The New York papers arrived in Town yeller-
day to the 23d of Oftober inclufive, but they con-
tain no material news. A paper of the zzd, men-
tions, that for feveral days the Ilreets and lanes of
New York had been infelled by a riotous gang of
feamen, parading with drums beating, and colours
flying, &c. for the purpofe of raifing their wages
from ten to fourteen dollars. For fome time they
flopped all the (hipping that attempted to go to
fea, until the affittance of the Mayor and other
peace officers were called in, who, in the attempt
to fupprefs their proceedings, wounded feveral of
the ringleaders, who are committed for trial.

A further account of the Riots at Newcaftle :
For this week ink the feamen of this port and at
Sunderland, having refufed to go to fea unlefs
their wages - were advanced to fix guineas the
voyage, feveral fcenes of violence and diforder
were manifefted, which all the influence and au-
thority of our Chief Magiftrate, could hardly re-
prefs. To accommodate as much as poifible the
fubfifting differences, and effstually to prevent all
future altercations, we underitand the Mayor very
prudently propofed, that on all occafions the wages
of feamen Ihould bear a certain proportion to the
price of coals ; but whether this principle is to be
aged upon, we cannot fay. At Sunderland, how-
ever, we are informed all differences have been
adjufted, and the trade has recovered its wonted
tem and 'vigour. At Shields, feveral of the ring-
leaders who had recourfe to rioting, have been ap-
prehended. Thole fillers who were difpofed to
adt peaceably, have received their demands, and
the loaded !hips have fence proceeded to lea.

Thurfday nineteen prifoners were tried, two of
whom were capitally convicted, viz.

John Maharney, for felenioufly being at large, wltlinut any
lawful caufe, before the expiration of the term for which he
had been ordered to be tranfported.
John Vickers' for Reeling feveral half-guineas and feven
ling pieces, and a quantity of flyer, the property of Charles
Robertfon, on the asth of November.

Mr. Rob ertfon keeps a public houfe at Limehoufe; by mif-
take bad left a bag containing the money on the beer-machine;
next morning, on his wife's going down hairs, he heard her
call for the prifoner, who was his fervant, he immediately went
down when he miffed his money, and the prifoner was gone.
The p roner was apprehended in the courfe of the day, when
he faid he was Corry, and hoped the profccutor would not ap-
pear againft him. The prifoner con feffed to having robbed him
of upw.rds of 301. fix or feven pounds of which he had laid out.
Mary Flyu faid, the prifoner came to her in the morning, and
Paid his father had fent him vol. to take him home ; went with
h.m to buy fome clothes, he left his old ones at her houfe ; went
dab him to a public-houfe where the prifoner gave her a
pocket-book, which the delivered to the Officer.

