had entered the Jary-boi, discovered that he bad
been robbed of his pocketbook, cOntsiniug Bank of
England notes and bills of exchange to a cooed,.
r.ble amount. and also a silver snuff -bog, which had
„heat effected by cutting his pocket with a sharp in.
strutitetit. He in cunpequence complained to the
'rattlers of the Court, and it was ascettained that se.
ll'veral other Geatkmen had been robbed. Inform*-
, doh was sent with all speed to the above office, when
Mr. BillNlto the sitting Magistrate, dispatched Bond
and Humphreys to attend the Court, to endeavour a.
detect the robbers. On the constables getting to
the Court they did not perceive any suspicions clot.

Serjeant Barr, Mr. Warnamo.t., and Mr. ScaNate.
•are retained as Counsel on behalf of the State pri-
soners,• on their approaching trial. Their friends
propose to retain a fourth Counsel, who will probably
be Mr. Aimee. Mr. BeOVGIIAMi it is said, has been
applied to, but has declined. The prisoners have
been for some days more closely watched than usual.
They are allowed to hold no conversation, even with
their female relatives, except in hearing of the Yeo-
men who guard them.
Early on Saturday morning Mr. Brown, the
keeper of Newgate, was informed that attempts were
making in one of the cobvict wards fur escape: he
Went to the bed room, and the prisoners pretended to
be asleep ; soon after he had left the room, they gave
three cheers ; Mr Brown called up some of the two..
keys : they took out a few of the transports fur seven
years who had not been engaged in the attempt; as
soon as the others were let down in the day.room,
they broke all the windows and trames. The Loan
bilovost was sent for. Several persons that went in
to persuade them to desist, were threatened with
knives, &c. &c. The Loan MAYOR went in without
a constablec and demanded four of the ringleaders;
they came out and delivered themselves up ;—they
were immediately put in cells. The whole surren-
dered, and declared, as they were to be transported
for life, they were tired of being in Newgate ; they
11 bad no complaints to make, and only desired liberty.

The Second Report of the Comdtittee of the liuttee
of Commons appointed to inquire into the 3t..te of
the Police of the Metropolis, and to report the !lame,
with their Observations thereupon, from time to
time, to the House, together with the Minutes of
the Evidence taken before them ; aril who were in-
structed to re?ort generally upon the execution of the
Laws relating to the Licensing of Victuallers; dnd
to whom the several Petitions which have been pre-
sented in this Session of Parliament, relating to Li.
censed Victuallers, were referred, have, pursuant to
the Order of the House, inquired into the matters
to them Wetted, and agreed to their Report, which
has been printed. It is of considerable length, and
after a minute detail, thus coneledes

In reviewing the whole of the evidence that bas
been examined before your Committee, they feel
that the evils to be remedied in the present system
of licensing are :
I. Mt facility and parlidity with which, Ir some d:stricts,
rms. licenses are gran:ed.
difficulty that is found in pnitirc the p•esert laws in
force to punish the miseonduct of the publican, art the irrputiii
which in consequence he enjoys.
3. Tie insecurity et property, which is the consequence of
the arb!tmty power claimed and exercised ty the Mak:traces to
slept:we old established victuallers of their liceu,es.

In the remedies which they propose to the consi-
delation of the House, your Committee have prin-
cipally in view to lessen the temptations which are
held out• to the poor and ignorant t' destroy their
property and character by licenti,us living and in-
tercourse; and skile they place a bar to the further'
progrets of a system, the fatal effects of which are'
but too visible, they have no less in view the secu-
ring to the honest and sober tradesman the undis-
turbed enjoyment of his property, so long as he does
not offend against the laws of hi•.. country.
With these views, and under these circumstances,
your Committee recommend that the Certificate
which, on the obtaining of a new license, each
victualler is required by law to praline prior to ob.
mining such license, should be signed by the Mini.
.ter, or the major part of the Parish Officers, and a
certain number of respectable householder;, not only
of the parish in which be lived for the last siz months,
but also from the parish in which lie is about to open
the public-house; that in all transfers of licenses, the
in.coming victualler should be obliged to produce a
similar Certificate ; and that notice of such proposed
transfer should be given fourteen days at least by the
parties to the Clerk of the Justices' meeting.
That •the recognizance: should be 430 for each
alehouse-keeper, and 4€20 for one security or 130
fdr two, and that no victualler or brewer should be
security for another.

