THE ARMY:

That loyal and respectable corps, the Dumfries-
shire vennianry cavalry, were on Monday se'nnight
inspected byColonel M'Mortno, inspecting field officer
for the district, when they made a most regular and
military appearance.
Friday last the 50th Regiment of Foot left quer-
v.: s in Lewes and marched into the barracks there,
Ivhere they succeeded the sth Foot, gone to Ireland
Captain NORTHERN, of the 82d Foot, we are sorry
to state, was killed about a month ago, whilst on
guard in the garrison at Gibraltar, by falling over the
ramparts there.
The General Court Martial again assembled yes-
terday at Chelsea College, hearing the detente of
L'etitcriant WALTER WILLIAM LEWIS, of the 2d
Rny al Tower Hamlet Regiment of Militia, against
whom several charges have been preferred by C010u.21
u.21 SMITH, commanding the said regiment of Militia;
the particulars of which have already been stated by us.
Several witnesses on behalf of the prisoner were
examined, amongst whom General THORNTON was
one.
The defence of the prisoner being then handed by
Mr. BUM (his Counsel) to the Honourable CHARLES
M‘NNERs SUTTON, the Deputy Judge Advocate, it
was read by him to the Court in his usual impressive
style. The whole of the proceedings being thus ended,
the Court closed in order that its Members might de.
termine upon their sentence on the prisoner, the re-
sult of which will not be made public till sanctioned
by his Majesty.
LOCAL MILITIA.—SamueI Evans, a private belong.
to the West Mendhip Somerset Local Militia,
corm coded by Col,nel ROGERS, has been convicted
in itre penalty of R2O, for not having attended to the
traininz and duty of the regiment when embodied,
and not being able to pay the said fine, is committed
to prison for six months.
Joseph Chapel, a private of the West Gloucester
Local Militia, has been guilty of a similar offence,
and is also committed to prison for six months.
A General Court Martial will be held, in a few
dais, at Chelsea College, for the purpose of investi-
gating charges of a very flagrant nature, which are
preterre.d against an Officer belonging to a regiment
of militia.

Samuel French and Robert Cockerel!, privates of
&e Middlesex Militia, have been sentenced, by a MI-
I:Ary Court M.trtial, to receive 500 lashes each, for
des;rtion.

If Naeoteom adheres to his declaration respecting
the Berlin and Milan Decrees, there c in hardly be any
difficulty even in point of etiquette, as to the revora-
ti,r, of the remains of our Orders in Council. The
words of the French Minister's letter are In this new
state of things, Sir, I am authorised to declare to you,
that the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are revoked,
and that from the Ist of November they will cease
to be in force, it being understood that in consequence
of this declaration, the English shall revoke their
Orders in Council, and renounce the new princ•ples
of blockade, which they have attempted to establish:
or, that the United States, conformably to the Act
which you have just communicated, shall cause their
rights to be respected by the English." After this de.
&ration on the part ef the French Government that
their Decrees are revoked, and shall cease to be in force
from the Ist of November, there is nothing that can
reasonably prevent a declaration on our part, that the
measures adopted by us, expressly on the principle of
retaliation, should cease to be in force at the same
time with the obnoxious decrees. From the conclud-
ing member if the sentence, it indeed appears that
the decrees are to he revoked at any rate, provided
the Americans cause their rights to be respected by
the English. Any backwardness on our parts, there-
tore, must embroil us with the Americans, whom
NAPOLEON now addresses in that tone of fulsome
flattery which he so readily assumes towards those
whom he wishes to bend to his purposes.
REPEAL or THE UNION.—The Right Hon. HENRY
GRATTAN and the Him. Mr. R. SHAW. the two
Members for the City of Dublin, are to be delegated
to present the Petition to the Me% praying for a
Repeal of the Act of Union, and a Restoration of
the Parliament of Ireland.
BREAD.--There was no Court of Aldermen held
this day : the Loan MAYOR, after inspecting the re-
tuins, ordered the price of bread to be reduced One
Penny per Peck.
There was an import into Liverpool last week of
22436 bushels of wheat, and 11,299 barrels of flour.
T:.ere has been a remarkable good harvest this sea-
fan in Portugal. Some thousands of the soldiers have
teen employed in getting it in.
The shipments of linen from Ireland to the Ame.
ncan market, have for some weeks been unusually
great.

