elowd wag attracted to this (Nice, to heti the c
flirtation of a learned Lady, named Rowe, and hit
daughter Ana, who, professing the power of priedis• •
ting future events, by means of a knowledoi in the
science of physiognomy, hut created much distur-
bance in the oetglibourhood where she resided, by
occasioning innumerable nocturnal applications for
the exercise of their skill. A blooming damsel of 17
WAS examined, who stated, that hearing of the fame
of a woman residing in the Spa-road, Bermondsey,
for telling fortunes, she repaired thither, and was in-
troduced by die prisoner Rowe to her daughter Ann,
whom she was informed was deif and dumb ;—that
having made her business known, Ann, the daughter,
made many signs, which Mrs. Rowe explaineil with
for of

great expeitnesss ; and the 'small expense one-
shilling, the informant was promised a most splendid
fortune, a young husband, and eight sweet pretty
babes. She left the house ofthe prisoners, highly de-
lighted with the prospect of so much happiness, and,
in the excess of her joy, could not raisin from com-
municating her good fortunes to others,Gatti it reached
the ears of May. and Goff, theatffieert, Who, being Un-
willing that so attach scientiet:knowledge, add Useful
skill, should be burled in obscurity, took immediate
measures for spreading the fame of Mrs. Rowe and
her daughter to this Office ; a place to which they
had never been able to foresee it would extend. A
Magistrate who resided near the spot where Mrs.
Rowe carried un her business, corroborated' the
statement, that many noisy visits were made to bar
house in the night time, to the great annoyance of the
neighbours. The prisoner Rowe admitted, that abe
and her daughter told fortunes; but denied that her
customers were so numerous as had been stated..
Mr.' Serjeant SULLON commited them both to gaol, sill
der the Vagrant Act, until the next Quarter-sessions.
MaNsiou House.--Yeitirday Peter Ndseis was
charged by W. Mostran, of the Unicorn pubtiehouse,'
in Tuolepstreet,:, with robbing him of articles to the,
amount of nearly etl.oo. The prisoner first came to
the house-of the prosecutor, about a week since, and'
begged a lodging, as a distressed seaman ; but, hay-'
ing good expectations, of receiving some money due
to him, promised he would soon lemunerate the land.:
lord. The latter, touched With his story, gave • him,
entertainment and a bed. In the morning he depu-
ted, but on Friday night, again gained admission,
and pretended to go to bed, but when up stairs,
found means to get into the room of the prosecutor'',
from whence he carried off a box, containing notes,'
cash, and wearing apparel, and contrived to escape
over the tops of the houses, until he reached a tree,
and so got into the highway. The wife of the laid-
lord, soon coming up stairs, missed the property, and,
upon alarming the prosecutor, the latter discovered,
the prisoner had fled. A number of watchmen and
constabit.3 were sent in pursuit ; but, by the acciden-
tal passing of a Gentleman, who saw him go into a
hackney coach, he was at length traced to a public-
!loose in Dark-house-lane, where he had obtained a
bed, by the side of which the property was found.—
He was remanded.