That in case of disorderly conduct, the Magistrates
in Petty Session should be empowered, upon proof
being given or set before them, to fine for the first
offence ;;Us. and not less than Aft.; for the second
offence £3, and not less than SUs.;. and for the third
offence to suspend the license till the next General
Quarter Sessions, when they are required to prose-
cute the ponies on the recognizance:, to send the
case to a Jury, and, if conviction be obtained, the
Court to have the power of either- cstreating the re
cognizance* or taking away thei.icenses, t.r both of
them. In all events where the license is estreated,
it is not to be renewed till the next licensing day,
when the house is to be taken, and considered as a
new house.

That in the case of a Petition for a license to open
a• new public-house. notice be given three months
prim se the licensing day to the clerk of the licensing
meeting. when the propriety of such license shall be
examined in open Court and that all the parties
have power to tender evidence on oath, and to be
heard by themselves or Counsel.
That no Magistrate shall license public-houses
that are his own property, or for which he is Ma-
nager or Agent, or sit on the Bench while they are
licensed.

That the Magistrates of the different Counties
and Divisions co send a return to the licensing Ma-
gistrate, of the different convictions had against the
Public-houses in the respective Districts, and that a
book be kept by the Clerk of the Justice meetings
to enter the same.

That the expense et • the proceedings., as well as•
dint of the trial by Jury, be paid out of the County
Of City Rates; and that the Clerk of the Justice
Meetings carry on such proceedings.
That no established victualler be deprived of his
license under any pretence whatever, without a trial
by Jury, in the manner above stated ; or except he
be convicted of felony, or misprision of felony, or
keeping. a disorderly house; when the licence shall
be forfeited, and no new license granted till the next
general licensing day.
That the Chairman of the Committee be directed
to bring in a all for tbebetter regulation of alehouses.

HYDROPHOBEA.-011 the 28th of March last medi-
cal aid was called in to Mr. John Wolf. near Ger-
mauatowa, in America, who complained .of a violent
paia in the shoulder, extending to thenec Ir. It hadoeen
supposed to be a rheumatic attack; and treated ac-
cordingly. When Dr. Runkle saw the patient, who
! was about 22 years and six months tad. lie was struck
with an expression of wildness in the eye, and a gene-
ral aspect at alarm. These symptoms, for the first
time, induced an idea that the case was very diffe-
rent from what it had heretofore been supposed.—
The Ductcr asked for some water; as soon as it was
brought, the patient shrunk back with alarm ;—the
water was then taken out of sight, and poured from
one vessel to another ; the sound produced a still
more serious alarm in the patient, and lest no longer
any doubt as to the nature of the disease. Upon
strict inquiry it was found, that Mr. W..lt hsd been
to Philadelphia in the month of December last, and
was bit in the calf of the leg, through his woollen
pantaloons, by a small dog. The nature of the
disease being ascertained, Mr. Wilt felt has situation,
and expressed his conviction that his death was ine.
likable. He requested this father to put him in irons ;
this his father refused to do ; the )(mug man him.
self then had the irons procured, and-put a padlock
en, locked it, and gave the key to his father. He
than desired to see the Rev. Mr. Wick, with whom
he had much religions conversation, prayed with ler-
, Tour, and resigned himself to the will of bu Cuga-
, To& Boon after the departure ~of Mr. Wick, the
disorder auaused its height, and Mr. Wolt died
about ail P. M. on fiaturdsy, Match 2'./.
