ROGERS.  About eleven o'clock on Saturday night, screams of murder were heard in the prisoner's house, and ins►antly a man, almost in a state of nudity and covered with blood, issued out, exclaiming that he was robbed, and an attempt made to murder him by two men, who stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, and hat, and before he could effect his escape mangled his tiice by blows in a dreadful manner. A person of the name of Stunner, a boot and shoe-maker, and a publican of the name of Wilcox, together with the Mratehman, entered the house, but finding no traces of the.per.ions who had committed the robbery, took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed her to the watch-house, whither, while they were going, she said she knew the parties well, but neither the hope of reward nor the fear of punishment should ever extort from her a confession of their names or their circumstances. Shortly after the witness (Stunner) took up a man whom he found lurking about the prisoner's residence, on suspicion of the robbery, and • having. conveyed him to Spa-fields watch-house, Walker, the constable of the night, refused to take the charge of him, sad while Stunner was gone to fetch the prosecutor, Malpy, who resides at No. 14, Great Warner-street, Clerkenwell, to identify the indiVidnal Walker discharged bins. He is well' known, however, by the -officers, and no doubt is entertained of his speedy apprehension. ~About eight o'clock on Sunday morning iNialpy's clothes were returned to him, it is supposed by the very man, at his residence. Mulpy did not attend at ,the examination yesterday, and was stated to be Out .of town.  The prisoner denied to the magistrates all knowledge of the parties. Walker did not think it his duty to detain the individual alluded to in custody 'merely on suspicion. Mr.I.A;NG severely reproved him, and said if he had not the man in, custody in the space of one hour, he should suffer for it.—The prisoner was discharged.

Dr. Wollaston; one of th© most enlightened philosophers of the present age, either abroad or at home, remains, we regret to hear, in a state which leaves little or no hope of recovery. In tbs midst, however, of disease and pain, and feeling that his life is most precarious, this truly great man has been, and iy, devoting his probably few remaining houis in communicating (by dictation) the rosu:t of those discoveries which he has wade, and such of those itnprovemeets, so invaluable to science, the kneivledge of which is calculated to be most beneficial to his feilote-yeatures.
