The _prosscutor replied that he had received a most excellent character with him from a milliner , residing in the Bl acbfriars-road , with whom he had lived about nine months . ilr . T wyford £ ? id thatmight account for his exquisite taste in disguising himself as a young lady of fashion . The prisoner , by order ofthe magistrate , then took off his bonnet , which caused considerable meiriment in court , his hair being croppod inthe fashion of a boy . Daniel Curran , a hatter , residing at C 2 , Brunswick-street , _BladtSiars-road , stated that on Friday last the prisoner , who was then dressed as a boy , came to bis house and engaged a room , at Ss .

Gamble , who was for many years in the confidential employ of the late and present Mr . French , was indicted as principal , and Bodill was prosecuted as accessory . The prisoners were apprehended , and their dtlia _jUency detected , mainly through the instrumentality of police-sergeants Whall and Gray . Their expensive mode of living , apparently without any ostensible means of subsistence , drew the attention of the police npen thera , and after much trouble and ingenuity , as every
precaution was taken by one or other of tlie prisoners to elude detection , the police succeeded in obtaining evi . _dence of their guilt . Mr . French was apprised of the information obtained by the police , but although he had . discharged the prisoner Gamble only a few days before his apprehension , he hadno suspicion that he had plundered Mm to the enormous extent which inquiry afterwards proved .

CLERKENWELL . TUESPAT . —CHABGE OF _BlCAHT AND ROBBEBT . —Mr . Thomas Wright , a fashionably-dressed young man , who . described himself as a master chair-maker , was charged with hisamy _, also with robbery , and with attempting to obtain goods on false pretences . It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix , Miss Lydia _Emeiy , a genteel-looking young woman , was on a visit at the house of a respectable housekeeper in the City-road in March last , ¦ where the prisoner was in the habit of visiting . An intimacy grew up between them , and the p risoner , representing himself as a single man in good circumstances , proposed marriage . The proposal was accepted , and they were married soon after in ' Shoreditch church . They lived together nntil August last , when a person whom she didnqt know went np to her in the street , and told her
that the prisoner had been previously married , and tbat his wife was alive . Her suspicions were excited , and recollecting tbat the prisoner had cautioned her against visiting Ms sister , who he said was a very bad character , she went to her , and was by her informed that the prisoner had been previously married at Xonwell , in Buckinghamshire , where his lawful wife then lived . The prosecutrix then left him , and in order to screen herself from the prisoner , took lodgings , under a feigned name , at 30 , Jnd-place , City-road . He , however , found out her abode , and strove to persuade ber that although he had been previously married , he had been divorced by the magistrates of _Nottingham , and was , therefore , her lawful husband . He promised to cherish her . more kindly than erer if she returned to live with him , and wroto some letters to her , j which were read in court , breathing the most romantic
attachment . She was , however , inexorable , and , finding this , he went to her lodgings , and , in her absence , with a forged order , purporting to be written by her , and addressed to the landlady , Mrs . Wilson , attempted to obtain all the furniture and other property belonging to the pro-. secntrix . llo had a cart and horse , hut the landlady , hav . ing been _previcnsly cautioned , refused to deliver thera np .

. inghamsMre was produced , and also of the second in Shoreditch church . Sergeant Lester , 10 E , made a statement , from which it wonld appear that the prisoner is a regular Count Fathom , having been chiefly engaged for years back in intrigues with women . He seduced the daughter of a respectable fanner in _Nottinghamshire , and was on the point of marriage with the daughter of a respectable tradesman in St . Luke's , about three months before his marriage with Miss Emery .

SOUTHWARK . Monday . —Tiibeatesing Lettebs . —Henry Killerby , an apprentice to Mr . Lewis , printer , of Finch-lane , in the City , who has been out on bail , charged on suspicion with sending threatening letters , some of them containing poison , to several of the inhabitants of St . George ' s , Southwark , appeared iu discharge of his sureties to answer the alleged offence . It will be recollected that in the early part of last month an spplication was made at this court "b y the householders of St . George ' s parish , Southwark , relative to several anonymous letters , some of them containing oxalic acid , having been received by some of the _parishoners . The letters were couched in language of the most threatening nature . A communication of a similar tendency had been transmitted by the same writer to the
parish clerk of St . George ' s church , urging him to give utterance to certain slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs , during divine service , and threatening to set fire to the edifice if he did not comply . These infa . mous epistles naturally created a very considerable sensation in the parish , and eventually the prisoner Killerby , a youth , the son ofa tradesman in White-street , near St . George ' s church , was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer . When brought before Mr . Cottingham on that occasion , the prisoner ' s writing was compared with that of the anonymous letters , and although there was a similarity , still there was no person in attendance who could speak with confidence to tbe identity _. In the course of the examination it transpired that the accused was in the habit of attending in the belfry , and assisting in the ringing ofthe bells , and that while
speaking to one of the men on the subject of the anonymous letter received by the parish clerk , he ( the prisoner ) gave utterance to language wliich would lend to the supposition that he was well acquainted with the writer , and lie requested the party with whom he held the conversation not to mention the circumstance to any person . After the examination of numerous witnesses , the accused simply giving a denial to the charge , Mr . Cottingham remanded himfor a month on bail . When theprisoner was placed at the bar on Monday , Mr . Cottingham , addressing Sergeant Kendall , of the A division , asked whether any further discovery had been made . —The sergeant replied in the affirmative , and said that the foreman of
the prisoner ' s employtv was in attendance , and that he was in a condition to distinguish his hand-writing with tolerable accuracy . —Mr . Cottingham then directed the anonymousletters addressed to Miss Spriggs , Mr . Humble , and Mr . Bowling , to be handed to the witness , in order to ascertain if he could speak with any degree of certainty as to the hand-writing being that of the prisoner . —The witness , whose name is Edward John Tyrrell , and who is foreman to . Mr . Lewis , Finch-lane , piintcr , having carefully examined the letters placed in his hands , stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief they were in the prisoner ' s hand-writing . The prisoner was then remanded .
