Among the affidavits sworn before Mr. Alderman Atist.xe yes-
terday, there was one as to the quantity of goods delivered to. and
payment made by a certain baker. There was a statement of the
account annexed, in which occurred two items of deliveries, along
with sacks of flour, of five sacks of been each time. Some other
stuff was also mentioned by an unintelligible name.
A stout young fellow, named Isaac Gummi was charged with
defrauding the Colombian Mining Association of the sum of ia.—
Mr. Toy, of LeadenhaU-street, the Secretary to the Association,
proved. that in May last the prisoner engaged to go out to Colom-
bia as a mill-stone cutter; he obtained 151. to fit himself out for
embarkation on board a vessel called she Prudence, but he absconded
with the money and violated his contract. He was convicted under
the 14th Gee. IV. cap. 34, and sentenced to two mOilths hard
labour, for not fulfilling the contract which he had entered into.
BOW-STREET.
• Terry Berths, a young fellow of good address, was, before Mr.
Has, fully shown to be a pickpocket of the most skilful kind,
having on the preceding men, with the utmost delicacy, smutted
from the " dress" coat of Mr. Levy, a Gentleman from Leeds,
who at present resides at the Tavistock Hotel, as he was proceed
ing to attend a supper party;a valuable pocket handkerchief. Not-
withstanding he acknowledged that appearances were against him,
yet he protested his innocence. His respectability was undoubted,
And he was, he declared, incapable of filching.
Mr. Haus—Well, perhaps you will explain how you get your
living ?—Jerry—l held a most respectable situation about six
months ago.
Mr. Hat-Ls—Well, but what have you been doing since?—
Jerry—Why, in fact, Sir; I have been strolling the provinces as
'a stage•player, which, I suspect, is a bad trade.
Mr. Hau.s—And so you came up to London to enact the part
of Filch —Jerry (appearing quite bashful)-04, dear, no! I came
' up to be engaged at the Brunswick Theatre.
Mr. Haws—Ali, Jerry! your forte lies in another way—(A
, laugh).—Jetry said he was thankful that suck was the fact.—He
was, however, fully committed.
111 A RLBOROUG 11-STREET.
' Jan Rockets, late a footman in the service of Wen. Perry, Rsq.
who has untirrgone several examinations at this office upon a charge
of robbing his master's house of plate to the value of £CISO, was
yesterday fully committed for trial.
It appeared that the prisoner, who had only been a short time in
Mr. Perry's service, and had received notice to quit, brought a let-
, ter upstairs to Mr. Perry on the evening of the robbery, saying that
he lelt a man waiting at the street-door for an answer. Mr. Perry
suspecting this old pretext for robbery, instantly ran down stain,
and found the street door open, but no persou waiting, and the
r prisoner immediately cried out that all the plate was gone from the
• kitchen. The whole of this proceeding about the letter did not
I occupy two minutes, and it appeared quite impossible that a strati-
f ger could make his way to the kitchen, select the plate from plated
articles, pack it up, and carry it away, in less than an hour. The
' prisoner, however, denied all knowledge of the robbery, and no trace
▪ whatever has been found of the property.

Saturday night, about ten o'clock, a neighbour ob-
served a man getting over the yard wall of a house not
far from Mount Pleasant, Liverpool. An attempt had
been made to break into the house in the course of the
preceding night, and the.person who observed the man
on the wall, thinking he might be a burglar, in-
formed the master of what she had seen. He, under
the beliei that the man was a thief, armed himself with
a huge horsewhip, with which he sallied forth into the
yard. .The man, thus surprised, attempted to secrete
himself in the privy; but his hiding•place was disco
vered ;he was dragged forth to the light, not of the
sun, but of the moon, and received a sound horse.
whipping for his temerity. The watchman was then
called, and the poor ((How, who it afterwards appeared
had scaled the wall, like Romeo in seatch of his Juliet,
to have some loving discourse with his sweetheart, was
sent to Bridewell, there to ruminate on his rashness in
leaping a stone wall io pursuit of his Dcsdcmone.

Yesterday the N.tvy Boar d contracted for three large
ships, to take cut convicts for Van Diemen's Land and
New South Wales. At this time there are not less than'
six ships taking out goods for merchants and settlers
from this country, of a tno,t respectable descrivtion.
Josaru Lem THE Jew.—This unfortunate man, as
has been stated in all the papa rs, met his death, while
reading the play• bill at the Brunswick Theatre, in Well
street ; but it has not been statei how he was discovered.
Young Mr. Chapman, of the Star public-house, being
desirous of clearing away the rubbish that had broken
through and penetrated the iron grating which coveted
the vault underneath the puhlic-house, began to rembie
the obstructions, and the first thing that he laid his
hand on, after taking away a few upper bticks and'
mortar, was a man's legs, shich greatly alarmed him:
This proved to be poor Mr. Levy, who by the fall of
the building, was actually breed (head foremost) like
a peg through the iron grating into the cellar.
Lova AND' DUTY.—A soldier belonging to the. Zsth
Hussars, had " pledged his troth" to a young wench
in this city (Canterbury), but could not obtain consent
of the Commanding Officer to usher her to the precincts
of the barracks. Our readers are probably not aware,
that great ceremony is necessary to obtain thi, privilege.
—The poor fellow, foiled in his hopes, set his a its to
work, and with the help of his comrade, resolved to put
a plan in execution to effect his purpose. The banns of
marriage were thenceforth proclaimed in the usual
form; and it was agreed that the expectant bride
should be in attendance at St. Margaret's Church
on the morning of the departure of the regiment,
where the ill•fated swain was to meet her, and where,
faithful to her pledge, she, with Minister and clerk and
friends, waited his swivel. In a short time the noise
of horsemen aroused all her anxious wishes—(the
man of war was to alight, and after the matrimonial
knot was tied, join his troop,) but instead of his com-
rade paying that attention to him his case required,
and which he had promised to do, he was too much
inebriated to hold the horse's rein; the Officer of the
troop perceiving the line interrupted, and the man dis-
mounted, rode up and ordered him to occupy his seat
at. the saddle, closely watching him until he had done
so. The man thus was under the necessity of " moving
on," and the poor girl left to bewail the loss of a bus-
band.—Kentish Chronicle.