J. Knowland apprehended the prifoner, and produced the
pocket-book, which contained 54 feven-fhilling pieces, fix half-
guineas, and fome filver ; corroborated the prifoner's having
cunfeffed his forrow tor the robbery; and that the prifoner Paid
he bad bought a watch and fome clothes with part of the mo-
ney. Guilty Death, but recommended to mercy by the Jury,
upon •he fcore of Ws having reftored part of the money, and
confeffing his willingnefs to make every poffible atonement for
his offence.—Nine were convidted of felony, viz.
James Kitchener, for felonioufly dealing a piece of linen and
cotton cheque, the property of Marmaduke Strother; and Binh
Arthur ago for receiving the fame, knowing them to be doles),
on the Itch of November laft. Mr. Strother is a linen draper
in Drury-lane : that he was ii formed by one of his people that
the articles dated in the indidment had been Bolen ; in confe-
quence of advice from one of the Bow-Brett Officers, he went
to a houfe in Diet-ftreet, where &only afterwards Croaker
came in with the prifoner, when his fervent, Mountain, im-
mediately knew him to be the perfon. Croakei the Officer,
found the pieces of cheque on the woman, which the profecutor
could not (wear to, as the private mark was gone, though it in
every refped appeared the fame as the one stolen.
John Mountain was !landing on the oppofite fide of the way;
faw the prifoner take the piece of cheque from Mr. Strother's
fhop, and run off with it.
Croaker, in confequence of the defcription given him, appre-
hended Kitchener; left him in cuftedy, and, from informa-
tion, went to the apartments of the prifoner, Sarah Arthur, and,
hid under an old coat, found the piece of cheque. Limbrick,
alfo an Officer, remained with the prifoner Arthur, when the
told him that the bought the cheque of Kitchener, and was
obliged to pawn to rale the money.
On the part of Kitchener an alibi was fet up. A man of the
name of Lee, who keeps the King's Arms public-houfc, in
Drury-lane, fwore, that on the Itth of November he was at his
houfe molt of the morning.
Justice Gaosa, in fumming up, obferved, and he wifhed
tradefmen to attend to it, that he thought, in fuch a town as
this, where there are fo many idle and wicked people, it was
their duty fo to difpofe of their goods as to render th: difficulty
of taking them away more than it fometimes was, as no temp-
tation of the cafe, with which a felony could be committed,
Ibould be held out.
Verdid—Kitchener Guilty of dealing to the value of 39s.—
Sarah Arthur, Not Guilty.
J. Haynes, for ftealing fix fiver tea-fpoons and other articles,

rus, for dealing a trunk and two pair of breeches, the property

containing fundry articles of wearing apparel, in I.ewkner's-
bne, in the parifh of St. Giles : the profecutrix in this cafe fwore
to the prifoner's having knocked her down in the dreet,,.nd took
the bundle from her. In her crofs-examination the confefil-d
being drunk at the time, and alfo to her having been drinking
with the prifoner and her aunt.

The Learned Judge, in futuming up, obferved, that as the
profecutrix was not in a ftate of recoledtion at the time, and
that as no article Paid to he in the bundle was found, and there
alfo appeared a contradietion of lads, as oated by the profe-
cutrtx, he diredled tke Jury, if they felt any doubt, to acquit
the prifoner, particularly as this was a capital offence.—Not
Guilty.

Catherine Mcad, John Doran, Elizabeth Wilde, Sarah Ar-
thur, Ann Gertnainr, W. Smith, and T. Lewis.

Yefierday fourteen prifoners were tried, two of
whom were capitally conviaed, viz.
Margaret Ratlthaw, for fte-aling three cotton gowns, and
other articles, value 4os. and upwards, the property of James
Hayland, in his dwelling-horde. Guilty—Death.
A perfon of the name of Finlay, who, it appeared, had
formerly held a commilfi, n in one of the Militia Regiments',
was indidted for forging a Bill of Exchange, and uttering thz
fame, knowing it to he forged, with intention to defraud fir.
Henthaw, watchmaker, Holborn.

By the evidence of Mr. Henfhaw and his fervant, of Mr.
Sykes, jun. Navy-agent, in Arundel-ftreet, of Mr. Wilhant
Bradthaw, broker, in Drury-lane, and of Mars. Dalton, pu-
lice•officere, the following detail of the circumftances of this
fraud was brought before the Court. —On the 27th of Septem-
ber, Finlay, the prifoner, called at the fhop of Mr. Hettfhaw,
the profecutor, and alked at what price he might have the belt
gold time-keeper that could be made ? And. after lonic con-
verfation, ordered a time-keeper, at the price of 65 gtdneast
to be preps tSa: for lim again{! taturdof &Mow nit. The