_Thdbsdat . —A Rctfiajj Policeman . —A policeman , named Corcoran , of the M division , was charged before Mr . Cottingham with committing an assault of an aggravated nature on Martha Wright . The complainant stated that she is an unfortunate girl , and that on Monday morning , between four and five o ' clock , she was walking home to her lodgings in Kent-street , with another girl , when tbe defendant came up and desired them to go on quicker . They proceeded along , when the defendant , without giving any provocation , came up and struck the complainant , and tore her bonnet off her head . She turned round to remonstrate , when she was again assaulted by the defendant , who struck her a blow on her nose , which made it bleed , and he also kicked her . She then ran into the house where she lodged , to escape from further violence , andhad not since seen her bonnet .
She added that , as she was outside the court that morning , waiting to be called in to give her evidence , a man came up toher , and , having spoken to her about the transaction , gave her 10 s . for the loss of her bonnet , at the same time saying that there was no occasion for her to remain there any longer , as the case was disposed of _. She further said tbat on previous occasions she had been assaulted by the defendant , although she was not aware of having given him any cause for it . The complainant '* : evidence as to the assault on the morning iu question was corroborated by the young woman who was in her company at the time , and the landlady of the house in which she lodged proved that on her entrance her nose
was bleeding . The latter witness also mentioned the uncalled-for abuse uttered by the defendant towards herself , when she remonstrated on the violence exercised towards the complainant . The defendant denied having assaulted the complainant in the manner described . — Mr . Cottingham , after baring made some remarks on the conduct pursued to women in the complainant ' s unfortunate situation , against whom all hands were raised , and who rarely had a friend to appear on their behalf , said that they were entitled to the same protection as other females , so long as they conducted themselves peaceably in their miserable calling . He should sentence the prisoner to * one month's imprisonment . —Committed accordingly .
MARYLEBONE . Feidat . —7 A Heabiiess Scoundrel . —A considerable degree of interest was excited at this court , in consequence of it having been the day appointed for the reexamination of the joung man , Edward Chandler , who was brought up on Thursday and on Saturday last , before Mr . Long , charged with having robbed Miss Caroline Amelia Bobbins , residing at No . 4 , King-street , Kensington , to whom he had promised marriage . —Mr . Buncombe attended for the prisoner . —The evidence given on thc first occasion went to show that the prisoner had courted the prosecutrix ' upward of three years , and was to have married her on Monday , the 27 th ult . She had been informed by him that he had put upjphe banns some weeks previously at Paddington Church ; and it was understood that they were going into business in the
coffee-shep line in a street near Tottenham-court-road . At an early hour on Monday morning she met him at Paddington , when he told her that she had better leave her shawl atMrs . Thomas ' s , close by , and as the church doors werenotthen open , he directed her to go to a coffee-shop , which he pointed out , saying that he would get ready and be with her directly . In a short time he made his appearance , and they partook of coffee and toast , which he requested that she would pay for ; upon which she took out her purse , containing £ 115 s . in gold and silver , and laid it on the table . He took up the said purse , and after paying for what had been furnished , went off , under pretence of fetching her ( prosecutrix ' s ) brother George , who was to be present at the ceremony , but he neglected to return , and she saw no more of him until the next Wednesday night , when he was taken into custody by _Hillsden , 42 S , while dancing at the Jew ' s Harp public-house , Edward-street , Regcnt ' s-park . A
portion of the money which he carried oil'had been borrowed by her ofa female friend , as he said he had not enough ready cash by him to pay the wedding day ' s expenses ; and he had also obtained of her a hat , which she borrowed of her brother for him , in order that he might appear respectable at the altar . Prosecutrix , in her cross-examination by Mr . Buncombe , said , "I never told the prisoner to pawn my shawl for the purpose of enabling him to redeem a pair of boots . He and I never lived together as man and wife . "—Prisoner : Did you never _^ sleep with me !—Prosecutrix : No , indeed I never did . Prisoner : —You did , Caroline . —Mr . W . Hogg , the parish clerk of Paddington , proved that no instructions had been given with regard to the publishing of the banns ; he had not seen the prisoner before to his _knowledge . The prisoner stands committed for trial upon ? Iiree charges , but will be brought up again on Thursday next , ' . ' - ..

