" Indeed ! does she, Sir T—Well, that's more than / can !'

The dispatches from Sir FREDZRICK ADAM have
conveyed to Government the information of An Armis-
tice and Amnesty having been proposed by the Potte
to the Greeks.

Advices from Alexandria (Egypt) were received yes-
terday to the 21th of February. The English residents
were rather alarmed at the determined manner in which
the PACHA sent reinforcements to the Morea (as the re-
port of the late expeditition being boOnd for Candia Was
generally discredited), and also the frequent intercourse
by expresses with Constantinople; they began to fear
the PACHA would actively support the SULTAN in C,{lle•
of hostilities. About twenty sail of merchant vessels.
had been sent off with provisions for Malta. The cot-
ton crop is reported to have, in a great measure, failed.
Yesterday a young man, having the appearance of a '
ladies' shoemaker, descended the area of the Marquis of
St.too. in Mansfield-street, Portland-place, under pre-
tence of selling some sh, es to the female servants, and
stole two' valuable salt cellars and spoons. •
It appears from the concurrent testimony of all pre-
ceding navigators, as well as the late Russian navigator
Kotzebue, who explored the Pacific Ocean recently in
rations directions, that a constant formation of new
islands is going on in the great Pacific Ocean, through
the combined efforts of volcanic agency, and the pro-
duction of cowl reefs of rocks. Flom the Phitlippine '
Islands to tl..e Moluccas, the formation is altoust entirely
volcanic, wh.le the small islaads to the Southward of •
New Guinea are • almost entirely prcduced by the
astonishing operations (f that minute animal, the coral
insect. From*the conjunction of these causes it is fair
to expect that a few centuries will add to the work of ,
creation by the formation of an extensive continent
the south-east portion of the globe.

BOXING.

DROWN AND SAMPSON-FOR FIVE HUNDRED
, POUNDS,
ON TUESDAY-I% MILES PROM LONDON.

