POLIC E.

Nisxstox-Horsr.—A TmEr...--Yesterday, a young
mar, of most respectable appearance, was charged with stealing
a gold seal from the shop of Mr. Hattun, of London fridge, on
Thursday. The prisoner, a hen apprehended, was literally a
Dandy in his dress, btrrhe had since metamorphosed himself, by
changing his long and elegant cut coat, and concealing his" self-
erected patent shirt collar" beneath his accki•rchief.—The pri-
soner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
liow.sruzsr.—C7tories Tidsivell, a well-known character, was
charged with being concerned with a most daring gang of rob-
bers in violently assaulting and endeavouring to rob William
Taylor, in the employ of Mews. Stephen and Thomas Milian,
of Goldsinlth-street, Cheapside, silk-mercers, of three pieces of
silk, of the value of 4.60, about a quarter past five o'clock on
Thursday afternoon, in Ifigh-otrect, St. Giles's. He was com-
mitted. llumphreys discovered two of the otheri in the after-
noon, and apprehended them.

A poor hardened wretch, about 90 years of age, and an appren-
tice, was brought to the office on several chargrs of the moat
brutal violence against his parents, of the most shocking attempts
to seduce his younger brother to theft, and of actual theft com-
mitted
by himself on his master. Ile was committed on the
latter charge, to spare his parents the pain of prosecuting him.
Maatamsoecu-srarrr.- -Four young sprigs of fashion, be-
longittg to Noble families, were charged with riot and disorder,
in Cranbourne.alley, at two o'clock yesterday morning, and
assaulting Pitcher, a watchman. They were taken to St Anne's
watcbhouse and locked up all night, as they dared the night
constable to do so.—ln defence, they acknowledged having been
inspired by wine, but that they were first insulted in the street,
and the watchman let the off-enders escape.—The Magistrate
thought their punishment sufficient, and they were discharged.

It is a very gratifying fact, as well with regard to
the moral character of the Army and Navy as to
the Police of the Metropolis, that notwithstanding
the lamentable depravity so much to be deplored in
many classes of life, and at very early ages, there
has not been, since the discharge of so many ships
and regiments, consequent to the peace, one convic-
tion for felony of any of those numerous ranks.
At an early hour yesterday morning, some daring
villains attempted to break into and rob the dwelling-
house of Collin Roberts, Esq. situated at the top of
Pond-street, Hampstead. Supposing the whole of
the family were at their town house, in Russell-
square, they got over a high wall in the rear of the
house, crossed the garden, and got into the yard,
and, with the assistance of a ladder, they got in at a
one pair back window ; the doors on each side being
locked, they could proceed no further without open;
in g them ; the noise made awoke the maid-servants,
who throwing up the sashes, cried out; « Murder!"—
The villains supposing they were alone, commanded
them to be silent, at the peril of their lives ; fortu-
nately the gardener happened to sleep in the house,
who, on hearing the noise, made his appearance at
another window, and on learning the cause of alarm,
he called-out, katch!" several times, which caused
the watchman stationed at the end of the lane to
spring his rattle, on which the villains made a pre-
cipitate retreat without effecting their purpose.
SINGULAR Camtacrea.—Yesterday morning, was
found dead, in ati Obscure lodging, in George-yard,
Whitechapel, Jane Jones, more commonly known
by the name of Crasy Jaw; well known for years
about Rag-fair, Rosemary-lane, Thames-street, and
Whitechapel. She used to be decorated wish arti-
fici4l Sowers round her head, with a large leek stuck
in it, and half naked, without shoes or stockings.
She had formerly been employed in supplying die
