M amorous youth and a blooming damsel, within
one hundred miles of Ulverston, having resolved to
tie the matrimonial noose,.had the banns published;
but the sighing swain, finding himself deficient in the
11 needful," canvassed all his friends for a supply, but
in vain. Not to be thiven from his purpose by trifling
discouragement, he ordered the bride and her friend's
to repair to Church, while he again scoured the town
for cash. Finding his second application equally as
unsuccessful as his first, be resolutely enlisted into the
Lancashire Militia—got married with part of the
bounty, handed the rest to the smiling bride, and thus
became a son of Mars and a disciple of Hymen at the
slow time 1

Friday sennight, a respectable couple, inhabitants of Sheffield,
presented their eight And twentieth child at the bapismal font of
the parish Church. They have been married about 25 years, and
the mother has been delivered of a child every succeeding ten
months. There have been no twins, and the eldest and the
youngest are the only children now living.
Saturday morning, the Express Nottingham coach
was overturned, a little on thenther side Barnet, and
several of the passengers much hurt.
Yesterday morning, as one of the vans used for
conveying teas from the East India Docks s AS enter-
ing the warehouse yard, in Crutched-friars, the fore
wheel came in contact with the guard at the entrance
of the gateway. The concussion was so great as to
cause the shaft horse to give a hideous groan, fall
down, and instantly expire.

CAPTURE OF A GANG OF HORSE-STEALERS.— A
few days ago we gave an account of the daring ex-
ploits of a formidable gang of horse-stealers in the
villages of Streatham, Re'gate, Earlswood, and seve-
ral other parts of the County of Surrey ; at the latter
place they attacked and nearly murdered two labour-
ing men. We have now to state that, through the
indefatigable exertions of Mr. It. ROFFEY, the High
Constable, the gang has been captured. The captain
of the gang is a fe►low who has not long since re-
turned from transportation, and goes by the name of
Williams, and for whom many considerable rewards"
have been offered, particularly at Bristol, where his
depredations were innumerable, as it is supposed no
less than 100 horses have been carried off and dis-
posed of by this gang. They were taken at Ayles-
bury by some countrymen, in consequence of printed
bills, containing a description of the robbers, which
l•ad been circulated by the High Constable. The
captain discharged a brace of pistols before he was
taken, but without effect. Two horses which they
bad with them have been identified as belonging to
Lord CADOGAN and Mr. LIESPIELD. The robbers
bad with them also a portmanteau, containing a com-
plete apparatus for house-breaking, &c. On Satur-
day last the prisoners underwent a long examination
in Aylesbury Jail, before Sir JOHN DASHWOOD and
a Bench of Magistrates, and were fully committed
for trial at the Assizes. The reward of £5OO which
was offered for the capture of Williams (who has
turned King's evidence), will, of course, fall to the
poor villagers who apprehended him.
