tween the Candidates; the successful ones cannot as
rt be ascertained. but it is generally thought the
item. le. A. PRITTIE will be the first on the Poll.—
Saturday is the day agreed upon to terminate the
scentest."
About ten o'clock on Thursday night, as Edward
Read and Chai les Virgin, officers of Batton-garden
Police, were crossing Cold Bath-square, they ob-
served a man lying .fiat on his face on the iron grating
over the kitchen area of Mr. John ‘Villiarna, No. 7.
Suspecting that lie sae on some bad design they
watched his motions, and discovered that he was
talking to some person underneath, who they saw
band up • parcel between the bars. The officers
came up, and asked him what he was doing there?—
He said, only talking to his sister ; not satisfied with
this answer they took him into custody. lie dropped
two or three articles which the officers picked op,
one was a small parcel containing gold seals, gold
rings, and brooches, another parcel contained bits
of broken gold and silver, and the third some jewel-
lery and trinkets. The officers knocked at Mr.
'Williams's door, to whom they made the case known,
end searched the Prisoner in his presence, when they
found a valuable gold ring, ricbly set, on his finger,
which Mr. Williams identified as his property. They
then took the maid-servant into custody, and in
searching her box they found many other articles of
her master's property.—Mr. Williams gave charge of
both, and they were committed for examination.
CUTIER'S ACCOUNT OF TIME WORLD.—Mr. CU-
TIER states one very remarkable fact, viz. that no
boson remains have been hitherto discovered among
the extraneous fossils; from which he infers that the
population of the world is but of recent date, and
that its present surface is not of very ancient forma-
tion. He affords many proofs from traditions of a
great catastrophe and subsequent renewal of human
society.—Finolly, lie is of opinion, that if there is
any circumstance well established in geology, it is,
that the crust of our globe has been subjected to a
great and sudden revolution, the epoch of which
cannot be dated much farther back than five or six
thousand years ago; that this revolution had buried
all the countries which were before inhabited by
men and by the other animals that are now best
:known.