- Three guineas per foot, have been asked by the
Commissioners concerned in the new improvements
at Westminster, for the vacant ground adjoining the
,
new Guildhall.

Tuesday last, Mr. John Symons, surgeon of the
dinhurgh Militia, was served with an indictment to
?Ice nis trial before the High Court of Justiciary, for
Lie murder of Mr. John Boyd, engraver, in a scuffle
la the streets.

Many persons have been reduced from a state of
'dependence to absolute want, from the practice of
entering into extensive and dangerous speculations, in
which a fortune must often be risked in order to gain
tae ; but a prudent man will never speculate beyond
his means. The only way in which a speedy fortune
°IaY be made by a very trifling risk is the Lottery,
and that which draws in October Next presents a more
favourable opportunity to Adventurers than any that
ever preceded it.
At the poney races at Eaton there was tolerable
sport, but an unfortunate accident threw an universal
gloom over the rustic mirth. A scaffold which had
been erected by some unskilful person, for the pur-
pose of seeing the races, gave way, with 200 people
upon it, but luckily, unless from fear, and some slight
bruises, no one received any material injury, with the
exception of a poor boy, twelve years old, who had
his leg broken. A subscription was immediately set
on foot upon the race ground for him, and it met
*ith general support.

GRAND CRIcKEr MATCH—Satin-6lay se'nnight there
was a grand match of Cricket in the Phcenix Park, Dub-
lin, between his Grace the Lord Lieutenant and the
Officers of the 7th Light Dragoons. The Vice-Regal
party consisted of the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Frank-
fort, Colonel Rogers, Mr. Norcott, and seven of his
Grace's servants—the other party, of the Officers and
Privates of the 7th, (or Paget's Hussars). After a
good deal of sport, the day was won by the latter.
In the evening, the Lord Lieutenant gave a grand
dinner to the contending parties, and several Gentle.
men and Officers of other regiments, in a tent pitched
on the field for the purpose. The concourse of spec-
tat Drs was immense.

SmuNc-MATCH.—The annual Silver Cup and
Cover given by the Proprietors of the New Ranelagl,
Gar Jen, situated on the banks of the Thames, between
Millbank and Chelsea, in honour of his Royal High-
ness the Prince of WALES'S Birth-day, was contended
for yesterday by Gentlemen's pleasure•boats, not ex•
ceeding ten tons. The following were the competi-
tors, viz.--

The Spitfire • 4 tons • Captain Noce
Caroline - S rons - Captain FILLON.
Mercury - 7 tons - Captain ASTLRY.
Rival . - 7 tons - Captain Hors.
Calypso - 4 tons - Captain FALLOW.
Infantry Mary 4 tons - Captain Nu.suir.
Henrietta - 5 tons - Captain ',awls.

They started at five o'clock from Blackfriars-bridge,
to go round a boat which was moored off Putney.
The Spitfire got the start, and sheeted her sails, there
being very little wind. She kept the lead within half
a mile of the moored boat, when she dropped a-stern
for want of wind and tide. The Mercury did not go
farther than Battersea.—The Cup is to be sailed for
over again this day fortnight. It is the handsomest
ever given. It was decorated with blue ribbands. A
military band was in attendance, and a great con-
course of people were collected along the banks of
the Thames. We did nor. hear of any accident.

The New Ranelagh Gardens were numerously at-
tended. The Rowing Match for a Wherry, given
by the Members'of the Funny Club, this day, as the
wager is to be decided at this delightful spot, will no
doubt draw hither all the haul lon in town.
BOXING—The match between Blake and Black was
Ilto take place this morning on the ground where Rich-
man and Cribb fought last year, near Margate.—
The road thither was thronged yesterday afternoon
with amateurs of the fist. slake is the favourite, at
about 6to 4. The match is for 100 guineas.
A most obstinate battle was fought on Thorney
Downs, the seat of Colonel Uppage, at Thorney,
r Hants, on Saturday, between George Hardinge, a
professor of boxing, and a weaver, of the name of
Benjamin, from Shropshire ; the former of whom was
backed by the Colonel, and the Shropshire man by
three master weavers. Flowers, the provincial bruiser,
seconded Hardinge, and Jones, the pugilist, seconded
Benjamin. The first round was a most tremendous
one, each of the pugilists exchanged at least half a
dozen facers, until the blood flew in torrents, and they
fell from loss of wind. This system of fighting was
kept np until about the ninth round, when Benjamin
exhibited wmkness, but he gavehis antagonist a heavy
fall in abo ►t the tenth round, when the combatants
were alike worn out and disfigured. Neither could
appear to time, and after waiting five minutes by con-
sent the corabat was renewed, and Hardinge won the
bistue by science, atter a COMM of 40 minutes.

