NOLTIIUMBERLAND.  Monday, a person was committed to llchester gaol, for stealing yards of cotton print, from a shop in that town.• His wife received such a snuck at his misconduct, that the died the following day of a broken heart. The man who murdered the boy belonging to the Ferry at )3ulwell, Pembrokeshire, was taken onTuesdayl,iorning by a party of artillerymen, at Templet-own, on the road to Tenby.  Mr. Grant, 01.:1 ugel7court, Throgmortem-street, ' the proprietor of the articles stolen, stated, that having got information from, a Mr. Ross, that the prit:oner had offered for sale some raw silk, which he had reason to believe was his property, be had him apprehended: Mr. L. Roas deposed, that he was a silk dealer ; that sonic short time back the prisoner: offered to him- for sale a small quantity of Valencia silk. Suspecting, from the appearance of the article, that it was part of that which had been stolen from onboard the Sisters, he questioned the prisoner closely, tind asked him whether he had any more for sale. The prisoner said he had none of his own ; but he knew those who had a large bag and a trunk full of it, and promised to introduce him to a man who_ had got it to sell. Witness kept the sample, and made an appointment to meet the prisoner the,following Sunday. In the interim he went to tr.. Grant, and . they concerted a plan for the purpose- of endeavouring to learn where the great bulk of the silk was concealed. It was . agreed, that Ross- should suffer himself to be ap-, prehetuted with the prisoner, and in the mutual. confidencd naturally arisiot..; from such a situation, to endeavour to extract from him the whole of the secret. Mr. Russ accordingly met the prisoner on the following Tuesday, and, after endeavouring to learn from. him where the large quantity of silk to 'Wliich he alluded had been deposited, in vain, he gave a signal, an 'Oft:eer entered, and they were both conveyed to the Poultry Compter. They had not long been there, however, when Ross's plan was in some measure defeated by,a boy, who told them not :to write any letter to lie sent out,-for if they did, it would be opened and examined. The pristtner, thus put on his guard, (lid not, although he had intended, svritelo his friends out of doors. 'Wit- , nes's endeavoured, in the course of the day, to indace him to confess who were the persons concerned with hiin, but he evaded his sblicitation. In the course of the morning some person came into the yard below their windows, with whom the prisoner had some conversation'; witness did. not hear what was said, but on the prisoner ceasing 10 speak with this person, he turned round Kn.l said, all was moved. off; he did not care. He also' 'said, that ,Edward Hackett, who lived at No. 2, Lad-lane, had assisted in moving it away the night before. Hackett, ,who was a servant to a silk-dealer in "Lad-lane, was -apprehended. He denied all knowledge of the business, but confessed that be had knowdthe prisoner for some time. _Upon inquiry, however, it turned out that hehad heels absent from his master's house for irearly two hours on-Tuesday night. In accounting for his -absence, he said he had been to his shoemaker's,in Spitalfields, to speak about his shoes; the shh9ntaker, however, denied most positively that he had been to his house that night. The prisoner Beyham, in accounting for the manner in which the silk he offered for sale had come into. his possession, said, he met a man some time hack, at the 'corner of Shoe-lane, who seemed to be a la.dh r, and who asked him to purchase it,. and after some bargaining, he bought it for 51. Eight of the persons charged with bein,, concerned -in, the robbery of the vessel are in custody, and a, reward of 1501. has been offered for the apprehension of five others, whose descriptions have been learnt. The quantity of raw silk found in the prisoner'Beyham's possession only amounted to 4 lb. 6 oz. He -first asked 41. a pound for it, but afterwards agreed' to -take 345. -the pound, which was the real value. •  LONDON: Frinted bv THOMAS WOOD, of N 0.35, Mailen7lane, Covent-gnrden hi and Published by
