HOMILY ET A SCIAVAST...— Gene ETlWard Hatt was put to the liar,'
charged with robbing his employer, Mr. J. Pitman, jeweller, of No.
577, Strand, of goods and money to a considerable amount. The
prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, and the greatest confi-
dence reposed in him until lately, when the prosecutor discovered
the system the prisoner was carrying on. There were several dis-
tinct charges of fraud against him, hut Mr. Pitman confined himself
to two, in support of which he adduced evidence sufficient to warrant
the commitment of the prisoner.
Three notorious characters, named Charles Jones, Alfred Gad win,
and George Haines, were charged with picking the pocket of a Gen-
tleman, wko did nut appear, last night. near St. Clement's Church.

until they made the attempt, but the Gentleman declined proteed-
•ing against them.

an opportunity of following their canine for sometime; and unless
they could give a better account. than the one they now attempted,
he should convict then), which was accordingly done. I

The Duke of SUSSEX left Holkham on Saturday, and
proceeded to Colonel WILDMAN'S seat, Newstead Abbey,which was
purchased a few years ago by the Colonel from Lord BYSON. The
cause of his Royal Highness's so soon quitting the hospitable man-
sion of Holkham, was the melancholy decease of Lady SOPHIA
MACDONALD which has thrown the whole of the families at Holt-1
ham and Quidenham into the deepest distress. Lady SOPHIA was
the eldest daughter of Lord ALBEMARLE, and bad not been mar-
ried above five years to Mr. MACDONALD, son to the late Lord Chief
Baron, and M. I'. for Caine.

Miss FOOTE, the lovely Actress, who a few days since
was on the eve of being united to Mr. Ilkysies, a wealthy Com-
moner, residing in Wiltshire, is for the present disappointed of that
happiness. The morning appointed for the happy event had ar-
rived—a sumptuous breakfast was provided by the father of the
intended bride—the Clergyman was in wafting, and nothing but the
presence of the Gentleman was wanting to consummate the cere-
mony. It appears that he bad come to town for the express pur-
pose, and had taken up his residence at Long's Hotel, in Bond-
street, to which place, after the appointed hour had elapsed, a mes-
senger was dispatched, when it was found that his friends, averse
to the match, had locked him in his chamber. Under a similar
confinement the messenger was immediately placed ; and a second
messenger, who soon after arrived, ,hared the like fate. At length
sonic of the Lady's friends went in quest of the lover, and reached
Long's just at the moment he was stepping into his carriage, which
conveyed him into the country. Thus has terminated the hopes of
Mr. Foots and his beautiful daughter.

good voice, and she was encored in all the airs she sung ; Mrs.
&mow, Miss Seernans, amid Mr. 1311411 AX sung uncommonly
well, and were warmly applauded. Before it began, a certificate,
from Madame Ds BEGNIIe Doctor, was read, purporting, that in
consequence of the indisposition of her husband, this Lady was pre-
vented attending the performance. Madame CATALAN' and Mr. 1 1
Iliwian offered then tie sing two airs more, which offer was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and the performance of Nthat evening had
such an unbounded success, that the crowd, next morning, at
the Church was so great, that the sale of Tickets was obliged to
be stopped.,,

charging hint with robbing a Gentleman of his pocket book, contaip.
ing cash and notes of hand to a considerable amount. The Oistmer,
though young in years, has been tried and convicted no less than

hid the property, though the prosecutor could to swear that he
actually took it. This, however, was clearly proved to have bora
