marched up to the altar, whistling all the dine. His strange conduct
immediately excited the attention of the congregation, and an at-
tempt was made to get him out, but be immediately sprung upon
the altar, and shouldering the cross which surmounted it, he at-.
tempted to escape oUt of the Chapel with It, but he was stopped
and given into the custody of an dicer. In his band was a large
parcel, on which were written in legible characters these words:—
" 21skenetice.—Thou shalt have no other Gods but rase;' thou shalt
not bow thyself to any graven image, nee the likeness of any In
Heaven or on earth, or the waters under theeartb, for I the Lord
thy Goa, am a jealous Goo, and visit the sins of the fathers unto
the third and fourth ganeration in them that hate me, and show
mere unto thousands unto them that love me, and keep my cam-

annealed by Goo before the birth of Christ, which are ten

DARING ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBSERY AND
Rescue.— About eight o'clock on Friday eiening, the
Uxbridge waggon stopped at the Swan, at Bayswater,
a few minutes, for the purpose of watering the horses;
at the time there were nine persons in the tap-room.—
The waggon then left to proceed to town, when, on
rising the hill, three fellows made their appearance, who
knocked the waggoner down and threw him into the
ditch. The thieves then got into the waggon, for the
purpoce of plunder, but were observed by three per-
sons, who succeeded in taking them into custody ;'but
before they could secure their prisoners, the remaining
six, whet had lain in ambush, came up with a crow-bar,
and knocked down the men who had the thieves in-005•

lain: ran across the fields, leaving behind them a crow-

the purpose of delivering a parcel from the back part
of the coach, and gave the reins to a boy that sat on
the box to hold for him. While delivering the parcel
to the person who stood near the after wheel of the
coach, the boy cracked the whip, and the horses set otf
at the top of their speed. Several attempts were 'wide
to stop them, but in vain ; they passed Ewell Church,
and tore away about twelve yards of strong palling,
when the wheels mounting a small eminence the coach
was overturned, and the whole of the passengers were
in an instant thrown from the roof. Some of them were
in a state of insensibility, :hewing no symptoms of tile.

tered her breast and neck ; she was dreadfully mutilated,
none of her features being distinguishable ; she lingered
until yesterday, when she expii ed in the greatest agony.

itely for London. Four of the sufferers were put to
Serf at the King's Head, where they now lie in a very
