now-STR ET.—Yt •te nl Wm. Corbett, was hrnsirlit
np for re-examination, before G. It. M I N SUUL to Esq., the
Sitting Magistrate, el.arg•d with stealing a watch and
appendages from the person of Alevander Stratton,
the proprietor of the Holden Cross Inn, Charing-evils.
James Ellis, one of the conductors of the patrol be-
longing to the ilow•street estabislitnent, who cams up
at the instant, pursued the prisoner, and after some
difficulty overtook and secured him ; the watch was
however not found—Folly committed.
MA RT-LVIIONE Urn 14.1.—John Smith and ✓oseph
Draper, two Gypseys, were brought,before the Sitting
Magistrates, charged with stealing several horses
from stables, paddocks, &c. at Mill Hill, Hendon.
The prisoners were heavily ironed, in consequence of
one of them making a drsperate attempt to escape.
It appeared in evidence that a constable of Pad-
dington, named Humphries, having received inforina-
tion that several sublet'. Ste. at Hendon had recently
been broken open, and the horse, stolen, be was on
the look out, and on Friday evening, in consequence
of information, he took the prisoners into custody at
a public-house, in Bell-street, Mary-le-hose.
The prisoners were remanded until Saturday.

LAUNCH or THE al re or IVA n.--Yester-
day a 74-gun ship, built at Dvpiford Yard, on an en-
tire new principle. was !attn. lied. From the fineness
of the day, the river Thames, from Loudon-bridge
as far as Deptford, was crowded to excess with gay
company, and particularly an immense assemblage of
well-dressed females, This large specimen of the na-
val architecture of this country stood upon her cradle,
or crutches, about twenty feet from the water's edge.
On her starboard side she had a scatUding, progres-
sively ascending as high as her lower deck gun-ports.
From the summit of this staircase, wide enough for
ten persons to stand a-breast, two ladders were placed
for the purpose of reaching the quarter-deck. These,
about a quarter before too o'clock, were removed
eight or ten feet from the ship's gunnel, with a view
of restraining any more persons from going on board;
the decks bring then ceowded to excess from stein to
stern, and numbers of *lions were seen peeping
through the gun-porte, and cheering with bats off, as
the motion of the launch commeoced. Ihe dock-
yard was crowded l.y as immense concourse of com-
pany, and the streets blocked with carriages, which
were filled with persons of rank and fashion, who
pressed forward to witness the launch. We beheld
with astonishment a number of in e ing young wo-
men endeavouring to obtain a footing en hoard. They
forced their way op to tho top of the ladders, at that
time nearly perpendicular, scrambling overone another,
tied risked being precipitated in a body to the ground.
This height they hail the hardihood to ascend in spite
of the constables, who did all they amid to obstruct
them in their ascent. and, having pined the top of
I the ladders, they were seen stretching forth their
bands to receive those of their male hinds, at the
same time in the act of leaping the space between the
ship's side, at the imminent hazard (if they missed
their footing) of being precipitated a height of about
one hundred fret. The launch, painted yellow, with
a white streak, and having a full band of music on
board, at haltpast two. the signal being given, was
set in motion, as if of her own accord. The accele-
ration of such a large body was regular, yet rapid ; a
band of music playing, and those on board cheering ;
when, in the space of three seconds, she descended
from her props into the water, stern foremost, shoot-
ing with the most rapid motion into the middle of the
stream. Her!, her anchor being let go, she was safely
moored. The confusion about the water's edge now
became great, in holding boats in requisition to carry
ladies and gentlemen to see her as she lay in the water.
and in a few minutes she was surrounded by a myriad
of boats plying round her. The ships in sight lying
off Deptford had their flags hoisted, with awnings feral
and aft, and were filled with company. together with
bands of music, playing national airs. The ship was,
christened by the name of The Russell. Sbe is con-
structed. between the ports, oo Sir Robert Seppiog's
plan : the decks are laid diagonally. On her stern is
a bust of Admiral Russell. who commanded at La
Hogue she is, in oremsespect, a ship of new awl
beautiful structure, aordleem great credit to the Naval
Architect.
A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday, at the
Ironmonger's Arms, in Ironmonger-street, St. Luke's,
b. fore Mr. Unwip, the Coroner, on the body of John
Davy, tin-plate-trarker, aged. 26 years. who pat ao
end to bis existence by cutting his throat. The de-
ceased had been indisposed for some time,aod very low
spirited.—The Jary returned a verdict of " Insanity."
Tuesday se'nnight, between four and five o'clock, a
most alarming fire broke out on the premises occupied
as the drug mills and griodcry of Messrs. Mender,
Weaver, and Mander, chemists, in St. John Street,
Wolscrittimpton. Toe damage sustained is estimated
at about 1,0001, but the premises, fortunately, were,
insured.
On blunday an Exciseman attacked a cart passing
through St. John-street, ie which his quick eye had
discovered a barrel italf-covered with a sack. In place
of" mountain dew," however, his prise proved to be
water from Pitkeathly Wells; and his irritation at the
disappointment was greatly increased by the loud
laughter of the bystanders.—Last week, a functionary
of the Excise, while at dinner, received a written in-
formation that some whiskey was to be found in the
bed-closet of a liaise which was described. Appetite
yielded to duty. Having met the landlord at the door,
be enquired after the whiskey. A flat denial was the
response; bat the functionary, prepared fur such an
Answer. made his way to the closet, and searched it
without success; till, having bethought himself, he
opened the curtains. rolled down the clothes, and
found—not ass anchor of Olenlivet, but the goodly car-
case of a brother Miami:lab lying dead drank :

instantly ensued. The anxiety to escape soon choked'
op tie usual avenues of egress, and one wild univer-
sal shriek of horror evinced the agony that pervad d
thekwitole assembly. The windows were empire ly
demolished, and some persons were whh difficulty
prevented from precipitating. themselrrs through. At

a degree of composure cod tranquility was rest

has any personal injury been unstained, except some
bruises experienced by thuse who were endeavouring
to crush out.

over which he rushed a ith much fieetuess, and s•ca-

with dauntless intrepidity upon an adjacent dwelling-
house, a descent of about eight feet, imagining, no
doubt, that it was neck or nothing wizb him. From
thence be proceeded to Mr. Smith's roof, where he
stripped a proportion of the chimney of bricks, and,