On the crown of a sharp hill in the county of Staf-
ford—called Bishop's Woad,because there is scarcely a
dozen trees within a mile of it—forty thousand people
assembled on Tuesday, at one, to witness the celebra-
tion of this fight. The spot was happily chosen to coo/
the warmth of the men and the impatience of the ring,
being open to all the winds of Heaven. The Fancy are
not to be scolded for selecting so inclement a position;
an old sour denizen of Wolverhampton bears all the
blame. Through the malice of this person. an offer of
2001. to the charities of the town, and 2001. to each of
the combatants, was rejected—and, through him, a
handsome sum in cash was lost to the good people of
the town itself. Were it only to pay for cleaning the
channels of the place, and repairing the pavement, the
money might have been of use; indeed a portion of it
would have been well bestowed in dry-rubbing our
Veduice himself, and a few of his supporters.
The interest created by the match in the up-country
was greater than we cockneys had any idea of exhibiting.
Brommageuf was pitted against Bridge North, and the
county of Warwick against Salop. All the cash that
could be found was hazarded on the event ; and it is to
be feared, comparing the locale of Bridg against Brum,
that, by the result, the former is completely ruined—
or, in the words of the sing, " cleaned out." His fellow
citizens made certain of Brown's winning, and their
offers of hundreds to fifties were far more numerous
than affirmative responses could be mustered. Since
Brown's battle with Shelton he h.rs been looked upon
'as the real Champion of England. He is, in size
and appearance, one of the weightiest and finest
men iu the kingdom. He was deemed scientific under
the tuition of Spring ; he was thought to be game from
the specimens he exhibited; and, looking upon him'
combining height, weight, activity, and courage, his
friends calculated that no man in the ring could have a
chance with him. Not so argued Phil Sampson; he
had an old quarrel with the Champion, callenoed him
before the battle with Shelton, and, undeterred by the
result of that event and his own ill fortune with O'Neil
the mean time, never ceased pursuing him for a moment,
until he got the match made, and secured friends to sup.
port him. There is something most John-Bull-like and
dogged in Sampson's conduct. Though every body told
lie must be beaten, he persevered in fighting ; and
he stripped himself of every shilling to complete his
stake. He always contended that Brown was overvalued,
and confidence of his own success never abandoned him
to the last. Even on the morning, when he has been
always supposed to show a little nervousness, he was as
collected as possible; his hands were cool, his manner
temperate and decided. He deserves the same credit
for his spirited conduct previous to the battle, as he does
for his manliness in the ring.
The opinion of all the best judges in London was in
favour of Brown. The only public specimen he made
was so decidedly with him, that they calculated the
man who could beat Shelton in a few minutes, and who
had all the other points of the best men in his posses-
session, was more thin a match for any known compe-
titor. His right hand was inevitable destruction ; and
as to Sampson, compared with him, he was looked
upon as a rash impetuous person, who pursued defeat
from passion and vindictive feelings. The result has
shown hew far short of the truth the best calculators
may be, and that no event is safe till it is over.
By the articles, the fight was to take pface between
Bridgenorth and Birmingham. and the communications
from the men stated that either Wolverhampton or Stour-
bridge would be the ground. There, being in the
centre of the mining and pottery countries, and the
time being holiday, the crowds which poured from
beneath the ground, and from above, was almost
beyond belief. On the evening before, and the day
of fighting, the whole country vas in motion—
eiery vehicle that could be got was hastening for-
ward, and masses of men, and women too, filled every
road. The streets of Wolverhampton were packed
by a dense mob, through whom with difficulty a pas-
sage could be effected. Never was there such a gather-
ing of uncombed artificers. The riot and confusion at
the inns was without parallel. Happy was the man
who got a morsel to eat; and thrice happy was he who
was favoured with a truckle bed in the attic of the vil-
lage barber. To add to the annoyances, the race ground
of Wolverhampton, where a stand holding twelve hua-
dred persons was erected, which was at first decided
on, was lox through the interference of a foolish
old man ; and the crowd, the greater part without
conves lances, were compelled, at an hour's notice,
to move forward twelve miles to the top of a hill,
which, as we before described, was as bleak and com•
forties, a station as could well be devised. Here the
best arrangements were made by skilful management,
and the immense multitude were stowed away in wag.
gons in a circle of great extent. A pat t of the space
within was allotted to those who had no money for the
waggons; and a second rope and stakes confined those
sons of nature. The ring itself was perched in the centre
of the mount—the stakes, of country manufacture, being
limbs of trees, against which, in falling, a man might
shatter his head, but which ultimately proved no de-
fince against the assault of the mob. The bustle and
agitation of the country folk was intense; cheers and
shrieks—for cheers were momentarily sent up by the
partisans of either combatant. Colours and handker--
chiefs were waved in accordance with Brown and Samp-
son for ever, and it was only the desire to see the battle'
decided by the principals which restrained the friends
from coming to a general engagement.
At one o'clock, however, the tumult ceased, when
Brown, attended by Spring and Richmond, and Samp-
son, by Holt and Curtis, entered the ring. A shout to
crack the sky was sent up for each, and the bumpkins
steOdonouth and eye open, intent on further procee4ings.
The 'couttast of size between the men was decided, and
it was at once deemed impossible that Sampson could
baie a chance. • Blown looked fifteen stone, large
and clean? made heavy above and light below, and is
rf years of age; while Sampson, though a big one
for his weight, of twelve stone and ten pounds,
appeatei to disadvantage, from the spareness of, his
loins and legs. His age is 27. Still there was a manly
confidence about him which gave courage to his. ft ita ds,
and several; bets of twenty to ten were accepted before
the set-to commenced. When Sampson came into the
ring isis turned his, back to Brown, but Brown followed
him, and offered his hand, which the other took without
remark.. They then prepared their toilets, and all being
ready; the word given—the seconds crossed hands and
the men begun
THE FIGIIT.
Round 1. The amazing superiority of size on the part of Drown
was evident to all, bis position also appeared to be good ; he held
his handtwell up, and was ready at points, and well made op to
return with his all-accomplished right. Sampson stood to-him too
to toe, uollinehingly—his hands on his old system, lower this mber
fighters venture upon, and his body too far off the centre on prin.
rip!e to give him weight—but he knows well what he is adobe, Mid
there 111:00swee active getter away, or snore potent twabintled
hitter. A minute scarcely pissed In sparring, when Ammo gals

Indy bit out, and planted his left and right on Brown's head.--
Blown as quickly returned with his right, and touched his adver.
sary's mouth. (Cheers for both, the snore particularly for Samp-
son, from the spirit he evinced in commencing). Sampson drew
first blood, and again tried left and right. Brown was with him,
plunging with his sight hand, but Sampson got away to ;he stakes-
Then Brown laid hold of I.im and held him up by main strength,.
while he punished his head, punching him, while Sampson, unable
to return, only struggled to get down. Brown's hand still followed
him to the ground, and struck kim heavily on the back of the head
as be touched the ground. Many persons looked upon this blow as
foul, but Sampson's umpire did not claim it. Had he done so, the
battle was dtcided, as there was no question of the fact, though
13113W1i'S intention was no doubt harmless. Sampson, on his second's
knees, appeared t feel the effect of this blow, but when he was
brought to the scratch, he shook the uneasiness off, and stood bravely
to his man.

