Estratt of a letter front Mr. Edw. litimphrevs, master
of the New Harmony, from London, dated Cadiz, June
2.—" About half•past ten last night, a gang of robbers'
or pirates, about 15 in number, well armed, carte on
board, and immediately forced the watch on deck down
the forecastle, and secured the hatch. About 6 or 7 of them
malted down into the cabin, called for a light, when 3
or 4 of them presented daggers, and other weapons, to
my hreast,—t hen detnanded my money, and said they
would kill me. I gave them about II or 124 chiefly so-
vereigns, when they made me a prisoner in my state
room, and placed an armed centinel in the cabin; some
of them then went into the hold, and plundered near-
ly the whole contenla of 5 large cases of cotton yarn,
and 2diags of Spanish wodl, and took away a hsrometer;
they also plundered a quantity of the vessel's stores;
took my watch, likewise the mate's, and most of my
clothes and linen."

MICRIORANDL:3I—The Nest Harmony arrived in the ri-
ver Isth inst. front Cadiz.
The Gen. Kier, Manes, from Havanna to Cadiz, was
driven onshore the 27th ult. to the Eastward of C..pe St.
Nary's. and it was based the vessel and most of the cargo

At the Norwich Sessions on Tuesday, Joseph Nichols
Collins and Thomas Crowe were indicted for stealioj
the body of Thomas Braudell, from Lahenhaul church-
yard.

Charles Cooper, Esq. for-the prosecntion, addressed
the Jury in a very feeling manner on the offence with
which the pr:soners stood charged.
Mr. William Blogg, the first witness called, stated that
he was book-keeper to the Telegraph Day Coach ; at
the office of that coach, boxes packed* up in canvas had
from time to time, between Dec. INN, and Feb. 1e23,
been booked f.r Lim Ion; they were of different weights,
from 150 to 2001 b.; In consequence of some informa-
tion received from London, Mr. IJlogg gave directions
to the porter, John Tee, that on another box being
brought similar to the former ones, he should stop the
person who brought it; on the 15th of Feb. another box
was brought, and the person bringing it nas stopped ;
he was questioned as to whom it came from, and his
answ:rs not being *satisfactory lie was taken before J.
Browne, Esq. the. Magistrate, who directed the box to
be opened. The direction on the box was J. Roberts,
Esq. London, to he left at the Flower Pot, Ilishopsgate
Street, till called for. The box was opened in the coach
office, and contained a fresh human body ; it was folded
up in a very short comps-s, not more than a yerd bug ;
and fitted very dolle into the box ; the body was nsked-4
it was afterwards removed with the box to the gaol.
The body baying been proved to be stolen from tte
grave, and evidence adduced to implicate the prisoner in
tile offence.

Mr. Preston, afterwards, in a long and labour,' ad-,
dress to the Jury on behalf of the prison-rs showed the
advantage and immense importance it was to science that
subjects should be had for anatomizine, by which the
structure of the human frame might be better under-
stood, and he commented at great length on the evi-
dence, endeavouring to prove it warn contradictory ; after
which, the Learned Steward addressed the Jury, who,
after a short deliheratbn, declared the prisoners both
guilty, and each of them was sentenced by the Court to
pay a fine of 501. to the King, and he imprisoned in the
gaol of this city for 3 calendar months.

CONSIDERABLE ROBBERY, AND CURIOUS

Deems Privet Orrice.—On Tuesday last, a gentle.
nisi) of the name of Swanzy, who holds a situation in
the Civil Department on the lield Coast of Africa, and
who was on leave of absence, and had come to this coun-
try.for the recovery of his health, arrived at Kingstown,
liunleary, by the St. George rteam packet froa Liver-
lool. On his landing, his luggage was put into the
uggage cart for Dublin, but between Dunleary and
'Upsilon's hotel, some prgfersos contrived to extract frow
the cart, a brews mounted rose-wood writing-desk of
exquisite menufieture. In the desk was a private
drawer, containing a Bank of England note of the value
-of 3001., aWI Bank note, three gold sovereigns, and
ionic African silver coins, also two gold chains, a gold
seal, two Bills of Exchange on the Treasury, for the
amount of 921. each, two 'flora for ,301. each, another
for 201. &c. &rt. Information of the shove robbiry hay-
ing breu given at the Head Office of Police, Mr. Farrell,
Chief Peace Officer, directed a prompt ,earch in quest of
the property mid the thief; in the interim, a mot wht)
gave his name as Thomas Murphy, offered a rose-wood
writing-desk in pawn, at the office of Mr. Smith, is
Capel-street, and obtained fourteen shillings on it ; the
fellow came back in about half an hour, and asked Mr.
Smith to let him have five shillings more on it. and
offered, at the same time, to sell it to him.—This
awakened Mr. Smith's suspicion, and he told him to
call hack to him, and he would give him an answer. On
the fellow going away, Mr. Smith examined the writing-
desk Minutely, and having ascertained, by shaking. it,
that it contained something, discovered the private
drawer in which the grea er part of the property, which
hal escaped the search of the thief, Still was. The fel-
low returned at the appointed time, and was taken into
custody by Mr. Farrell, of the Head Office of Police,
who had been apprised of the circumstance. He has
been folly cotmnittcd to Newgate to stand his trial at
the next Commission. This lad sae tried at . the late
amissleic and acquitted,- for horse-stealing, .He
