Nl.txsiON ikrusao;---Yesterday George Campdcil
was brou;ht tip, charged with assaulting a country-
Man named Stevens, and taking from his person 19s.
in silver.—lt appeared, that as the prosecutor was
passing along the street, about twelve o'clock on Su: •
day night, he was surrounded by the prisoner, and
three other men, who, with horrid imprecations,
knocked him down, and rifled his pockets of the sum
mentioned, which was all lie possessed. A w'tchman
coming up, the prisoner was secured, but his com-
panions escaped. lie was fully committed for the ca-
pital offence.
SHA?IEFUL Ocuttit4ooo,..--At respectable looking
female was put to the bar, when, from the evidence
of two or three witnesses, it appeared that on Satur-
day afternoon she went to the shop of a butcher at
Kennington, and in payment for some meat, tendered
a one pound note. The butcher took the note, and
gave the change, but having thought proper to sus-
pect the note to be forged, he ordered his shopman
to watch her. The latter wiseacre, seeing her mount
a stye-coach, took a place also,•and upon arriving in
the City, fearful of losing his prey, he gave her in
charge to an officer. The poor woman was conveyed'
to the Compter, where she remained two nights.—
No inquiry was made about the note until yesterday
morning, when it was discovered to be genuine !
The woman was in tears during the examination, and
appeared dreadfully hurt at the disgraceful situation
into which the folly u: cupidity of the butcher had
brought her.—The LORD MAYOR was exceedingly
indignant at the relation he had heard, and raid, that
unless ample remuneration was made to the wonian
for the imprisonment she had suffered, he should ad-
vise a prosecution on her part against the butcher.—
The latter seemed frightened at this, and retired
with the woman. The matter was afterwards under-
stood to be compromised.

About three weeks ago we gave au account of Mr.
Wvorr, a butcher, who resided at Putney, being at-
tacked on the Wandsworth-road by two men, as he
was goi:ig to Newgate Market, who after beating
and kicking him until he was quite insensible, robbed
him of seventeen one pound Bank of England notes.
Mr. Cttosmats, the Magistrate at Union Hall, being
informed that Mr. Wyatt was in a dangerous state,
went to his house fur the purpose of taking his depo-
sition. Since that time Mr. W. has rapidly recove-
red of the violent injury he received, which was
chiefly internal, caused by one of the men jumping on
his stomach. Yesterday mornidg he was walking
along. Long-acre, and saw a black looking fellow
drawing a grindii•g lathe, calling knives and seissars
to grind," he immediatel7 recognized him to be the
man who jumped upon Ins body and assisted in rob-
bing him, he procured a constable and had the fellow
secured. _ . .

A very painful degree of interest has been excited
by the sudden disappearance of Mr. Robert Sellers,
an eminent card-maker, at "%Ike, near Bradford,
there is every reason to fear, has either perished by
accident, or been the victim of an assassin. This Gen-
tleman attended the market at Leeds, on Tuesday,
'where he remained until ten o'clock at night, when
he mounted his horse, for the avowed purpose of re-
turning home; but since that moment he has not been
either seen or heard of. On the following evening,
about seven o'clock, the horse of this unfortunate
Gentleman was found in the river Aire, about MO
yards below Armley Mills. The animal appeared
much exhausted, and was entangled in a sand, bank.
from which, apparently, it had made many fruitless
efforts to extricate itself : with some difficulty it was
dragged a-shore. The finding of the horse, of course,
excited the most painful apprehensions for the fate of
Mr. Sellers, and the river has been carefully dragged
for a considerable distance, both above and below the
place where the horse was found, but hitherto with-
out any result which can remove in any degree the
agonizing anxiety of his friends.
Art Inquisition was taken at the Queen's Head,
near theWestininster Infirmary, on the body of Mary
'Jeffrey, aged ten years, whose death had been occa-
sioned by falling from the window of her father's
apartment near Charing Cross. It appeared that the
child's parents went out about three o'ch..cl: in the
day on some business, leaving the deceased, and an-
other child only four years old, in a room upon the
second floor, the door of which was found locked at
the time the accident happened. The Jury, hiving
deliberated, thought the parents were wrong in leav-
ing the children alone, and returned a 'verdict of—
Accidental Death. _ _ _

Si3DDEII Dzarit—Yesterday, abottt twelve o'clock
at noon, at the Queen's Head, Queen's Head-court,
Great Windmill-street, died suddenly, Mr. Walton,
broker, of Pnitenercoutt, near Clolden-square.
came Out of his house about an hour previous to this
awful visitation, apparently in perfect health, walked
over to Mr. Sainsbury's (also a broker in the same
court whom he was extremely intimate), and
conversed with Mr. S:s daughter, lately married, in
a lively jocose strain upon her change of situation,
when Mr. King, landlord of the Queen's Head, an-
other acquaintance, coming up, they likewise entered
into conversation, in the course of which Mr. King'
asked Mr. Walton to partake of a lunch at his house,
this invitation was accepted, and thazerstarted off to-
gether. Upon their atriisal, Mr. W. having pass-
ed a few mirthf.sl complinamts with the family at
the bar, entered the parlour, inquired after the health s
of the company, and then attempted to sit down ;
but a lethargic stupor seizing him, he fell forwards
and expired instantaneously, without a groan or a
struggle. Surgical aid was called in, but in vain—
the vital spark-had fled.
. . . . _

-Excetrrime.—Wednesday sennight, Fry and Nut-
Crumb underwent, at llchester, the dreadful sentence
passed upon them at the last Assizes at Wells. Their
behaviour, after their condemnation, was such as be-
Fame the awful situation in which they were placed;
Nuttycomb, in particular, was truly. enitent ; he en-
treated the wonky, Ordinary to visit him often, and
condemned himself' for haring hem:vied into the com-
mission of the crime for which he suffered, instead of
following his own honest calling as a shoemaker.—
Fry was by trade a pipe-maker, and a native of !his-
tol. At an early hour in the morning, after having
their irons knocked oil', they attended the Ordinary
in the Chapel, and received the sacrament. Shortly
after they appeared on the platform, accompanied by
the usual offik:ers; they then joined in prayer-for the
'last time with great earnestness, 'mid the fatal signal
being given, they were launched law etentit).