Clive , on a warrant , at the instance ofthe parish officers of Kensington , for having neglected aud refused to maintain his wife . The defendent , a fashionably-dressed young man , pleaded not guilty . Mr . Madden deposed that he was relieving officer for the parish of Kensington . The defendant ' s wife , who was a French woman , 22 years of age , who could not speak a word of English , had on the previous day applied for and received relief , and was now an inmate ofthe workhouse . On the previous day ( Thursday ) an application was made at the court , on the part of the wife , by some friends who had taken up her cause , and they referred to him ( Mr . Madden ) , and in consequence oftheir application to bim he had called on tbe defendant , who most positively refused to do anything for his wife . —The defendant , in answer to the charge , said that in August last he went to
France , and on his return to this country he brought with him a French nursery-maid , with whom he subsequently cohabited , and eventually married . —Mr . Clive asked the defendant when he had married his present wife !—The defendant said , if he was allowed to refresh his memory from a memorandum he had in his hand , he should be mors correct as to dates .

• o France , on a visit to her friends , and after her departure he ( defendant ) became so much worse- that he wrote , on the 2 _itlT 6 f October , to his wife in France , telling her that he considered she had been the cause of his disasters , and that he therefore could not live with her again , and that she had better remain in France . " Without , however , writiug to him , she at _oncefearne ' . " oyer , tWJti reached Loni don , he believed , on the 27 thof -October , The Wife was then called forward .. ' . ' SheV was a very pretty young woman , and was evidently enceinte , " She was informed by the magistrate , in the French language , of the nature of the accusation her husband had made against her , which she idignantiy denied ; and on Mr , Clive asking Mr . Gnazzaroul , the medical officer of the workhouse , who t o j . n ... . _ju- . - hm _;' * .
had been attending the wife since her admission , if there was in his opinion any grounds for the husband ' s charge , Mr . Gnazzaroni said he did not believe that tbe wife was so affected . It was here stated to the magistrate that there was a gentleman present who could prove thatthe defendant was affected before he went to France ; that witness was ordered to be called .. Mr . \ Villiam Taylor , who resided in the house where Messrs . Weave ' s offices were , deposed to the conduct of the lady being that of a virtuous woman , and , to his belief , that Mr . Wilson ' s disorder dated prior to his visit to Franco Mr . Clive , after commenting in severe terms on the infamous character of the defence set up by the prisoner , sentenced him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour .
LAMBETH , Tuesdat . —Charge or Abduction . —James Grant , a policeman belonging to the P division of police , No . 290 , appeared before Mr . Norton , to answer to an accusation of abduction , in taking away Elizabeth Cruret , a girl aged 15 years , aud concealing her from her parent . From the statement of the mother of the missing g irl , it appeared that she was the wife of Sergeant Everest , and had resided for some years with her husband and daughters by a former husband at the police stationhouse in Park-place , Lock ' s-fields . Some weeks ago she had discovered that a more than ordinary intimacy existed between the prisoner and hery oungest daughter Elizabeth , who W 3 S not more than fifteen years of age , and from that time she ( the mother ) had by words and acts done everything to prevent it , but notwithstanding all her
efforts they managed to meet . On Tuesday afternoon last the girl left her home in a very mysterious way , and from that time to the present njthing was heard of her , and though her mother and step-father had used the utmost exertions to find her out , they were unable to do so . — Grant , who seemed to treat thematter with great indifference , admitted meeting the girl at _Tauxhall-gardens and Other places , but denied knowing anything about her present place of residence , and declared he had not seen her since Friday last . —The mother said she was pefectly convinced Grant had seduced herdaughter , and prevailed upon her to leave her home . Mr . Norton remarked , tbat though the evidence was not sufficiently strong to establish
a charge of abduction against the accused , Grant , yet there was enough to excite considerable suspicion that he had induced the girl to leave her parents , and thathe was not ignorant of where she was . He ( Mr . Norton ) should , however , take care that thc matter should not rest where it was , but that the utmost inquiry should be made , and diligence used , to find out the missing girl . The magistrate here addressing Mr . Inspector Collier , requested that intelligent officer would cause the strictest inquiry to be made , with a view of discovering the girl , and that the result of such inquiries be made known to bim on a future day . The missing girl will , it appears , be entitled in a few years to £ 500 . '
