Yesterday Mamas Doyle, a lad of fifteen, was finally ezandned
before Mr. Twyford, on a charge of stealing two cash-buses, con-
taining 34.1. 15s. in cash, and a number of very valuable documents,
front his master's counting-house in 'Change-alley, Curnhill ; and a
boy named Chartes Connor, about the same age, was placed wit► him
at the bar. The two youths were apprehended under the following
singular circumstances:
The prisoner Doyle, who had been some months in the service of
Mr. Edmonds, a general agent it Nu. 9, Changt.alley, as porter and
-senge rand it the hour for commencing business on Friday morn-
log it was discovers dthat he had absconded with the two cash boxes
is question. It appears that he proceeded wall his plunder to a spot
near liall's•pood, Islington, where he broke open the two braes, and
having abitracted the cash, concealed the hose's anJ papers under
souse br...ks. I. the course oa the dip he met wl:h the latl Connor,
who had formed) been his schoolfellow, and prupo•ed treating him

some watchmen to direct them to a lodging fur the night. Thv
watchmen, finding that Doyle had a considerable sum tit money In
his posimsinn,very properly detained the boys, and conveyed them
so the watchhoose, where they were-marched by the night constable,
whe found 224 Ts. in Doyle's pockets. He said he had received
29L lOs. oo his twister's account on Friday, too late tosletiver it at
the counting house that evening, and that he then went to the,Co.
burg Theatre where he spent as. of the money. inquiry being
marled Mr. 'Theatre,
in 'Change-alley, the truth was ascertained,
and Doyle afterwards directed the constable, James Orford, to the
spot where he had deposited the boxes and papers.
A respectable young man said the lad Connor was his brother,
and lived with him, having been for some time out of a situation,
and that he was au honest and well disposed youth.
Doyle was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the ether
lad, who appeared to have bad no knowledge of the robbery, was
liberated.
Two Men, named Hileheoct and Port, were finally examined on
a chyle of stealing a horse worth 20 guineas, from Mr. Keit, a
coal merchant, at Stratford, in Rasex. Almost the only etidenee
against them was the confession of an accomplice, named Hawkins.
Hawkins was stopped early on the morning of July the 12th,
mounted on 'the horse in question. by Tyrrell, Grossmith, and
M' Williams, Bow-street officers ; and near the same spot, in Britt-
lame, Spitalfields, Hitchcock was taken, and some oats were found
in his hat and pockets. After their first examination, Hawkins
made the following confession—
That he saw Hitchcock the day before, who told Mm that Paget
wanted him to bring a horse to town. At night he and Hitchcock
proceeded to Stratford, with a bridle procured from Paget, in Raw-
lins, Spitalfiekls. Hitchcock left him in the road for a short time,'
and returned to him with the horse on which the officers found him.

The search of the officers after Paget was unsuccessful until last
Saturday fortnight, when Adams, a street-keeper, met him in Spi-
talfields, and stook ►im into Custody. He desired to be taken,
to Mr. Garton, at Worship-street, who, be said, " knew it was aU,
right ;" hut on his way to the office he escaped from the street
keeper, and wai retaken by a watchman.
Paget and Hitchcock were committed to Newgate, and Hawkins
also was committed to safe comedy.

FINAL Accineriv.—A Coat and Silver Badge, and other prize*,
given by the Ladles and Gentlemen of Greenwich, was on Monday
rowed for in Five Heats, by the following six young men, water-
men's Ipprentices, of the above place James Burgess, light bNe ;
James Lovett, orange; Richard Sbersby, green ; John Giles, yet-
low ; Matthew Grove, pink; and Henry Hallett, dark blue. The
first Heat was won by Orange and Green ; the second by Yellow
and Pink • the third, by Pink and Dark Blue ; and the fourth, by
Yellow and Green—who, at half-past seven, took their stations for
the Coat and Badge. On the pistol being fired, off they went,
Yellow taking the lead, which he maintained in most excellent
style the whole distance, and won the Prize by several boats'
lengths. The distance rowed was about four miles, and extended
along the whole front of the town. The second man received £5,
and the remaining four £5 10s. ,C 2 10s. Si ins. and ff. The
match commenced at eleven o'clock, and did not conclude till half-
past eight. The wagermen were towed past the town in proces-
sion, and on their landing were most tumultuously cheered by an
immense concourse of persons. Several steam-boats stopped during
the Heats, and the bands on board enlivened the scene by playing
" God save the King," and other popular airs. A most melon- I
choly accident, however, threw a damp on the sports ditring the
Grand Heat. A man of the name of •Joseph Smith, fishmonger
and crier of Greenwich blarket, was in a boat alongside a barge
filled with company, and on seeing Giles take the lead, offered to
bet a sovereign on him. The bet being taken, Smith immediately
got up in the boat, and while taking a sovereign from his pocket,
he unfortunately fell overboard, and after several struggles, sunk to
rise no more. Drags were procured, and the 'body was in about
twenty minutes after picked up, and conveyed to the Seatneu's
Hospital ship, where one hoar and a half were expended In en-
deavouring to restore animation, without effect. Seven children are
left to deplore his loss, and his widow is hourly expected to be
confined with the eighth.
STAG HUNT ON THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY, •

coax, ♦coast 3.

Exraacr or a IdaTTll.—lie weather has been excessively wet
heie since last I wrote you. Friday was so very much so, that the
bunt was postponed until yesterday, which was also very unfavour-
able. However (as Mr. Wilmot-Horton must leaventhis on Mon-
day far London), Lord Kenmore and his distinguished visitors, at-
tended by several other parties, set off from Ross about twelve
o'clock. The passage. through the Old Weir Bridge was highly
interesting, as the 'almost efforts. of the several boats' crews were
necessarily exerted to haul the boats up against the current.—
These obstacles being speedily overcome, and all the boats being
properly arranged, Mr. O'Connell gave the signal, by firing a gun
from his fine barge The Erin. In a abort time the cry of the
hounds was heard reverberated by a thousand echoes, and soon a
noble stag made his appearance, bounding along the sides of the
lofty mountains, at the long range, followed by the dogs in full cry.
The scene for two or three hours after this exceeds all description ;
at times a view would be got of the pack dashing into or from a
deep cover; now ascending the steep declivity of the mountain,
then for a moment a view of the stag; again be would be hid
among the glens and lofty•irea, the pack also hidden from our
sight, but their sweet music was also heard echoed and re-echoed,
whit the stag, anxious to refresh himself, took to the soil, crossed
the Upper Lake near Coleman's Eye, and crossed to Cromeglaun.
Being headed here, be re-escaped to the long range, and having
come on a bind in lair, he practised a stratagem very usual with
these animals, drove the hind out before the hounds, and escaped ;
the hind was shortly hunted down to the soil, and being taken,
was brought to Lady Kenmore's barge, who ordered her to he,
again set at liberty, and being enlarged, swam to the shore . and
ascended her native mountains, amidst the cheers of the spectators,'
who were all highly delighted. I was most happy to perceive the
hunt seemed to afford the greatest gratification to Mr. \V. Horton,
and the distinguished party in the boat with Lady and Lord Ken-
more, amoogst whom I recognised our talented and highly es.
teemed Representative the Knight of Kerry, and his son. As Mrs.
W. Horton, Mr. T. Horton, ate. remain here for some time, I un-
derstand it is Mr. O'Cunnell's intention to have another hunt the
I.tts r part of this week, or early next. Mr. W. Horton expieued
in very animated let ms to Mr. O'Connell, his high adnaralion and
delight of the hunt and scenery...4l,4 Chronicle. •
