OUILDHA LL•••••A PRETENDED COUNTRY CARRIER.—,1
fellow, who gave his name James Ilirterell, whose dress
and general appearance corresponded very well with the
character, he was enactino—natnely, that of the Willem
more Hill carrier, was brought op yesterday before tie
Sitting Magistrate, Mr. ALL elagnay, charged on stupid*
with baying obtained goods from several tradesmen under
fraudulent pretences.
Mr. Udell, a tradesman at IVinchrster Hill, Edmonton;
having discovered that goods bad been delivered by
several tradesmen in London to a person in the garb of
a carrier, in conseclitence of written orders pnrportiog to •
come front him, thought it nece,sary to caution all the
persons with whom he regularly dealt in London, in mire
to pot them on their guard against similar impositions;
and amongst others, Messrs. Theobald and Co, hosiery
Skinner Street, Snow hill. The necessity for this cautioe
was soon apparent, for Yesterday morning the prisoner
rafted at Messrs. Tneoliald's, and presented a nute, per.
potting to be from Mr. Udall. desiring them to sent; el
the bearer a dozen of full sized wln'e lambs' wool has ,
and a dozen of drab ditto, and thet he sitettld be in tare'
on Monday, and settle fur them. This, or course, led to
the detection of the prisoner, alio, after a hoed attempt t
run otf, was secured and brought to this (:rice. its pt
property had, in this instance, hen obt tined, no timbre
proceedings could be hail upon this case ; but a Mr. Noble
from the house of Messrs. D.weon and Newman, Fenchurce
Street, attended, and produeed a tote of a similar do.
scription, purporting to be siened by Mr. Udall, eve
which, goods to the anoont of 31. )Js. hail been obtained
from their house, and upon comparison of the note brought
to Messrs. Theob,lu's by the prisoner, and that produced
by Mr. Noble, it was evident they were both the SM.
band writing, and were both declared by Mr. Udall, oho
was ;regent, nut to have been writ'en or authorised by
him ; indeed, he had, he said, no knowledge whatever of
the prisoner. In this latter case the vritience was inroa-
pletc, as Mr. Noble bad not himself delivered the goods
to the pretended errand cart man, and could not, therefore.
identify the prisoner as the person who received them. h
order, therefore, to give time for the attendance of Via
proper witness, as well as to afford opportunity to other
tradesmen who had been defrauded in a similar way, te
prefer their charges, if the person of the prisoeer shelf
be identilied,he was remanded for further examinatitn ti I
Monday next.

SINGULAR DISCoVERT or SrOLEN Peoria rir.---04
Tuesday afternoon, a singnlar circumstance too pl ice is
Charles Street, Sr. James's Squ ire., a high excited conajder-
able attention to numerous perso .s. It appears that A
number of yours.: boys, armed with long poles having pite't
at thesentl, an 1 others sills tongs, &::., wore übsers
busily engaged at the iron gratings in Charles Street, as'
b.ingstig up from thence sevee4l valuable artielis ts,
jeaellery. 'fbis singularity caused many individnalOn
inquire into the matter, when they were Wormed that;
qoantity of stolen property had bees deposited there, it is
supposed by some thieves, who afiet committing a robbery
having been closely pursued, had thrown the artiales jaw
the grating that tuns into the commis sewer. The lads
appeared very successful on the occasion, and in consequence
of many valuable stones being offered for sale, inforsuatias
of the circumstance was communicated to Mr. Thornto,
a jeweller, in Dean Street, Soh , whose premises Lai
recently been broken into and rubbed of a vast quantity ai
jewellery. That gentleman consequently, in company wit!
-Valentine, an officer, instantly repaired to the spot, an I to
his utter 'uprise and astonishment discovered that part aiZ
the stolen property belonged to him. They were, however, j
inconsiderable to the loss he had sustained, and were ouly 41
few amethysts. Several valuable stones were also foaad,
but bring broken, made them cotnplctely useless. It mg
said that several topazes, brilliant rings, &c., had beet
found, is hich Mr. Thornton, ho.vever, WAS not so fortanas
as to secure. Daring the last fortnight several daris4
robberies and burglaries have been committed at the rest
end of the town, by gangs of depredators; and althoagl
large rewards Lave been offered for the recovery of tee
property and apprehension of the villains, they have chalet
the vigilance of the police.
