of base coin, was yesterday examined at this office, charged by Mr.
Graham, a fruiterer in Covent Garden Market, with uttering t
counterfeit dollar, and several counterfeit half-crowns, at his shop.
The uttering was proved, and It was stated that she travelled with
a man with whom she cohabited, from whom she received oak
one piece of bad money, and when she had passed it she realised
to him and obtained another. Sbe and her accomplice had adopted
a system of uttering that almost bade defiance to detection, as abs
always took care to have good money about her to chew the bad
money if she was detected.—She was committed. •

HATTONGARDEN.
A gentleman applied for a warrant against one of these gentri,
from whose statement it appeared that the establishment of their
rival, the Omnibus, has not had the effect of increasing their stock
of civility.
The gentleman stated, that on Monday be got ounce of the Pad-
&upon stages at the Bank, and on alighting at Roston-square the
driver demanded one shilling and sixpence as his fare. He refused
to pay more than he had been accustomed to do, viz. one shilling ;
upon which the driver abused him to the most scurrilous manner,
called him a d—d blackguard, and seized him by the collar, pushed
him of the pavement into the road. His conduct collected a mob
of persons by whom applicant was jeered at, and told he wanted
to bilk the coachman. Next morning, as be was coming to town,
the fellow repeated his eamdset, and pointed him out to several
persons as a Mik.
The Magistrates granted a warrant.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A young man of respectable appearance, named Zunis, was yes-
terdny placed at the bar, before J. E. Conant, Esq. charged with
embezzlement, under the following circumstances :
It appears that the prisoner was in the service of Mr. Withal
Shirley, a victualler, residing at Stanweli, near Staines, and bad to
convey two entire bones, belonging to that gentians's, round the
country. About a month since he went out to collect some money
due to his employer, and on Friday week he sent bogie the hone
which he had taken with him, and a letter, dated from Kingston.
informing him that be was going to Croydon and Dorking. The
prosecutor thought this conduct very suspicions, and immediately
after he was informed that the prisoner was in London, and sent
°Dicers in pursuit of him, and after considerable trouble and ex..
pease be was apprehended at Banbury, in Oxfordshire, on Satur-
day, were he offered to sell a cottage which he owned, to make
up the sum which he was indebted to the prosecutor, which was
estimated at 371.

Two cases were brought forward, doe for embossing W. 104.
which be bad received from Mr. Murral, of Walton-arta-Thames,
and a small sum which be had received from Mr. &inky, of East
Musilsey.—He was fully commked for trial.

ANOTHER SPECVLATION.A company ban been
established for the Navigation of the Irish canals and rivers by
steam vessels, and It offers to bring coeds from Limerick, Clare,
and the very extreetitks of Ireland to Liverpool. It is also highly
probable that is a few months cattle will be conveyed by loco-
motive steam-engines to hiauchesfrr front Liveepool, and thin we
shad see live cattle brought, without say dillicuky or loss, in the
space of three or four days at the utmost, from the estrondties of
Ireland to the heart of Ragland, by the sole gamy of steam. This
rapid intercourse betwixt the two countries will make. in a few
years, the difference of a century in the improvement of the sinter
lobed.

At his Majesty's Palace, yesterday, a labourer named
Morgan Thomas, fell from a scaffolding 30 feet high,
and was so severely injured that his kite is despaired of.
He was carried to Westminster Hospital.
The town of Tonbridge and its vicinity have been
thrown into alarm, in consequence of a murder having
been committed upon an elderly female, who resides in
Tonbridge. The poor woman is about 55 years of age,
1 and resided in a small cottage near the turnpike, and
immediately opposite the Angel public-house. She let s
portion of her cottage to two navigators, who were em-
ployed with other men in deepening and widening the
Medway. These two men returned home on Saturday
night. One of them, being in an ill state of health, took
some medicine, and went to bed at an early hour, and
the other retired to rest a short time afterwards.
About four o'clock the following morning, the sick
man heard his fellow workman get up and go down
stairs, where he was engaged for some time. This
circumstance, however, did not make any impression
upon him, and he did not suppose that the man was en-
gaged in committing murder. In the morning, when
some of the neighbours entered the house, the door of
which they found open, they discovered the unfortunate
woman lying on the floor of her room quite dead. A sur-
geon was immediately sent for, and he discovered that
she had been suffocated by the hand of the'ruffian who
had grasped her throat. The monster who had committed
the murder remained in the town until the body was dis-
covered, when he made a hasty retreat, but was taken
soon afterwards at East Grinsteitd.
