POLICE. --

A Casson Xi of Mcemasa!—Yll;l4gy a female
servant, employed it a Boarding School for Young Ladies, went
into the Privy, at the bottom of the Garden, when she beard a
noise, from which she bad very little doubt bat a man was in it
under the seat. ob. in consequence pre an alarm, when the
Overseer of the Parish, accompanied by a man, repaired to the
place, and found the servant's suspicions; well grounded, a
man being there. They inquired of him, what he was doing
there? to which he could give no rational answer, but acknow-
ledged that his conduct was the act of a madman. When be
was got out, be was found to be armed with • a " knife, sharp
and long !" He had been seen sear the premises, and it was
supposed he had been in the Privy a number of hours. Ile was
taken before a Magistrate who resides in the neighbourhood,
when the cue being such an extraordinary one, he ordered him
to be brought to Bow-street, when he underwent an examina-
tion before Mr. Bums; and yesterday morning he was exa-
mined again before the sanie Magistrate and Mr. Hess, when
it turned out that the prisoner had been in other Prises belong-
ing to Female Boarding Schools. He said his name was Richard
Ravening ; but by a paper found on him, it proved that his name
was Taylor, and that he was a discharged sailor from the
ship Cerfide.—He was convicted, and committed as a rogue and
vagabond.
Harross-O•aore—Lloyd's-row, near Sadler's Wells, has been
for some time in a state of confusion, owing to the following cir-
cumstance : • Mr. Bushey, wits keeps a chandler's shop in that
place, being in arrears of rent, had, about three weeks since, a
man put in possession ; who one evening accompanied Mr. 8. to
a neighbouring public-house, where he contrived to give him the
slip, fastened his doors and windows, and refused to admit old
Cedensa on his return. In consequence, he applied at this office
for authority to force the door; but it appearing he had volun-
tarily left the premises, he was refused. He then, in eonjunction
with the broker who had employed him, determined to blockade
the fortress; and in hopes of starving out the garrison, refused
entrance to any supplies whatever. Mr. R's friends, however,
have contrived to supply the family with necessaries, by means
of a rope thrown from the two pair of stairs window. Yester-
day Mr. Fills, Landlord of the Coach and Horses, Islingtos.read,
was brought to this Office, charged with supplying them by this
meats with porter, but was instantly, on the case being stated,
discharged, and the parties bringing him up severely repriman-
ded. They immediately returned to the spot, hoping, that as
they are neither allowed-to storm nor starve out the garrison,
they may be enabled to take the opportunity of some moment
of relaxed discipline to obtain admission by stratagem. In the
mean time, the Police are ordered to attend, to prevent or nip
in the bud any attempt at riot.

Cotton's's INQCIAT.--Yesterday evening, an Inquest was held
at the sign of the Mitre, Upper-street, Islington, on the body of
Mr. John Knight, a respectable inhabitant of that street. It ap-
peared from the evidence, that the deceased had spent the even-
ing preceding his death with some friends in Holborn, where he
remained until alsout eleven o'clock, at which time he came
away on his return home, being quite sober. About lit o'clock
the same night, he was found by the watchman, lying in a speech-
less state, quite insensible, near St. John's-square, where it is
supposed he kll in a fit. He was conveyed in that state to St.
John's watch-house Clerkenwell, and placed sitting in one cor-
ner of it. No medical assistance nor inquiry was made conceruirg
him, until about ten o'clocknext morning, when his pockets were
searched, and his address discovered. lie was then conveyed
home, Mr. Wm. Temple, Upper-street, Islington, was sent far,
who rendered all the assistance be could, bt.t without effect, as
he died in the course of a few hours afterwards. The opinion of
the surgeon was, that the deceased died of a fit of apoplexy ; but
that if medical assistance had been rendered in time, it might
have prevented his dissolution so soon, though he could not take
upon himself to say it would. After some consultation, the Jury
returned the following verdict.—" Died by the visitation of GOD
in a fit of apoplexy." They added, "at the same time, the Jury
cannot record the verdict, without expressing their indignation
at the want of attention manifested on the part of the superin-
tendent of the watch, of the parish of St. John, Qerkenwell, in
permitting the deceased to remain in a state of insensibility,
without calling in medical assistance."
The following is an Extract of a Letter received
by Mr. JACOB GLAISTOR, of Liverpool, dated King-
ston, Jamaica, March 14, 1818:

