SATURDAY.—CO INING. Dennis Reordan, Thomas on•rolly 410 James Quin, were indicted fur feloniously counterfeiting a quantity of pieces, called shillings, purporting to he the coin of the realm. The prison-rs, who were unacquainted with the English tongue, had recourse to the medium of an interpreter; and it appeared, that in the month of-May last, sonic of the City Officers received intOrniation that the business of coining going on at a house in Angt I-alley, floor-lane, Cripplegate.— In consequence of this information, tin.) , went to the lonise in question, where tkey found the prisoner- at work, tiling and rubbing shillings ; w bile at the same time there was foemil in the room every article used in purposes of coining. together with a quantity of finished and unfinished pieces of money of the same satae.

THE SEMAPHOHE.-1 his improvt ii machine began working on Wednesday, between the Admiralty . and Chatham. 'I he communications by this means very far surpass the Tel-graph recently in use both in celerity and perspicuity. One among the great advantages obtained is the di,tineteirss of obser‘ing the apparatus from one station to another, %%Inch is accounted for from the late one being of a square (twin, and thereby holding the density of the atmosphere, and the pi e , elot simply an upright hollow mast. The Telt graph, at is a ell• t noun, consisted of six shooters or flaps, and timid not by any means produce one hundred cmnbinatinur. So superior ate the powers possessed by this machine, that with onto two atta. it produces nut merely letters and words, but whole sentences, and upwards of two thousand different symbols. The iiige away displayed in the arrangement is exceeitingly great—and it may be said that communicating by characters in this man ner has rear-lied its ntmost 1 . • s. The powers of this machine are not confined to the naval service, and its construction is upon such simple principles as to admit of its being adapted to all the uses of an army, and can be conveyed in five minutes. in a waggon from place to Aare, as circumstances require. His Royal Highness this Duke of York, Sir Henry Torrens, Sir H. Calvert, and several noble and distinguished officers, have inspected it for this pur pose, and pronounced their approbation .nt . its powers. The public are indebted to Admiral Sir !tome 'Amhara, for the improvement and adoption of this important in, ention, Mikadoy morning last, during a severe nullifier-storm, a tine brood mare, the property of Mr. John Knapping, of South Shoebury, Essex, was struck dead by the lightning.

Strand, appeared to a summons to answer to an information laid against him by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, for suffering persons to be tippling in Iris house during divine service on the Lord's Hay. It appeared in evidence, that between i t and it o'clock on Sunday, the 21d of June, there were between forty and fifty persons smoking in his house. The defendant stated, that Ins house was situate close to the water side, and that the people found there were watermen and market people from the country. He was convicted in the mitigated penalty of ins. and costs. Henry Skinner, of the Blackamoor's-Head, Exeter-street. Strand, was charged with a similar offence about tt o'clock on Sunday, the of June. The defendant stated, that there were several workmen employed in the English Opera, wine that worked all day on Sunday is under to complete that building; and that 12 o'clock being their dinner hour, they only cause for that purpose. The Magistrate observed, that their doing as illegal offence could not be a sufficient excuse for Mtn in a breach of the Sabbath, and they were liable to have informations laid against them; but it being his first offence, and the Society not pressing for the penalty, on his promising not to offend again in like manner, he was discharged on paying the costs. Friday, George Farney was bmught up and examined, charged with assuming the character of an Attorney, and thereby obtaining and defrauding several persons of various sums of money. Mrs. Abraham., of Gough-vutre, deposed, that in Fchruary last the pri soner was recommended to her as an Attorney; to consequence of which she employed him to defend an action for her, and paid him fol.; since which witness had disescered that tile prisoner was not an Attorney. Mr. James .lay, of Sugar-Loaf-Court, Swan-yard, M inis ries, deposed having paid the prisoner the stun of al. under similar circumstanosa. There Leing other charges expected against the pri soner, he was remanded for further examination. UNION HALL. T. Wood, a vagrant, whose appearance pm - seined a striking picture of mi'ery, was brought up by W. Snow, the Constable of Newington, who stopped him in the act of begging from door to door. On search ing him, money was found concealed carefully in various parts of his rim, to the amount of £' 3s. and also a valuable silver hunting watch, capped and jewelled : it also appeared that the prisoner was in the weAly receipt of 3s. from the Parish offic e rs of St, G e orge's, to which Parise he helotb,ss. The money. watch, and some papers and memo randums found on the prisoner, were handed over tothe Churchwardens; and on furCier inquiry. it appeared, that this miserable impostor was Ow proprietor of several small tenements, the rent of which he receivma weekly.—lle was committed to the House of Cornx.tiou for seven day's, and ordered to be afterwards passed to his parish. The nine convicts at Ely As,rtes, whose sentences were mi tie tied to transportation, were last week conveyed to Newpate, front %%hence they are to be sent off to Botany Bay by the fir VC!.3 , 4 that Naik. At Lady Jersey's lateentertainment, a man in a good evening dress, and a tolerable appearance. came to the door, out of a hackney midi. and having announced himself to the sersant as Captain Kehy, was permitted to go up stairs, with the usual repetitions of his supposed name. On approaching the door of the ball-room, he stopped, on a pretence that his shoe-buckle was loose; and, affecting to find great dif ficulty in fastening it, he desired to he shewn into some separate apart ment. 'nth was done by the servants ;he was shewn into a dressing room, and was des.•ending foam that to leave the house, when the ser vants suspected him, knowing that he had not been in the principal apartments. He was searched. and a silver ink-stand of her Lady ship's being found upon him, he was taken to the watch-house by La vender. At the Countess of Shaftesbury's hall, a man fashionably dressed, sent up his name as General Gore, or Gower, and actually entered the ball-room. In such a company no person with the rank of General could long remain without being known to some one. It Is as observed. that he did not present himself to the Lady of the mansion, nor speak to any person. The suspicions of the company soon became apparent to him, and he left the hall-mows, but not the house. Si.arrh being made for him, he was found concealed in one of the apartments under a sofa.—We have not heard that the Police Officers knew him, but he acknowledged btaiself to he an impostor. As he had taken nothing, he was dismissed. A girl.

A brace of balls. which passed through his head, lay near the body on the bed. In tile evening an Inquisition was held on the body. It appeared that the as...eased was a pleasant cheerful man, much in the favor of hie master, and esteemed by all who knew hint ; that within the last fortnight he complained of a pain in his sto mach, and was also troubled with headach ; that he used to lean with his elbow on the tilde, and his hetul resting on his hard ; that he grew melancholy, and exhibited evident marks of derangement. The jury, without any hesitation. returned a verdict-- That he shot himself is a state of mmital derangement. FATAL Erectes or IV' WATIO,L—SIIIIIiIV morning.