THAMES . Tuesdat . —Heartless Case of Bigamy . — Stephen Prescott , a gun-maker , residing at Cleveland-street , Commercial-road , was charged with intermarrying with Fanny Lambert , his former wife , Jane , being still ahve . The case , as exhibited in the details , was a very distressing one . Itwas first brought under the cognizance of the court by Mr . Seaborne , the relieving-oflicer for Mile-End Old Town , to whom the complainant applied for assistance for herself and her baby when the prisoner abandoned her . Mr . Seaborne applied to the fellow on the part of the parish , demanding an allowance for his wife and child ; but he cavalierly replied that she was no __ wife ofhis , another woman had a previous claim upon him . — Mr . Seaborne told him such an admisssion placed him in a very strious position , aud he was _^ ultimately
taken into custody on the present charge —The complainant , an exceedingly interesting , young woman , . with an infant about four 0 _? five months old in her arms , entered the witness-box , but was so _overpowered'that she nearly fainted away in the arms of the usher . -The child was handed to a friend who accompanied her , and she wasaccommodated-withachairat the clerk ' s table . It was painfully _curiouiito observe the conquest of mind over body , as the complainant , holding oh by the chair and table , gave her evidence in a manner so calm and distinct as to win the sympathy of the entire court . The contrast between her and the prisoner was as great as could _t-e imagined . He was a wretched-looking fellow , not able to write his name , whilst her manner and language exhibited no little cultivation . Police constable Johnson , 296 R , stated that he
apprehended the prisoner on the 20 th ult ., on the information of the complainant , who accused him of having another wife at the time he married with her . The prisoner , who was then lodging in Cleveland-street , denied that he had been married previously , but a woman , who was living with him at . the time , was pointed out to witness as the first wife . The constable asked the woman if such was the case , but , before she could answer , the prisoner told her to deny it , which she accordingly did . Since the prisoner was first before the court , witness had been to Birmingham , and procured a true copy of the registry ofhis marriage , wbich took place by banns , at St . Philip ' s Church , to Jane Smart , on the 3 rd of March , 1833 . He also produced a certificate of his marriage with tlie complainant ,
at Limehouse Church , in July , 1844 . The compbinant said she was married to the defendant on Sunday , the 7 th of July , 1844 , at Limehouse Church . Five months after that marriage , she discovered , by letters in the prisoner ' s box , that he had another wife living . When she taxed him with it , he admitted the fact , and said his former wife was an abandoned woman , who had a child by another man before he married her . He often told complainant , in the presence of several persons , that she wasnot his wife , as she was previously married to another , When the prisoner was arrested , complainant saw this woman , who she understood had been brought up from _Birmingham to take her ( complainant ' s ) goods , and swear robbery against her . He left her alter the birth of her child , _ab- _j ut five months ago . The prisoner was remanded .

Mondav . —ExTitAOBDiNAfiY _Raii _. wai Robberies . — Charles George Maynard was indicted , and theindictment charged that whereas oue Daniel Garratt , alias John Garratt had , on the 15 th July / stolen a writing-ease , containing valuable securities _^ the property of Vaughan France , and that the prisoner had accompanied and aided tho said Saniel Garratt , in the commission of the said felony . In a second count the prisoner was charged with receiving the writing-case and its contents , well knowing it to have been stolen . Garratt , who had pleaded guilty , was also placed at the bar . Mr . ClaThson and Mr . Bodkin conducted the prosecution and Mr . Ballantine defended the prisoner Maynard . Mr . Clarkson stated the
facts of thecase . In the month of July last Mr . Prance was a passenger by the Great Western Railway , and amongst other luggage had a leathern _wrijting-case _, which contained money , and valuable securities to-the amount of upwards of £ 1 , 000 . This writing-case was missing on tbe arrival of the train at Paddington ; and Mr , Prance advertised his loss , offering a reward fur the restoration of the property , On the 12 th of July Mr . Prance , who was staying at Morley ' s Hotel , received a letter , which would be proved to be in the hand-writing ofthe prisoner Garratt , and a draft of wbich had been found at the house of the prisoner Maynard . The letter was as follows : — "Saturday , July 12 , 1845 .
