A few evenings ago the house of Mr. Heiden the owner of Printers' Street. Earl Street, Blackfriars, was robbed of money, plate, clothes, and other articles, to the amount of 3001. It seems that on the re turn of Mr. Border, who had been during the day at Croydon, to his house, at 9 in the evening, he heard a noise and strange voices on knocking at the door. He went to the watchhouse to get assistance, and on his return found the door open. On entering the house he saw every thing in disorder, the desks and drawers forced andritied, and the rooms stripped of every article of value that could be re- moved. The maid servant was absent, but the chairwoman, whom site had employed to take care of the house while she visited her sweetheart, made her appearance in great agitation. The story she told was, that the female servant had left her alone in the are of the house in the early part of the evening.: shortly after she heard voices up stairs, and listening attentively she heard sornebotly say, 6` Ann, arc you gone out yet ?" Frightened dreadfully, and fearing that she should be murdered, she crept into the anal-hole, where she remained locked up until the return of Mr. Bonier. The servant, on her return, seemed astonished on hearing of the robbery, but being suspected was taken into custody. The person she h:ul been to visit was also apprehended. They underwent long private examinations at Guildhall , but were discharged after a confinementsf two days.— Among the property stolen are the following articles:—A gold watch, ten silver watches, several gold chains and seals, four dozen of silver spoons, four massy silver candlesticks, three silver mugs, a number of ancient gold and silver coins, and from Go to ttio guineas in geld.

At the last Wells Assizes a cause was tried, for the second time. respecting the warranty of too sheep, which the seller, who lived in Soineisetsiiire, engaged to deliver to the purchaser, a gentleman of fortune, at his seat in Kent. One thing soon became certain, and , that wia, that all the sheep had the rot soon after their arrival at the place of their destination. The proof of this was most positive, for within a very shoo. time ohey all died of it. A question here arose, whether the sheep had contracted this -fatal disorder before or after the delivery; the purchaser refusing to pay because they were un sound, and the seller claiming . the benefit of his bargain beer-use he t maintained that they were sound. Witnesses were drawn up against, each other in flat contradiction, and the Jury would have been puz zled in their decision, lerd not Mr. Justice Burrotigh addressed a few, questioes to two of the deft:talent's witnesses. Of the first, a Kentish. fanner, he enquired, if he did not know that land which would roe sheets in open weather, would not rot them in wfrost ?-0n the fruitier declaring that his experience did not extend so far is that, hi, Lordship said.
