HORSE STEALING.- HATTON GARDEN.- Jas.Target and George Withers, were yesterday brought up for final examination on a charge of horse stealing. Target, it may be recollected, was lately tried at Salisbury for a similar offence. A number of witnesses attended to prove the case, and keep the chain of evidence together necessary to substantiate it. Mr.Williams, a farmer of Chick's Grove, Tisbury, Wilts, deposed that on Friday morning the 12th inst. he missed from one of his fieIds, adjacent to the high road, a bay gelding; he could not in any way trace it, until, through the medium of the public journals, under the head of Hatton-garden Police, he observed a paragraph, stating that two persons had been apprehended on suspicion of stealing two horses. He immediately repaired to London with a friend, from whom the second horse was stolen; and through the active exertions of Thompson, of the Bow-street patrol his horse was found. There was, however, no trace of his friends horse. He identified his property. ---- Battin deposed that he had bargained for the horse and purchased it from the prisoner Target at the "House of Commons" public-house, London-road.
As the property was stolen in Wilts, first sold in Surrey, and found in Essex, the Magistrates consulted the convenience of the. witnesses as to the place of trial, and it was agreed that the prisoners should be tried at the next Surrey assizes. All the witnesess were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were committed.
A few days since as a child was playing on the quay at Leith, a Newfoundland dog running by pushed him into the water, when a sailor called the dog back, and pointed to the floating child; the dog instantly plunged into the water, and brought out the child unhurt.
An Irishman, named Terence James Connel, has been committed to Chester Gaol; charged with violating, and afterwards murdering, Margaret Treavor, an inoffensive woman 50 years of age. -- Lary Kennur, an lrish watchman of St.Giles's, was fully committed for trial last Saturday, from Marlborough-street Office, for violating a girl eight years of age.

The Leeds Intelligencer relates, that a fine little boy, about six years old, son of a tanner at Headingley, went on Saturday last into a brew house, where some bricklayers, who were employed at work, imprudently gave the poor child about a pint of strong beer; the consequence of which was, that he was taken very ill, and died next day. The child's body was opened by surgeons, and the beer strictly analysed, but a variance of opinion has arisen among the medical gentlemen as to the certain cause of the child's death; and a similar difference of opinion existed among the coroner's jury, which could not at their first meeting come to a decision on the subject.

Workmen are employed in clearing away the ruins of the old chapel, and in due time we expect to see the new church ready for public worship. The eagerness of the parishioners for this event may be imagined, when we state that every labouring man in the parish has voluntarily offered a week's work towards its erection.
Winchester,
Saturday, August 27.
HANTS COUNTY CLUB.- The 36th anniversary of this club was celebrated at the White Hart Inn, in this City, on Wednesday Iast, by the Members and their friends; at which were present, A.H.Dottin, and Wadham Wyndham, Esqrs. the two Stewards for the year; the Rt.Hon.Sir George Henry Rose, Sir John Walter Pollen, Bart.; Charles Graeme, Henry Masterman, Thomas Deane, Henry Barlow, and George Hollis, Esqrs. Many members excused themselves on account of absence from the country, and other indispensable engagements. This club was founded in 1789, for the purpose of maintaining the honour and independence of the connty, and securing the stability of our excellent Constitution in Church and State.
The advantages arising from the Club have been experienced on many important occasions during the eventful period of time that has elapsed since its establishment.
The dinner upon this occasion consisted of venison and other delicacies of the season, with an excellent dessert presented by Mr.Wyndham, the junior Steward, and the wines gave general satisfaction. The utmost conviviality prevailed, and the company separated at about 11 o'clock.- Sir G.H.Rose accepted the office of Steward, in the place of Mr.Dottin, who went out of office; and a much fuller attendance is expected at the next meeting.
The Rev.R.B. Paul, M.A, Fellow of Exeter College, has been presented, by the Rector and Fellows of. that Society, to the Vicarage of Long Wittenham, in this county.