"Sir—Your writing-desk , with leathern case , containing many promissory notes and bills of exchange , is safe . A liberal reward must be paid for its restoration . The present holder of the documents will search out an agent whose respectability and responsibility is ungues _, tion able ; and you must satisfy yourself by his references that he can be entrusted to negotiate an affair of so confidential a character , as it must be passed through some agency . You will please to reply to this letter in the Mbnung - Post thus ;—" Alpha will give £ if all the papers are restored safe . " This advertisement will be understood ; none but principals will be allowed to interfere . " In accordance with the terms of this letter , Mr . Prance caused another advertisement to be published in the Morning Post to this effect : —
" Alpha is at Morley ' s Hotel , but will leave Paddington for B . at two o ' clock to-morrow . Subsequent events have altered the value of the papers lost , which Alpha , in an interview can easily show , but a suitable reward is not objected to . —July 21 . " ' Mr . Prance , in answer to this advertisement , received the following letter , in Garratt _* s handwriting : — ¦• July l 8 , 1815 . "Unless an advertisement , offering a suitable reward , appears in . the Morning Postou Tuesday next , the valuable documents will be no lohger under my control , and will be irrevocably lost to yon . " . 7 This letterwa _5 followed by another , which wouldbe proved to be ill the hand * riting of the prisoner Maynard , and which was in these _ttnns ;—
" July 23 , 1815 . "Sir—The agent whom I have solicited to arrange the matter referred to in the Morning Post of to-day , is , unfortunately , at Sandhurst , Kent , and will not return till Saturday morning next ; but I will address a letter to him to-morrow , which he wUl answer to yonr residence at B ., and you must name the amount of reward you will give for them . They are , nevertheless , of real value ; say , instead of three dots after the £ ... fill up tho sum in letters . " "¦ All these communications were addressed by Mr . Praiice to the Great Western Railway Company , and shortly afterwards he received a letter from the prisoner Maynard , purporting to come from Sandhurst , though it would be . shown at the time he was not at Sandhurst at all . The letter was in these words ;—"Sandhurst , July 24 , 1815 .
" A stranger called at my office last evening , and represented that ha . had found ft travelling writing-desk and contents , your property . He emphatically asserts that he did not obtain possession ofthe 6 ame dishonestly , for in fact he never received it at all . _Now , the party has requested me to see you upon the subject , and , if perfected through my agency , you will be " so good as _toaddreMa letter to my house , 19 , _Howland-street , _Pitwoy-Bquate , Loudon , stating the sum you will give on thopap _' era being given up into your hands . The party is evidently a shrewd man of business , and says ' the documents are -valuable , and further , that no good can be effected with _^ debtors , unless the creditor has them back again . He ha ? thrown out _^ hint that f 100 ought to be paid as a reward , but he wiU take « 6 _I _, which sum he will have paid

A correspondence was kept , on , and' eventually an appointment , with Maynard was made / and the rcsuit was that he was taken into custody at the Guildhall Coffeehouse , after he had produced the necessary . writing-case and its contents , with the exception of about £ 10 in cash . The learned counsel added , thatit would be proved that the two prisoners were in constant communication with each other , and other facts would be proved to show that they were closely allied and connected with the guilty transaction . A number of witnesses were examined whose evidence fully substantiated the charge . The jury ,
after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of guilty of receiving the property , knowing it to have been stolen . A former conviction of May nn _' rd was proved in 181 G . The Common Sergeant sentenced _Gai-ratt to he transported for seven years ; and Maynard to be transported for fourteen years . ' Theprisoner Garrattwas again placed at the bar , when Mr . Bodkin called the attention of the court to the fact that he had pleaded guilty to no less than six other indictments . The learned counsel had made a statement in writing , which he ( the prisoner ) desired to have read . Mr . Straight , the deputy . clerk of arraigns , then read the following statement : —
. _*• Prison of Newgate , Oct . 31 , 1845 . " I feel it to be useless to make any attempt to defend myself against these cases , and I desire to plead guilty , although I did not myself take some of the luggage produced against me , but they came to me afterwards ; for instance ,- Dr . Darnel ' s , oh the Great Western , I did not have for some period after the time he stated they were lost , as I have explained to Mr . Nash . I regret that I was in the moment of inebriation tempted to embark in so dishonest a traffic ; but the first temptation having succeeded , I could only go on , and to habits of drinking
do I attribute my first false step ; for itwas only when elevated with liquor that I was tempted to meddle in these matters . But I beg to appeal to those kind noblemen and gentlemen with whom I for years lived , and some of whom are on the bench and in the court , as to my general character as a servant , Some of their testimonials arc in the possession of Mr . Nash , who I believe has ascertained that I bore the highest character . _Not withstanding the extent of these matters , lam left without a shilling ; my thoughtless and careless habits , my love of dress and drink , have brought me to this , and those who hare led me into it from an industrious course
of life , have the reflection of doing so , and then leaving me without even contributing one shilling to defend one whose purse and liberal treatment ( even to foolishness ) they always experienced ; and I leave them ' with that reflection on themselves , and on the insincerity of human nature , in the hour of need and peril to which they contributed . Had I followed the advice and example of my present wife ,. I should now be a respected member 01 society ; to her I shall ever feel great respect ( though I have deeply injured her who is an innocent sufferer ) j and to the governor of Newgate , Mr . Nnsh , and my attorney , I tender my thanks for their kind
consideration to her and my feelings , in the discharge of their duty to the public and to the companies whom Mr . Nash represents . "D . GAiuuTr . " Witness—VT _. G . Thwaites , solicitor , 4 , Lyon ' _s-inn . " ¦ The Common Sergeant said , his attention having been called to the fact that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to six other indictments , it became his painful duty to pass a further sentence upon one of them , and that sentence was , that he be transported for a further term of seven years , to be computed from the expiration of the former sentence .
