POLIC.E.

CinumiAti.—Yesterd ty a woman narred Heiler
fueeto e , see vent at a late 1 base of 11-fame, in
(,utter-lace, Cheapside, was brought up tor exam -
nation, charged on suspicion of being the person who
set fire to the premises ; in tonsequence if si hich not
only the house was burnt to the ground, to the dad-
ger and alarm of the whole neighbourhood, bet see,
if not two lives were lost. The charge was brought
by a Mr. Lane, who resides in Gutter-lane ; and the
circumstances were as fellows :—About one yester-
day morning the neighbourhood was alarmed by the
cry of fire, and immediately afterwards it was found
that the flames had spread through the whole house,
and every thing from the cellar to the garret was in
a blaze. Two unfortunate persons, the one named
Watson, who had been rider furl a commercial house ;
in thcCity, and the other, a woman of the town,
named Story, both of whom had taken their lodgings
for the night on the second floor, roused from their
slumbers by the flames which enveloped them, jum-
ped, in a state of nakedness, from the wind •av of their
apartment into the street. Story was killed on the
spot, and Watson was carried to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, so desperately hurt, as to leave no hopes
of his recovery.
,Immediately after this unfortunate
occurrence, the prisoner, who was known to have
been a servant in the house, was observed in the street
with a bundle of apparel in her hand which she said
had belonged to the Persons who leaped from the
windbw, and that she was going to carry them to the
Hospital. She also said, that the house had been
set on fire by a woman of the town, whose name she
knew—whom she had seen before—a ho was, in the
course of the evening, twice introduced to a room on
the first floor—and who, the second time, set fire to
the apartment, and ran away. She disci vered the
fire shortly afterwards, and found the thole house':
in flames. The circumstance which attached suspi-
' cion to her was the mysterious account she gave of
the woman whom she alledged to have set fire to the
house, but of whose name or residence she could! give
I no account ; and the apparel, consisting of the unfor-
I tunate Storyi gown and Mr. Watson's breeches
found in her possession ; and which could not have
been taken from the room where they slept, after
, their desperate attempt to escape without the most
imminent risk—if not the moral certainty—of de-
struction to the person who should venture to go
there. It also appeared from the evidence of some
young men, friends of the unfortunate Mr. Watson,
that when they parted from him oft the preceding
evening, he had money in his pocket, and a watch in
his fob, with gold chain and seals. The prisoner, in
' her defence, stated, that she .found the clothes in the
staret, after the parties had jumpcu from the window;
and supposing them to have been thrown out, she
I took them up, to carry them toalie -Avners, then
I taken to the Hospital. No appearance of dirt, how-
ever, was on the garments, although the street into
which sae stated they were thrown was di epty covered
1 with mud, alter a day et. heavy rain ; and they must
I have unavoidably been trampled on by the crowd as-
sembled. The Magistrate conceiving there was no
positive evidence to bring home to the prisoner the
charge of arson, ordered the prisoner to be dismissed.
Two women, named Elizabeth Seers and Mary
Adams, were examined on a ch4ge of stealing two
e ildren, with their clothes, the one a boy about faur
1 years old, and the ether a boy about eighteen months,
belonging to a labouring man in Union-court, oppo-
; site to St. Andrew's Chord-, Holborn-hill, on Sun-
. day morning last, and both were committed for trial.
IManetionoccir sr it Eer.--Thomar Gannon was
I charged with saailing 12 watches and two time-
pieces, from a youth named Jones, apprentice of a
watchmaker in Clerkenwell, who vas seet with the
1 • articles to some shops, when he was met by the pri-
-1 soner in the street, who stated that lie was on his way
for the timepieces, which a gentleman was waiting
for. The unsuspecting lad gave them out of his
possession on the faith of .this story, and he also
managed by artifice to get possession of the watches.
The youth, however, followed him, and finding he
did not go to the place, gave an alarm, when he was
secured, and fully committed for trial.
Bow-eraser.— Yesterday, between 11 and l 2
o'clock, as two females, genteelly dressed, were
passing the end of the Mall, opposite the Queen's
Palace, they were rudely accosted by a man with a
large open clasp knife, in a position as if he intended
to cut them down ; they screamed our, ran away,and
.
e.c caped from him into Pimlico. After they bad
escaped, he went up to a man who had the appear-
ance of a porter, and in a more direct manner at-
tempted to stab him, but he also 4voided the attack
and escaped. A gentleman who had observed his
' outrageous conduct, watched him into the White
' Horse public-house in Pimlico, went in search of a
, Police Officer, and found Nicholls in the Park, who
I went there, took him into custody, got him quietly
LI across the Park to the Office, where he underwent
I an examination ; when it appeared that a soldier ors
duty at the Queen's Guard, had taken the knife
from him. Neither of the females, nor the man he
had attacked attended e—but the gentleman who
had observed- his conduct fully proved the above
statement. He said his name was Erasmus Hooper,
he had been an offi:er in the navy, and had been ex-
tremely ill-treated ; as he should have been Post
Captain, instead of which he had been tried upon
false charges by a Court Martial and had been broke.
On searching him, papers were. found which fully
proved him to be the man he represented himself to
be. Application was made at a Navy Agent's in
the Adelphi, whom he referred to, who acknow-
ledged having been his agent, and said the prisoner
had been there yesterday, when his conduct was such
that there was no c:oubt but he was deranged. He
was therefure'ordered to be detained.

1 The inhabitants of Northampton have, as expres-
sive of their grief for the loss ut Mr. PeacEvaL,hung
with black the church of All Saints, in that place,
! voted a monument to be erected within it to his me-
mory, and agreed to wear mourning for a fortnight.
The invalids selected some time since, by Dr.
Wrait, from Forton and the prison-ships, amounting
to upwards of SOO, are to be immediately sent to
France; preparations are accordingly making for
their conviyance, and it is determined if any ofthem
I attempt to barter their turn, or change names, so as
to allow of others going, that both parties will be
kciotely confined and not allowed to go to France Oil
am account, until the end of the war.
