—La Belle 4rmsll:e.

Tuesday sifnnight, a woman who had taken her
ftl:ice to Newcastle, was delivered of a child, on the
felegraph Coach, just m the entrance into Harrow-
gate. The coach was fortunately only about one
hundred yards from a cottage, where the child, a fine
boy, was taken in an apron, squalling, and the wo-
man conveyed in an arm-chair. We are glad to state
that both the mother and child arc doing very well
in more senses of the word than one; as the Ladies of
Harrowgate have liberally supplied her with clothes,
and a collection has been made for her to the amount
of about 301.

In Russia, military promotion commences with the
birth of any son of the Irnperill Family. The pre-
sent Emperor had the good fortune to be born a
Field-Marshal, and the your-7er wn of the Grand
Duke Nicholas, who is about three months old, has
already been appointed Colonel of a regiment of Hus-
sars. In the Petersturgh Gazelle of that year, the birth
of the Grand Duke Alexander, now the Emperor, 'is
thus announced, " This morning, her Majesty the
Empress, was saMy delivered of a Field-Marshal!"
The celebrated Mrs. MARY ANN CLARKE, and her
family, have arrived at Havre.

Hawkins ani Perry, two constables, were yester-
day brought before Air. l'Artunsr, at Marlborough.
street Police-Office, charged by M'Donnell, one of
the watchmen of the Parish of St. Mary-la-Bonne,
with breaking the peace. Mrs.. Eden, commonly
known as the keeper of Mother Windsor's brothel, in
King's-place, said, that the two officers came to her
house and were exceedingly impertinent, outragcons,
and low • that she did not choose to be annoyed by
such vulgar fellows!—Perry in his defence said, that
a young Lady, named Brown, the daughter of a re-
spectable Gentleman, had been traced to this house
about three weeks or a month ago ; that this woman
had persuaded the unhappy father that his daughter
was bent upon leading a life of prostitution, and pre-
vailed upon him to leave her there, as it would be
better for her than walking the street. l'.!rr. Brown,
added Perry, desired me to call occasionally to in-
quire about her, anit I did call for that purpose ; it
was surprising that M,Donnell betrayed so much
jealousy on the appearance of constaWes.--Hawkins
said, seeing Perry ill-used, he had interfered.—: per-
son, named Bedpan, spoke to the orderly behaviour
of the constables, and prefc;red a charge of assault
against M.Donnell: Mr. I:ARRANT—The best thing
I can do is to send you all to the Sessions ; there you
sray indict and cross-indict ; this seems the best way
to settle the business; and thus terminated the case.

it appears by a statement that has been made re-
specting the Devon and Exeter Savings Bank, that
the amount, on the 25th instant, was 62,1641.85. l I d.
arising out of deposits from Is. to 50i. each, from
the lower orders of society.
.The sum of 2,4001. has
been deposited in one week, but the average is 10001
weekly.
It is a consolation to the industrious mechanic, and
persons of moderate income, who are afflicted, to
know, they may have the best advice, gratis, if they
attend at certain hours, namely, Tuesday, Thursday,
and Sunday mornings, until one o'clock, at the Medi-
cal Board, Grcat Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-mad.
That thousands suffer from improper treatment is a
fact—the latent seed of a dreadful disease lurks in
the system, destroys domestic happiness, and entails
debility on the rising generation. The Medical Board
' claims the attention of those afflicted with Strictures,
Fistulas, Cancers, Scrophulas, Nervous Debilities,
Eruptions, ulcerated throat, pains in the head and
limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, nodes in
*he shin bones, Jac. Messrs. COOPER and Co. after
forty years practice in various Hospitals abroad and
in this metropolis, are consulted atWoodstock-street,
Oxford-street, daily, from eight till eight ; and at the
Medical Board, Charlotte-House, Great Charlotte-
street, Blackfriars-road, precisely from twelve until
eight in the evening.—•.• Ruptured Patients, whose
tumours exceeded 24 inches, have had them returned,
to the surprise of the Medical Profession..--t .11. A
side door, and private rooms fur females.

MANSION' floust.--Yesterday the Justice Room
waw more than usually crowded, it being pretty Fe-
nerally known that a case of a very gross imposition
was to be investigated. Mr. ANDREWS, the Barrister,
attended for the prosecution, and Mr. HARMER for
the prisoner. A well-dressed Jew, who said his name
was William Leigh, was put to the bar. He was re-
presented on the prosecution side as having several
names, and having appeared before the 011ie on
various occasions. His prosecutor, John Millingen,
a jeweller, resident in St. Mary Axe, stated that the
prisoner came to him three months ago, and had
dealings with him for jewellery to the amount of
£2OO, which sum was put down upon delivery; soon
afterwards the prisoner again came to him, and ob-
tained a very fine watch, chain, and seals, and a dia-
mond brooch ring, for which he said he would give
him the acceptance of a respectable Solicitor. The
prisoner, in the course of conversation, said that he
was a merchant from Calcutta, and had come over
to this country with a'fortune of £14,000 in bills and
investments in the house of Campbell and Co. He
shewed the prosecutor several papers on the house of
Forbes in Ely-place, and left no doubt upon Millin-
gen's mind that the representation.was correct. The
watch, chain, and seals were first delivered to him,
value £2B. The prisoner then produced a bill drawn
upon the Solicitor to whom we have alluded, for up-
wards of £6O. The only thing it wanted was the
acceptance. A letter from the prosecutor to the pri-
soner was produced. It was written a month after
the trick, and admitted that the writer conceived the
prisoner had done the mischief intentionally. The
prosecutor said, the reason he had not prosecuted be-
fore this was, that the prisoner had promised to settle
the matter.--Notice of bail was ordered to be given,
nd the prisoner was delivered to the care of an officer.
MA aLsonouoti-STREET.—Yesterday a gentleman
of the name of llibbert was charged with horsewhip-
ping the foreman of Mr. Adams, coachmaker, in the
Haymarket. It was stated that Mr. llibbert called to
find fault with the condition of a coach which was
engaged by him, when the foreman took occasion to
insult him.—Both parties put in bail to appear at the
' next Sessions for Middlesex.
UNION HALL.,rBHEEI"-STEALINGeraMCS Pegiy
and William Ray, fuher and son, were yesterday
charged with stealing a sheep, the property of Thos.
Cooper, Esq. of Dulwich.—They were committed.