Charge op CbiM > Murder . —Sarah HugheB was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child . It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of a Mrs . Maidham , living at _StokeNewington . On the morning of the 4 th of March she was noticed by Mrs . Maidham as looking excessively ill . She would not at first confess that she had given birth to a child , ' but she did so on her mistress threatening to call a doctor . The body of the child was afterwards found in a box in the coachhouse quite dead , and with a string round its neck . The indictment charged that death had been caused by strangulation , the string being tightened so as to cause its death . According to medical evidence the ribbon in question might have been put round the neck of the childby the mother for the purpose of facilitating parturition . It further appeared that divers baby clothes were found in a trunk belonging to the prisonor . The jury acquitted the prisoner . The poor girl , who had been in a fainting state during the trial , was carried out senseless .
Stealing a Wife , _icv—John Hopkins , a squalidlooking cabman , 24 years of age , stood indicted for stealing a chest of drawers and a great variety of other furniture and valuable effects , the property of James Freeman , in his dwelling-house . It appeared , by the opening of the case , that tbe prisener had , previous to the date of robbery , been an inmate as a lodger with Mr . Freeman , and his conduct gave him great satisfaction until the late occurrence , which had ruined his peace , of mind . The prosecutor , a respectable looking man , stated that during the prisoner ' s residence in his house he entertained no suspicion of his honesty , but unhappily for him he made a discovery which had completely disarranged his peace of mind and establishment in the world . 'He went out on the day ofthe robbery and did not return until late , when
to his surprise and regret he fovmd himself minus chairs , tables , bed , and indeed every valuable that was moveable . Upon inquiry he found thathis property hadbeen removed in a van , and the house was left to the care of the other lodgers . He found also that the prisoner had '' bolted . " Common Sergeant : In fact , sir , you found yourself divested of all your furniture ?—Yes , my lord . Common Sergeant : Nor was that all , I believe ? Mr . Freeman ( iu solemn tone ) : No , my lord ; my wife bad gone too ( laughter . ) This levity met with a deserved rebuke . The prosecutor then detailed the " ups and downs , " '' ins and outs , " which his footsteps had marked in * ' search of a wife , " and at the expiration of fifteen dayshefoundthem together , ' * snog tucked up . " The Court : I believe upon your own bed ? Mr , Freeman : Yes , my lord ; and all the furniture in the room was mine . The prisoner tried to make him believe that Mrs . Freeman exercised her oivn will , and said the furniture was hers—ho did not seem
to be aware that she " was not her own property . " The man who moved the "household stuff , " said that they acted under the lady , who engaged them , but the prisoner was present nt the unloading . J . Milne , the police constable who apprehended the prisoner , stated that he denied the robbery , and said Mrs . Freeman removed the goods . A gentleman of the bar reminded the court that it had been considered thnt , when the wife removed the property , her paramour was exempted from the larceny , Common Sergeant : Yes , but there is a case in the books where Mr . Justice Coleridge decided that , to steal a wife only was a felony— -she wearing her husband's apparel . Here was a stronger case , for the property ivas found on the prisoner . The Learned Judge summed up , and without much consideration thejury found him guilty . His Lordship said they sat there to protect the public against wrong-doers like the prisoner ; hence the judgment was , that he be kept to hard labour for one year .
Tcjesdat .--Cuabge of Swindling . —Maria Locke , 50 , the wife of a surgeon at Pimlico , and Edward and John , her sons , aged 19 and 14 , were indicted for conspiring to obtain , by false pretext seven pairs of shoes from George _Crawthorp , with intent to cheat and defraud hira thereof . The case has been fully given in the Queens-square reports . The stratagems by which the shoes were obtained wero reiterated , and the shoes were produced by a pawnbroker . They were pledged by a female on the day they wero obtaiaed . He would not swear that Mrs . Locke was the pensoD . The jury acquitted all the prisoners .
Edwin Locke and John Locke were indicted for attempting to obtain other shoes upon similar pretences , and with the like intent ; and Maria Locke was charged with counselling and encouraging her sons to commit the said larceny . The evidence was nearly an echo of that iu the last case . Mr . Huddlestone said that the prisoner at thc bar , down to tho time of this transaction , had borne a respectable character , and she stood charged with on offence ofa very grave description . The jury again acquitted them all . The Common Sergeant said there was another charge , but as the evidence was the same , it was Bcarcoly necessary to occupy further time . The jury ¦ _jiiitfi _asSMitcd , aiid the jpflsMerS were all declared not guilty . —They wore , then liberated from custody . The court , at its rising _. _^ djourned to Monday , the 24 th inst .

