Sunday evening, 14 one of the Bath and Bristol

st,ogrr fell from the roof ; he had he. n ohs, rvedl to
chink freely nt s..rne rum he h:id in his porker, the

Assizes, of the proprietors of the True Briton coach,
from Volk to Hull, as a compensation for the loss of
his le,z, through being upset in said coach—the acci-

The rcrh ILrald says 1".14 Whilst the itervants of
Sir CHARLES Kr4r, Bart. at his seat at Link Pan
ton, were last week biewing, some wicked incendiary
mixed in the liquor a quantity of blue vito id, evidently
with intent to poison the. fansi:y. Providentially scme
oldie vitriol remained undissolved amongst the dregs
when the ale was drawn off, which prevented the hor-
tid design king effected. A person, we bear, is
suspected, but no proofs have yet been ascertained."'
Early on Wednesday evening, a daring highway
robbery was committed in Painter's field, near Wit.,
chester, on an inhabitant of Otterbourne, named
Cheater, by two men, dressed in dark smock (rocks,
who met him not lar from a barn, drew long knives,'
aud demanded his money, the whole of which they
obtained, amounting to 1:00 in notes and silver.
Bow-arataT.—Eight persons were firought yester
day to this °lice, in custody of two Kiog's Messen-
gers and several Manchester •pelice officers, charged
with being concerned in the late plots at that place.
Immediately after their arrival, the twrs Messengers'
proceeded to the Secretary of State's Office for in-
structions as to the dispoial of the prisoners, when
they received orders to keep them in, custody until
this morning. They ate then to be taken to the Se-
cretary of State's Office, in order to be examined.—,
Tim whole were wretched looking ran, with scarcely]
a coat to their backs.
Yesterday afternoon, between two and dine '
as Lieutenant Downes was passing through the Strand,
near Essex-street, he was attacked, by a gang of rob.
bets one of whom was observed by a aihrleman- to
takea silver snuff box out of the Lieutenaot's pocket:
the Gentleman seised the villain. a scuffle ensued, in
which the robber contrived to put al* snuff box into
the pocket from which he bird taken it ; but Liente.
cant Downes was positive that, previous to the attack,
the snuff box was under his pocket baud kerchief, and
after the villain returned it, be fouud it at the top of
his handkerchief ; he secured the robber, and brought
him to the Office himself, when he was recognized to
be an old offender of the name of Henry Pope. He
was committed to Newgate for trial.
The escape of four prisoners Item Newgate must
be fresh in the recollection of our Readers. It was
reported recently, that one of them was taken into
cusroJy near Hereford, for a capital offence. Davis,
the turnkey,, went down to Hereford last week to
identify the man, and he turned out to be 'l'. Hardy.
w.bo stood for trial tor burglary. Hardy waastruck
motionless on seeing Davis, and it was some time be-
fore he could speak. Hardy was taken by the far-
mer's servant where he committed the robbery, in
escaping across a field ; and what is singular, the
man who took him is now sit, custody for felony in
the same prison.. As one of them must be pardoned
before he can give evidence against the other, it is
supposed Hardy, will escape that charge, and be
brought back to Newgate. Another singular piece
of news occerred daring Davis's travels. Bowerman,
another of the convicts who escaped with Hardy, is
living in the woods about Burford, commitiing
de-
predations with• fire arms, and setting the-maim,' al
defiance. His mother and sister, t morns, supply
him with food by day time. He is held in terror in that
part of the country, and no oat ventures to take hum