AUGUST 20.—Yesterdly, it rained with very little
interval the greater part of the day. This is one of
the finest days we have had for some time; and now
that Canterbury Races are over, our visi•ors ate not
only numerous, but in many instances of considerable
distinction.

Saturday, a meeting ar is held in the hmkruptcy of
Messrs. 13micawmos and Co. The large apartment
.n Guildhall, devoted to trials in the Court of King's
Bench, was applied to this purpose, and was corn.
pletely filled with persons concerned in the commis-
sion and creditors. On account of the great influx
of claimants, it was found impossible to ex amine into
the merits of their respective demands in th, enure of
the day, and it was therefore allowed them to Foy&
their demsnds, leaving the inquiry into the validity of
their pretensions until some future opportunity. TJp-
wards of SOO proofs were admitted muter them cir.

Saturday forenoon something was seen on the water
at Dover, coming into the Bay fr im the Westward,
which at first view had the appearance of a large yes.
red, bottom upwards ; but upon coming nearer in, it
was found to be a large Whale, which, after playing
about in the Bay on the surface of the sea for a c ►n.
siderable time, and at intervals throwing the water to
a great height, took its course round the South Fore.
land, and disappeared. In passing the Foreland, it
seemed at one time to be very near on shore.
A droll mistake happened in the Criminal Court at
the Lincoln Assizes last Tuesday. Whilst three men
for a burglary, at Wrangle, were on tri il, a Lady of
respectability was by favour introduced to a seat be.
hind the bar, immediately before the space ;it the
court allotted to the audience : she was dressed in a
habit and beaver hat, and her curiosity prompting her
sometimes to stand up, she at last caught the obser-
vation of the Judge, who, deceived by her dress, ex-
claimed with indignation, why dal not that man take
of his hat ?" The confusion of the Lady was ex-
treme : she sunk upon her seat, amidst the unchari-
table laughter of the whole Court ; not even the pri-
soners refraining from a smile at the mistake.
A humorous repartee occurred at the Lincoln
Assizes, in the cause Leaf v. Ring." Mr. COPLEY,
Counsel for the defendant, maintained in his address
to the Jury, that the case of the plaintiff was very in-
sufficiently made out, for he had in fact produced
only one witness ; that witness was a bailiff, named
Green ; the other person who had been called Mr. F.
Johnson, the Bailiff's assistant, was bound to say what-
ever his principal said ; and therefore the two were, to
the intents and purposes of justice, but one witness.
4, What," said Justice Ghost, you look upon them
in the light of man and wife, do you, Mr. Copley ?"
Aye, my Lord, to be sure," replied the witty Bar-
rister, " and I will maintain against any man, that a
Bailifand his bum are but onejlesh, all the world over I"
The Court was convulsed with laughter.

At the Cambridge Assizes, an action was brought
by W. Wilkinson, who was rider and tits; king-groom
to Sir SITWELL SITWELL, with whom he h.id lived in
that capacity fifteen years, for defamation against Mr.
OMERA, for calling him a " poison-water rascal,"
and accusing him at Newm:trket of having been con.
cerned in poisoning the water at Doncaster, in conse.
(pence of which imputations Wilkinson lost his ser.
vice. The Judge, Sir JAMES MANSVIIILD, Wits Of mi.
nion that the words were not in themselves actionable,
nor sufficiently pointed to induce the discharge of
plaintiff from the service of his master.—Plaintiff
uonsuited.

.cepta,. Logal_,
chAncs, Liverpool, was found guilty, and had sen-
tence of death passed upon him. Mr. Hutchinson
was a respectable merchant, and his appearance and
dc;-ortment excited general commiseration, and the
issue of this case produced a visible expression of re-
gret. Mr. Rhodes, one of the prosecutors, addressed
the Judge after the verdict, in favour of the prisoner.
We untletstand this unfortunate person was on the
eve of being married.—J. Cheeseborough, for stealing
a mare ; Wm. Silverside, aged 17, for privately steal-
in Francis Harcicastle, for a burglary, &c. and R.
ilskinson, for stealing six heifers, were severally found
guilty, and received sentence of death.

