of the boy who first turned evidence, remanded to prison for farther examination, in hopes that some persons who were robbed of their handkerchiefs, &c. might come forward to identify some of the property, found on the sausageman.

The expedient by which the gang was detected was this:-Little Gray was discovered in the act of pilferng, and was immediately taken by one of the police officers to the fity marshal, in attendance at the Ram public-house, in Smithfield. On some questions being put to im, his answers led to the supposi ion that he had numerous active ellow-labourers in the same har lest. This occasioned further en. iry; when the boy was induced divulge the names of the whole raternity. He then accompanied ne of the police officers round the ir, and pointed out the other delinments, who were immediately secu

They were all, with the exception

but so powerfully was the impression fixed on her mind, that in a short time she sunk into her former state, and expired.

From the Dublin Correspondent. Sept. 15.-A few miles from this city, in a village, which consists of but four or five houses, a house of entertainment constantly afforded refreshment for those travellers who made it a resting-place. A respectable farmer, a very few evenings since, having been at the Dublin market, resolved to return home early, and left town before dinner: having reached this village, he put up his horse at the inn, and or. dered something to eat.-His meal, &c. being finished, and the evening coming on, he paid his bill to the landlord from a parcel of notes, one of which he changed, and then departed on his road home. At about the distance of one mile, his horse dropped a shoe; and as a smith's forge was contiguous to this part of the road, he dismounted, and finding Hh3

the

the door closed, and the smith gone to bed, he knocked until the farrier got up and opened the door. The shoc being replaced, the travel. Jer offered the smith a half-crown piece, desiring to get the change, which he declared at that hour he could not procure. The traveller, feeling that he had occasioned some trouble in disturbing the man, told him he might keep the whole. The poor smith, affected by this unex. pected generosity, eyed him with caution, and questioned him which road he had come; and on being informed that he had stopped at the village inn, asked him if any money had been seen in his possession in that house?-To which the traveller replied, that he had certainly a large sum of money in his posses. sion; the smith immediately cau tioned him to turn back to Dublin; for, that not two hundred yards on the road before him, at a bridge, which he described, he was certain to be stopped and robbed. this the traveller replied, he was well prepared, having his yeomanry pistols charged in his holsters. Smith told him, that if he was resolved to proceed, he had better examine his arms; the precaution was attended to; and upon opening the pans of the pistols, the priming of both was not only thrown out, but water appeared to have been poured in.

The traveller was resolute; and understanding from the smith (who he had now reason to believe was really in the secret) that he should be attacked by one man only, the pistols were re-charged, and he set forward on his journey. On his arrival at the bridge a fellow jumped from the hedge, and stopped him, demanding a large sum, which he said he knew he had about

him; the traveller hesitated, snd. denly drew forth his pistols, and shot the robber through the heart. It was the landlord of the in, whose similar practice of plunder had been constant.-The traveller røde back to the inn, and asked for the master of the house, who was said to be in bed, and not to be seen;" but, insisting on his being produced, the servant told him that he was gone out to a neighbour's house. The dreadful circumstance was disclosed, and the servants of the house were directed to the place where his body lay. The gentle. man returned in safety to town, and told the circumstance to several of his friends; and this extraordinary relation is collected from a gentleman who saw the body of the deceased on the very spot where he had so justly met the punishment due to his crimes.

18. Mr. Abraham Newland resigned his office of chief cashier of the bank of England, at a genera court meeting, after having been 60 years in the service. The director intimated their intention of settling an annuity on Mr. Newland, agree ably to custom; but this he refe sed, being possessed of ample pro perty. He, however, was prevai ed on to accept a service of plate value 1000 guineas. Mr. Henr Hase, the second cashier, succeed Mr. Newland.

Thomas Holmes, alias Benjam Craddock, and John Bryant, ali Birkett, were capitally indicted, u der lord Ellenborough's act, on charge of stabbing and woundis John Watkinson, on the night the 25th of May last, in High He born, with intent to murder, mai or do some violent bodily harm the said John Watkinson.

