The small-pox being prevalent at East and
West Cowes, the Magistrates have, with much commend-
able prudence, issued a notice, cautioning all persons
against appearing in the public highways, &c. with any
children afflicted with that infectious malady, otherwise
they will be proceeded against for a common nuisance.

The active competition which is bringing about
so general a decline in prices, has at length found its way
to the hsekney-coachmen. A chariot was seen in Corn-
bill on Saturday, with these words painted on one of the
panels—" This chariot drives at cab prices." Nothing,
by the way stands more in need of reform than the whole
system and management of hired vehicles in London,
which, like other trades, ought to be left without atty re-
striction beyond that which is requisite for the protection
of the public against uncivil conduct or extortion ; and it
is to be hoped another session will not pass without its
being thrown open by the repeal of that heap of absurdities
—the hackney-coach act. Why should not the poorer
classes, awl the public at large, have the cheap accommo-
dation, which is turned to such good account iu Paris, of
stages from one part to another of this immense capital
Times.

LIEUT. HARDY'S TRAVELS IN MEXICO.-
This work is certainly one of the most curious and valu-
able that haS ever appeared on the subject of this interest-
ing country. It seems that the author travelled far into
the interior, and explored many parts never before visited
by any European. The inexhaustible resources, produc-
tions, and capabilities of this mighty Empire, have in-
deed, we are persuaded, never been properly known or
appreciated. Treasures of natural wealth, beauty, and
curiosity—climates of every kind, yet all singularly pro.
pitious to the products of the earth—immense lakes—great
rivers, springing from the undiscovered depths of forests,
untouched since the creation—mountains, containing gold,
silver, and precious t•tones—trees of a magnitude, beside
which those of the European forests seem but dwarfs—
such are the natural objects that Mexico presents to the
wonder and admiration of the traveller ; and these Lieut.
HARDY has succeeded in vividly and forcibly delineating.

TRAVELLERS IN TURKEY.—Though the war
with Turkey is at an end, yet the narratives of our recent
travellers to that interesting country, particularly those of
Mr. MADDEN. and Captain FRANICLAND, Will long be
read with pleasure and advantage. Numberless volumes
have been produced by men of extensive acquirements
which are neither so agreeable nor s ) instructive. The
most novel and striking portion of Captain FRANKLAND'S
narrative, next to his picture of Constantinople, is, per-
haps, his residence in Syria, which conveys a vivid pic-
ture of the state of that interesting country. Captain
FRANKLAND being also a ready draftsman, has adorned
his work with no less than thirty-eight sketches of scenery
and spec:tnens of costume, among which are paticularly
to be distinguished the views on the Bosphorus, and the
costumes of the ladies of Damascus and Aleppo. lie is
enthusiastic in his praise of the besitzty, grace, and cos-
tume, of the Kehlerinnen, or Waiting-maids of Styria.-
Why did he not favour us with a specimen? they would
have been no less attractive than his Princesses of Mount
Lebanon.

ROBBE7V '„T THE DONCASTER BET-

Fi N ROOMS.

on ~eainination of Thomas „fen-
m„s t„,ik :!;.‘ Minsi.so-house, Doncast,r, and h
weo; fey eom:n tted +ahe his trial as the principal in
the abOve rohhery, nee! York Assizes. It ap.ears,
to haVe b,st.ii a " pot ty rohher::," :toil planned by per-
sons on the premises. Tt won,: Jer:::los was the principal
waiter at the bar ; and one of tie, g.,:tg. is an accomplished
" cracksman," another, the "putter np," a fence of some
standing, and the keeper of a notorious house in the
neighbourhood of Covent-garden. Notwithstanding. the
very severe loss, and ti:e grNit expense and trouble since
the robbery, the proprietor)• offered a further reward, in
the event of a recovery of any part of the stolen property.
This has excited the cupidity of one of the persons con-
cerned in the robbery, who, it would appear, is a dis-
appointed man. Through this channel the whole plan
has been developed ; and the locksmith who made the key
has been discovered by the indefatigable exertions of Mr
I'Jmms, chief officer of police. It is very singular with
what degree of facility these villains can turn anti change
their plans cf operation. The robbery, we learn, was to
have been effected in a very different way to what it was
--by attacking the person who might have had the charge
of the money on its way to a place of safety at night,
which had been the usual custom; but it :having been
known that an iron chest on the premises was to be the
depository, immediate attention was turned to effect the
opening of it by a filse key, in the way it 'has been effect-
ed. Since writing the above, we uneerstand that another
of the party is in custody, Jamrs alias Isaiah Smart.—