Joshua Beaumont, of the parish of Kirk Heaton, in
the County of York, labourer, was indicted for the!
wilful murder of Lucy Brooke, late of Almondbury,
in the West Riding of the said County, on the 25th
pf July last.
Mr. BARROW stated the circumstances of the case,
which, if he was rightly instructed, would bring the
charge home to the prisoner at the bar. He called
Jane Asquith, who said she lives at Almondbury,
about 200 yards from Lucy Brooke's ; witness knows
the prisoner ; he called at the witness's house on
Wednesday the 25th of July last, a fetv minutes be-
fore nine o'clock at nigkt ; he said he was going
home. Witness does not know he was in the habit i
of visiting Lucy Brooke ; her house was in the pri-
soner's road home. Witness was acquainted with the
deceased ; she supported herself by teaching a school; ,
was about 58 years of age, and a widow ; she was
not in great health ; but much as usual. Witness
never heard of her having a fit in her life.
Being cross-examined by Mr. HULLOCX, witness
said the road leads close past the deceased's house ;
she had known the prisoner a good many years ; it
Was day light ; he had about two miles to go home;
and to go past the deceased's house was his nearest
way : there is a house on each side, within 200 yards
of the deceased's ; there are four families upon a
hill near her, besides the witness's ; there was a feast
at Almondbury, about half a mile from witness's
house ; it was a society of men ; there were no great
deal of people passing on the road then ; they were
mostly gone home. Prisoner went to the feast be-
tween five and six on that day ; he did not call in
going ; witness saw none coming back when he did ;
they were labintring people who lived upon the hill,
fifteen or sixteen persons altogether ; they don't go to
bed much before nine o'clock ; the children might
go sooner.
Being asked what kind of feast it was ?—Witness
*said it was a club feast of a friendly society.
Geocge Lodge says he is a brick maker, and lives
upon Almondbury-bank, not 100 yards from Lucy
Brooke's cottage—on Wednesday the 25th July last,
be went to Lucy Brooke's with a-candle to get a light
—he found the door rather better than halt open—
witness said " I saw her; she told me there was some
piper, which I took, and lighted the candle myself—
Ilaw the prisoner there, and I left him there; I went
away directly. Prisoner and Lucy Brooke knew one
another; they-were talking together, appeared friendly
as far as I saw; she was in good health, same as
usual, as far as I saw; her house is only one room,
with a stone-floortand a bed in it." Witness cannot
recollect any part of their conversation ; after the
dolUtahle came, witness went again to the house :
I went for the constable, Thomas Cliff told ate to go.
To questions by Mr. Houma—Witness said he
livcsl with his father and mother, and he had one
youoger brother-;-his father and mother were out,
and,he went for a light to make a fire against they
r:torned.

. Thomas Cliff lives upon Almondbury-bank, is a
clothier by trade, said, that on Wednesday the 25th
July last, a little turned nine o'clock, he was passing
Lucy Brooke's door. I heard a groan, and I went
to the door. Being asked what kind of a groan, he
said a mournful one, of a woman's voice ; it led me
to the door, I found it wide open, there was a bit of
alight in the house, but not moth. I saw the pri-
soner getting up. Lucy Brooke was lying upon the
floor. Prisoner came to the (low and buttoned his
clothes. I did not see his clothes till he came to the
door, and then I saw him buttoning them. Prisoner
was in the act of getting up from her when I first
saw him. Prisoner followed the witness to the top of
the hill ;, he said she was like a dead pig." Pri-
soner went back, and I went for some women. I said
nothing to the prisoner. I returned with the women.
immediately ; the prisoner was flinging her on the
bed ;he said, " She is like a dead pig." He had
raised her from the floor, and left her partly upon the
bed. Prisoner went away, he seemed to be flurried.
Witness does not know whether she was then alive
or dead. He went for a doctor—the women staid.
Witness knows the prisoner, he is unmarried, he lives
about two miles front Lucy Brooke's—there is a high
road passes by Lucy Brooke's house. •
Being cross-examined by Mr. Iletrocic. he said he
lived about 200 yards from Lucy Brooke's ; it was
not quite dark ; when he was about ten yards off he
heard the moaning ; the road is close past the door ;
lo only heard one moan ; there was no scream, or
shout of distress ; if there had been any outcry, he
could have heard it. Prisoner was getting up, don't
know that heinew the witness; he repeated the same
egression upon the hill ; don't know he was flurried'
at that time.

