Evans, were convicted in the penalty of 901. for work-
ing a private still, in Bethnal-green, but not being
able to pay the same, they were committed to the

MARLEOHOUGII-STREET.—Yesterday two men nam-
ed
Badcoch and Charles Draper, the former a
hackney-coachman, and the latter a waterman of a
hackney-coach stand, were charged with burgh-
riously entering the dwelling-house of Samuel Ben-
jamin, and stealing property to the amount of 601.
consisting of wearing apparel, &c. the goods of
William Benjamin.:
It appeared from the statement of the Prosecutor,
that his s n 1 rents a shop in Mary-la-bonne-lane, in which
he carries on his business-of a salesman. On Friday
evening last, between ten and eleven, he was in-
formed that his shop had been broken open, and pro-
perty to. a large amount stolen therefrom ; he went
thither immediately, and found the information to be
true, and that the shop was stripped completely of
every thing of value ; inquiries were made as to who
could be the perpetrators of the crime, when the Pro-
secutor learned, that a hackney-coach had been seen
standing a considerable time near to his shop, and
that three or four persons had been seen to carry se-
veral large bundles from the shop to the coach, and
that soon afterwards the coach was driven away at a
furious rate, by two persons on the coach-box ; this
circumstance exciting suspicions, two or three young
men, who had been drinking at a public-house in the
neighbourhood, immediately pursued the coach, and ,
kept close up to it fir some time, frequently calling
out to the drivers to stop, but this induced them to
drive still harder ; however, one of the young men
ascertained the number of the coach, which was 278,
and they all returned to the Prosecutor's shop, and
apprised him of what had transpired. Mr. Benjamin,
having obtained this clue, immediately went in pur-
suit of them, in company with two other persons,
who gave evidence, and having made many inquiries
at different public-houses, in order to ascertain the
stand on which the coach in question was accustomed
to stop, they learnt that the stand to which it be-
longed was situated near the Bull and Gate, in Hol-
born. Thither Mr. Benjamin and his companions
immediately directed their course, and not finding
any coach at the Bull and Gate, they waited a con-
siderable time, as they expected the return of the
coach to that station. Between two and three in the
morning, they descried a coach driving tosiards the
gate of the above inn, with two men on the coach-
box, one of whom descended in order to open the
gate, while the other drove into the coach-yard.—
Examination was directly made of the number of
the coach, and it was found to correspond with
that taken down by one of the witnesses, upon
which the Prosecutor seized the man, who had de-
scended from the coach-box, by the collar, whilst
another of the witnesses sired the coachman, and a
third opened the coach, and, upon searching under
one of the seats, a body-coat was found, which the
Prosecutor immediately recognised to be his property,
and to have been seen by him in his shop the preced-
ing day. The Prosecutor also swore, that he had
b,,en himself repairing that identical coat, for sale,
the evening on which the robbery was committed._
Upon this the prisoners were given in custody of a
watchman, conveyed to the watch-house, and inter-
rag,ated with respect to the property stolen, and as to
their accomplices. The prisoners denied any know-
ledge whatever of the property, or that the coach
had been that eveniag at all in Mary-la-bonne parish,
or that they had any bundles the whole evening in
the coach.

The above facts were proved by several witnesses,
and the prisoner Badcock being called on for his de-
fence, said, that he was standing with his coach in
Oxford-road, about ten o'clock cut Friday evening,
when he was called by three gentlemen, who directed
him to drive to Mary-la-bonne-lane, and wait at the
corner of a street until their return. He accordingly
drove to the place he was directed to, and waited for
some time, when the gentlemen put five bundles into
his coach, and two of them having got into the car-
riage, he was ordered to drive to the Seven Dials,
where he put down his fare, and drove to his stables
at the Bull and Gate in Holborn, where he was seized
by the Prosecutor and others, and carried to the
tvatch-house, and he knew nothing more about the
matter. The other prisoner stated, that he had ac-
companied his fellow-prisoner cn his coach-box, to
assist him in opening the coach-door for the pas•
sengers, and denied that he knew any thing further
than what he had said before. The prisoners were
fully committed for trial.

On Saturday la,t about half past eight o'clock in
the evening, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt
at Cumnock, near Ayr, and the neighbouring places.
At Leadh;lls it was so distinct and violent, that the.
inhabitants were very much alarmed, a loud rumb-
ling noire was heard resembling thunder, and the
shock appeared to strike upwards from a great depth
in the earth. Several persons left their houses in the
utmost consternation. In the course of nearly an
hour after the first shock, several other lesser ones
were heard, accompanied with a dreadful torrent of
rain, which continued for a few minutes. The pro-
gress of the first seemed to be towards the north-
west, but afterwards more to the eastward, during
which happily no damage whatever was done.
Wednesday week, a barber in Castle-street, Inver-
ness, for a trifling wager, drank two English pints of
whiskey, which In a few hours occasioned his death.
He has left a wife and family.
Hops.—At the last Worcester Market, 317 pockets
of new, and 30 of old, were weighed.---Current prices
from 43 ss. to £3 15s. per cwt.—At the Canterbury,
eley were so high as from £4 to £4 4s.
A cucumber, produced in the open air, without
any artificial heat, was gathered at Ovingham, on
Saturday se'nnight, sixteen inches in length, and nine
in girth.

There is now growing in the garden of Mr. J. B.
Wttes, at Chesterton, a peach of uncommon dimen-
si( n,. Its circumference, %%l-.en measured parallel to
the plane of the wall, in 10-1 inches ; in a transverse
direction, it is :Annewhat less.. Its weight, of course,
has not yet been ascertained. Upon esame tree
there are sever..l others of great size and beauty, but
which, by reason of their proximity to the one above
tit:scribed, have not obtained their full share of notice.