It will be recollected, that the crime charged in this indictment occurred during an attempt made by four persons to rob a waggon. One of the persons implicated in this charge (Finch) was exccuted about three weeks since, in consequence of his conviction for being found at large within this realm be fore the expiration of his former sentence of transportation; and the trial of these prisoners was postponed from the last sessions, on the absence of a principal witness.

It appeared, on the evidence of Mr. Parkin, salesman, of New Compton-street, that he was coming through Holborn, on the night stated, at 11 o'clock, and saw a waggoner driving along, followed by a man in a dark coat, who was accosting the waggoner, and asking him several questions about where he came from, and who was his master? and having catechised him for some time in this way, at length desired him to draw up at a publichouse near Red Lion-street, and offered to treat him with some drink. Mr. Parkin, suspecting the intention, tapped the waggoner on the shoulder, and advised him to pass on about his business. Witness again saw the waggoner opposite to an a. la-mode-beef shop, the corner of Smart's-buildings, and saw the man in the dark coat knock the waggoner down at the tail of the waggon. He called the watch, and went to the waggoner's assistance. Several watchmen and others came up; but the man who struck the waggoner ran off, and witness, not having seen his face, could not swear it was either of the prisoners.

Thomas Topping, the waggoner, swore to his having been knocked

down; but he could not swear to either of the prisoners.

Mr. John Cuthell, bookseller, in Holborn, swore, that the waggoner, on that night, pointed to a man in a dark mixture coat, and said he would swear that was the man who knocked him down. Mr. Cuthell advised him to charge that man oa the watch; but he, with another man, immediately ran away. Mr. Watkinson, who was present, immediately pursued him. Mr. Cuthell could not swear positively to either of the prisoners, but merely to their resemblance to the men he saw.

Mr. Watkinson stated, that he had pursued the two men mentioned by the last witness up Holborn, and seized one of them by the col. ler; but at this moment received the stab of some sharp instrument in his back. He felt the blood gushing profusely from the wound, and fell to the ground disabled. He could not swear positively to either of the prisoners, but only that they were very like the men he had seen in Holborn.

Coleman and March, two watch. men, stated, that they were called to stop the man who attacked the waggoner. Coleman said, that in attempting to stop them, one of them whita knife into his belly, and left him senseless on the ground; and March swore positively to the person of Bryant, as one of those who had passed him.

Mary Atkins, mistress of the Windsor Castle public-house, swore positively to the person of Craddock, whose face she distinctly saw, by a strong light, as he followed close at the tail of the waggon, within two yards of her, a little before the affray had occurred.

The evidence for the prosecution being closed, both prisoners denied the charge; and Bryant said he could prove an alibi.

In support of this plea, several witnesses were examined, and, among them four hackney coachmen, named Yates, Cox, Fish, and Gostling, who swore they sat in his company at the Crown and Auchor, public-house, Moor Fields, from ten o'clock to twelve, on the night of the 25th May, the affray having occurred at half past eleven that night. Craddock produced no witness. Mr. justice Heath summed up for the jury, who acquitted both prisoners.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the corning-house of the powder mills at Feversham blew up with a dreadful explosion; six men and three horses were at work in it at the time; they all perished in a miserable manner, and presented a spectacle frightful to behold. Three of the men were literally blown to pieces: a head here, an arm there, and a leg in some distant place from the rest. Their relatives and friends gathered the scattered members, and carried them away in baskets. The six unfortunate men have left wives and children. A similar misfortune happened to the powder mills at that place, in the summer of 1802.

19. At the Old Bailey Alexander Munroe was indicted for wilfully and maliciously wounding Emily Wyat, by discharging a pistol in the public highway on the 18th of June.

Miss Emily Wyat, a lady, about 21 years of age, stated, that she was walking along Fleet-street on the day stated in the indictment, when she heard the report of a pistol, but she did not see the person who

fired it. Witness went into a shop in a state of alarm, and she percei ved that she had been wounded un. der the left ear, which wound produced a good deal of blood.

