UNION-H ALL.

A man, named Johnson was charged with breaking into the
house of i farmer near Beckenham, and stealing property of consi-
derablevalue, chiefly clothes and linen.
The evidence 'bore that the prissier, a few days ago, lodged
in Old-street-road, and in the course of the evening be told the cir-
cumstances of the robbery to a man named Astor, and requested
his adrice bow to dispose of the booty without risk. He described
the particulars, and also where it had been deposited, namely, in
field named Denyer-field, near Penge Common, where it was
buried near the road side. Astor, it would appear, had passed
himself on the prisoner as a fence (a receiver of stolen pods), and
it was ultimately arranged, that next day Johnson should bring tho
stolen property to town ; but as Johnson did not make appear-
ance, Aster went down to Beckenham, and gave Information of the
above particulars, and the prisoner, who lives bard by the house he
bad robbed, was immediately apprehended.
The MAGISTIIATt was inclined to suspect that Astor bad appeared
against Johnson, more, because
.he had been deceived, in his hopes
of sharing the plunder, than frosp his zeal for justice.
Mr. Lever, whose house had been rubbed, confirmed the evidence
of Astormith respect to his giving every information of the robbery.
As there was another individual concerned in the robbery, who
.is not yet in custody, Jutunon was only remanded.

committed under Lord Xlienborough's Act.
The prisoner, a remarkably stout man, and wba himself was

A Berlin paper says, u We now learn that the Con-
vention respecting the partition of the Duchies of Saxe
Gotha and Altenburg, was ratified at the end of Octo-

splendour to the house of the Dukes of Saxe Altenburg,
which has been without a head for 154 years, is expected

his entry into the City, which will be very magnificent."
London, England, 1826-11-24

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday four men, named Rio/sant Higgins, Paul Pearce, lob*
Bailey, and Edward morry, were brought before Sir R. Status,
charged with having been concerned in the murder of Wm. Morgan,
a quartermaster of the Preventive Service, on Dever-beach, on the
night of the 30th of July. They were also charged with several
offences agaiast the Reversue Laws, independently of the murder

in question.
It will be recollect* that about a month ago eight men *ere
committed from this office on the same charges, principally upon the
testimony of an accomplice named Horne. The approver had given
in the names of others as being concerned, and upon his informa-
tion Smith, a principal officer, went into Kent on Monday se'onight,
and apprehended the four men alsovenamed, with the assibtance of
the Preventive Service men.
Mr. Horace Twin, as Counsel, and Mr. Jones, as Solicitor for
the Admiralty, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Langham at-
tended for the prisoners.
Previous to the examination being gone into, Bantry humbly beg-
ged to be admitted an evidence for the Crown; and after some con-
sideration, his request was complied with.
The case of the murder of Morgan was first gone into, and Hig-
gins and. Pearce were sworn to, as being present with arms upon
that occasion. Home, the accomplice, gave precisely the same cvi.
deuce as upon the former occasion, and which we gave at great '
length at the time.
Bantry gave evidence in corroboration, and the testimony of
each tallied almost exactly.
The Prevendve Service men who were present on the occasion
repeated their former statements.
A charge applying to all the three prisoners was next gone into,
namely, for assembling with arms at Hytbe, on the night of the 6th
of August, to assist in the running of contraband goods.
The approvers swore to the three prisontrs as being present on
That night, when a cargo of tubs of spirits was tun, end fire arms
were used.
The prisoners were fully committed foe trial at the next Maid-
stone Assiaes.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Two countrymen were brought up, charged with stealing seven
sheep. One of the prisoners was met by the patrol, at two o'clock
in the morning, coming from Barnes Common. He said they got
the sheep at Windsor, and that they belonged to a Mr. Mills,
Vauxhall-bridge.
Mr. Mills denied that he knew any thing about them.
The prisoner, Ant met with the sheep, said, he had left his
brother, who bad been driving the sheep with him at the Castle,
in Brentford. One of the prisoners afterwards confessed they had
found the sheep near Brentford-bridge, on the road-side.
They were remanded, and ordered to be kept apart until some
one came forward to own the property.

