John Osborn, a marine, of the Olympia cutter, has been committed to Plymouth gaol by Thomas ,Mantell, Esq. Mayor; charged by a Coroner's Inquest, with ,the wilful murder of Henry Gordon, of -that 'cutter.

A robbery was last week committed in Dublin, attended with very singular circumhances: About midnight a prostitute Was accosted- by a person somewhat intoxicated, who took her to a house of ill fame, where she contrived to pick bis pocket of a small envelope, containing 19 notes' of 1001. each. One of these she entrusted the next day to. a Mr. Case*, a mealman, to procure change, and two more to a Mr.i:Lynch, with whom 'she had formerly lived.. The latter, however, disclosed the. transaction to the banking-house whose name appeared to the notef ; and it was agreed to detain the woman when she came, and take measures to recover the remainder of the notes. But in the mean time Casey and one M'Lin, a next door neighbour, contriveal, by threatening the woman, to get possession of the entire sum, and • then turned her out of doors, telling' her to get away as fast as she could rfor her life'woidd. be in danger if she were taken. For a few hours she was inclined to comply with their suggestions, but afterwards gave herself up, and disclosed all the facts. Casey and M‘Liii are both in custody; tile: the most extraordinary circumstance in the whole case is, that no person has yet come forward to claim the property. The murderer of J.