2. Brown was not sent in as he should have been, and Sampson
gained time to recover himself by sparring. Brown at last made
play, but he missed, by round hitting, his tremendous right hand.
The cautions of Holt to Sampson, to avoid the tight hand, were
unceasing. Get away from that, he every instant cried, and you
have nothing else to fight against. Sampson did as he was bid, and
he measured with his eye, coolly and precisely, the swing of
Brown's arm, and almost in every case got out of distance in time
to avoid it. Ile then planted his foot up to its place, and making
his hits, again retreated, when the pump handle was at work. By
this system Brown was entirely thrown out. Ile had only one hit
in hint—at the burr of the ear, with the right. Cheat him of that,
be is a child in the ring. Let him once plant it, and no bullock can
come to time. Sampson made play lightly, when Brown, enraged
at missing his blows, ran in, caught him up in his arms, flung hint
like a sack, and fell heavily upon him.
3. Though Sampson's tactics were admired, the odds remained
steady on Brown; and two to one was offered freely round the
ring, and not very freely taken. After a moment's sparring, Samp-
son tried to trip up the advanced font of Brown, and Brown hitting
out at the moment, he overreached himself, and fell on his knees.
Spring appealed to the umpires, hut the case did not appear suffi-
ciently strong to warrant their interference. This short round was
in favour of Sampson, as the half minute time between recovered
him fully from the effects of the blows in the first.
4. Sampson made play left and right, and made a sensible impres-
sion on Brown's left eye. Brown failed in planting his return
effectively, though occasionally the swing of his arm bru bed
Sampson's head. Brown, rather angry, followed his man about,
ibut Sampson broke away from punishment, never failing to pop in
his compliments when the opening came. Brown at last caught
him, and tinted with bins, but Sampson gallantly fought him up,
land kept the blood Bowing. Brown, not knowing what to be at,
rushed him down and fell upon him.
5. Still opinion was with Brown, and the odds maintained their
course, but both were shaken in this round on seeing Sampson rush
in from the scratch, and knock the giant off his legs with a clean
right-banded hit.—The cheering for Sampson was immense, and
the confidence of the Brownites began to ooze.
6. Brown rose up very readily, and showed no lack of spirit on
coming to his ground, but it was evident that he had suffered—
his right ear was cut. the blood flowed from his nose, and there
was a 'nuked changed in the character of his head. Sampson
puffed a bit, but he and his friends were too well pleased to mind
it. If Nature will but support him, tbey cried, he has an equal
chance. Betting was even, or perhaps Sampson for choice.—
This was a capital round; Brown, on his mettle, fought hard to.
win, and Sampson, in spite of all his science, was forced to rally
with him. Here Browts must get the best of it, and Phil's friends
began to grow blue again. They fought to a close, and then un-
loosed, Sampson with spirit renewing the rally, and encountering
most loving thwacks from the swing of Brown's hand—fortunately
he never met the knuckles with his head, had he done so he was done,
Ibut luck was with him. Brown in a rage rushed Sampson to the stake,
then Sampson fell to the ground, with his back against the stake,
and Brown in coming after him, fell on his knees, and struck his
forehead, they say, severely against it. Opinion was so divided
about the effects of this round, that Brown's friends laid two to one,
which Sampson's backers took as a hedge, imagining that they were
offered on him. It was equal main anti chance. One good blow
on the part of Brown was supposed capable of deciding the battle,
and the warmest of Sampson's party scarcely gave him credit for
lasting long enough to beat so powerful a frame as his opponent
possessed.
7. Brown ran in, sweeping Sampson with him in his arms to the
ropes. There he attempted to throw him out of the ring, but Phil
got entangled in the ropes, and was held fast. Brown then secured
him as in a vice, and pummelled his side with one hand, while he
strained him with the other. Sampson only worked to get down,
and Holt and Curtis pulled the rope to ease hint. It was a long
time before he could get free, and when he did, Holt broke his
fall by lying on the ground to receive bins. The activity of Holt
as a second was never more beneficially exerted. Sampson was in
so helpless a position in this round, that one wonders that Brown
did not finish him on the spot; but the big one appeared to be de-
ficient in knowledge of the ring, and he suffered the only oppor-
tunity he had of winning to escape him.
8. Sampson, not a little shook by the last round, refused to stand
a rally, and broke away, jobbing his man with the left as he ad-
vanced. He showed hinnelt a finished fighter, and escaped a
great deal of well meant punishment. Brown, however, succeeded
in planting his right hand more than once; but the force seemed
to have left it, and Sampson never gave way from its effects.
Sampson was, in the end, rushed down.
9. Sampson fought away left and right, but Brown rather took
the lead, and bored hint down again.
10. Brown came up, with his left eye closed, and his face ex-
hibited sundry marks of Sampson's handy work. Sampson, when
washed, really showed a clean front, and nothing bat a red neck,
from the swing of Brown's arns, seemed to have affected him.—
Brown hit again short and round, closed, and threw his man.
11. Sampson planted his blows left and right, drawing the blood
in quantities from Brown's nose, and evidently reducing him. Brown
was unable to stop hint, or return any degree of punishment ; and he
was bored down, to the great consternation of his countrymen and
the delight of Sampson's, who, in good truth, now took hope that
Birmingham would be victorious.
During this round the impatience of the outer ring could not
be restrained, and, after the example set them by a few, the
whole multitude of at least ten thousand persons rushed to the
ring, and, in despite of all the sticks and whips of the fighting
men, broke down the ropes, and enclo•ed the combatants in a
space of half a dozen feet square, and which only could be main-
tained for them by the unceasing struggles of their seconds, the
timekeeper, and referee, and a few staunch friends. The scene
of confusion was only equalled by that which occurred at Wor-
cester when Spring fought Langan. It was rather worse here,
inasmuch as the temper of the coalpit men was not so placable
as your mere rustic ; and further, as the sante swarthy race were
mostly all losers by the event. The pressure in the ring was dread-
ful, and there was no escaping from it, for it was in vain to think
of making way through a phalanx of thirty or forty feet deep, all
turned to the point from whence you were attempting to escape.
The scene became still worse as the fight proceeded, for the Md.
pit men, armed with short sticks, used them against the mess who
were trying to beat out a little space; and ft was only by the cross-
ing of their weapons, -imilar to that in an Irish row, that the beads
of honest men escaped destruction. It was in vain attempting to
keep an account of the battle, and the remaining rounds are given
from observation and recollection.