der. He deferibed Ma& as Captain Pont. of the Royal Navysl
then Raying at the Hummunts, in Covent-Garden. On the
Saturday he did not *turn He came, however on the Mon-
day ft. lowing ; but as Mr. Henlhaw was not himfelf then at
home, declined taking the time-keeper. Next dayotalech was
Tuefday, the sd of Odoher, he returned, found Mr. Henfltaw
his 'hop, received and approved the tine-keeper, and gave
Payment for it in two bills of exchange; one for 421. the other
for the remainder of the turn due. The former of theft bills,
the fubjed of this indidment, was produced by the witnefs,
and was exprefild in theft words:—.
Si a—Twenty-one days atter date, pay to my order, the turn
'421. Reeling, value received.
Jeues FOOT, Captain in the Royal Navy.
To Mr. Sykes, Nary-agent, Arundel-ftreet, in the Strand.
r. Sykes's acceptance followed. Mr. Henlhaw took the bills
in payment for his time-keeper without fufpicion ; and thepri-
fiver left his ibnp. B: tas the pretended-acceptanee of Mr.
Sykes was in a hand-writing fo faint as to be fearcely legible,
the witnefs immediately fent his fervent to the houfe of Mr,
Sykes, to learn whether the bill had been actually accepted.—
The fervent was informed of its forgery. Mr. Henfhaw became
fenfibk on his return that he had been nefarioully fwindled in
the tranfadion. He made application at the polite-office, in
Bow-ftreet, and a hand-bill was iffued, and other fuitable
means were employed, to procure the prifmer to be taken and
brought to jultice. The prifoner bad not been two days mefter
of the time-keeper, when he went to difpole of It to a pawn-
broker in Ileury-lane. He had, on the Monday evening, left
two telefeopes in pawn at the fame place. He offered the time-
keeper for fele on the Wednefday. To prove that he had
himfelf obtained it honeftly, and that its value was 65 guineas,
be produced Mr. Henihaw's receipt for the price. The pawn-
broker, to juege whether it were of the value pretended, wifhed
it to be opened. and requefted the prifoner to leave it with him
for the- purpore. The prifonse chofe rather to take it away,
and thing it back open. Before his return, a hand-hill, iffued
from the Office in Bow-Rre t, was commuaieated to the pawn-
broker, and made him aware of the nature of the tmnfadlon
by which the time-keeper came into the panacea poffeffion.—.
Within a few hours he again appeared, and prefented the time-
keeper open. While he Rood in the Chop, Mr. Bradiltaw fent a
meffenger to Bow-Stet. The prifoner, as they talked, bear-
ing a noife at the door, alked—" what occafioned that noife r
The pawnbroker anfwered, that it arofe from the means em. ,
Flirted to commit the prifoner to the cuftody of the officers of
the pollee. Finlay intreated him not to fend to Bow-firect, but
to Mr. Henflutw, who, he doubted not, would he content to
take back his watch, and let him go. Mr. Bradthaw had al-
ready fent to the °flee in Bow-amt. Finlay was, of (cork
taken into cuftody, and by the Magill:etc committed to prifon
for this triaL The forgeries of the acceptance of Sykes, and
of the signature of Foote. were clearly evinced by the evidence.
The prifoner behaved with remarkable fortitude and cafe.—
tie offered no defence, but that be had no recolledion of the
tranfadions. and mid have been under an alienation of mind
when they were committed. The witneffes being again quer.
tinned by the Judge, declared that he bad rather exhibited in his
interviews with them remarkable coolnefs, Ihrewdnefs and fell-
poffdfion•—The Chevalier Rufpini, the only witnefs who ap-
his behalf, Paid that he knew him five or fix year,
reret,d In
as a very honeft and agreeable man.
The jury readily Rave in their verdict, finding the Pacing'
Guilty of the forgeries.
On the other inadments for fimilar sas of fraud and fore
gery, tt was judged unneceffary, after this capital convidioa,
to try the prifoner. Many other &aches:pert and pawnbrokers
were &attendance to give evidence againit him, and many arti-
cles which be bad fraudulently obtained from the & Timelier*
and deposited with the pawnbrokers, were likewife produced.
'There were fourteen other indictments for various ofitnees
sad a great number of rawnbrokers attended to receive the
opie.ion of the Court, whether they fhouid give op the articles
nto the rcfpcdtive tradefmai from whom they had been
edulendy obtained ? Mr. Knapp addreffed the Common the
p st of the perform to whom the things originally belonged ;
when Mr. Jufliee Geese, who tried the eaufe, ordered the
irticlgeto hernonsed to the nadefinen they belonged to, ob-
(erring, the pawnbrokers might chunk whether to bring their
uV.or not.

