Yesterday, Charlotte Thorn, aged 19, was put to

ously uttering two forged notes for H. each. This pri-
mmest. gave her address in the one instance to 17,
Great Wild-street, there being two numbers the same,
bat the artful trick completely failed, as the respective
housekeepers and others clearly proved that she bad
never lived at either house. Gouty—Death.
John Lew was indicted for having in his possession
no less than 61 forged notes.
The prisoner, in his defence, (a written one) said,

subsequently taken into custody in the City-road, and
her person being recognised committed to prison.
Crib?—Desth.
The prisoner here begged for some articles which
the officer had in his possession.
The Learned JuJge informed her she had no pro-
perty, as by her conviction it became the property of
the Crown. His Lordship observed be could make no
order, as they must be given to the Sheriff.
?hi officer was about to give the articles to Mr.
It Waldman, when that gentleman humanely or-
defied them to be returned to the prisoner.
On inquiry it was discovered that the prisoner was
supposed wife of Thomas Clare, who bad been
convicted of a similar offence, and Mr. Justice Bay-
ley acquainted the Jnry of the circumstance ; who,
considering her to be acting under his influence, re-
conimended the prisoner to mercy.

two pair of shoes were found in a chair, acid a quantity
of picklock keys and a crow bar up the chimney.
Several persons were called in behalf of the pri-
soners, one of whom, a publican, snore positively to
seeing them buy shoes of a person at his house. The

fir. BELSONI.—A Medal has been strnek by the
pity of Padua, in honour of the traveller Belzoni, who

headed statues of granite, part of the fruits of his en-
aerprising and successful researches ; they have been
placed in the great saloon of the Palezza dells Jos-

tion which their fellow citizen has so justly obtained,