12. The battle had now lasted about twenty.fivit minutes, and
the odds were fast changing in Sampson's favour. They would
have more rapidly done so. but from the doubt of bis stamina
carrying him through the beat and pressure; and i: was calculated
that be could not get away front Brown; and that if Brown had a
good bit in him he must now plant it. Sampson, all alive, made
play and told right and left, defacing the Big Boy's head most cruel.
ly. Brown hit short, but succeeded in getting the best of the fall.
IZ. Brown acted with resolution, and some manly fighting took
' place to equal advantage. Sampson had the call, as they say in the
I Stock Exchange, by getting his man under.
14. Quick and merry fighting on both sides. Sampson planted
Ibis right hand, and broke out of the reach of his adversary's.—
Brown down.

15. Brown bored in and rushed Sampson down.
16. Sampson let Sy left and right, and made all tell on Brown's
bead. Brown Lndeavoured to get his head clear by ducking It from
the right hand, but Sampson watched his opportunity, and caught
him an up hit with the left, which set his jaws a chattering and
spoiled his practice.

- 17. Brown getting very weak, and his seconds obliged to resort
to ail their precautions to bring bins round. Spring, in carryiug
him to the scratch, stood between him and Sampson, who was al-
ready there, when Sampson, furious at the interruption, strtith
Spring out of his way, and knocked Brown over.
18. It was thought that Brown could not come again, and ten to
one was now offered against hint, but five to one was actually laid.
The ring, bad as it was before, now became a scene of inex-
plicable confusion. How the fight,waa prolonged k is impossible
to say, but the men were. shown fair play, and allowed to finish in
a space not a yard square. It Was prolonged for twenty-four rounds
more, all being In favour of Simpson, till in the forty-second, Brown
went dowajoad Sampson was proclaimed the conqnerors after forty-
nine minutes quick 41d severe

