ROBBERY ON THE THAMES.
James Doakley aged 36, and George Armstrong, aged
36, were indicted (not capitally) for stealing four sacks,l
and two quarters of oats. the property of Mr. Samuel
Knight. On the night of the 18th of June, the propert►
mentioned in the indictment was stolen from a punt, be-
longing to the prosecutor Mr. Knight, a corn-merchant,
which lay at his wharf; information of the robbery was
given to the officers of Police, who broke into the house of
Dunkley, where Armstrong and Dnnkley were found, with
the sacks and some corn, answering in quantity and qua.

lity to that which was stolen from the prosecutor ; the pri-
soners were also seen near the premises of the prosecutor
on the night of the robbery, and the sacks found in the
Eris mers possession, had the name of" Samuel Knight"
on them in full length.
The Jury having made up tLeir minds, informed the
Common Serjeant, that it was unnecessary for him to
sum up the evidence.—Grilty.
The prisoners, who resided at Rotherithe, having
been known by the Police for the last ten years, as com-
mon thieves on the River Thames, the Common Serjeant
ordered them up for judgment, and immediately on the
verdict being pronounced, sentenced than to seven years
transportation deyond the seas.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Michael Goren, aged S years was indicted for steal-
ing on the highway, a silver watch, the property of Ro-
bert Lawson. The prosecutor, who is a sailor, it ap-
peared, had sailed for the South seas, and the prisoner
was creinitted. The prosecutor's recognizance, were
nut estreated into the exchequer, as it appeared that he
was compelled to go on the voyage, or otherwise would
have lost his situation, and had not gone away for the
purpose of defeating the ends of justice.
FELONY.

Joseph Dares, an interesting lad 13 Tears of age, was
indicted for robbing his master, Mr. Jacob French, jew-
eller, of Clerkenwell, of 22 gold rings value upwards of
51. The fact charged was clearly made out. He re-
ceived a good character. The Jury found him Guilty.
The Couatox-SERJEssiv sentenced him to be whipped
in (hot, and to be imprisoned in the Hosse of Correction
for six months, and kept from prisoners of bad propensi-
ties. The prisoner, who is quite a child, went froth the
bar laughing. Every one in Court was shocked at his
hardihood.

In the harbour of Bordeaux, on the 17th instant, at
four o'clock, P. w. a fire broke out in the Russian ship
Enigheid, of 350 tons, from Riga, laden with timber ;
the tire comnsunicated to the brig Eliza of that port
(Bordeaux.) which was moored at a short distance. All
the vessels in the harbour were for some time in great
danger, but were fortunately preserved owing to the
zeal and courage of the sailors, animated by the Pre-
fect; they also succeeded iu saving the Eliza, which
has, however, received considerable damage. The
Russian ship and its cargo, valued at upwards of
150,090 francs, were totally destroyed.—(.l/onlowo
On Monday evening (the 23d instant) the Royal
Mail Coach commenced starting from Dover at nine
o'clock instead of seven as heretofore. This carriage
will in future travel at a quicker pace than it has been
accustomed to, as we understand the Contractors en•
gage to convey the Mail from London to Dover in ten
hours ; from whence the bags for the Continent are to
be forwarded to Calais by steam packets, and it is cal-
culated that a communication will thus he effected be-
tween London and Calais in little more than It hours.

On the day of his 31ajest's Coronation, Moses Sa-
muel, Esq. of RAI-street, presented to the Library of
the Atheneum, a manuscript Pentateuch, or Sacred
Lam of the Jens. This singular curiosity is of veey
great value, and beautifully written on a roll of flee
vellum, four inches wide, and upwards of forty-five'
feet long; it is attached at each end to an ivory roller,
and the whole is enclosed in a splendid case of crimson
velvet. A special u►eetinsr of the Committee was
summoned for the purpose of receiving this valuable
present, and an Ark was ordered to be prepared for
its pr lion under Mr. Samuel's direction. Rich
as this Library has always been in literary treasures,
it is now indebted to the generosity of Mr. Samuel for
its greatest rarity.—( Liverpool Currier.)
The splendid melo-drama of Napoleon Bonaparte's
Coronation, now performing at the Royal Coburg
Theatre, is a chef tr(ritere in point of splendour and
incident. It portrays the great genius of that de-
paricd hero in its various stages. The performance of
Henry Kemble, as Napoleon, is a master-piece. The
torte tremble we cannot sufficient'y praise, and we
have no doubt the piece will amply repay the pm
prieto7s for their liberal expenditure in producing Y 1
with so much magnificence.
EDINSURGII. JULY 23.—0 n Thursday an unpreee-
dented circumstance took place from the discharge of,
one of the last guns in the Castle, the wadding from
which set fire to the grass at the font of the rock,
which from the long continuance of dry weather,
burnt like tinder. The fire at one time was of consi-
derable breadth, and burst with great fury to the top
of the rock, occasioning the removal of some of the
banners on the outer wall. The Commander and his
Staff immediately set off in full gallop; and on their
way to the Castle ordered out engines from the depot
at the Castle-hill. They then proceeded to the Cattle,
when one of the garrison engines was also ordered
out, and played over the ramparts until the flames were
completely eltiaguiebeel.
