      Mraisr ahosostthbCosvicisat Wooewicbv-On Saturf day the convicts who had been at work during the ' day in the dockyard , on their return to ' the ? War-, rior convict ship , where they sleep during the night , showed symptoms of insubordination and defiance of their guards , by several of the gangs rushing into one of the compartmeats set apart for one gang , and refusing to separate and po to their proper places until their grievances were redreased . . The mutinous convicts , ' about 130 in number , complain that the authorities' have broke faith with them , aB certain'periods had been fixed when , if they conducted themselves well in the interval , they'would -be sent out of this country , and obtain tiokets of leave on their arrival at their destination . 'The . time at which several of the convicts expected they would have been sent but of the

      country having been exceeded , owing to . the difficulty experienced by the authorities in finding localities where that class would be received , has been the cause of the present insubordination . - The whole of the convict guards were kept on board the ship during the night , in oase of any outbreak . On Monday , ' Captain Whitty and several of the authorities from London visited the Warrior , and examined several of the ringleaders , but the result of what took place has not been made known . The mutiny among the convicts at Woolwich * became quite ^ intolerable betwixt twelve and one o ' clock . on Tuesday , when they returned from their work in the dockyard to take their dinner on board the-Warrior convict ship . They no . sooner entered the ship then they rushed down and took possession of two of the decks , 'defying the guards or any of the military to come near them , at the same time singing , cheering , and

      swearing , and some who had got hold of pipes and tobacco commenced smoking . The guards were threatened in such a manner that they represented to Mr . Masterman that it would be dangerous to go out with the convicts in the afternoon , if examples were tot made of some of them . Captain the Hon . Montagu Stopford , acting superintendent , was immediately communicated with , and the aid of the guards of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines called on board , and the guards in . charge of the convict ^ with drawn cutlasses , went below and brought up and heavily ironed thirty-eight of the moat outrageons , - and disarmed them of the knives , forks , and sharpened files , of which they nad by some means become possessed . Twenty of the convicts were , in the course of the afternoon , conveyed to London in the police vans sent down to Woolwich for the purpose , and safely secured in Millbank Penitentiary . The other eighteen were also heavily ironed and taken on board the Wye in the river . . .

A fourth horse is also in a . very preoa ^ ious state , and not-likely to recover ^ ' It isnot said that , any , one | is suspected to' have Intentionally or otherwise administered the poison . Thereis , however , a very reprehensible , practice

      amongst farmers' servants of drugging their , masters ' horses for the purpose of making their BkinB . look sleek and smooth , and in good condition . Several old " cads and . castaway jockies are said to be going about the . country selling farmers' servants' receipts for horse constitution balls , and other nostrums for drugging horses , and that the . waggoners get these prescriptions made up at druggists , at their own expense , the ingredients often being-of a-very dangerous nature , and highly injurious to the horses .

King and hiscompanionfremthe hedges on eaoh side of the road . Mr . King begged that they would not maltreat the lady . The villains , however , 'beat her with bludgeons until she became insensible , accompanying their violence with the most revolting brutality / 'Mr . King offered the robbers all his money and valuables , but

      implored of them to coiam . it no more violenoe .- la consequence , however , of his having no considerable sum on his person , the robbers proceeded to further brutnlity and a blow from one of the' ruffians laid open his skull . The fellows then decamped over the hedge of a field . - The unfortunate gentleman and lady when diaoovered'were in a pitable plight . Both the sufferers remainin a very critical state . On Monday night , shortl y after ten o ' olook , Mr . Samuel Latham , rent-collector was attaoked ' by ^ highwayman as he was on his way home to Darlton , 'about three miles from Nottingham . After walking half the distance in safety he overtook a man who appeared to be intoxicated , who , however , , dealt him unseen a tremendous-blow pn the head with a life-preserver . Mr . Latham turned'iipon the fellow quickly , but received a second blow on the head before he was sufficiently on his guard to prevent it . The force of the second stroke , however , was hot'so Severe as the first , in consequence of his having weakened hia , assailant by dealing him a tremendous blow on the ^ side of the

      head with a thick walking-stick he carried m- his hand . The combatants then closed , Mr . Latham ^ hugging his adversary and biting his face severely , making him cry for the assistance of three comrades who lay in a hedge bottom close by .- These fellows rushed to the rescue , and found Mr . Latham lying his full length upon the highwayman , and biting him savagely . He was throttled oft by the accomplices , who , having released their comrade , ran off together , without attempting either to rifle Mr . 'L atham ' s pockets or to retaliate the punishment he bad inflicted upon his first assailant . Both-were covered with blood ,. which flowed freely from Mr . Latham ' s head and from , the highwayman ' s face and hose . They no doubt thought he was loaded with a large sura of money he had been > collecting during the day ; but they were mistaken ; ' as -he''had ! left It behind him at Nottingham . About * the-same-. -time ' Mr . Joshua Driver was attacked in North-street ; 1 Nottingham , by a powerful fellow , but a cry being raised the desperado decamped without effecting the robbery he intended . ;