The victor.was burne away on the arms of his party
with colours flying and band of music playing, while
the beaten man, atter being completely attended to by
his seconds, was led• out of the ring supported by
Spring and a countryman, his face a dreadful picture,
and has shoulder said to be out• He was able, however,

to walk with support, and there is no doubt the kini
offices of Spring and Richmond will soon rector. him.
REMARKS.-This battle affords another.pro..f that the
best judges may be out, artd that a pound of science is
worth a stone of weight. Nature can teal eel put to-
gether a better model than Brown, and, if his blows
reached, no man could stand against him. He was bekr
by nice measurement of time and distance. Did his
tight hand go out straight instead of with a half-circle,
Sampson could not have got away; but the latter's
coolness enabled him to escape the only desperate point
of his opponent, and, once able to reduce him by draw-
ing blood from his head, hemade his own heavy punish-
ment tell to a dead certainty. Sampson deserves great
credit. He did not win by a chance blow, or by one
violent effort. He fought all the way an up-hill battle,
and only secured it by patience and spirit combined,
and the application of repeated and well-timed blows.
Large sums of money have changed hands on the event,
and the Londoners are generally heavy losers.
After the fight both men were removed to a small inn
contiguous to the ground. Brown was put to bed and
locked after secundum argent, but Sampson, having
washed his face and hands, put on his clothes, and
joined his friends as gay as any of them, and with as
little the appearance of having been fighting. He had
not even a scratch on his face, and be seemed not to
have suffered in the slightest degree. He was taken by
his backers in a coach, drawn by six horses, to Birming-
ham, where all the honours of war were paid to him
last night. The Northern road to London was covered
with crowds, all eager to learn the result; the defeat of
Brown was every where received with surprise and
mortification.

A second fight between young Gas and Piefinch was
to have taken place, but the affair did not come on.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M ANSIOW-HOUS&

Three young men, named Barrett, Robinson, and Brows, were
charged with having broken into the house of Mr. NVaylett, of Fish-
street HilL Mr. Waytett sleeps in Croaked-lane, but be keeps a
boy on the premises In Fish-street for security. The boy had been
in bed for a considerable time in the shop, when he heard a noise in
the parlour; and upon raking his head saw the men moving about.
He instantly raised an alarm, the watchmen entered, and the pri-
soners were found in the privy of the adjoining house, which was
empty. In the privy were found a dark lanthorn, a bunch of ske-
leton keys, and a centre-bit. The writing desk in Air. Waylert's
parlour had been turned upside down, evidently for the greater
convenience of those who were about to break it open. The pri-
soners said they went into the empty house to take some rest, ea
they were greatly fatigued.—They were remanded.
GUILDHALL,.

Yesterday a journeyman butcher was brought before C. S.
Husivea, Bart. charged with embezzling £2O, the property of his
employer, Mrs. Mitchell, a butcher, in St. George's-crescent, Lon-
doo-road,in whose service he had been only a fortnight.
Mrs. Mitchell stated, that on the 28th of March she directed the
prisoner to wait upon Mr. Mitchell, the proprietor of a Tottenham
stage, when be arrived at two o'clock at the Swan, Snowhill, tell-
ing him that if he was paid £2O in Bankers' checks, as she ex-
pected, he was to change them on his return home. Mr. Mitchell
gave the prisoner a check on Fry's for £5, another on Curtis's for
£l4, and a sovereign ; and allowed him to ride on the top of the
stage as far as the Poultry, where he was set down soon after two
o'clock. He did not reach the London-road till nearly four o'clock,
and then represented that he had been detained an hour at Messrs.
Curtis's; that he had wrapped the sovereigns in a piece of brown
psi.er, and that he had lost the money in his way home ;---that he
supposed the parcel jumped out of his pocket, when he scrambled
up behind a coach in the Borough, and that he had not seen any
acquaintances since he had been out. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her
doubt of the truth of this story, and remarked that the breast-
pocket, where be said he had placed the parcel, was so deep, and
the parcel must have been se heavy, that it was impossible it could
work out in the way he represented. The prisoner was perfectly
at ease upon the subject, and said " Take me before a Blaginrate ;
I must be acquitted; you will discharge me front my place, and
that Is the most that can be done with me." Mrs. Mitchell gat e
him into the custody of Read, a Union Hall officer, who questioned
him, and detected him in several falsehoods ; but could not trace
him in the possession of the money after he quitted Lombard-street.
Mr. Blasland, a clerk at Messrs. Curtis's. remembered -changing
the check, and giving the person a little blue paper bag, and also a
piece of brown paper to wrap the sovereigns in. The man Was not
detained at the counter hve minutes.