To -a question by the Judge, witness said the Pri-
soner was a farmer, he supposed.
Miry Kaye lives at Almosdbury; says she went to
the house of the deceased, with Mary Armitage and
Mary Gill, the deceased was lying on the stone floor,
prisoner. said, fe Get up, you lay like a dead pig on
the i 1 or r' We helped her up, and laid her with her
arms and ter herd on the bed.

To a question by the Judge—Witness said, the de-
ceased could not help herself; she could not take her
breath, or any thing.
Witness said, they did not examine her till the
constable came, and then did not see any blood upon
her. There was blood on the floor ; di I not observe
she was bruised. When they spoke of sending for a
constable, prisoner set off and walked away. Witness
had seen the prisoner before, but did not know lii•
au Witaeas said, 4‘ We staid at the door cal §rst

going up ; observed the deceased's cap lying on the
hearth, the fire-poker-was laid by it on the floor ; the,
tongs were laid down inside the fender ; the fender
was in its proper place ; the deceased was lying
about a yard from the bed ; we could not see her
from the read ; the door opened inwards on the left
hand ; we saw the body immediately at the door."
. Mary Gill says, she lives at Almondbury ; that in
consequence of what Cliff said, she went to Lucy
Brooke's house, with Mary Kaye and Mary Armi-
tage ; the prisoner was in the house ; the deceased
was lying upon the floor ; prisoner lifted her head
and arms upon the bed, and said " Damn you, get
up, you lay like a dead pig." Prisoner did not stay
above a minute or two. Witness said to a young
woman, that the deceased ought not to be left ; Pri-
soner replied, " No, you should not leave her ;" and
he went away. •
To a question by the Judge—Witness did not hear
any thing said to induce the prisoner to go away.
To a question from Mr. HULLOCK, said, prisoner
desired us not to leave her, and he went away.
Benjamin Brooke, son of Lucy Brooke, says he
lives at Almondbury, but not with his mother ;—he
saw her on Tuesday the 24111 of July ; she then told
him she was in as good health'as ever she had been
in her life, and she appeared to be so. That on the
25th, hearing of her death by Mary Gill and Mary
Armitage, he came to her house about twenty mi-
nutes past nine o'clock ; it was nearly dark ; there
were a read many people about ; none of them would
go in, " so I lit a candle at a neighbour's house, and
went in first ; I found her head and shoulders and
arms lying on the bed, and the other part was on the
floor. 1 believe she was dead. Some thought she
! drew breath ; but I never thought so ; there was a
large lump, half the size of my fist, upon her left eye ;
her hair was thrown in a sad manner, and full of ashes
' and cinders. I did not just then observe her breast.
Her face was almost covered with blood ; her hand-
i kerchief round her neck was bloody ; the fire-irons
were scattered about ; her cap was laid on the bed."
Being cross-examined by Mr. HULLOCK, witness
• said her arm was ill burnt ; she was left on the bed
that night ; her face was bloody at her nose and
mouth ; it came out all the time she was laid out
It it came constantly. Jane Asquith was one that laid
her out.
Being questioned by the Judge—Witness said, his
mother was going of .56 years of age ; she was in
health like other people of her age. He had known
the prisoner a long time before ; but did not know he
was acquainted with his mother ; witness never saw
him there ; prisoner was an apprentice in the husban-
dry business ; witness knew him a 1 the time ; he
drove carts, and was capable of doing his business as
a husbandman
Jane Asquith was again called, who said she pul-
led the deceased's clothes off, and was there whilst
she was laid out. She had a black eye, it was swel-
led but not broke ; her arm burnt, her nose bled a
little, but did not observe any from her mouth.
Mr. William Wilks, of Huddersfield, surgeon, said
be lives about a mile and a half from Almondbury ;
was requested by the Coroner to attend to examine
the body of the deceased, on the evening of the 26th
July ; the body appeared not to have been touched
by a surgeon. Found a discolouring of a livid ap-
pearance in the face, the arms, and the breast. The
right arm was much burnt from the elbow to the
wrist, " and there was a considerable contusion and
tumefaction on the left eye ; these were all the exter-
nal marks of violence lie could observe. The hair, of
which there was a large quantity, was very much
dishevelled. ,4 I dissected the scalp, and there was
no marks of violence or injury appeared on the scull;
upon taking off the scalp to examine the brain, there
appeared a remarkable fulDess or turg,ency of the
blond vessels, but in every other respect the brain ap-
peared in a healthy state. These were all the obser-
vations I made ; I could not take upon me to say
what had been the cause of her death. The appear-
ance on the brain is common in suffocation and
strangulation, and from those appearances suffoca-
tion and strangulation might have been the cause of
her death,
On his cross-examination, he was asked if her death
had been caused by strangulation or suffocation ; by
external force to the neck or throat, would there not
have been other appearances ? Witness answered,
" there was very great probability there would have
been other marks, but cannot say there would." Wit-
ness did not open the body—there might have been
blood-vessas full about the heart. Witness said there
were none ruptured about the brain—the blood from
the nose might have proceeded from some small ves-
sel in the nose, or it might have proceeded from some
other part ; if a large vessel by sudden exertion had
broke, it might have produced sudden death, the ap-
pearance of apoplexy ; if it had proceeded from the
heart, there would not have been that appearance on
the brain. " I cannot, upon my oath, say what her
death arose from ; the other marks could not occasion
it ; it might proceed from the fulness of the vessels
in her head ; but what that fulness was occasioned by
I cannot take upon me to say."
To questions on behalf of the Prosecution—Witness
said, suffocation could not produce the appearance of
the blood-vessels : strangulation by pressure would
have produced that effect undoubtedly.
The Judge put several questions respecting the wit-
ness's distinction between strangulation and suffoca-
tion, of which the witness was at a loss to explain
his meaning; but said, a pressure upon the neck,
her resistance, and a person upon her, might have
caused the appearance on the brain.
The Prisoner being asked if he had any thing to say
in his defence, replied, " I was a spectator like other
people, I was looking on Eke other people." He had
no witnesses : his friends being poor people, he could
not bring them.'
His Lordship observed to the Jury," that this was a most seri-
ous ease; It involved more titan one capital crime; it would re-
quire their set ions consideration before they came to a conclu-
sion: the prisoner is indicted for Murder, and upon this inquiry
it involves him in the crime of R.:4se tom. His defence does not
at all help us to any solution of the question before us. You must
be satisfied that the deceased came to her death by the violence
of the prisoner at the bar; if his intentions were to commit foul
violence tipan her and did not intend to murder her, it would
in law amount to the same. The law very wisely, for the
protection of the set, has made that offence punishable with
death. This poor woman, mother of children, and at an age
averse to the et intinal passion, he thought of the probability of
subduing, when nobody was near her; he called at her cottage un-
der the bill, where she kept a c; 00l to supply herself with scanty

