GUI LD II ALL.Thoma's Loveless,. apprentice to
Harferd, of. Noble-streer,. foster-lane, was
yeverday brought up for a second examination, and
after some further inquiry, his guilt appeared evi-
'dent; his master, however, havitz rpacte him some
preireses of lenity, should he confess, the Magis-
trate did not think the- charge agSinst him,. for
stealing cloth from his employer'S house, could be
substantiated by legally admissible evidence. The
young culprit was, therefore, at his own request,
sent on board the Tender to serve his Majesty.
Moss Abraham, a notorious pickpocket, wa.; next
placed. at the bar, charged with violently taking
from the person of Henry Dashiell, master of the
1:-, American 'ship, a pocket•=book; containing a

• The prosecutor stated, that he was passing over
13:ackfriars-bridge „en the evening of the .Ist of_Au-,
gust, and observing a crowd, he went to ascertain
the cause, and soon became involved in• the general
mass. He °bee ved the plisoner standing imme-
-diately in his front, and frequently endeavoured ,o
pass hits, but in vain. Fearful that some attempt
might be " made to ifck his lica.e.et, he kept (me
kand on his pecket•boek, which was in his' breas t-
pocket,
,aird the other on his watch, in his fob ; his
precautions were not, however, successful, as the
prisoner, with a sudden jet k, unbuttoned his•coat,
and at the same instant ptichis lifiu into his breast-
pooker. and _drew
..fdrth the book, which he as
. quickly, by a dexterous manoeuvre, conveyed to an
accomplice. The prosecutor seized him at the mo-
trut his property was gone beyond- redetrip,
tiom Some Police OtficerS cotning.up, he was pro.
perly Secured.
The prisoner wished, if possible, to compound
the „felony, and for- that purpose offered to go vo-
luntarily on boild' the Tender to serve his Ma-
jesty. The. worthy I.l4agistiate would not agree to
his solicitation, and he was fully committed for trial.

:tree, and servant to Mr. Philip Wise, hitcher, in
Clare-market, was brought forward, accused by 'his
master of stealing a paper containing five shillings
worth of halfpence.
Mr. Wise stated, that the prisoner had Veen in his
employ inept for eighteen mouths, and during that
time had •conclue-led hituse:l with great" propriety
teed within the last two months, when some irre-
gularities in his condat gave rise to suspicions which
finally led to hid deteEtion. A paper of halfpence
was marked, and a part of its contents was after-
Wards found in his pocket.• Mr. Wise expressed a
wish that the former good character of the prisoner
tnight operate in his favour..
The worthy Magistrate. gave him his choice of

" You will, I am certain, be extremely happy in
hearing that thiegarrison is•new in a perfe& state of
tranquility, and completely under Geperal Peter's
orders. This gratifying event took place two days
ago. But for some time previous to it; my mind,
and Ismay say every other person's, was agitated to
such a degree that I cannot describe it-to:you.' The
.confusiOn and the-dread of an insurrection among
the troops caused the greatest alarms in. the Pettall ;
most of the opulent and wealthy, inhabilantsewere
prepared to quit their homes for a place of safety;
and :hose wile had not the means of so doing, had
buried what little property they possessed. In this
distressing and, unhappy,state were we all imtill'the
14th. About six o'clock in the evening, a real ~or
pretended quarrel took place between the gun las-
cars ant some sepeys
,from thefort, in which affair
one ot.ehe former :was wounded; This was imme-
diately reported to, the artillery-company, with the
mischievous, addition, that the se.eoys were.ceming
our against the EeroPean Artillery, which, spread
through their barracks., IC an instant, and jest
as rwas stepping into my palanquin (being about le
go out) I heard the discharge of three firelocks; and
ialmedi tide, after the artillery drum ,'beerting-• to
arms. * I now began tri, think of the very critical
situation the General and myself* were in ; the other
Sled* having gone to ethe fort, and knowing that
several of the artillerymen were itra state of intoxi-
cation, and the • great agitation of mind they had
been in fOr several days before, I was fearful of the
most horrid scenes of bloodshed taking place.
" While ref ling on 'what was going on, and
what might- in consequence happen, several more
shot's were fired e and' sonie genriethert, at 'the time
who run into .the General's 'hoUie; informed him,
that' the artillei-ymeteeould' not be brought. to any
reason; that their guns' wefe drawn and'
matches•lighted, au'd that they were determined, to
scour the Petah', as the;y termed it, with grape and
cannister shots; and they mentioned the name of
an officer, whom they, all swore they wimldes.hoot
or seat to pieces, if they found' him.' Very Soon
after this, it being quite derk, we artillerymen came'
up to the Generhhl's house, .and derrianded to seeale
with Gee. Pater. They were 'stepped 'by the sepoy
sentries,, when Gen. Pater, with great coolness and
presence of mind called them to him, aled-went
down the• steps to meet them. I folldwed 5 the
men were for some time extremely violeat, and
had their arms with them, 'Which they recovered
and cocked in our faces, and‘told us they were load-
ed. The General reasoned with one (the principal)
and Major Crosby and myself with the Other, for
some time, till they became pretty nuional. The
most violent of the two was, 'at length, so over-
come with a sense of shame by the. General's firm-
ness and cool conciliating manner of reasoning with
him, on the impropriety of his conduCte that he
dropt on his krne; acknowledged his rejpeet for him,
and begged for Pardon.. They then went awy,
promising the General they would make all the
artillery company return quietly to their barracks.
These rascals had scarcely left toe cornoUnd, when
about twenty shots eere fired in every direction,
and some whizzed in front of our varandah. -From
this moment` not a person of any &set iption could
pass near-them, Without being challenged and fires;
at. 'We m ght 'easily have secured these fellows,
