a younglady from the convent at Banbury. The young lady ‘9216 known in the eon.- vent as Sister Antonia; her worldly name" is unknown, but she is un- derstood to be very highly connected.

IElosnillietSeereter7 tcqk ati.oppertunity of,ncthig. alono,.* en); 21e:investigation ieto the ehargeaga'und Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, of cruelty to ;their maid Jane Wilbred, was continued et,Guildhall Pollee Court yes. terday,; and psuticulars oven more disgusting than those already disclosed were elicited. Jane Wilbred has much improved in appearance, and her eauditionsis no longer-critical; but she is still painfully weak, and is put oat of breath by an-endeavour to walk, or by much speaking. Mr. Sloane ap- peared alone. Mrs. Sloane has evaded the search of the officers, and intends to remainin concealment till the day of trial at the Old Bailey, when it is said she will surrender and put herself upon the country. Mr. Tluddlestone appeared for the West _London Union, who now intend to prosecute with vigour. He applied, however, for a further remand, in order to make him- self fully master of the-case,• and-intimated that if Mrs. Sloane does not ap- pear next week when he shall prosecute the examination in full detail, he shaft eepose the permission of Mr. Sloane-to-be at large. Mr. Philips, the attorney for Mr. Sloane, replied that hail-could not be refused ; and hinted that if it were refused below, the Judges would grant it above. Alderman Humphery adjudged that the bail be increased, and required two sureties for 2591. each and the recognizances of Mr. Sloane himself for 500/. Mr. Sloanee by stratagem' escaped from the 'Police Court unobserved ; but he was reenszed in Gresliam Street, and was quickly surrounded/bye mob, who used Inn most roughly. In a.few sewn& be was covered with wed, his hat was thrust over his head, and he received many blows; a Policeman with difficultygot him into a house and procured a cab for him ; the cab was ordered to drive to the South-western Railway, and only by very rapid , driving did it outstrip the excited pursuers.
The seven persons charged with the robbery ofthe jewellers in the Strand were tried rit the Central Criminal Court yesterday. Clinton the shop-boy, who admitted the robbers in the evening after the manager had gone, Shaw and Badcock, the shoemakers, Clintoits friends, -with-Gardner and Baneher, two reputed thieves, were tried as principals; Mary Buncher and Mary Che- roneau were tried as -comforters and abettors. -Clinton pleaded guilty. The trial of the others bad an unexpected result : Clinton's former statements incriminating the others have been so contradictory, and-his whole conduct so untruthful, that the Crown prosecutors would not venture -to put him in the box as Queen's evidence; and the other witnesses wholly failed to make the least case against any one but Badcock. The Jury heard counsel briefly on behalf of Bedrock, and then acquitted all the prisoners, excepting of course Clinton himself; the Judge concurring, with regret, in the strife propriety of their verdict. Clinton was sentenced to he transported for twenty years.