On Wednesday last died Mrs.Filer, wife of Mr.Martin Filer, of the Soke, near this city, builder.
On Thursday morning died, at half-past two o'clock, at Appleshaw, Mr. William Blake, aged 85: through the whole of his long life, his tenderness and affection for those he brought up from their infancy (having no children of his own) were most exemplary; and since the death of his beloved wife (which took place only ten weeks since, as recorded in this Joumal of the 20th of June), he had the happiness to meet with a reciprocal return by their kind attendance on him until the hour of his death. He had enjoyed happiness in a conjugal state more than 60 years; was deservedly esteemed as a man of strict honour, integrity, and probity; a cheerful companion, a sincere friend, and a good neighbour; and he will be long lamented by all who knew him.
The Hon.Mr.Hill's keeper, at Red Rice, lately found a hawk's nest with 5 young ones. He took 3 at that time, and shot one of the older ones, Ieaving 2 young ones alive in the nest, and baited a gin with a mouse close to the nest, to catch the other old one. Next day he went to the nest, and found the old one caught in the gin; but before it was caught it had worked hard to get food for the young ones; for in the nest were found twenty-three small birds of different kinds, all very cleanly picked, and all without a head, lying by the side of the young ones.
The Biter bit.- At Sarson lately, a shepherd observed a hawk descend and pick up something with its claws out of the grass, and rise again immediately, ascending to a considerable height in the air, when it suddenly fell to the ground: he ran to the spot, and found the hawk dead, but a stoat, which had sucked its blood during its aerial ascension, made off into a hedge before it could be killed.
On Thursday last Thos.Rumbold and Wm.Harding, labourers, were convicted before Geo.Lovell, Esq. in the mitigated penalty of 40s for robbing the garden and orchard of their master Mr.James Reeves, of King's Somborne. Two others who were concerned in the above depredation have absconded.

Southampton,
Saturday, August 27.
On Tuesday evening last a public distribution of Bibles and Testaments, by the Ladies' Association, took place at the Long Rooms, the Rev.Dr.Wilson, of Queen's Coll. Oxford, rector of Holy Rood, in the chair.
The reverend gentleman opened the meeting by stating that he considered assemblies of this kind as well adapted to keep up that lively interest in the progress of the Bible Society, which its important object demands. Such occasions ought to be deeply serious and solemn, as connected with the circulation of the sacred volume, which communicates the most important blessings to lost & benighted souls. Those who attended them should consider themselves as under the eye of the Almighty, and should lift up their hearts to him in simplicity & in faith. In proportion as the number is increased of those who live in fear and love of God, such meetings would be attended in the hope and prospect of spiritual good. The eagar reception of the word of God in foreign countries, and the gratitude excited towards their benefactors here, were well adapted to teach us somewhat of the primitive simplicity of religion. He particularly referred to what had taken place in Sierra Leone, as offering instances of the same temper as is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles: under the influence of which the first converts to the Christian faith, "continued with one accord in the temple; and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people." The domestic benefits of such institutions as these were neither few nor small. It had been his happiness to witness some of these. The attention to religion which they had excited had been beneficial to many, who had become sensible of their own need of blessings thus endeavoured to be dispensed to others. As a minister of the Church of England, he could desire nothing more earnestly than to see his own hearers present on these occasions, to acquire strong impressions of the value of the Holy Scriptures, and then to meet them on the sabbath, in the discharge of his duty, filled with good impressions derived from the perusal of the sacred volume.
The meeting, which was very large and respectable, was also addressed by the Rev.T.A.Methuen, Rector of All Cannings, the Hon.and Rev.Francis Noel, and other gentlemen.
Birth.- On Tuesday at Bittern Grove, near Southampton, the lady of Major-General Ashworth, of a daughter.
On Wednesday last died, after a short illness, in the bloom of youth, the niece of Mr.Charles Froud, dyer.
On Wednesday last died, aged 8 years, afflicted from her infancy, Eleasa, youngest daughter of Mr.Thomas Andrews, ironmonger, and clerk of All Saints.

