GLASGOW, Dn. 12,

Friday evening, about six o'clock, a daring robbery
was committed withio three hundred yards of the Cum-
bernauld Inn, upon an English traveller, in the stationery
line. While he was driving his gig slowly along, three
men passed him, one of whom, when they got as far as
the horse's head, seized the bridle, upon which the other
two turned round and tossed the traveller out of the gig,
robbing him of 28 sovereigns and his pocket-book, in
which were two bills on Newcastle. They also carried
away the contents of the gig-box ; and although an
immediate and active search was made after the rob
bees by the inhabitants of the village, who turned out
manfully, no traces of them have yet been discovered.
Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, a Gentleman
stopped a suspicious-looking character on the Wood-
side road, carrying a large bundle. On challenging
him, the fellow drew a knife, and threateaed to cut the
Gentleman's throat. A scuffle ensued, and the suspected
manmade his escape ; not, however, without leaving
part of the contents of the bundle behind him, which
consisted of a web of woollen cloth. The cloth, and a
coarse sheet which was along with it, were partially
wet, and they had the appearance of I aving been stolen
from a carrier's cart. Information we understand was
immediately lodged by the Gentleman a; the Police-
office, that the proper owner of the cloth might Eet it
restored.

Monday evening, the 4th inst. as the Perth Mail was
proceeding from this city, the guard observed the road
at the north end of the village of Denny completely
blocked up by fifteen carts, loaded with whisky, be.
longing to Alloa and Tullibody; and although the
guard repeatedly sounded his horn, no person appeared
to take charge of them, and he was under the necessity
of alighting, in order to lead the carts aside to make
room for the coach to pass, when he was violently as.
saulted by the caters, struck and abused till be bled
profusely from the ear ; and it was not without danger
that the coach got past, as it came in contact with some
of the carts, to the great alarm of the pa-sengers.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

VOW-STREET.

Wednesday morning, as soon as the business commenced, a re-
spectable looking young man, who stated his name to be George
Smith, applied for a warrant against Mr. Charles Long, a GLntk-
man hulling a situation in his Majesty's Household at Carlton
House, for an assault.

lie stated, that he was passing through the lobby of the Adelplii
Theatre on Tuesday evening, when he was accosted impudently by
a woman of the town. Ile pu.hed her gently aside, and she imme-
diately struck him in the mouth, and at the same moment a genteel
looking min came up, asked him how he dared to strike a woman ?
and immediately gave him a blow on the nose. The applicant de-
manded his name and address, anti he replied " I am Mr. Charles
Long, of Carlton House," and applicant then suffered him to depart,
intending to seek redress here.
A warrant was issued, but Mr. Long, on receiving the visit of
the Officer, declared with much surprise that he knew nothing of
the matter. Ile however expressed his willingness to attend, and
came accompanied by two Gentlemen, friends of his.
When Mr. Long entered the Office the complainant was sent for,
and desired to state his case, b►►t havi►►g looked round, he said the
offender was not present. An explanation took place, and Mi.
Smith assured Sir it. Brame that Mr. Long was not at all like the
person who had assaulted him, and that it must have been some
fellow who by accident happened to know Mr. Long by tame, and
was dastardly enough to nuke use of it.
1...14 said it was singular enough that he and his two friends
were at the Adelphi on Tuesday night ; hut a the time (10 o'clock)
that the assault was said to have taken place, they were out supping
at Coveney's Tavern.
Mr. Smith expressed his 'meow that Mr. Long should have bean
subjected to the inconvenience of attending here, but the latter
treated the matter with the most perfect good humour, and there it
ended fur the present.