SOUTHWARK . _Satl-hoat . —Exteaobdinart Case . —Margaret King , a _prctty-lookiug young girl , was charged with creating a disturbance in St . Thomas's Hospital , under the following extraordinary circumstances : _—Police-constable 272 M said , that about eleven o ' clock last evening he was called to a house in Falcon-court , Borough , where lie was informed a young female had jumped out of the window . He immediately proceeded to the spot , and found the prisoner lying on the pavement . She said that she was much hurt , which caused hira to convey her to St . Thomas ' s Hospital . She was ordered to tlie accident ward , and undressed ; but as soon as the surgeons came round she jumped out of bed . and
threatened to knock them down if they touched her . Being satisfied that she _li . ici received no injury , tlie police were called in , and theprisoner was conveyed to the station-house . In answer to the charge the prisoner said that . . he was out of employment , and on thepreviousafternoon she had beep to Berm ondsey in search ofa situation . In returning to her lodgingsiu Marylebone she missed her way , and asked a gentlemanl y looking person to show her the way to London-bridge . He told her that he would , and asked her to partake of some refreshment ; being rather faint , and without money , she entered a public-house with him , and partook of some _gin-andwater and a biscuit . They afterwards left that house _, and entered a house near to where they were , ' which he said belonged to his sister . They had some more
liquor there , when the man attempted to _vialate her person . He assaulted her most violently , but she struggled with him , and got to the window , which she opened , and jumped out into the court beneath . In her fall she fortunately escaped any serious injury Mr . Traill asked the officer what sort of a house it was where the prisoner was found J The officer replied that it was a brothel . — Mr . Traill asked him whether there was any probability in the prisoner's Story ?—The officer said that she told the same story at the station-house , and from inquiries he made he believed that it was all true—Mr , Traill observed , that she ought not to have partaken of liquor from a stranger , and especially have entered a house with him . He hoped this would be a caution to her , and as she had suffered _sufficient punishment for her misconduct he should discharge her .

The Potatoe Failure . —Latest News .-Ireland . —Dublin , Nov . 6 . —Although some of the reports received to-day are much less desponding , and one or two are very favourable , there is , I fear , no real ground . for believing that the disease has been checked to any material extent . Where the operation of the blight is so capricious , it is almost a matter of course that there should be conflicting accounts ; but it is beyond all doubt that the disease is spreading over the whole country , and destroying , to a vast extent , the staple food ol millions of our people . This is a fearful state of things to contemplate , and requires the prompt intervention of the Executive , to avert the calamities of famine and pestilence . The weather is again unfavourable for the digging out of potatoes . It has been raining all day , and there seems little prospect ol a change ior the better .
FiuNCE .-rhe Reform states , that- " Provisions are every day becoming dearer in Paris .

HOYAL MAHYLEBONE THEATRE , This elegant and commodious theatre , under n auspices of Mr . Douglas , continues to enjoy an amii share of public patronage ; the inhabitants ofthe _westt district of the metropolis seem to appreciate the unceas _ir _* efforts of the management . A new two act dm _^ _- drama has just been produced—peculiarly suited tu \ x tastes ofthe usual visitors , entiled , Mary Campbell : < _* the Wife and Witness . The plot is of simple _constructs ' but well worked out . The piece- opens with a sort !• Dick Turpin carousal ; certain worthies of the road deter mine to fill their purses by nocturnal activity . . \ _, " Leyton arrives at the moment , and milks a gratuitous iU closure of his wealth ; JBartrum selects him as his victim lie is waylaid and , as we imagined , murdered—for in -h cottage of Mark Campbell he is secreted as dead , _uj
_. pocket-book containing a vast amount of notes , falls hr the hands of Campbell - and the poor man ' s temptation ia too great—though urged by tho honesty of the wife to make a restitution . At that moment the child callin . for bread , he determines to take from the dead to _saiisij the hunger of the living . He removes the bod y . _Pattruni has observed tliis from the window , and discovers tha , Mary Campbell is the very woman that formerly rejected his addresses , and made him the outcast that he is . 11 , resolves on her husband ' s ruin , and succeeds in procuring his arrest and arraignment as the murderer of Leyton . By an ingenious _manccuvre he obtains possession of th e old man ' s money ; thus armed , he makes vile proposal-, to Mary Campbell , which she with scorn repulses ; and as Sartrum is rudely dragging her from the _cottagellet
, llUSb . lIld , Who has escaped from conliuement , timel y rushes to her rescue— Campbell is again secured , and taken to prison to await his trial . The agony of the loving wife is finely pictured—she determines " on pre . venting the appearance in court of the only witness against her husband . Sho Obstructs his path , fires at and wounds him—and exultingly leaves hhn . The court ic sitting expecting the sole witness , who not appearing , tlio prisoner is acquitted ; at this moment _Bartriiin by : _i last effort reaches the hall of justice to tender evidence .- Th 9 unfortunate Campbell is about to be arraigned for the robbery , when one of Bartntm ' s associates , urged by the prattle of a child , denounces the real villains . Bartrim defies him to the proof , when by one of those strong iuti . deiits dramatic authors know how to invent , tlie sm > i _* _usctl
