UNION-HALL.

- -
',inlays Seagull, a shipwright, was brought up on a warrant,
charged with having unlawfully left his employment. It appeared,
that about four months since the defendant entered into the service
of Messrs. Gordon'. ship-builders, Deptford, and left it in a short
time without having completed his engagement. He was soon after
taken up on a warrant, but on promising to return to his wink,
was discharged; he, however, again absented himself, for which
second offence be was taken into custody, and brought up yester-
day. He again repeated his promise of returning to his work ; but
the Magistrate said be could not be trusted a second time, and com-
mitted him to Maidstone jail, to be kept to hard labour for• three
'months.
HEAD OFFICE, DUBLIN.

Thursday last, Charles Fowler was brought from Belfast, and at
ten o'clock underwent an examination before Major SIRIL ; and at
twelve o'clock a second one took place before Counsellor Lowe,
when Mr. Bacon, in the employment of Mr. Mullen, and Mr.
Jones, of the Hibernian Hotel, attended.
Mr. Bacon stated, that the prisoner came to Mullen's shop, in
company with a Mr. Denny, son of Sir Edward Denny, and se.
lected a gold chain and seals, ♦alue ASO, remarking at the time to
Mr. Denny. that this would make a great hole in his Englisla bill.
Mr. Bacon, from the respectability of his companion, did not hesi-
tate letting him take the articles away; he called repeatedly in the
course ol the week, to get the watch regulated, and added £lO to
his bill, by the purchase of a silver snulEbox and eye-glass. The
last day he saw Mr. Fowler, he :hewed him a letter, which he said
he received from his bailiff in Norfolk, advising him of his having
lodged in the bank of Messrs. Holland and Beck, .El :O, which be
bad received for cattle; he drew a bill fur this sum, at ten days'
sight, for Mr. Mullett, and wrote a letter of advice to the bankers,
which be requested might be sent by dlr. Mullen's messenger to
the Past Office; he then got ,e 5. The bill was returned, saying
that they had ro knlwied,ge of the drawer.

WINCHESTIER) AUG. 20.—Mon.fay evening. as the
Rev. G. P. RrcuAnus was proceeding from ltomsey to
this city, alone in a gig, he was met in Ampfield Wood,
at about a quarter past seven o'clock; by two men if
mean appearance, armed,with bludgeons, who de:irid
him immeJiately to deliver leis property, one of them
instantly mounting the step of the carriage, and the
other getting up bei intl. After some hesitation, Mr.
RICHARDS gave up his purse, eontainint, sere s sove-
reigns and twenty shillings in silver, and also his iz aten

BOSTON, JULY 16.—1 n consequence, of the recent in-
tense heat, and the extremely crowded population 11
Broad-street, a most afflicting scene has been presented
there. At one time there were women and men in the
street dying or fainting, the physicians attempting
bleed them, friends rendering their best seevices,.mt
the police-officers endeavouring to keep off the crowd.
Wednesday an Inquest was commenced, arid
con-
tinned the following day, on the body of J. West,.a
labourer, who was found dead on the farm of Mr.
Rowland, of Water Eaton, Oxon, early m the mneting
of Wednesday. From three sheaves of beans having
been found removed from an adjoining field, and him;
within a short distance of the boJy, and likewise blocil
being traced from •the bean sheaves to the body, there
was little doubt in the minds of the Coroner and Jury,
that the deceased had stolen the beans, and in cartlid:
them away had ruptured a blood-vessel, which caused
his death. The deceased used to work for Mr. Rew-
land, and his time of going to labour was six us the
morning. The body was found as early as four. Wept
was about 46 years of age, and had been ill for some
time. A surgeon examined the body, and was of opi-
nion the deceased had ruptured a blood-vessel of the
lungs, which produced suffocation. Verditt—z, Ded

Saturday last, a man named JosAua Cade, Commit ed
to the House of Correction at Hull, on two separate
charges of horse-stealing, made his escape from that
prison. He was placed in what had always been con-
sidered one of the most secure cells near the top of the
building. The cell, however, appears to have bean
most defective ; for, although covered with flags, the
upper part of the wall only consisted of laths and plaster.
The prisoner having easily broken through this,reachtd
the toL of the prison, whence he let himself down 'o
the Fund, a distance of thirty feet, by means cf his
blankets, and escaped without further difficulty. lie
appears, however, to have sustained considerable in-
.ry in this :descent, as the blankets and the ground
were covered with blood, and a deep groaning was
heard by one of the neighbours. Not the slightest trace
of the fugitive has since been discovered.
Pirates still infest the shores and waters about the
Island of Cuba, where several of their barges have
been destroyed by the boats of the United States' ship
Hornet.