minutes diet he remained at the bar, after the jury had given
their verdid, preferved the molt competed and indifferent fort
of demeanour, cooverfing with the great& apparent sok even
after be beard his fate pronounced.
Eight were convicted of felony, viz. •
Bridget Bake. for (tailing a cotton ®awl, the property of
P. Bulger; W. Jones, for !Waling two thins and ether articles,
the property of R. Lamb; lfabella Collier, for fintlinf

Mifs Green ref •ted on oath the principal incidents of the al-
leged robbery. On the evening of Tudday. Nov. st, the went
do bed, after fitutdog the doors and windows of the bode.—
Waco the aroCc, about the hour of eight next morning, the
*times at one of the windows, in one of her principal rooms,
bad been torn out from their place; the ears done of the lathes
was broken, and the articles named in the indictment were not
to be found where the had depofited them, nor at all within
the hook. The panties., her m .id-fervant, was with her, but A
neither Sewed confeioutnefs of guilt, nor met from Mitt
Green, on the occafion, any treatment indicating fufpicion.—
On the Saturday following, Nov. z 3, Mifs Green, haying made
no difeovery refpeding the theft and the difrital of the proper-
ty. procured Edward Rogers, a pollee officer, to examine the
!tate of the windov, by width the things leaned to have been
enameled rway. Rogers now &Pored, that the ropes on whirl •
Abe ',eights of the fakes were hung. had been awkwardly cut;
and that the hole in the slats was fo mall, that no hand or knife
could have been put in to cut them from without. The haute be
Add was lofty, and the window being on the floor, up one pair
of Rain, fo high that the girl could team have gone out from
it 'sitk berplunder. He, however, tufpeded the • for
the author of the robbery, and informed her ftrefs that it
would be proper for him to take her into ettftody. Hefearchod
bee perks delicately and Sightly, but found about her none
et the property that was loft. He left her in confinement at
a public bonfe.near till further enquiries Itould be made. On
the Monday,. he returned, and in the pretence of* woman and
Smother man, made a new leach, to whie thc pritnner reluc-
tantly fubmitted. He now found in one of her pockets, betide I
tome letters, which the might be unwilling to thew, two pieces
of making between four and five yards, which Mifs Green
afterwards claimed as her property. Notwithftanding the ac-
knowledged difficulty of identifying a piece of Lee that has not
peculiar marks, Mifs Green now again, on her oath, affirmed
thofe piece. of lace to be a part of the amides which the loft on
the night between the ,th and zoth of November. A bundle
containing the other articles, was, on the Saturday, found by
Daniel White, at a mile's 41.3tance from Mifs Green's haute.
The prifoner, in her defence, duel red the knew nothing of
the matter, but what Ike had heard her miftrefs, and the other
"'limas now relate.

John Sumner Scdley, Efq. a gentleman evidently advanced
in years, brother-in-law to Mira Green, being called by Mr.
Hart, Coned for the prifoner, Paid that be had been acquaint-
ed with her Gnu the tyth of February, that the had poffered
and never betrayed the confidante of Mifi Green and himfelf ;
that be believed her to be as bench as any young woman liv-
ing ; that he was now willing to take her into his fender., if the
amid be difmiffed in freedom from the bar. Mrs. Blackatter,
and (event other reputable pathos, in whole fervice the had
Rived, fpoke in favour of her charade:, with equal warmth.—
Mifs Green, with great real, again akendal the fie. ion for the
witneffes, and affirmed, that her brother (poke thus favourably
of the prifoner, becaufe he was in particular correfpoadence
with her.

-7fhe fury fond her Not Guilty, on the ground that at the
dirit tench by Rogers none of the property loft had been 'found
on her Krim. She is a young and uncommonly bandfome