dead Leyton appears in court ; his assistants aro secured , and the innocent made happy . The foregoing is a sketch of the principal , though there is a minor plot , that materially aids the representation , iu which ilr . T . Lcc _: u Sam SwiveU _, and Miss L . Pearce , as Bell _Bidtcrfa-, _kctp the house in a continued roar of laughter . Their dancing duet , in act the second , was a fine comic effort and elicited a most enthusiastic encore . Mr . Uayncr as _JBuHrunv , looked and acted the character with ' infiliile . Spirit ; he forcibly reminds us ofthe late " Frederick Yate ? aud seems a thorough favourite with the audience . . Murk Campbell was played hy a Mr . C . Harrington ; . there is too much hauteur in his manner for the poor countryman , and too great striving at effort ; still the performance Has
very creditable . Aiessrs . Smitliers , Robberds , and Lewis , contributed tlieir mite to the general effect , but tiie gieat charm of the piece was the niann » r in which _Jfrs . _Cawphdl sustained her character—her love for her only child , lier manifest devotion to the welfare-of her husband , lier struggles iu poverty , and subsequent despair , wtre mas . terly touches of nature , that proved her a finished actress , and commands suceess . The piece is well put on tin stage . The scenery , by Mr . Neville , does him infinite credit . The drama was , as it deserves to be , cniiuentl ? successful , and cannot fail to have a long run .. The Death Ship is still attractive ; the excellence of Mr . Douglass as a British sailor we have before noticed . Uis descriptive hornpipe is indeed a gem .
The spirited lesse lias , this week , produced the Tragedy Of Macbeth , from the text Of Shakspeare , and with the music of Locke . The piece was put on the stage with that degree of taste whieh has gained so much fame for this establishment . Mr . Grattan Dawson , a _gentlemau , who earned considerable fame at the metropolitan minors about twelve months since was the Macbeth , and sustained the character with considerable ability throughout . His dying scene was true to nature and called down bursts of applause . Joseph Rayner , personated Macduff , and added by his able dclieneation of the character much to his well-deserved popularity . Mrs Campbell , with , wore thau her ordinary ability _sustaiiied | tlic character af Lady Macbeth . Locke ' s music was very creditably performed by Mr . _Seville , Miss I . Pearce , Miss Laporte , and a chorus exceeding thirty performers . Mr . Grattan Dawson , during his limited engagement , will sustain the round of Shaksperian characters . This gentleman bids fair to fiU up the gap left vacant by the demise of the lamented Elton .
THE CITY _THEATUE ,. . Under the lessecship and management , of Mr . and Ifrs . R . Honner , neatly fitted up , thoroughly _cleause & and _Tedccoruteil , attracts large audiences . The performances have been _Paiiiine , The Spitalfields Weaver , and The Revolt of La Vendee , The characters were ably sustained by Mr . and Mrs . 1 \ , Honner , J . Yf ehster , and Miss Lacey , who bids fair to become a brilliant star in thc profession . At tho conclusion of the first piece Mr . and Mrs . Honner , and Miss Lacey , was called te the foot-lights and greeted with the loud applause of a crowded audience .
Colosseum . — This is , without exception the most splendid exhibition in London . We may fairly say tliat art contends with nature for the palm of superiority . Tho conservatories are pleasing , and very prettily anil tastefully arranged . The caverns , Mont Blanc , and the waterfall , are magnificently imposing , The silence which reigns in the caverns is sublime , and broken onlv bv she dripping of a few drops of water , or . the trickling of some small stream from a stalactite , or the gurgling of some rill which seems to partake of the stillness , and to murmur in subdued tones as it disappears among the _rocks to find an . outletbyoue of the numerous subterraneous
passages . Everything seems infected with tiie quiet of the place ; no soener does a person- enter than he " speaks in subdued _^ whispers to his companions . The very air of the place seems still . The whistle of the wind is a Stranger to its aisles . We question whether ever a hearty laugh has been heard in its interior since it bas been opened . What a contrast is this with the waterfall , where the water leapsfrom rock to rock , or rebounds from them into tbe lake below with the noise of a cataract . All here is animation . Even the birds seem to flit wilh lightened wing , while the stillness of death seems to reign in the former place .
Rom Adelaide _Gaukih _.- —Professor Keller has , for the last week , been delighting the visitors to this place of amusement with his " Poses _Vlastiq-ata , " from the ancient masters . " The Triumph of the Eomans , " from David , is a most imposing piece . " The Gladiators , " from Canova , is a beautiful scene , and not less so is " Studies , " by L . Keller . The whole of the pieces are judiciously selected and exceedingly well sustained . The " Grand Tableau Final , " a national piece , by L . Keller , is a line display ; the whole is well worthy ofa visit .