Mr. Richard Nunn, who resides at 159, Fleet-street, saw the prisoner pull the pistol from his pocket and fire it, but he did not appear to level it at any person. Witness saw the prosecutrix go into a shop, and she was about ten yards from the prisoner when he fired the pis tol.

Wm. March, an officer belonging to the parish of St. Dunstan's, heard the report of a pistol, and in a moment afterwards he saw the prisoner put a pistol into his coat pocket. Witness scarched the pri soner, and found a pistol, two balls, and some powder in his pockets.

Mr. Davison, perfumer, in Fleetstreet, produced the ball which was fired from the pistol, which he had picked up in his shop the moment after the pistol was fired.

Mr. Cartwright, surgeon, proved that the wound which was under the car of the prosecutrix, was made by a ball.

The prisoner, being called on for his defence, said, that he fired the pistol in his own defence, as he was troubled.

The judge asked if there were any persons in court who knew the prisoner; but no one answered, At the suggestion of the judge, the keeper of Newgate was examined as to the conduct of the prisoner whilst in prison: and on Mr. Newman being interrogated, he said he had no reason to suppose the pri soner deranged until that day. had always conducted himself in prison in a quiet manner.

the jury observed, that the offence with which the prisoner stood charged amounted to murder if the person wounded had died; and it was still complete in the eye of the law if he even missed his aim, as it was construed a wilful and malicious act. It behoved the prisoner to offer some excuse for his conduct; but he had not done so, nor had there been any plea of insanity offered. No friends had appeared, and the gaoler had never, until the prisoner appeared to take his trial, any suspicion of his being insanc. If the defence offered was sufficient to justify a prisoner, it would be an easy matter for a felon to elude justice.-Guilty-Death.

Garnerin's Nocturnal Ascension! -Garnerin, the celebrated aeronaut, has addressed the following letter to the editors of one of the Paris journals:

Gentlemen,-Before I undertake the second nocturnal aërial voyage, which will take place at Tivoli on Saturday, the 19th September, I ought to give some account of that which I performed in the night between the 4th and 5th of August last.

My balloon was lighted by twenty lamps. Many persons felt some alarm from the number of these lights, and their proximity to the balloon, in case a diminution of the pressure in the upper regions should oblige me to let out the hydrogen gas by the lower orifices. They feared lest, in this case, the gas should find its way to the lights, take fire, and communicate the flames to the balloon. I had foreseen this inconvenience. In the first place the balloon, which was the same in which I ascended at Milan, was only two-thirds filled, that I

might defer the emission of the gas as long as possible; in the next, the nearest lamps to the balloon were fourteen feet distant from it; and lastly, conductors were placed in such a manner as to convey the gas away in a direction contrary to the lights.

Having made these arrangements, I felt no hesitation to undertake a nocturnal voyage. I ascended from Tivoli, at eleven at night, under the Russian flag, as a token of peace. There was not any decided current in the atmosphere, but only undula tions, which tossed me about, I believe a great part of the night. To this it was owing, that I was first carried towards St. Cloud, and afterwards brought back over Vincennes, in a diametrically opposite direction. How favourable this circumstance would have been to the speculations of those who pretend to direct balloons? I was in the full force of my ascension when the fire works of Tivoli were let off; the rockets scarcely seemed to rise from the earth; Paris, with its lamps, appeared a plain, studded with luminous spots. Forty minutes after my departure I attained an elevation of 2200 fathoms; the thermometer fell three degrees below. My balloon dilated considerably as it passed through a cload, in which the lights lost their bril liancy, and seemed ready to be extin guished. It was as urgent to give vent to the hydrogen gas, dilated to such a degree as to threaten to burst the balloon, as it was interest. ing to collect some of the air of this region. Both these operations I performed at once, without dithculty; and the emission of the gas brought me to a milder region.

At twelve o'clock, I was only
