length, however, she came home by herself, but with-
' out boots or earrings, which, she said, a woman,
whom she saw in the boat, had taken away. In the

Queen-SQVARE.—Yesterday Elizabeth Bah and
the woman in whose house she wat found, were
brought up for re•examination, charged with having
robbed Charles Myers, a seaman, of his watch and
£BO in money, which he had received the preceding
day at Somerset House. The circumstances attend--
inng this robbery were before our Readers in yester-
day's STAR. The evidence being recapitulated, the
sitting Magistrate (T. B. PLAISTOW, Esq.) fully com-
mitted them for trial, and the parties were bound
over to prosecute.

PlLLORT.—Yesterday a wretch of the name of William Bedkr,
whose offence is detestable, stood in the pillory at the Old Bailey,
pursuant to his sentence at the last Sessions. A•grcat crowd of
unfortuna* women met for the avowed purpose of giving him
what is called a complete whitewash, which they effected to a
degree unprecedented.—During the hour the punishment was
inflicting, he was assailed by the hands of every female who
could collect sufficient dirt, rotten eggs, &c. to render their mode
of battery complete.—When he was taken out he was unable to
stand, and presented the figure of one complete mass of dirt.

A man, appearing as an Auctioneer's Porter, ap-
plied on Monday last at a house in Lambeth, where
sale of furniture was to take place on the Wednes-
day following, stating himself to have been sent for
the two parlour carpets to be beat. • The owners, on
his observing that the other porters were coming in
an hour, to lot and prepare the goods for public ♦iew
the following day, which was the case, incautiously
gave him two carpets and a hearth rug, with which
he got clear off, and neither have since been heard of.

BRIXIIAM, AUG. 3. Yesterday a decently dressed
woman, apparently about 30 years old was found mur-
dered in a field at Churston Fevers ; a farmer in a
field just by at work observed a disagreeable smell,
and) on searching, discovered the body lying on her
back, covered with ferns, end a large stone of .501 h.
weight on her breast; the body must have lain there
several days, as it was in a state of putridity. The
murderer is unknown.—Last night a skirmish hap-
pened between some soldiers and two sailors: the
soldiers being intoxicated drew their bayonets, and
the sailors being unarmed fled to their boat, whither
the soldiers pursued them. One of the sailors seeing
his danger leapt overboard and swam away, the other
was overtaken by the soldiers, who mangled and
stabbed him in several places, and then made their
escape, it being very dark. The sailor is since dead
of his wounds.

A few nights since, two gentlemen, of Manchester,
were stopped by three footpath, on the Stockport
road, near the Shakespeare, who demanded their mo-
ney. One of the gentlemen, who was armed with
pistols, called on his friend to resist ; the villains,
who had also fire-arms, then fired, which was return-
ed, but, it is believed, without wounding either of
them. The robbers then made off, without effecting
their purpose ; one of them dropped a loaded pistol,
which, it is hoped, may lead to a discovery.
