AfaxsftiN-1-intriThe whole of • the plot I.
specting the conviction of the three Irishmen is
now likely to be 'developed, ttnd from the labo-
rious, private us well alt public; investig:ttion of
the Lintb MAYOR, a scene of iniquity is shortly.
expected to be exhibited. Many rikts of a
nttl nature have come to Our knowledge: involving
parties hitherto engaged in this practice, but we
forbear Mentioning names, until the ejrcuinstances
are detailed in evidence: •

Brock, the companion of Pelham, Bath Ge 6:
.Browne and 'Vat,Elton, was yesterday morning ap-
prehended in bed, at a house in Fell-street. He
was brotight before the, Loan MAvou at an early
hour, and underwent a private-examination, which
laSted two boors. In the course of this proceed-
ing, his identity was .Clearly established, and he
offered to give certain information to the Lord
Mayor upon the subject. Pelham, already in,
custody, has also confessed his guilty participa-
tion with a number of other conspirators, and in
a long letter, detailed to his Lordship some atilt
principal facts of the system of his partners hi
guilt, promising to disclose the whole.
White, the officer also who apprehended Brock,
gave some important information ; in coose,
quence of Which the Lord Mayor ordered several
other persons, discovered to have been connected
with the parties at present in custody, to be se.
cured.

Brock was afterwards pot to the Bar hi public
-manner, when he .was informed by the. Lord
Mayor that he tv.►s in' possession of sufficient
information to shew that he *at nut only a coiner
of bail Money, ,but that he was a principal in em-
ploying the three rt►en who had been coi►victed of
that offence on Saturday last, with a view to the
obtaining a rowan! for that pretended service to
the justice of tire country. Under these circum-
stances I.e felt it his duty to rert►and him likr fur-
titer examination.

Brock then bagge►l leave to state, that he had,
much information to communicate if his Lard.
ship would suspend his commitment, and bear
hurt in private.

The tow) %von said he could not h&ar him
at preseat, but ►that his offer would be matter fOr
consideration hereafter.

The prisoner was therefore remanded, anti or-
dered to be kept in a separate apartmtint from all
other perSoll£.

BOW-STRERT..7.-.Mr. NARKS, the Magistrate,
.proceeded yesterday in the investigation respect-
int; Vaughan, late a p role belonging to the
Office, and those concerned with Min.' It ap-
pear; that Vaughan was attached ro a party, of
the patrole, who go into the neighbourhood of
I•liogton every evening, got connected with an
inhonotis set of men who hang about the different
Police Offices and the .puhlic-houses near them,
called .Noses, who, from their connexion with
thieves, give information Of robberies that ate•to
be cOrmuitted, as well as those which have been
committed, for the purpose of being rewarded,
and iotong those of, this description was Mackay,
who was the nose in- the discovery of the great and
extensive silk robbery which was committed upon
the River Thames some time since.

Go. Brown, who was connected with_Vanglian
and Mackay, was apprehended by May, the Qt...
ticer belono,ing to Union-hall, On Tuesday night,
and brought to the' °Pica yesterday morning,
when, on examination before Mr. NARES, he was
committed for further examination.

Mackay has made interest, and applied several
times to be appointed a patrole attached to this
office, but he has always been rejected.
Yesterday Mr. NARES received a ktter from a
man, signed Hubbard, who proves to be the same
man who was erroneously reported from Hatton-
garden Office by the. name of. Herbert, and re-
specting vk both it was stated, that Vaughan had
given Mr. I-Limier, the Solicitor's Clerk, a guinea
for Mr. Harmer, to go to Union-Hall Office to de,
fend him against a charge of felony, which was
insisted upon by Mr. Harmer's Clerk, and posi-
tively denied ,by Vaughan. The letter which
Hubbard sent to Mr. NARkii is dated futon Horse
monger lane, where he is confined on a charge of
stealing a watch, chain, and seals, but has uot
been tried. He confesses himself to have been
guilty of a burglary ; but his chief object in the
conimunication west() implicate another of the pa-
trole belonging to the Office, of the name of
Archibald Ruttier), in conducting himself impro-
perly. Mr. NARES sent for At chibald Rothen, who,
suited, that in the month of Maids last he re-
ceived information from. Hubbard, who acted as a
nose to him, that a watch and clock maker's 'shop
in Bermondsey-street was to he broken open
about a CC: t lime, when he went to lay in wait
to endeavour to detect the robbers, taking with
hini Mackay. The robbery %vas perpetrated (as
Hubbard had informed‘Atchibald Ruthen it would
be) by three robbers, when, on Archibald nit..
then and Mackay endeavouring to secure the
robbers, they only succeeded with one; two made
their escape ; one of the two they apprehended a
few days after. Their names Were Mars and Fla-
nagan ; they were examined, tried, convicted of
the burglary the last Surrey Astizes, but %vote.
nothanged.

The rewards for the convictions of these two
men were divided between Archibald Ituthen,
Mackay, and Hubbard, the nose. It now turns
out that Hubbard was not only the nose, but that
he was actually the third robber in the burglary,
and thus received part of the conviction-money
for convicting Mars andTlatiagatr, with whom be+
had assisted in breaking open the house. Archi-
bald Ituthen afterwards knew that Hubbard was
one of the robbers, be having received informa-
tion to that effect, aiid for this neglect of duty
Mr. NARits ordered him into custody, and after.;
wards committed him.

Vaughan did not attend the Office yesterday,
nor can tie be found.

Mr. NARES 1% ill resume tt►e investigation on a
future day.