" DLAR Ste—As an Intimate friend of your son, I deem it
my duty to detail to you the particulars of the unfortunate fate
of himself and his brother Jacob, as related by one of the stir-
v•vors. Your two sons, Captain Glaistor and his brother Jacob,
sailed from this in his vessel on the Sth of December last, bound
to the island of Arabu, in the Gulf of Maracaybo, for the pur-
pose of trading for a cargo of horses and cattle with the Indians.
lie arrived in the Gulf of Maraeaybo on or about the 3d day of
January ; commenced his trade, and was succeeding beyond his
most sanguine expectations, when, on the morning of the 9th of
January he had 134 head f cattle on board, and fully expected
to have completed his cargo on that day, and had sent his boat on
shore fur that purpose. The boat had got a load of cattle, and
was costing off to the vessel, when a few of the Indians wished
to come off in the boat ; but this the boat's crew would not
suffer, and a scuffle ensued, when the crew of the boat being over-
powered, were soon numbered with the dead. $:-me Indians
(in number forty) during this contest went off in their canoes to
the vessel, boarded her, and kilted every rrs...is on beard with tie
exception of two t your two sons (sorry am Ito say) // anscri: the
first. When this tragic scene was over, the Indians beg.m to
plunder the vessel of every portable article, trick all the caul: on
shore, and then set fire to the vessel. The two men who escaped
hid themselves under some grass on board the vessel, and when
di-covered were dragged on shore and sold as slaves to the Cap-
t.tin of a trading sloop belonging to Curacoa, and arrived here a
f-w days ago.—l am, &c. (Signed)
Captain GEORGE SCIIELDIIELM, a Naval Officer,
who was forwarded to Englar.d in order to transact
business for the Danish Consul, left his house on Fri-
day morning for the purpose of going to the Office
in ‘Varnford Court., liishopsgate-street, to leave some
documents to be sent to D:nmark. Ile left them
with the clerk. and after giving necessary directions,
went away, apparently in good health and spirits.—
fie had property to a great amount in his pocket
when he left home, and being missed ever since,
every inquiry after him was ineffectual, till yesterday
morning, when the body of a man answering his de-
scription, was found floating in the City Cana by
two lightermen, who brought it on shore, and was
recognized to be the body of the above Gentleman by
his man servant. The body was in such a state as
to prevent any injury (if received) from being obser-
ved. The case being involved in mystery, the body
I lies for a Coroner's Inquest.

Yesterday morning .the body of Thomas Page, a
young man, in the employ of Mr. WILLIAM HALT,
bricklayer, of Terrace-place, Stepney, was found dead
in a well, which consists of a water-tub sui.k in the
ground, with his head downwards ; ho had been at
work squeezing some lime the night previous, about
three yards from the well, and from his not being at
home all night, it is suppose l that he was in the water
all the time.

Tuesday, as Mr. SEAGER, of Pimlico, was passing
through Fleet-street, he was hustled by a gang of
thieves, who cut his pocket-book out of his pocket,
containing Bank-notes to the amount of 1781. with
which they got clear off.
' Tuesday evening, as the Preston coach was coining
up Midge-street, Manchester, three children were
crossing over the street, and a cart also passing, and
another cart standing, when two of the children got
unfortunately entangled in the wheels'of the coach,
and were killed.

EFFECTS OF THE LATE FLoon.—Yesterday, the
body of a young man, residing at Tottenham, who
has been missing.since the late dreadful flood, which
has done some injury in that town, was found float-
ing in the water of the New River; the body was in
a dreadful state of putrefaction ; it was taken to the
White Hart.
