Wu a very respeciibie miter piaisterer ; and that Li
himself was apprenticed to Mr. G. Wyatt, the sur-
veyor ; but they could not tell how he had got his
living for the last two or three years.—The prosecu-
tor said that he had made enquiry, and bad been
formed that the prisoner was, till lately, a corporal in
the St. James's Volunteer Infantry, and he received
an excellent character of him, from several repectable
members of that corps.—Guilty.
James Thema: was indicted for a burglary in tie
dwelling-house of Michael Favell; in Cranholirn-
passage, Leicester-square, on the night of the :lint*
of January last, and stealing thereout 30 p airs ti:
women's stays, and several other articles. It appear-
ed from the evidence, that the prisoner had kept a
pastry-cook's shop, in Prince's-street, Soho : and
shortly after this robbery, Gillman, a Police.officer, A
of Queen-square, went into the prisoner's shop, and
observed a large bundle, containing several pairs of
stays, and a quantity of twilled nankin. He asked .
the prisoner how he came by them ; and was answer-
ed, that they belonged to a poor distressed friend of
his, in an insolvent state, and they were left with him
for protection. Gillman said this answer was not
satisfactory to him ; chat, therefore, he must take the
goods to the Magistrates office ; and he gave the pri-
soner time until the Saturday following, to bring for-
ward the person who had Jett the goods with him, or
otherwise account satisfactorily how he came by
them. But when Gillman tulle '., on the Saturday
following, he found the prisoner had absconded, and
could not be heard of : and notwithstanding the moss
diligent search, he never could find him until the 21s;
of August following, when he met him at a public-
house in Westminster, and took him into custody.—
A shop-woman of Mr. Favell's proved the loss of the
goods, but not of the burglary in the night-time ; and
the Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing to the
value of 3ris.

W. Howard was indicted for breaking and entering
the house of J. Capel, and stealing therein a quantity
of wearing apparel. Th• prosecutor, who keeps a
public-house on Saffron-hill, deposed that about six
o'clock in the morning of the 9th of August, he was
awoke by one of his lodgers, who was going out to
his work, and was told by him that his house had
been broken open. He got up, and found all his
doors open, and the property mentioned in the indict-
ment was missed. Two hats were also found in the
back parlour, one of which he knew belonged to the'
prisoner, and he believed the other belonged to one
Hunt, his brother-in-law, with whom the prisoner had
been playing at dominoes the evening before, in that
parlour.---Hancock, the officer, searched the pri.
soner's lodgings, at seven on the same morning, and
found part of the property in a box under his bed.
There being, however, no proof of the house being
broken into, or out of, in the dark ; nor that the pro-
perty stolen was worth 40s. the Jury, under the direc.-
tion of the Learned Judge, found the prisoner Guilty
of stealing to the value of 395. only.

The following were convicted of felony*:— Agnes
Coombes, for stealing several remnants of cloth, the
property of J. Bagne ; T. Lee, for stealing a great
coat and a hat, the proper ty of J. Beacher, Esq. J.

perty of G. Mead : and four were acquitted, viz. J.

Brown.

BAXINCL—A hard battle was fought on Tuesday
last on Gillmore Heath, near Bicester, between
George Hollis, a navigator, of 12st. 61b. and Wilmot,
a coachman, from Oxfordshire, of equal weight.—
They were backed for twenty guineas a side and a
purse. Wilmot was hit right and left on the head in
the first round, and his chart flew from every channel;
but instead of going down, he recovered and rallied,
and the men stood and hit three minutes, when Hollis
went down. The. second and third rounds were as
obstinately contested, and both were hit down in the
third round. The fight was maintained with the
most manly resolution for forty-eight minutes, when
Hollis was hit lifeless for two minutes. Wilms t won
the battle by hits at the head with his left hand.

A well.contested foot race Lock place oa Tuesd iy
last, on the Clapham Road, between two Office, s ot
the Guards, for .50 guineas. The distance WAS a mile,
and so well were they matched, that they ran abreast
nearly the whole of the way, and the winner not
beat his opponent by more than two yards. They
ran the mile in five minutes and a halt, but were both
too much exhausted to move without assistance.—
Bets to a considerable amount were depending.
The most flattering prospects of an abundant bar.
vest appear in all parts of the country. In the White-
haven district, the corn is nearly all cut down, and
the crops of all kinds of grain are most abundant.
In the Exeter district the crops are equally pro-
mising in appearance, with the exception of the west-
ern part, where the rust has partially crept in ; but a
large importation of black cattle trolls Ireland will,
as it is expected, counteract the deficiency on this
account.

MARK-LANE.—The market this day has several fur-
ther arrivals of Wheat, and the trade again heavy in
sales at somewhat lower price—Barley in good supply
and rather cheaper—Malt and White Peas nearly at
the last quotation ; very few Grey, and much higher—.
Beans of each sort rather dearer—There are but feu`
arrivals of Oats, not many on hand, and this article
fully at last prices—Sales of Flour at the late quo.
