At the Brentford Sessions, on Saturday, Frederick Robinson, son of

General Sir Frederick Robinson, was committed to take his trial on a charge of stealing a horse from a basket-maker in Hammer- smith, under pretence of hiring it. The prisoner said he had not seen his father for many years.

At the Mansionhouse, on Monday, John Groves, a clerk who had been in the employ of Masterman and Company, the bankers for twenty years, was charged with embezzling 964/. 18.s. 4d., received by him as cashier at the counter. There was some doubt, from the man- ner in which the account was kept by the prisoner, whether his offence was legally embezzlement, though he allowed that he had used the cash of his employers to the amount stated. He was remanded.

On Thursday, several parties attended an investigation at this office, relative to the manner in which merchandise to the amount of 3,5001. had been obtained from a house in Belfast, by a Mr. Hamilton, under pretence of shipping them to a mercantile firm in Hamburg, but which goods were actually sent to Liverpool, and thence to London, where they were found on the premises of a Mr. Woolf,—the original owners having never received payment for them. The affair was brought before the Lord Mayor a few days ago ; when Mr. Woolf said that he had bought them from a Mr. Joseph Lyons of Liverpool ; and on Thurs- day he produced Mr. Lyons, who testified to the fact of his having

Sold the goods to Woolf; but when asked how he procured them him- self, was advised by Mr. Clarkson, his counsel, not to say any thing. Accordingly, he confined himself to the statement above-mentioned ; and was suffered to depart, on the understanding that he is again to come forward when called npon. In the mean while, the goods remain in possession of one of the constables of the office.

Mark Nicholls, a labourer, and John Shadford, a tailor of Catherine Street, Pimlico, were committed on Tuesday, from the Marlborough Street Office, on a charge, the first of stealing, the second of receiving a considerable quantity of silver-gilt lace from a room in Buckingham Palace. The value of the stolen property is said to be between 400/. and 500/. The lace was kept in a box nailed and screwed down in a a room to which Nicholls had access, as an upholsterer's labourer.

A Coroner's Jury on Monday found a verdict of "Wilful Mustier" against Mr. Staninought, who, as we mentioned last week, cut his son's throat. The Jury added, that they strongly suspected the prisoner to have been mad when he committed the murder. Staninought was committed for trial, from the Marylebone Office, on Tuesday. On the same day, an inquest was held on the body of Mr. Bales, an auc- tioneer in the Edgeware Road, whose intellects were so much affected by the murder of Staninought, that he fancied he was always followed about by the murderer. On Monday, he said to his wife, to whom he bad been only married three weeks, " Helen, see how he glares at me !" and immediately dropped down dead. The verdict was, " Died by the visitation of God."

The Bury and Newmarket coach Eclipse arrived at the Flower-pot, Bishopsgate Street, on Tuesday night. Some passengers having to alight, both coachman and guard did so likewise, leaving a man to stand by the heads of the horses. The horses being startled at some- thing, knocked the man down, and set off at fall gallop down Thread- needle Street, passed the -Bank and Royal Exchange, and took the narrow turning between the side of the Mansion-house and the new banking-house of Smith, Payne, and Smith, at the end of whicii is a court with not space enough for a carriage to pass ; and consequently, on the horses gaining the entrance of it, the coach was jammed, and they fell. There were three female passengers outside, and two ladies and a gentleman within, none of whom were hurt.
