LA M BETH-STREET.

P. Hurley, was charged with a highway robbery. Elizabeth
Beenley stated, that she was passing through George-yard, on Wed-
nesday night, when the prisoner put his arm round her neck, and
attempted to take the shawl from her shoulders; she resisted,
when he knocked her down, snatched the shawl, and fin into a
house, but was followed and secured by a watchman, who found
the shawl on a bed on which he was lying.—Fully committed.

• Ourzas.--Many persons suffered much during the
hot weather with bowel complaints, from eating oysters
of an inferior quality. Good and wholesome oysters
are plump and white, and the inside of the shells have
a clear and pearly appearance. When this is not the
case, and the fish appears lean and yellow, the oyster
is unwholesome.

An extensive seizure was made yesterday by Robert
Whittaker, one of the officers of the Customs, at Bromp-
ton—six coach loads, and one cart load of contraband
goods, consisting of tobacco, snuff, spirits, and paint-
ings, to the value of several thousand pounds.
Wednesday last, at Brechin, after baiting the horses
about ten o'clock at night, a person having occasion again to visit
the stable, discovered that the litter on which the poor animals stood
had caught fire, in consequence of which two of them were already
dead ; other two were got out immediately, but one of them died
about an hour afterwards, while the remaining horse was
with difficulty so far recovered as to be able to drink water. The
fire had scarcely reached them, the hair being merely singed on
some of their legs, so that it is supposed they died from suifocatioo.
Two of the three were valuable horses, belonging to the Glasgow
carrier, and one of them to the carrier from Stoothaven.
The following curious notice appears in the Jamaica
Courant of the 20th July :
" The Editor of this Paper was impelled yesterday anon to com-
mit a gross breach of the peace, from the irritation of beholding, in
a print of 'this city, the initials of his surname disgraced, by being
preceded by the name of a coloured woman who performed at the
Theatre on Saturday evening. The insult thus offered the Editor
was as unprovoked as the allusion was disgusting. The Mee.
thus mildly, perhaps unseasonably, reverts to the circumstance, wag
bound to abstain from all hostility by the most effectual interference
of the Magistracy!!