being bruised, her appearance, bespoke the resistance she had
made. The blood may be ascribed to her strugglmg : she might
have broke a blood-vessel, which caused the appearance on the
brain, and caused her death. It is much to be lamented the sur-
geon did not open the body; it would have been more satisfac-
tory of the real cm ze of her death." After some further obser-
vations on the evidence, his Lordship observed, if they could
seriously ascribe her death to any other cause than the prisoner,
they would acquit him • but if they were satisfied of the evi•
dence, that she canto tole!' deaths in resisting the violence of the
prisoner, they would find him guilty."
The Jury retired about fifteen minutes, and re-
turned, finding the prisoner—Guilty.
Upon which his Lordship, after a suitable exhor-
tation to the prisoner, to spend the remainder of the
short time he had to live, in applying for mercy to
that BEING who alone can grant it, passed the usual
sentence of Death upon him, and ordered his body
for dissection.

AUG. 15. This forenoon, about eleven o'clock, the
sentence of the law was put in force on the above
wretched culprit. After praying for some time, he
was launched from the New Drop, behind the Castle,
into eternity, seemingly insensible, by public confession,
,of the horrid crime he had committed. His body was
afterwards &livered to the surgoons of the Infirmary
at York, for dissection.

Saturday morning, a woman passing over Black-
friars-1 ridge at a quick pace, suddenly stopped, and
sat down on one of the seats ; a crowd of people was
quickly brought together by her loud moanings, and
she was very soon delivered of a still-born child. In
the bustle, the woman Oipt away, and the body of the
infant was taken to St. llridc's work-house.