DUBLIN, AUGUST se.
BAlsilC-STREET POLICE OFFICE.-- -The Hangman
Travellingfor Business!—Wednesday morning, about
five o'cloCk, as Mr. Turkington, belonging to this of-
fice, was passing through Westniorrana-street, he
observed a crowd in much agitation near Meet-street.
Ile immediately proceeded to the spot, and was in-
formed that a desperate maniac had escaped from a
lunatic asylum, had procured arms, had done much
mischief to the people returning from Donnybrook
Fair, and that no person dared go near to secure him.
The Officer, however, not intimidated by this infor-
mation, rushed through the crowd, when a figure,
scarcely human in appearance, presented itself—its
face squalid, and almost hid by a black beard matted
with dirt, and the head covered by a thing resemb-
ling a hat, but full of holes, through which a quantity,
of hair obtruded itself, standing erect, like the quills
upon " the fretful porcupine." The dress of this ex-
traordinary creature consisted of a jacket ar.d troiv-
aers, that appeared to have been made for a person
of bulky size: they now covered a carcase with about
as much flesh as a Bedouin Arab could boast: under
the jacket was hid a dagger and a sharp instrument
like a knife, while from a belt over part of a waist-
coat was suspended a huge crtlass, and or. the hack
was a large bundle. The Officer seized this eu.io-
sity, and interrogated him as follows :
What are you doing?—Travelling on the King's duty.
What do you carry weapons about you for?—To assist me in
husiuess.
What haVe you gnt in your bundle?—implements of trade.
What is your trade?—Sings ifq-,,pnest!
Where do you do bußines,?—l have hAnged chiefly in Ireland
for twenty years! I've tuned in Armagh, in Philipstown, in
Wczford, in Wicklow, in W.verford, and other places, 20 years.
The Officer immediately conveyed him to Bank-
street, where Mr. Ma ac, who was on duty at that
early hour, inquired his name, when the prisoner said,
I am William Woods, well known for hanging in
Wicklow and Wexford during the last twenty years."
Mr. MANNINO, after securing his arms opened the
bundle which he had carried at his back, and which
contained, among other things the following articles:
a long black cloak, with a cap to cover the head; se-
veral pieces of cord, for pinioning the hands; various
halters, new and worn; and some new and old cat-
' o'-nine.tails. This prVessional Gentleman said, the
cutlass was for assisting him in defence, the dagger
and knife were to help him in " erecutioning those
who rebel-robbed the King," and that he was going
to Dundalk in search of business, having beard that
the last executioner was dead; and that when he was
stopped he was proceeding with a letter he had writ-
ten himself to the gaoler. To prove the truth of his
story and shew that he was no impostor, he gave the
letter to the Officer, of which the following is a copy:
" anL JOIDi WOODS. GAILZII, HtNIDALK.

" Worthy Sir:-Itae This tamely Opertunity of Calling to
See you, As I am Credibly Enfermed you Wants a Man of my
Profession of Business. I now beg leave to inform you concern-
ing the Engratitude of the County of Kildare. Since I first en-
gaged in this Innocent Entertaining Course of Life, I never ex-
perienced So much Sorrow as I have since the downfal of trade ;
But I should consider that I should nwor want in a county that
I have served those twenty years, If their was Gratitude In
them. Now since I find them ungrat:ful to Me after all my
put Labours and Exertion, I shall withdraw My Servitude
from them, And bestow it on you for the remainder of my life.
If it not your own fault I will work on reasonable Terms. As
Business is Bad throtghout the Kingdom, I will Nock them off
for lOs. per Head, and 3d. per ditto for Whipping, and I think
wee will have a Chace after the Heros of Wild Goose Lodz.
" I remain your affectionate Friend and well wisher,

At ten o'clock on Wednesday he underwent a long
and ludicrous examination before MARK MAGRATH,
Esq. who sent him to Newgate for protection. He
was recognized by the Officers as being the hangman
who disappointed the Sheriff of Wicklow, and caused
him to ride post to Dublin, some time since, to get the
assistance of the hangman of this city, Tom (akin.

To-morrow the prisoners who stand committed on
charges of felony, will be removed from the jails in
London and Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory to
