herself from Waterloo bridge Under rather mysterious cir-
cumstances, came to this office, yesterday, for the purpose

visit to his father, who, l►e_stated, lived a hundred miles
from London. _

----- -----
Alderson, the officer who had been active in the business,
explained to Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, that Mr. HALLS had
man, in ease it should bediegßowed. The river bad been
obtained the applicant's promise not to leave town until an
•besna.held;ott the ,body of the unfortunate wo
dragged in several places since, but up to the present time
no trace could be discovered of the body, which is suppos-
ed to lie under some vessel in the river, by which Imam it
is prevented from rising to the surface.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE told the 'young man, that if he
left his father's address at the office, and signed an under-
taking to return to town, if wanted the Coroner's in-
quest, he might go. The young man complied with these
terms, and left the office.
W ORS lIIP-STRE ET. —Yesterday Henry Smith, a
good-looking and decently educated youth of respectable
parents, but unfortunately well known to the police of the
district, was charged with committing a robbery at the
house of Mr. Jones, civil-engineer, of Canoubury-lane, Is-

lington.
It appeared from the evidence of a young lady named
Hudson, that about noon on Thursday, she saw the prisoner
in the front yard, and asked him what be wanted ? He
asked if she would buy any pencils, and being answered in

the negative, went out at the gate. Miss Hudson was
then in a room on the second floor, but she went down
stairs presently afterwards, and passing the front parlour,
observed that the window was open, but no person in the
apartment. Returning up stairs again from the kitchen,
the young lady observed the window down, and saw the
prisoner coming from the sideboard. He again offered
his pencils for sale, but Miss Hudson seized and held him
until Mrs. Jones arrived from the kitchen, when they found
that he had stolen a silver wine •funnel.
James Price, an officer, produced the funnel and four
bundles of black lead pencils, found on the prisoner.
Mr. Twit-Foal) observed to the prisoner that he must be
stopped in his criminal career, and committed him to
Newgate.
UNION-HALL. —Yesterday the two men named Lane,
chimney-sweepers, of Peckham, were brought up for final
examination, charged with having kidnapped a child named
Walsh, under eight years of age.
The little boy stated distinctly, that on being taken to
the prisoners' residence, he told them where his mother
lived, but it appeared they had not sought her ; end as a
proof that they had no intention of doing so, they dressed
him up in the garments of a sweep, and made him sweep
two chimnies in the interim between the Friday afternoon
that he was kidnapped and the following Monday that he
ran away from them.
The other prisoner said that he could clear himself on
the trial.—They were fully committed.

have not yet appeared in great numbers,— Worce.ster

on Monday week, and adjourned to Tuesday, on the body
of OwEN WILLIAMS, ship-keeper of the Hamilton, lying in

that the deceased left his residence, in Ashton-street, Tox-
tet! Park, to proceed on board, at half-past nine on Satur-
day evening, and was found wandering by the dock police-
officer, from twelve to one o'clock on the followindg
tow morn-
ing, in a state of intoxication. He was conveyeards
liinne, and promised to prosecute the remainder of his
journey by himself. His body was found at eight o'clock
the same morning, lying in the gut of the Old Dock,
where the tide hid left it, with an extensive cut across
the throat, penetrating to the root of the tongue. A large
clasped knife, which he was accustomed to carry, was
found closed in his pocket, much etained with blood, which
supposed to be the fatal instrument used. He was 77
Oars of age, in good circumstances, and it did not appear
front the evidence adduced that be had recently quarrelled
with any person. Fifteen shillings and sixpence were
found on his person, which was all he had in his possession
during the day.--The Jury returned a verdict 4‘ found