LAMBETH-STREET.

A Mrs. Pasfotd, of Golden-street, Brick-lane' was brought to
the Office for rather a curious offence—selling the body of her hus-
band, who died after a lingering illness, a few days ago. An im-
mense mob had, it appears, collected round the woman's door, and
after breaking her windows, were proceeding to inflict summary
vengeance on her for the above alleged Offence; when the officers
interposed for her protection, and brought her to the Office.
Airs. Pasford deckled, that the body was taken away without
her knowledge, and against her consent.
Some other evidence was examined, which did not exactly tally
with hen; but as the offence did not seem to the Magistrate cog-
nizable, he sent Mrs. Pasford about her business. A great number
of people were outside of the Office, whose yelb of vengeance were
very loud and threatening; but the supposed delinquent, by the
favour of a hackney coach, was safely conveyed through the midst
of them.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT OLDHAM.

Tuesday night, about a quarter before ten o'clock, a
fire was ob3er•ed in the fourth story of the I rge mill
belonging to Messrs. Cnssons, Bradley, and Wilde, at
Oldham. How, or by what means this destructive fire
originated, has not been ascertained; but from' the
statement of the manager of the male department, who
went through every room between eight and nine
o'clock, and who left his lanthorn as usual on the stair-
case, it appeared at that time to have been perfectly safe,
and free from smell of fire.

The fire was first discovered in the carding-room; and
so rapidly did it communicate from engine to engine,
that notwithstanding a plentiful supply of water, all
hopes of arresting its progress was soon abandoned, and
the whole of that extensive building, with all its valuable
machinery, soon fell a prey to the flames. We are happy
to add, that no lives were lost, and that the proprietors
were insured to the amount of 26,0001. though it is
supposed the property destroyed will amount to 30,0001.
Four hundred persons, we are sorry to hear, will be
thrown out of employment by this catastrophe. Mr.
Custons had nearly fallen a victim to his endeavours to
extinguish the fire. His perilous situation attracting
the notice of some of the workmen, he was carried
away dreadfully scorched, and is now confined to his
bed.—Manchester Herald.

BURNT.—On Tuesday night the farmhouse occu(ied
by Alexander Bell, Ground Officer on the Inverness.
shire estate, Badinoch, was burnt to the ground, and
the whole of the inmates, consist rig of his wife and seven
children and a tailor lad from a neighbouring parish,
were burnt to ashes. It is supposed that the tire origi-
nated from a spark from the tut f in the open fire place;
and owing to the combustible materials of the dwelling
the fire spread rapidly, while the unhappy family were
asleep, and that when they were awoke half suffocated
and stupified by the smoke, they were unable to escape
from the flames. The unfortunate man himself was from
home procuring meal for his family and neighbours.

DOVER, AUGUST n.

'ne Bay of Dover, so admirably formed for the highly
popular national amuiemeni of Regattas,, will exhibit
on Thursday the 7th of September next, a display of
skill in boat racing and saling, particularly between
two rival boats' crews of Dever and Folkestone, and the
interest this must excite will be much indeased, should
a ch illenge which has bern sent to the boatmen at Deal
be accepted.
The display of vessels arrd boats on this cccasion,
the whole within view of every- past of the heights and
shore, will, no doubt, riot only be gratifying to the spec.
tators, but also call for the admiration of professional
naval characters, and the pursuers of yachts' sailing,
many of whom it is hoped will take a cruize to Dover,
to witness this interesting scene. The inhabitants anti-
cipate a grand gala day, and the arrival of numerous
visitors, both afloat and on shore, may be expected,
ihdeed, there is every reason to suppose that the town
w 11 be well filled.
The Regatta is under the direction of the Right Hon.
the rail of Liverpool, as Patron, and R. H. Jenkin-
son, Esq. as Vice-l'atron ; and a Committee, consisting
of the Mayor of Dover, Admiral Winthrop, Admiral
Bazely, Capt. Edward Boxer, R.N. Cap. W. Boxer.lt.N.
and John Ward, Eq. Honorary Member of the Royal
Yacht Club.
Subscriptions towards the races have been received,
to the amount of 1301. and much more may be expected,
as the public seem to feel, that at the same time they
are contributing to a source of amusement, they are also
rewarding and encouraging a very meritorious class of
seamen, whose readiness to render assistance at all times
to vessels in distress, at the imminent risk of their own
lives and property, is so well known, and who are at
present, together with their large families,suffering severe
privations, from the want of sufficient employment.

