AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ATTEMPTED.

At a quarter past three o'clock jesterday men. Rieherdeon, a
=Mof the 8 division, No. 88, being on duty in Athany.street,
ark, saw the shop door of Mr. ?dyers, a slineemith, at No.
43, a.jar. He went to the station-house, and mentioned his suspicion,
that thieves were there, and a eerie-ant, named Lewis, returned with him
to the place. The variant seta the policeman into Little Alban .street,
to watch at the back of the premises, and as, in the interim, the door
had been closed, he knocked, and a men, rather below the middle sta.
tare, slightly marked with the smallpox, with reddish whiskers, fair
complexion, apparently 28 or 30years old, respectably dressed, in a dark
frock coat, or surtost, and light trousers, opened it. Sajeant Lewis asked
him" Is all right? This is an unseasonable hour for this shop door to be
open, as ooe of our men found it just now." "Oh yes replied the
man, " It's all right, we have had a party to spend the even here;"
and he shut the &sr. By this time, Richardson finding there was no
opportunity for a thief to escape at the beck of the house, had returned
to the meekest, and they determined to keep watch. Very soon the man
with reddish hair, &C. as before described, left the house, and be MO
immediately joined by another .touter man, about five fist eight baba
high, with a pale ha, and dark whiskers, and wearing a well made
dark frock coat at sinew.
The oaken of the police intercepted them, and serjeant Lewis, as
costing the shorter ems, said, " How is it you are here ? I understood
that you lived at Mr. ?dyers's." "I do live there," he answered,
" but lam going tie see this friend home." Serjeati Lewis told him
he thought his conduct was very suspicious, and he must go with him
to the station-house (which is dose by,) and give • better account
of himself. In going to the station-house, it was necessary to
pass Mr. Myers's, and upon trying his shop.door, it was proved to be
only latched. " How is it," said the serrant, " that you did not
fasten the door after you ?—" I thought I had done so," be answered;
" but I know the spring lock is a bad one. Then you are going to
take us to the station.house ?" To the station-house he repeated in a
higher taw, and instantly two more well.dressed men crossed from the
opposite side of the street, and with bludgeons knocked down the Ba.
jeans and Richardson, and the prisoners escaped. The officers aced
" Murder, and a Serjeent Edwards came out of the station-house, in
time to see Berjeant Lewis stagger before he fell, and one of the desps
redoes run away, and he followed him ; but lost sight of him in York.
square, and neither of them were neared.
Captain Cardin, the superintendent of the division B. examined the
premises of Mr. Myen, and found that the thief had got through an
empty house adjo2, by picking the lock of it, and had scaled the
wall of the Wk. by means of some drawers, which he removed
for,that purpose the shop of the empty home, and got in at a back
window.

In the shop of Mr. Silas were found two merino bap containing
6001. worth of gold and silver watches, plate, saaff-boxes, jewels, ac.
tied up in a handkerchief ready to be removed; and an umbrella wet
with rain, • Pair of slippers, and some pieces of *az taper were left
behbsd.
We an nay to add the polies °liken have received very material
injuries.

The complelaent simed,that be beds welt for the defendant's broths%
ma he went at seven o'clock that morning to meets it. He met thole

both In Dartmouth-street, and was about to do his duty, when the de.
fondant stepped between them, and struck him three times on the mouth,
which gave his brother an opportunity to run away.
Robert Prown, an officer of the Palace Court, said that the defendant's
conduct was a complete interruption to the execution of the writ. Wit.
nese ran after the brother as far as Blackftion.bridge, and finally sue.
eeeded in taking him.
Robert Robertson, polies constable of the A. &video, stated that he
was on duty in fit. James's-park, and hearing a cry of " Stop thief,*
he took the defendant into custody. He said he would walk quietly to
the station-house, but be had not proceeded far before he gave witness a
shove, and ran away. He was, however, eventually secured. Witness
saw the complainant, whose mouth was bleeding very much.
The defendant, in reply, made the moot solemn asseveradons that he
nevertouched the comsainm, who, he said, ran against him, and
every woad that he had sworn to was false.
Mr. Oregorie said it was accessory for the officers of the Court to do
their duty, and the Magistrates must protect them. He had consulted
his colleagues, and their judgment was, that he pay a fine of M. the full
penalty, or be imprisoned two months. The fine was paid in the
course of the day.