APPREHENSION OF SMART, ONE OF THE
PROPRIETORS OF MOTHER H.'S.

At a late hour on Saturday evening the above-named
individual was apprehended at the establishment in
Brydges-street, Covent-garden, well-known by the name
of Mother H.'s, upon suspicion of having been concerned
as a principal in the robbery which took place at the
stand-house at Doncaster race-course during the last run-
ning for the St. Leger stakes. The warrant for his ap-
prehension was forwarded to town on Saturday by Mr.
Webster, the Mayor of Doncaster, by Tyrants, the chief
constable of that, place, and having been backed by Mr.
Hone, one of the Magistrates of Union•hall, it was placed
in the hands of Ruthven, one of the principal officers of
Bow-street, who took Smart into custody at his flash esta-
blishment, and immediately handed him over to Mr.
Thomas, the supervisor of police, who lodged the pri-
soner in the watch-house of St. Paul's, Covent-garden,
from whence he was forwarded to Doncaster at one o'clock
yesterday, by the Rockingham coach, in custody of
Tymms. It will be recollected that a considerable sum of
money (it was said between 2,0001. anti 3,0001.) was ab-
stracted from the desk of the mister of the betting-room
at Doncaster, under circumstances which led to the con-
viction that none but the most accomplished London
thieves could have been concerned in the robbery. From
an investigation which took place before the Mayor of
Doncaster, Jenkins, a waiter employed in the betting-
room, was apprehended upon suspicion of being ens-
cerned, and is now a prisoner in York Castle upon that
charge. It appeared that he had been sent for to
assist in the betting room during the races, and
that he proceeded there for that purpose from the
establishment in Brydges-street, by permission of
Smart. No suspicion, however, attaebed to Smart
himself, who appealed at the races merely as a sporting
character, in which capacity he has been known for some
time, both upon the turf, and at places of a more question-
able description. The circumstances which led to his ap-
prehension are these :—Satne short time ago, it appears, a
quarrel took place between him and some of his sporting
companions, one of whom is the proprietor of a certain
flash house in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, and ano-
ther the owner of a kindred establishment in the parish of
Covent-garden. This disegreement, whatever the cause
of it was, led to some legal proceedings, which induced the
quondam friends of Smart to "split" upon him, and in
pursuance of this determination, they proceeded to Den-
caster, and leid before the Mayor such information as in •
duced him to issue the warrant, which has been executed
in the manner described. The principal evidence, as af-
fectiug Jenkins, Smart's waiter, is the evidence of a lock-
smith at Doncaster, who deposed to his having made a key
by direction of Jenkins, with which key it is supposed
the desk was opened which contained the money in
question. Mr. Ranson, of Bout•erie-street, Fleet-street,
has left town for Doncaster, and will appear before the
Mayor es Smart's solicitor, when his client shall undergo
an examination touching the charge which now affects him]
The Doncaster constable in proceeding to get his war-
rant backed by a Magistrate at Union-hall instead of Roy-
street, was led to do so le:•t the matter should get wind
before the apprehension of the prisoner could have been
effected. In pursuing this course the constable acted with
proper caution, for it is a well-known fact that persons arc
continually on the look out at Bow-street, in order to give
timely infot mation of any thing unpleasant that might oc-
cur there to their friends.