UNION HALL.

James Barnett, the owner and driver of a horse and cart, ap-
peared to answer an information charging him with conveying con-
traband silks, to a large amount, in his cart.
Samuel Money, the Custom-house Officer who made the seizure,
stated that he stopped the defendant a few days ago driving a cart
along the Borough, in which was a case similar to those in which
eggs are usually packed. lie asked what it contained, and the de-
fendant said" liggs, to be sure," and added that he was taking them
into the city for a Frenchman, who bad just come over from Dieppe
with a cargo, whom he was to meet at the foot of London Bridge:
The informant not crediting thesstory, jumped into the cart, de-
siring to see the owner of the eggs. Having waked a considerable
time at the appointed place, and no foreigner making his appearance
to claim the case, 51orrey proceeded to open it, and instead of eggs
discovered that it contained 1,828 ells of foreign silk, 48 silk gauze
shawls, and several pieces of Bandana handkerchiefs, the value of
the whole amounting to upwards of 5001. The seizing Officer con-
veyed the silks to the Custom-house, and deposited them in the
King's warehouse. The horse and cart were subsequently taken to
the green-yard, . . .

The defendant baying persisted in the same story as to his igno•
rance of the description of property tbe case contained, before it
was opened by the Officers, the Magistrates condemned the horse
and cart, and ordered them to be sold. _ _ _

A drover, named Block, was charged by a patrol with cruelty to
a lamb that he was driving along the street.
The complainant stated, that on the preceding day h. observed
the defendant beating a lamb is a most unmerciful manner, and
when he was expostulated with for his barbarity, he became ex-
tremely insolent, and ultimately assaulted the patrol.
The defendant was fined 20s. and held to ball for the assault.

LAMBETH-STREET.

T. linger, charged with forging a check in the name of W. Cotton,
Esq. of Layton, iu the service of whose brother, Mr. B, Cotton, be
bad formerly lived, was re-examined and fully committed.—The
testimony being to the same effect as was produced on his former
examination, and which we then detailed, renders it unnecessary to
recapitulate it. Previous to his leaving the bar, kis Solicitor re-
quested that a portion of the money, ST sovereigns, which bad been
found upon him, should be restored to him, to defray the eapences
of his defence, and the Magistrate was about giving an order that so
much as exceeded the amount of Mr. Linsell's check should be
given him, when Mr. Gates interposed, and observed that there was
another charge against him for obtaining 941. on a forged check
from the bank of Sir Wm. Curtis and Co. 'This, however, stands
over, abiding the result of the trial.

WEYNIOUTII, Avctsr 21.