On Friday morning Mr.Bennett of the Calshot preventive station, seized a boat containing 57 tubs, off the Salterns; a man who was in the boat was also taken; the spirits and boat were conveyed to our Custom-house, and the man now lies in the Bridewell awaiting the order of the Board of Customs.
Yesterday evening as Mr.Carly, of the Robin Hood, was returning in his pony cart from Romsey fair, the horse took fright and dashed the vehicle with such force against a cart as to throw him with great violence into the road. We are sorry to say he is seriously injured by the accident.
Yesterday, as some labourers were digging for clay in thc garden of Mr.Figes, near Saint Mary's Church-yard, they discovered the perfect skeletons of two grown persons and a child. Conjectures are various on the subject, but we can trace no probable cause for tho bodies having been deposited there. That they have lain there a great number of years is quite evident from the appearance of the bones.
Newport. Aug.26.- The Collectorship of the Customs at Cowes, vacant by the resignation of John Ward, Esq. who is appointed to Dover, is, we hear, to be filled by ----, Hastings, Esq. the present Collector at Ramsgate.
Very many of our farmers bave finished their harvest, and it is expected that the others will do the same by the end of this week; so that it may be said we have had two harvests within one year, the commencement of that of last year being later than the termination of this. The wheat is abundant in quantity and excellent in quality, weighting, as we have heard, the almost unprecedented weight of 64 pounds per bushel. Of barley, oats, and beans, the crops are short, yet considerably improved by the last rains.- Game is said to be much more abundant than it has been for many years past, and our sportsmen are looking forward with much anxiety to Thursday next.
William Bower, of Ryde, a well-known character in that part of the island, was on Saturday last convicted by our Magistrates, assembled in petty sessions, of carrying and conveying contraband foreign brandy, and fined �100, which he was unable to pay, and therefore sent to Winchester gaol.

The Venison Dinnera which take place annually under the sanction of the Members of the County of Wilts and open to all their friends, were held on Monday last, at the Swan Inn, in Bradford; and on Tuesday at the Bear Inn, in Devizes. The company on both occasions was numerous and highly respectable.

B. Lethbridge.
Heath-poult Shooting.- Mr.John Ponton, of Uddens House, and Col. P.Hawker, had, last Thursday, the good fortune to get sixteen shots, at heath-poults, or black-game, and kill every bird. They found but eleven brace the whole day. (This was on the borders of Dorsetshire, where the greatest day's sport before on record was, we believe, seven brace.)
The Return Cricket Match between the Shaftesbury and Blandford Clubs, was decided on Wednesday last in a meadow adjoining the town of Blandford, belonging to E.B. Portman, Esq. who acted as umpire for the Blandford players: R.C. Buckland, Esq. for Shaftesbury. The Shaftesbury players won the match, as will appear by the following statement :- Blandford 1st innings 66 runs; 2d inns, 67: total 133: Shaftesbury 1st inns.69; 2d inns. 68; total 137 , with 6 wickets to go down. As the Blandford beat Shaftesbury in a former match, it is expected there will be another played shortly bt the parties, and great interest is excited as to its result.

The wickets to be pitched at 10 o'clock.- The match will be played in a field adjoining the residence of Mr.H.Stroud, at Spetisbury, and at the conclusion of the match, racing and other amusements will commence. - The amateur band of the Spetisbury Society will attend on the occasion.

Her perfomance of religious and moral oblilgations in the days of health, although of so tender an age, contributed the blessing of a calm resignation to the divine command during the period of her iIIness, and particularly at the awful moment of her dissolution: her duty and affection to her parents, her sympathetic feeling for the distressed, and her endearing manners to every one, gained the love and esteem of all her acquaintance.
On the 13th instant died, beloved and respected by all who knew her, leaving a small family to deplore her loss, Lucy, wife of Mr.Sturgess, of West Cholderton, in this county, and fourth daughter of Mr.John Waters, of Park House Inn.

On Sunday evening, the 21st instant, as Mr. Edward Miller, of Sherborne, was returning home between eight and nine o'clock, he was stopped on East Hill, near Milborne Port, by two men in carter's frocks, who demanded his money, and threatened his life. After they had taken all his money from him, (which fortunatley was but little,) they started towards Henstridge. He immediately procured assistance at Milborne Port, and went in search of them, but it was fruitless.
On Saturday the 20th instant, at a petty sessions held for the borough of Wareham, John Gritten and Hannah Kennedy, publicans, at Wareham; were convicted by the magistrates in the penalties of 50s. each, and costs, for suffering tippling in their houses during divine service on the previous Sunday; and William Weathers, the younger, Wm.Whitland, John Marsh, Hugh Bagg, and Geo.Turner, were severally convicted in the penalties of 3s. 4d. each and costs for tippling in the aforesaid houses on the same day. It is hoped that the public disgrace and penalties attending these convictions will operate a. a warning to those idle and profligate persons who habitually spend their Sundays in a disorderly and irreligious manner, as well as on such publicans as are too often found encouraging all that is licentious and bad.

At a meeting of magistrates at Devizes on Tuesday, Thomas Hall and Job Huntley were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, on a charge of having robbed an orchard belonging to ErnIe Warriner, Esq. at Conock.