MasizonotrowaTaszT.—Jasese Farness was brought before
Dlr. Ron, for re-examination, charged with the atOtaloffence of cutting
and maiming his wife, with intent to do bee some bodily harm.
A young man, who described himself as chemist and druggist, but
at present acting in the capacity of assistant to a surgeon, stood forward
to give evidence. Be stated that it was he who dressed the complain.
ant's wounds, on Monday, when she came to his employer's. The in.
jury was inflicted on the side of the head, but she was going on ex.
tremely well, and no danger could possibly be apprehended.
Mr. Rot asked him If he could state what description of sharp Instru-
ment the wound was billeted with P—The witness replied that he really
could not.

Mr. Ron again the question; but the witness repeatedly de.
dared that he could not name any sharp instrument by which the injury
was inflicted.

Mr. Kos said he moat have the opinion of a competent medical man
before be disposed of the prisoner, whose wife interceded for him, de.
daring the was ready to withdraw the charge.
the officer, here stated that an going into a pablic.homs,
to apprehend the prisoner, be beard him express his regret, with aa im-
precation, that the instrument which he carried when he easaniusl his
wife did not finish her.

A friend Glebe prisoner said it only appeared to be " a man and wife
quarrel," and he therefore hoped the Maghtrate would not entertain it.
The prisoner here exclaimed that in the event of his being:again sent
to prison, he should lose a situation be had held for II years, and his
entreaties were enforced by the tears of his wife, who assured the Magb.
irate that she would be satisfied if be were bound over to keep the peace.
Mr. Box said they were mistaken if they imagined that he felt any
pleasure in committing the man to prison. Re only sat there to ad.
minister the law as it stood.

The prisoner was then further remanded to Monday next.
LaxasTmaruzzir.—.Yesterday Charles Cordon, a beardless look.
big youth, was laced at the bar before Blessra.Wmaza and WYATT,
upon the following somewhat singular charge :
Robert Simmonds, an itinerant vender of periodical publications,
stated that he, in the early part of last week, went to Gravesend, leaving
his wife comfortably at his residence in. Sweet Apple.alley, Bishopsgate.
street. Be returned after some days' absence, when he found not only
his wife, but also every moveable article in the place, gone. From
some private information, he proceeded to the lodgings of the prisoner,
In Dock street, Rosemary-lane, and there found his wife and the phi.
loner in bed together, and a part of the furniture belonging to him in
the room, so he gave him in charge to a policeman.
The prisoner in defence said, that Mrs. Simmonda bad moved a few
things to, and come herself, to his lodgings, of her own accord, without
any solidtation on his part ; and telling him that she had been most
cruelly treated by her husband, begged for his protection, which be gave
her, previous to her marriage to the complainant. Re added, that Mts.
Simmends was in the outer office, and would prove what he had said
was true.

The Magistrates desired her to be called in.
She entered the office with a child of about eighteen months old to
her arms, which, she said, belonged to the prisoner, and which she bare
him previous to her marriage with her husband, which took piece
I only three weeks since, and of which her husband wu quite aware. She
in the most unblushing manner avowed her preference to the
and told her husband that be might take away his property if prisoner,
-but that no effort of his could separate her from her paramour.
The husband at length agreed to receive the geode, and abandon the
charge

felony.
The Magistrates inquired of Mr. Knight, if be knew either of the
men who hired the vehicle ?
Mr. Knight answered in the negative, and said that the chaise had
been let to them by his man during his absence, on Tuesday even4lors
The Magistrates said it was in evidence before them by the
'who stopped the thieves, that the same bone and gig wu frequandy
1101111 to drive down the Essex road, and that so sure es it did, a burglary
or robbery followed.
Mr. Knight said be was certain the officers must have been mistaken
in this respect.
The Magistrates told him, however, that they could make no ceder
for the restoration of the property, until the officers who had the ass in
hand expressed themselves satkied on the subject.

Taman POLICE.—Anne Co** and letdella Rpm were finally
exandned and committed for trial, charged with stealing from Captain
