Bott•rettrr.—Tba two men iilsded to in oar,
tegoolot on Saterday,, Who went to Deddington on
Twedsy night to the house of Poulton, from Woo{.,
Vercot, slept there, end gate Mr. Poulton informs
tiqn,.that they were in pursuit of Charles Ilstssey.2.l
Their description of his person was the cause of. Its
being fresh in the recollection of Mr. Poniton when
Charles Homey passed his house, and caused him to
puree* and take him in Deddington, on his retorts
from the farm-yard, the men from Woolvercot, having:
told Mr. Poulton they had no doubt of Charles
Hassey being in that cart of the country, as be had
twee seen but a few miles off, as late as Suudoy or
Monday . night. It was owing, indeed!, to• oust of
the men at Woolvercot that Charles Hassey was
originally suspected to be the man advertised.—
Hussey, there is no doubt, was wandering about
from place to place, without having any object in
view. •
.On the eminent
.Saturday se'nnight Hussey at. I
"rived at Woolvercot; a village but a short distance
from ()afoul, where he had been. which was sacer.
tained by his bill at an inn being found upon him.—
lie went into a public-house at Woolvercot, which is
'kept by one of thp men who went to Deddington in
pursuit of him, and gave the information respecting
him to Mr. Poulton. At that public-house he asked
if be could be accommodated with a bad, Which the
landlord lamented he could not do. Hussey a pvear.
ed much disappointed, saying he wished to remain in
the village during the next day; a butcher of that
place, who happened to be present at the time of the
conversation, voluntarily offered to accommodate
1101%7 with a bed at his house, whit., he accepted
and slept there on that night. At that time the land.
land of the public-house, and the butcher, suspected
Horsey to he e Collegian from Orford, he having a
very respectable appearance. lie returned to the
public-house to breakfast on the Sunday morning,
and remained there during that day ; in the course
of it he took nut of his pocket a gold ring, which
the landlord by chance happened to look at, and oh.
served the inscription on it " To the memory of sit
children." In the infesting Ilus4ey presented a 11.1
Bank-note to the landlord to pay the amount of his
bill, which the landlord declined taking, having ob.,
served several of his acts and his conversation to he,
mysterious. Hussey then offered to sell him a pair
of ear-rings, which the landlord declined purchasing.
Hussey then proposes: leaving the ear-rings as a
security for the payment of the amount of his bill, till
became there on the Wednesday.fullowing, he being
going to Oxford, which the landlord agreed to, and
kiussey left the house, saying he was going to Ox-
ford. In a short time aferwards a neighbour of the
publican going into his house, observed that he had
had been out of the village, and had just returned, and
that he had met a respectable looking man walking,
dressed in blsck, and on describing his person, the
landlord had no doubt that it was the same man who
had just left his house. In conversation with his
neighbour respecting him, he learnt that instead of
his being gone towards Oxford, he was walking the
contrary way. It then occurred to him, that he was
liussey, who had been advertised to be apprehended
as the murderer and robber of Mr. Bird, and hie
housekeeper, at Greenwich. Ile referred to a news-
paper in which the advertisement appeared for his ap-
prehension, where he found the description exactly
corresponded with the man who had been at his
house ; he then started in pursuit of him, a.c-
companied by a neighbour of the name of Clarke.—
They went in various direction', but without success,
and returned to Woolvercot, when Mr. Clarke de-
clined accompanying him any more. The landlord
Mien promised the lath-render to go /shit him. They
beard of a man, answering the description of Hussey,
baying slept on the top of a bean rick, and the laud-
lord had no doubt of his being the man who had
been at his house, but he could gain no more direct
information respecting him. From the information
he bad received, he had a suspicion that Hussey was
gone to Banbury, anti on their way to that town
they stopped at the house of Mr. Poulton, at Dad.
dington, as already mentioned. 011 their return
from Banbury, they called at Mr. Poulton's house at
Deddiugtun ; at that time Mr. Poulton had got
ilussey in custody, and the landlord from Woolver-
cot identified Hussey as the man who hail been at
his house on Saturday night and Sunday, and who
he and the lath-render were in pursuit of ; these men
were present when Hussey was searched at Ded-
dington, anti the gold ring with the inscription " To
the memory of six childieu"—not being found on
him, which the landlord of the public-house at
"Woolvercot had seen him take out of his pocket
when he was at his house, he enquired of, Hussey
what he had done with it, to which he replied he
had sold it ; but on his being questioned and cross-
esamined by Mr. Churchill, attorney of Deddington,
be acknowledged that his statement of having sold
it was false, and •he had thrown it down the
•privy at the King's Arms Tap, where it was found.
The ear.rings which Hussei left with the landlOrd
of the public-house at Woo vercot, as a security for
.the eulogist of his bill, and which I.e promised to
redeem on his return from Oxford last Wednesday
•to Woolvercot, are strongly suspected to be the
property of the murdered Mary Simmons.

However Fortune may he arraigned for her fickle-
ness, ww think to Bisu she has been most constant ;
his sales in former bitteries are convincing proofs of
this, to which it would seem she is \bout to superadd
some still more steady marks of her attachment :—on
the first day of the present Lottery he sold more than
a third of all the Capitals that were then drawn, and
upon the second day nearly half, amongst which was
the only Prise of 130,000 then drawn. Thursday
next will be the last day, when the remaining 37 Ca-
pitals must come forth, amongst which are Two of
230,000. In a former Lottery thin contained Three
Prises of 130,000, it will be remembered that Bra
sold them all, and that then the first was drawn (as
now) epos the second day.
ibersday night some villains broke into the
elleighter-hosse of Mr. William Lindus, butcher, of
22, South Crescent Mews, cut up the carcase of a
balleek, sad stole about 20 storm of beef) with which
ably got off oodiscoTered.
