BOW-STREET.

Jahn Frost, a travelling brush maker, was yesterday placed at the
bar betore Mr. liaLm, charged on suspicion ot having murdered
Daniel Homer, another travelling brush maker, whose mysterines
disappearance ever since last Friday mooting, and tither circum-
stances, have given rise In the present aceu.ation.
It appeared trout the statement of the landlord of the Hope, in
Blackmore-street, Drury-lane, that on Friday morning. 11-inter
lett his house at ten o'clik st, in company of the prisoner and another
itinerant brush maker, tor Sioutintipron. Homer reruroed in an
hour atterwat its alone, and a good deal i eeeee located. He slept on a
bench inr a:um' halt an hoar, end then stetted up, and said he'd be
off. %Viine,s's wife washed him to leave his inuney bV.liind him, as
he was unehle to take care of it, and he handed her tms. 61. He
asked her however fog a fe* shillings, end she returned him 20.6 d.
upon which he went away, and had no. since beep beard of. On
Monday night the prisoner and other brush makers met at the,
Hope, when Homer's disappearance became the subject of cenvel-
sation. The prisoner observed," The rascal is dead; I know he is;
we ought to spend the 18s. he health at the bar." In consequence
of these words, which were uttered under the influence of liquor,
the prisoner was taken up.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of Homer ; when they were
last together they had been drinking, and he himself had lost 2t. in
a house of ill-fame in which they had been together.
Mr. Hams did not deem the circumstances stared sufficient to
warrant hint in detaining the prisoner, who was discharged on
leaving his address.
Our Readers will recollect that a Gentleman stated at this Of-
fice, some days age, that he had been robbed of 3601. as he was
passing through a court on his'way to his lodgings in Arundel-
street. The robbers, he said, had knocked bins down, and wounded
him in the lower part of the body.
Smith, a principal officer, took the ease in hand, and it appears
from his inquiries that it was impossible the Gentletnan could have
been robbed in the manner described, as a party of the Thames
Police had been stationed near the spot at the time, and must have
heard it. From all he-could hewn, be was satisfied the Gentleman
had been robbed in a house of ill lame, and out in the street. On
the day after the robbery, a young man was had up at Marlbo-
rough-street for having a quantity of hank notes in his possession
without being able to account fur them. Smith advised the Gen-
tleman to go forward, thinking that perhaps these notes might be
his; but be declined doing so.
Sir Rieman 13,autu said be bad no doubt that it was in a house
of W fame the robbery bad been eunimitie.d.

of porter, three plots of port wine, and by way of a " settler," to
stay his wontach, finished the repast with a two shining bumper of
punch. His reckoning cam, to •lis. id. but the defendant de-
clared he had not a halfpenny in his possession, and pulled his
pockets inside at to verify the truth of his assertion. The land-
lord remonstrated with hint upon eating and drinking so tr.och when
he had not money to pay for U. and the defendant then rose, swore
at his host and struck him on the face. The defendant was then

spot; but the flames had gained such an Ascendancy
that nothing could be saved of the property but the
waggon horses in the stables adjoining. Soon after,
vegetal engines were on the spot, but in consequence of
the combustible nature of the materials, the building,

A married man, who 6 Is a very respectable skaldic*
in society, and resides with his family near the Crows
Inn, Blackheath, was yesterday committed by the Ms.
gistrates of Greenwich to Maidstone Goal, as a vagrant,
for having insulted several Ladies in Greenwich and
Blackheath, in a most indelicate manner.

An Inquest was held on Monday night, at the Ante-
lope, Sboreditch, on the body of a young man of re.
spectable appearance, name unknown, found drowned
in the Canal.; There was no evidence to show by what
means he came into the water, but it was conjectured
that be might have fallen in accidentally, and a verdict
to that effect was returned.

Another Inquest was holden the same night, at the
Black Horse, Poplar, on the body of John Tardwick,
15 years of age. The deceased belonged to the ship
Three Brothers, of Shields, and was on Saturday last
found by James Curd, a Blackwell Waterman, who
brought him on shore, and stated that in the earlier
part of this month, while stepping from the vessel to
the lashing rope, his foot slipped, and he fell into the
Thames. Verdict, Accidentally Drowned.
Friday night, the 17th inst. the Catholic Chapel at
Lytham was broken open, and the golden candlesticks.
chaliees, surplices, and all that was 'linable ofth: sacred
paraphernalia, were carried away. to the amount of 4001.
A well•dressed man, abcut five ten feet inches in
height. dark hair and visage, called at a house in
Princes.street. Lambeth, and desired to be shown over
it.' The request was complied with ; and on entering
one of the bed-rooms, he stole a valuable gold ring, set
with diamonds and pearls, which was left on the dress.
ing table that morning by the Lady of the house. The
ring was not missed until after his departure, and it was
subsequently traced to the shop of a tradesman in she
Westminster-road. who accounted for the manner in
which it came into his possession by stating, that he
had purchased it of a man answering the above de-
scription, and who was in the habit of having jobs com-
pleted at his shoo.
A grocer of Blackburn. distinguished for loquacity
and officious interference, is at this time in the :egoist
practice of sending out bis small portions of tea, sugar,
snap, and other articles, wrapped up in leaves of the
Bible. This system has been carried on for a long time.
It needs scarcely be said that he is a Papist. The Bibles
are received via Liverpool, in hogsheads. from Ireland.
and are sold to shopkeepers of the sameclass SSlOSSilpeper
—they are said to be collected by the Priests from their
innocent flocks, certainly, without any other valuable
consideravon, than an averted malediction. To what
side of their account do the Hibernian Bible Societies
place these transactions ? It were well for them to take
stock, and ascertain what number of distributions re-
main even a few weeks in the hands of those to whom
they have been given. Their funds may by these means
be made to flow iqto the far-famed rent.—Mocckisold
Courier.

Wednesday the cotton factory of Mr. Josses, at Fin-
glass, near Dublin, was discovered to be on fire. Ever,
aid which the inhabitants could render was given for
the preservation of the building, but without the 4;0-
en effect. In two hours this great factory, which has
been of such immense advantage to the poorer classes
near Finglass, by giving them constant employments
sunk to the ground a mass of burning ruins. The rue
is supposed to have originated in what is termed the
picking room, immediately beneath one in which was
stored a large quantity of cotton. There cannot be the
slightest doubt entertained that the fire was accidental,
as there were no complaints on the part of the weak-
men against their employer, nor any on his of combi-
nation amongst the men.
