Bow-trilker.—efeitu' Sintnoni, the- driver • of th
Gloucester Mail Coach, was yesterday brought upfot
a final examination, on a charge of embezzling Bank
notes .of the value of £56, the property of 'Mr. Cape].
stock-broker. The charge against the prisoner be-
ing clearly substantiated, he was fully committed
for trial.
A number of young men were brought before the
Magistrate, charged with havingbeest aiding and abet=
ting in riotous proceedings at Covent-garden Theatre, •
on Monday night. The most serious charge against
any of them was against a ritutrman who is a clerk •
in the Office of the Commandet itl Chief, and whe was
alleged to have been seen kieking,one of the box doors
' off the hinges. The young man pleaded, that having
dined with some friends he was semewhat inebriated,
and that he was induced to mist in the general cla-
mour by the example of all about him. He acknow-
ledged his error, and expressed his regret for it ; 'but
lie was held to bail for his appearance at the Sessions.
The other charges were for making a noise, attempt-
' ing to putout the candles, and other such crimes and
misdemeanors. The young men had been all night in
custody, and they were ordered to find bail for their
appearance, which therdid instantly and were libe-
rated.
UNION-HALL.—Yesterday Mr. Elision underwent his
final examination, when Mr. HostriinErs repeated his
arguments in favour of his being admitted to bail.—
Sir J. PISHORNE observed, that could he follow his
own inclination, he would accede to this wish, hut
his duty called on him to commit him for trial ; an
application, however, might be made to a Judge,
who, he had no doubt, would admit him to bail. It
was his opinion, that en the evidence as it now stood,
the Grand Jury would not find a bill against the prig
soner. Mr. lIIINIPIIREYB said, he- should adopt the
-course which Sif J. PINIIORNE recommended. Mr. 1
Eliston was then fully committed.
Holland was charged by Mrs. Woodring,
of Pitt's-place, Kent-road,• with stealing a shawl',
worth three guineas. The prisoner on Sunday- last
went to Mrs. Woodring's house, when finding that
the family were out, she represented herself to the
servant as Mrs. Woodring's niece, and said she
should rest herself for a few minutes ; she soon after
requested the servant would let her have something to
eat, saying, she had walked all the way from Dept-
ford. The servant having heard her mistress men-
tion a niece living at Deptford, laid the cloth, and
the pi isoncr made a very hearty dinner, frequently
regretting that she should not be able to see her aunt
before she left town ; perceiving a shawl lying on the
sofa, she enquired if it were her aunt's ? and being
answered in the affirmative, said she would harrow it
to go home in, and keep it till her aunt, whom her
mamma was very anxious to see, should come to
Deptford. Her aunt, however, enquired for it sooner
than she expected, and the niece not being able con-
veniently to return it, she having kindly left it with her
uncle, was under the necessity of making her appear-
ance before a Magistrate, when she was remanded
for another examination.

THAMES. POLlCE.—Ycsterday N. Mrs and J. Bell
were fully committed, charged with stealing some
spa:-s from a wharf on the river side.
MAitizonovott-sritEEr.—Three men were yester-
day charged at this Office with having forged and
uttered fictitious 11. Bank notes, thousands of which
have lately been put into circulation. As others of
the party arc not yet taken into custody, it would
defeat the aim of justice to state particulars.
Yesterday, "as a boy was at play in Ray-street,
Clerkenwell, a cart threw him down, when one of
the wheels passed dyer his face, and tore part of his
nose away. _ _

Last week as Mr. Holm, surgeon, was returning
in his gig to Walworth, with his wife and infant, ow-
ing to a heap of gravel in the road near the Asylum,
without a light, the horse fell, overturned the chaise,
and seriously hurt Mrs. HOLT. When the animal re-
covered, he set off with the broken chaise, and was
not heard of for two days afterwards. It is notorious,
that several accidents have happened from dui same
infamous negligence.
A. REMEDY FOR THE AM:E.—One ounce of Peru-
vian bark finely pounded, 4 of an ounce of common
green copperas, of an ounce of Jamaica pepper, beat
fine ; mix these well in molasses. The size of a nut-
meg to be taken three times a day, when the fit is
off, and a draught of warm ale after each dose. It
may be reasonable to conjecture that the ale is a ma-
terial
-part of the cure, since it is well known that yeast
or fermented malt liquor checks the progress of pu-
trid diseases, but if the patient be in a country where
no ale can be obtained, be must substitute warm water
gruel or weak wine and water, to dilute the copperas.
