was charged with stealing four half qua; r loavcs
from the basket of J. Edinton, another jouracymah.
It appeared that Ediuton had left his-basket in the
street, while he went dawn the area of a house on St.
Andrew's-hill ;as he was returning up the steps he
saw the prisoner take the loaves out and run off with
them ;he was however immediately stopped. The
pees' doer ackm,wledged the offence, and expressed a
wish' to serve his Majesty, and was accordingly taken
on board the tender.

UNION HALL.—Yesterday Eke. Smith was charged
with stealing a box, containing a quantity of wearing
apparel, the property of Ann Davis.
It appeared ,hat the prisoner had called to visit
Dais, when • the latter having no suspicion left her
alone in her :apartment, and, during her absence, she
contrived 'to convey away the.bor. She was fully
committed.

WHITECHAPEL AND SrusowELL.--Several persons
were yesterday coro,icted on the information of the

Sunday.
MAIII.BOROUOII4TWEET. —Yesterday Jet,let Elts was
charged with robbing the shop of Mr. Salmon, a tea-
dealer, in Wardout-s:reet, on Thursday evening.
It appeared, that whilst the sister of the prosecutor
was sitting in the counting house adjoining the shop,
she perceived the prisoner enter- the shop, and lean
over the counter towards the till. She imrned:ately
went into.the shop and challenged the pi isnner with
theft. The till turned out to have been eriptiA of
three XI notes, and sonic cash, part of WAS
found on the prisoner, and the other part h,; Laj con-
cealed. lie was fully committed.

Yesterday morning. as a woman was passite, along
Upper Thames-street, near Broken Wharf, she was
jammed by a cart against a post, and so much bruised
as to be taken to the Hospital without hopes of re-
covery.
About t;ne o'clock on the morning of Tr:day, the
10th, three men were apprehended in bed ~t thi
Ulack Lion, Exeter, charged with burglary and fe-
lony, in breaking open the counting-house of Messrs.
Crosby and White, clothiers, Westbury, W its, and
stealing therefrom a quantity of superfine blue cloth,
ef the value of £4OO and upwards. Bills to a con-
sider Ale amount were found on the prisoners, and a,
portrmintean, containing various keys, pick o.ki,, &c.
of the most curious invention, capable ii: opening
locks of every description ; also pliosplicre- Tu.,. eies,
dark-lanterns, and sundry implements, Sll L,. to effect
their depredations. I'Vhile Ile',: itt4a,4s were exa-
mining below stairs, one of the men contrived to
make his e--cape from the chamber-w:ndtilv, by the
help of a sheet, with which he tet ti.ni elf down into
,the street, with nothing beit his s, 'ot on, in which
state he was met shortly afer A:. w,. soldiers, a mile
from Exeter, on the Heav,.ree-- I:, i, probably mak-
ing his way for the cart ' . ,-', , the property bad

shared the same fate. 'The Mere=. _it afterwards buried,
the bodies; but, struck with ventdrse of clnsc'ence, •
I
afterwards confessed the fact, and surrendered him-
self to justice. _ _

On the evening of the .sth instant, a most inhuman•
murder was committed on the body of the wife o:
John Williams, a farmer, of l3ro 0.,k, near Whit • ;
church, at Norbury, in Cheshire, supposed to Inv,:
been perpetrated by her liusbanJ. On the morning
of that day, they had both paid a visit :IA spent the
day with Williams's father, and in the evening, about
six o'clock, they both set off on their return home..
The next morning a neghbouring farmer discovered,
the body in a pit, situated in a field near the road,
where they must have passed on their return home.
On examining the body, marks of strangulation were
discovered ; and there is every reason to suppose that
the inhuman husband, after having strait led her,
had throi'.'n her into the pit. He has not since been
heard of, but the most diligent search is making after
him. Tke unfortunate woman had one child about
nine months old, which she had left at home. The
Coronee's)nquest, after a minute examination which
lasted two days, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder
against the said John Williams.

Considerable inconvenience was lately experienced!
Lin the city of. Cork, in consequence of the Dublin
;mail not having arrived in course. It has h.ten
ac-
counted for in the following es:train-dim:try manner :
66 The mail which left Dublin last Monday even-
ing f.r Cork. being unwsially large, the guards were
unable to get it into the mail-hoot, and were obliged
to fasten it on the top of the coach. On Tuesday
night, in passing Kilworth mountain, the lamps were
extinguished by the want of air, owing to the density
of the fog, and the ropes having given way, the mail
fell ofF unperceived. On Wejnesda,y inezninly when
Mr. Anderson, of Fermoy, learnt ffie circunistance,
he immediately got a large military force, to u:ke the •
neccssary measures of precaution and inquiry. .4.fter
1 a very fatiguing march in scouring a great track of
country, die hag was found in a quarry, near Mit-
; el:eh:own, unopened, and brought to the Posi••oifice
1 here ves-,erday."

Last Sunday several carriages, with prisoners, ar-
rived at the head office of police in Dublin. The Ma-
gistrates of that office dispatched, on the preceding
night, some intelligent peace officers, with warrants to
arrest many persons in the minty of Meath, concern-
ed in various felonies, and for putting to death one oil
their own party, who had amassed a large sum of
money by plunder, and who the robbers were fearful
would impeach them in case he should be taken pri--
soner. The entire of the warrants were executed,
and the robbers arrested at Whitelan, near Bellew:.
town. A party of The military surrounded the resi-
dence ofthe robbers, while the Magistrates and Peace
Officers entered and arrested the whole, and disco-
vered a large-calve-Wherein the principal of the gang,
Pat. Coogan, lay congealed.