MAwstow Roughiead, an Excise watch-
man, was charged by,the Inspector of the Custom.
house watchmen, with stealing a pint of oil nn the
Custom-house quay, on Saturday night. Informant ,
stated, that as he was going his rounds, he observed
three men around a cask, and, on approaching to as-
certain what they were doing, two of them ran off,
the other, the prisoner, he secured with a bladder in
his hand, containing a small quantity of oil, which
had been drawn from the ca ;k under which he was
standing. The prisoner was committed to take his
trial.

•GUILDIIALL.—EIiz.Romaine, an elderly woman, was
charged. by Isabella Davidson with robbing her lodg-
mgs. The prosecutrix stated that she had been ill in
health for nearly two years, on account of which she
could not go to service, but was obliged to take lodg-
ings ; and that during this period the prisoner used
to help her to wash her little articles of dress. Find-
ing that she was so far recovered as to be, in her own
opinion, capable of, taking a fresh place; she about
ten days ago went as servant to a person at Islington,
On Friday last she returned to her lodging (which
she had left in the prisoner's care, not wishing to give
it up till she found if she could stand service) and
discovered that several articles of apparel were gone,
and that her bed had been stripped of most of its
feathers. Upon search, several of the wicks were
found at a Pawnbroker's, which the old woman con-
fessed she had pawned, but with a view of redeeming
them. She was fully committed.
7. Smith, J. Nordin, and Mary Carpenter, were
brought up by Brand, the Marshalman, suspected of
being coiners. The prisoners were apprehended on
Sunday, at No. 8, Rose and Crown-court, Shoe-lane.
Vickary, one of the Worship-street officers,
stated, that he went with others to apprehend the pri-
seners, and that on knocking at a door of the first
Boor, Smith opened another, en which they told him
they had come with a search warrant ; Smith started
towards an open window, and made a motion as if
he had thrown something out, but witness could not
say whether he did or not ; he then, as well as the
other male prisoner, made some resistance, but they
were overpowered. In searching, witness found some
files, a piece of cork, used in the operation of coining,
eight copper blanks, fot sixpences, a chemical com-
position, for giving copper the appearance of silver,
and other articles used for the same parpose. Not-
den and the female prisoner, when the officers enter-
ed, were in a back room, with dominoes before them.
The woman described herself as being a mantua-
maker, and residing in a court in Holbi,rn, to which
place the officers went, but found nothing suspicious
-
there ; she told the Magistrates. that she was a mar- •
ried womai-1, and trot ked for the prisoners ; on being
asked where her husband was, she answered she did
' not know. There being nothing against her she was
discharged ; but the other two, one desctibiug him.
self as a plumber, and the other as a plumber's lx
bourer, were remanded.

Saturday, at Union Hall, six Israelites were brought
up for violently assaulting several persons, the night
before, at Cumberland Gardens. They were admit-
ted to bail, to answer the assault. Thomas Livermore
was brought up on the charge of beating, intent
t 7) murder, his wife. It appeared that the patties had
been married only four months ; they lived very hap-
pily together for some time, but the wile exhibiting
symptoms of advanced pregnancy too early, led u
suspicions of infidelity in the mind of her husband,
and which prompted him to beat her so dreadfully,
that she is hardly expected to live. He was sent to
the Surrey Assizes tor trial—Two coachmen, on the
Greenwich-road, were fined :E5 each, with costs, fur
carrying more than P.? outside passengers.
Yesterday, a man who has for some time lived ser-
vant with a gentleman, at Clapham, in the capacity of
gardener, was charged by his master with sealing
800 bunches of grapes. It appeared that the gentle-
man's suspicions were first awakened by finding that
his hot-houles, although maintained at the usual ex-
pence, had become all at once inadequate trithe sup-
ply of his tabre ; upon inquiry however he discovered
that, through the medium of a fruiterer in town, it
went to supply the tables of his neighbouts; this prac-
tice had continued so long, that not less than SOO fine
bunches of grapes had been taken away, and some of
them at a time when gripes were sold at one guinea
per pound. Remanded for another examination.
Yesterday J. lidl, a knife-grinder, in Crown-court,
Kingsland-road, was charged, at IV( rihip-street Of-
fice, with stabbing his wife, on Sunday night in the
head. and various parts of the body ; the unhappy
I woman was taken to the hospital without hopes of
recovery, and the prisoner to Clerkenwell pi ison.
Saturday a baker at Pentonvilla was fint d46.175.6d.