The binh.day of his Royal Highness the Duke of York was eels.
bated here by a Royal Salute fired by the cutters in the Road, asul,
the usual testimonies of loyalty and respect—previous to which there
was a sailing match between the Admiralty Cruisers, Tartar, Lieut.
bisect ; Fancy, Lieut. Spark ; Sylvia, Lieut. Welch ; and Nimble,
Lieut. Loney. The Tartar had decidedly the advantage un all
points; the contest between the other three was admirable, each
having a slight superiority on some particular point of sailing....
There was a fresh breeze, and the vessels ran about fury miles. The
sailing afforded a rich treat to the admirers of nautical skill. and was
highly gratifying to the visitors and the multitude assembled ea
the Esplanade.
. _ _

The town continues full of genteel company. Among the latest
arrivals are—Lord Seymour. Mr. and Mrs. IL Williams and family,
M.P. Colonel and Mrs. Melville Browne, Colonel H. Vyst,, Rev.
Mr. and him Urquhart, Rev. Mr. Grassest, Rev. Mr. Hampden,
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, &c. &c.

Saturday Colonel and Mrs. Fleming, M.P. arrived here in their
elegant yacht, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Metcalfe Wardle, and
this morning sailed again for the island of Guernsey.

FATAL EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING AT
SCARBOROUGH.
!ROM THR YORK COURANT, AUGUST 22.

Sunday night, York was visited by a long-continued
succession of flashes of lightning, but we are glad to
remark that no serious accident occurred here. Scar-
borough, however, was visited the same night by ciiie
of the most tremendous storms of thunder and light-
ning ever remembered there. The rapid succession
of the vivid flan* immediately after the loud and tre-
mendous peals of thunder, struck every heart with
awe, and made pale the most firm and lively counte-
nance. At length the heavens seemed to open, and in
the immensity of flame, which enveloped every indivi-
dual and every object in the place, the commission of
Death assumed its terrors, and the day of general disso-
lution seemed at hand. The storm, however, passed over,
but amongst many less important effects, it was 'lcon
learnt that the lightning had struck five individuals to
the ground, who were sitting together in a priiite room;
they were all dreadfully affected with the stoke. Me-
dical assistance was instantly sent for ; one of them, a
respectable female, aged 25, the daughter of Mr. Bar-
ker, of York, clerk at the Church of St. Maurice, and
one of the choristers at the Minster, was so seriously
affected that she died soon after, and her disconiso!are
relatives and friends were yesterday tent for. Site had
been advised to go to Scarborough for the ben, tit of her
health, having had a rheumatic fevers The others
were in a dreadful state, but we have not yet heard
the final result. Scarborough being crowded with com-
pany at present, this melancholy occurrence has struck
a damp over every countenance, and is the subject of
general conversation.

ELEVEN YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE:

. •
Among the evil ddersbrought before Mr. Alderman Wannams,
yesterday morning, at Guildhall, was one Mrs. Jane &with a Ma-
tron on the wrong tidi of forty, rather dumpy, and Very brown.—
Sbe had been handed over to the custody of the watch by Mr. Was.
Hewitt, a tall and comely, though rather elderly, purveyor of beef
and mdttoa to•the lieges in and about Crown-court, Dorset•street,
Salisbury-square; and he now appeared In the witness box to show
cause why heead banded her over as aforesaid.
" This Lady at the bar," said be, w came to my house at three
o'clock this morning, and disturbed a Lady in tabour, and what's
more, she called me everything—but a pial•man) so j gave her hi
charge to the watch, and here she is." And thet; be stopped, for
be was a man of few words.

A long connubial colloquy was cut short by the Alderman asking
him bow lung be and his wife had been living apart?
" Till this blessed morning at three o'clock," replied he," I have
never seen her these eleven years past."
" Why then you have had a long repose," said the Alderman,
" and ought to consider yourself a very happy man. One visit from
your wife in eleven years is surely not much."
The Lady now said that she didn't want to go near him at all, if
he would allow her a maintenance. "He can keep a*dher lady,"
said she," and afford to have children, and I'll make hint keep me,
or I'll know what it sticks at I"

The other lady, it appeared, was the "lady in labour," of whom
the unfortunate butcher had spoken in opening his case; and the
Alderman dismissed the ease, upon the lady at the bar promising
not to go near her husband's house again, but to seek redress by ap-
plying to the Palish Officers, who would compel him to allow her
a reasonable maintenance.
