville directed her to proceed
to the spot, and, in spite of the risk, went himself to
ascertain what chance there was of the vessel being got
off; but finding there was little hope of this being done,
he ordered her to be abandoned and set fire to, which
was done by the captain himself'. One seaman was
killed, and thirteen more or less seriously wounded by
the fire of the Moors."
We read in the* Moniteur

" A letter written from Mogadore of the 17th, on
board one of the ships of the line, says that the fire of
our squadron was so sharp and so long, that not a
vessel had two rounds left. One hundred and eighty
Congreve rockets were discharged, and committed
dreadful ravages. The Belle Poule alone consumed
8,120 kilogrammes of powder, and fired 3,074 shots.
The conduct of each vessel in firing was admirable.
The same letter contains the following lines relative to
the landing of the 16th to !pike the guns, and throw
them into the sea :—‘ Seven in the evening—Our boats
have returned. Not a soul had remained in the town
all the pieces were spiked, and thrown into the sea ; it
was nothing but a pleasant spree for our sailors. Several
shops well stocked with goods were open ; the Prince
forbade in the severest terms, to have anything
touched.'

The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that
the subscription for the Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
roadA letter is entirely filledup
in London, Paris, and
Boulogne.
Alexandria, Aug. 19, in the Augs-
burg Gazelle, says:—
" Ibrahim, who is still at
ler from
has convoked all the
Provincial Governors, to deliberate on the means of
ameliorating the lot of the fellahs. Sami Pacha sails
to-morrow for Malta, and thence to Tuscany, to take sea
baths. We have now lying here' an Austrian man-of-
war, and a French one.'

RAILROAD FROM ORLEANS TO
BORDEAUX.

Three Companies have been formed for this railway.
1. The Company of the Comte d'Anthouard, which
includes amongst the members of the French Com-
mittee Three French Peers, besides men distinguished
by their special knowledge of railways and other
modes of transport, and whose experience offers to
.the Government and the public a high moral gua-
rantee for the execution of this new line.
2. The Company Mackenzie, whose Paris Com-
mittee is composed of but two Frenchmen, whose
position or experience cannot be classed as equal to
those parties composing the first company.
3. The Company Rothschild, it is said, has with-
drawn.
It is on the 19th of this month that these Compa-
nies must justify their titles before the Commission,
presided over by the Minister of Public Works, in
order to be admitted afterwards to compete for the
adjudication of line which will finally take place on
the sth of 'October next. It has been asked—will
the Commission find in Mackenzie's, a purely
English Company, sufficient guarantees ? This is
much doubted. That Company has obtained a deposit
of but 1/. per share, and should difficulties arise be-
tween the two countries so small a deposit would not
be sufficient to hold the shareholders. There is
another circumstance of great importance which
affects this Company. The laws relative to
railways, and particularly that of the 26th t 4 July
last relative to the Bordeaux line, imposes conditions
on the Companies that may be formed not to negotiate
the shares from hand to hand, until after the grant of
the line is obtained, and the statutes are approved of!
by the Council of State. This measure has been con-
sidered
wise by the French Chambers. Its object is
to retain the first subscribers of undoubted solvency ;
otherwise the:shares; if made negotiable before grant-
ing the line, the list presented to the Minister might
not have any reality. The object of this measure, no
doubt, has also been to stop gambling in snares not
having any real validity previous to obtaining the
concession of the .line. Mackenzie's Company has
not acted in conformity to the law in allowing the
sale and circulation of their shares in the stock market
before being assured of the concession. It is very
possible, for thele reasons, that Mackenzie's Company

may be excluded from the adjudication by the Com-
mission. Afterwards there will only remain the
Company of the Comte d'Anthouard, who would then
obtain the concession.—Courrier de r Europe.

THIS _DAY'S NEWS.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
About a dozen interim orders in cases of insolvency
were down for hearing before Mr. Commissioner Fano,
but as they were unopposed, they were totally devoid of
interest.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Price was placed before Sir John Key,
charged with the following daring robbery :
Thomas Little, Aldersgate-street, said that, as his
father and himself were going home last evening, the
female at the bar came up, caught him by the leg with
one hand, and pulled his watch out with the other. She
passed it immediately to a confederate, who male off
with it. H• (complainant) caught the woman, and gave
her into custody. The watch had not since been found.
Police-constable 203, said that he had observed the
prisoner a little before the hour at which the robbery
took place, standing with thieves and other bad cha-
racters near Skinner-street. He also observed her go
up to the complainant. When hearing the cry of '`Po •
lice," he ran up, and was informed of the robbery. Her
companions had gone. When searched at the station-
kouse, the watch was not found upon her. She denied
knowing anything about it.
_

Sir Joan KEY, to the prisoner—Yon hear the charge
against you ; I will remand:you till Wednesday, and if
the watch is not forthcoming on that day, I'll send you
to Newgate.