Mr. 11. Mitchell proved the payment of the checks to the prisoner.
Mr. Homers, juu. fur the prosecution, submitted that there was
a sufficient ease fur inquiry in another place, while the prisoner's
Solicitor insisted there was nothing to raise a presumption of a
conversion by the prisoner, or that his tale of losing the money
was untrue.

Sir C. S. HEINTZ% said that the presumption of the prisoner's
guilt was sufficiently raised by his telling a gross falsehood as to
being detained an hour at Curtis's banking-house, and therefore
committed him for trial
BO W. STRE ET.

Yesterday morning Sir litmus)) Bruin- took occasion to refer to
an assertion made by Mr. Corder, the successful candidate for the
office of vestry clerk to the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, that
" be (Sir Richard. Birnie) had been sent for by Mr. Peel, and se-
verely rebuked for having interfered in the proceedings of that
parish." This assertion Sir Richard Birnie authorized us to state
is utterly unfounded. No communication had passed between Mr.
Peel and himself upon the subject; nor had he been to Whitehall
to account to the ltight Honourable Secretary for the put which
he had taken, as stated by Mr. Corder._

Charfes Smith and Jeremiah La :Ward were finally examined,—
che former upon a charge of having stolen a horse and gig, the pro-
perty of Mr. Jennings, of Staines, in Middlesex; and the latter with
having received the horse, knowing it to have been stolen.
'Elie case, as developed by the evidence, presents some curious
features. 'flie facts are briefly these :—The principal witness is a
man named Halls, an accomplice. who has turned approver. Ac-
cording to his testimony, be was privy to a plan formed by the
prisoner Smith and a man named Odes, who has not as yet been
taken, to steal the bell from the parish church at Staines, and also
to rob Mr. Jennings of his horse and gig. Smith and Odes, accord-
ing to the witness's statement, made him acquainted with their in-
tention for some weeks previous to the commission of the act. He
was asked to join in the undertaking, but declined to do so, and
gave information of what he had heard to Colonel Carmichael, a
magistrate residing in the neighbourhood. The witness proceeded
to state, that as he was passing the premises of Mr. Jennings on
the night of the robbery, he saw Smith and Odes in the act of
driving the horse and chaise from the stable-yard of the prosecutor.
Smith said to him, "Is that you, bill? You must not say you
have seen Odes and me ;" and then, he said, they drove away in the
direction of London. Circumstantial, however, as the story of the
approver appeared to be, the Magistrate ( Mr. Halls) seemed to be
little inclined to give it credit, as it appeared that the approver had
only come forward to disclose. where the gig and horse were after
a reward had been offered for their recovery, when he first stated
that the property would be found at the residence of the prisoner
Latchford, at Woodford, In Essex, when an officer was dispatched,
who discovered the horse, but could not find any clue to the gig.
Mr. HALLS, upon hearing this fact, said be could very well com-
prehend the state of the east ; and he thought it not at all unlikely
that the whole matter had been planned by the approver, to suit
his private purposes. He should commit the prisoners although,
in his opinion, no Jury would find them guilty upon such evidence
as that of the approver Hall.
The prisoners were committed accordingly.
HATTON—GARDEN.
James Ryland was charged with stealing 55 files, the property of
his employers, Messrs. Jointsois &ad Co. brass fitters, of New-street-
square, Fetter.lane. The property was fbund upon the prisoner by
a Bow-street patrol, ha Holborn, the preceding evening. Not being
able to give &satisfactory account of how he came by them, he was
taken to the watchhonse, and ultimately they were discovered to be
the property of the above firm.--The prisoner was committed.
MARLBOROUG H-STREET.
trillion Brews, Elisabeth Brawn, and Asia Charles Minaret were
charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. John Yenwick, of
Regent-street, of goods to a considerable amount. The prosecutor
is a silk mercer, and the male prisoners have been hi his employ for
some time as shapeup.- On searching Brown's apartments a vast
out:eller of duplicates were-found. It was also discovered that
Elisabeth Brown, who is the mother of one of the prisoners, had
pledged several pieces of alkyl various colours, within the last few
:maths, eta pawnbroker's in Paddington.street, "and it appeared
that other property belonging to Mr. Fetiwick had been pawned by
the female prisoner. On the female prisoner being interrogated by
