BURGLARIES.—J. Sandford, aged twenty-one, has been examined at Marlbo- rough-street,

on a charge of attempting to break into Mr. Stultz's, the fashionable tailor in Clifford-street, on Friday morning. On an alarm being given, the fellow ran away ; and on being stopped by a watchman, snapped a loaded pistol at him. This fortunately missing fire,he knocked him down with the butt-end,and ran away, but.was afterwards secured.

Sarah Sandford, wife to the above, has been examined at Bow-street, charged with being concerned in Mr. Stultz's robbery, and also in several burglaries at Mr. Edge's in Essex-street, Strand, where they both lived, but were not known to be mart and wife. Mr. Edge proved that the pistol snapped by Sandford at the watchman was his property, and had little doubt now that the different bur- glaries which had been committed in his house were planned by the prisoners.

The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the Earl of Liverpool arrived at the Customhouse on Wednesday afternoon, in thirteen hours and a half from Ostend, bringing information of a most extraordinary robbery having been com- mitted at Brussels a few days since.

The loss is stated to be about 180,0001. A most rigid search was made, and the persons of the passengers on board the Liverpool were strictly examined on embarkation.

A man of the name of Harris was some short time ago apprehended under the name of Tisley, for having returned from transportation ; he was tried at the Old Bailey, convicted, and sentenced to be executed. It was discovered that he was not Tisley, but Harris. The unfortunate man soon became delirious from the ap- prehension of death, and he now lies in the infirmary of Newgate, quite destitute of reason. In the course of the investigation, Mr. Secretary Peel discovered, that though Harris was not Tisley, Harris himself was a person who had been trans- ported for life, and had returned without the Royal pardon. Who the real Tisley was, a drover of Smithfield could have told ; but he refused to peach, because this mysterious person had " turned from his bad courses." So, we suppose, had the Smithfield drover—who confessed that he had been in Newgate for robbery A poor fellow has been fined at Lambeth-street Office, under the Pedlar's Li- censing Act. in the mitigated penalty of 10/. for selling a pennyworth of sand, not having his licence about him ! the act is imperative—every pedlar must carry his licence with him.

As some boys were amusing themselves in a field near Battle-bridge, with what is called "larking," Archer, a boy about fifteen years of age took offence, and instantly plunged his penknife into the breast of another boy, named Gorman. The rest attempted to take him prisoner : this he vigorously resisted, and striking at his assailants with the knife, a boy named Whittle received the blade in his knee, from which the blood gushed in a stream, and another lad had his thumb laid open to the bone. Archer having thus effectually cut his way through, ran off at full speed, and was with difficulty secured. Gorman lies in a dangerous state at the hospital ; and Whittle, it is thought, will be lame for life.

The Magistrates have used the utmost exertions to bring to justice the author of the late dreadful conflagration at Badlingham and Freckenham ; and Howard and Bullman, who have been several times examined on suspicion, have been fully committed to Bury gaol, to take their trial at the next Cambridge As- sizes.

An extensive seizure of tobacco was recently made on board a vessel from New York. The smugglers had adopted a novel mode for the purpose of dis- guising their contraband merchandise. The tobacco was in bags which contained, to all outward appearances, cotton ; but, on opening the bags, the cotton was found only a few inches deep, all the rest being tobacco. The Customhouse officers, who acted on an information, seized, we believe, no fewer than seventeen bags, containing cotton and tobacco.—Liverpool Courier. At the Royal Court at Jersey, on Monday last, Philip John was found guilty of parricide and murder, by throwing a brick at his father, which struck him on the head, and caused his death the same day. The father appears to have treated his son on all occasions with great brutality. The culprit was ordered for execution to-day, and his estate and effects to be confiscated to the Crown. This wilt be the first execution that has taken place in Jersey for many years past.

On Monday last, as two gentlemen were admiring one of the five wolves at the Zoological Gardens, a child playing near the cage put her arm within reach, and was instantly seized by the ferocious animal. One of the bystanders, Mr. Perry, surgeon to the Foundling Hospital, with great promptitude kicked the wolf vio- lently in the throat, and made him quit his hold. The limb was considerably lacerated, and after Mr. Perry had used the best remedies at his command, the child was conveyed home to Park-street, Grosvenor-square, by her alarmed mother, who had been present at the accident.

An inquest was held on Wednegday, at the Woolpack, Gravel-lane, Southwark, on the body of Elizabeth Brookbridge, who had taken a quantity of oxalic acid. The father of the deceased had taken a young man named Arthur Bryan before the Magistrates of Union-hall the preceding day, on a charge of having seduced her ; and the sister of the deceased stated that she had told her she took the poi- son from the violence Bryan had used towards her. Bryan was accordingly de- tained in custody till the result of the inquest should be known. The sister de- tailed to the Jury the whole of her previous statement ; which Bryan in the most solemn manner denied, adding that though he had occasionally walked with her he had never taken an improper liberty with her. The Coroner said there was no evidence to criminate Bryan, and he was discharged. After a minute investi- gation, the Jury returned a verdict, " that the deceased destroyed herself whilst labouring under a temporary fit of insanity."

Another inquest was held on the body of Sophia Scott. The case closely re- sembled the above in every point, and a similar verdict was returned.

A person of gentlemanly appearance went into the Hampshire Hog public- wouse in Woolwich, in the early part of Tuesday, andcontinued drinking till even- ing; when the landlord observing that he was much affected with what he had taken, put him to bed, and then proceeded in his business. After closing the house, the landlord, at the desire of his wife, returned to his lodger's room: he found the bed empty, and on looking round he discovered the gentleman in one corner quite dead, the body doubled up with the head bent under it. Mr. Dakin, a surgeon, was immediately sent for, but his exertions were unavailing, as it ap- peared the stranger had been dead at least half an hour. Search was afterwards made in the trunks of the deceased, when several papers were found, by which he was identified as the Rev. John Campbell, who some years since held the curacy of Wytoo, in the county of York.

William Brown, the mate of a vessel lying in the Thames, having been for a considerable time labouring under great despondency of mind, a strict watch was set on his actions; notwithstanding which, he has made four different attempts to hang himself—the last was almost successful, and although suspended anima- tion was restored, his ultimate recovery is very doubtful.

A woman with a child went into an oitshop at Noxton : while the mother was purchasing some article, the child was heard to cry, as if in great agony—it had swallowerta strong solution of potash, which had been placed in a cup on the counter. The child died the next day. The windows of a newly-erected cottage at Ardingly, near Lewes, the pro- perty of the Rey. James Hamilton, were last week entirely demolished. It is re- ported that Mr. Hamilton has made himself very unpopular. On the 19th ult. the ship Ceres of London, James Warren commander, struck upon the Ridge Sand, off Yarmouth, and afterwards drove off, and was towed on shore at Southwould, a complete -wreck : all hands were most providentially saved, after remaining eleven hours upon the wreck, with the sea =suing com- pletely over them. On Thursday, a schooner, about two miles off Howth, was overtaken by a sud- den squall, and capsized. Although every exertion was made by the fisherman, (who literally carried the life-boat, it being low-water, to launch her,)—they were not able to reach the spot in time, the vessel and all on board having previously diappeared.
