This alteration wi.l afford an accommodation to the ;nealbers of the profession long required. The new chambers .vlrich have been erected for the Judges are also such as to command tLe approval of all persons. The profession are larg e ly i n d e bt e d to t h e L earne d Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions (Sirjeant Adams), to whose indefatigable, indeed un ceasing, exertions these mueh desired improvements are owing, :knd who, if report speak truly, is even now negotiating with the Government with the view of procuring the adaptation of the Hall of Serjeants',lnn to the use of the Equity sittings of the Court of Exchequer, and fer the further purpose of havim, the requisite accommodation for counsel and solicitors. The whole expense ed currying those henoliel i tl improvements into •ffect will not exceed the sum of 2,0001. So wormly do both oranches of the legal profession enter into the proposition of Learned Seadeanf., that t:lev have forwardel a memorial to he Lords of the Treasury, through Lord Abinger, the Ciri..f Limn upon the subject. It is much to be hoped that nu :rarty or petty spleen will be allowed to prevent a plan in very way so greatly to be desired, from being carried into effect.

On' Wednesday last, at half pa t five o'clock, wer't tt assist his wife in clean'ng up the offices, and lo tnd the prisoner, who had been formerly employed in that way, ta.L'ter to her. The prisoner offered to sweep out one of the OffiCes, and asked witness to go for a pot of half-and half. He refuge(' to do to, and got a hint from his wife to latch the prisoner, who was after no good, as there was ,!iron to expert front the rattling of some keys in the lark. Wit-hoc:is nroeured a light, and found the prisoner at one of the desks. He pushed her away, and found that the desk tv::s open, and that there was in it a tin case onntaining some small keys, which it was evident the pri sown- had removed in the dark, and which were the keys of the desk in the Coast-office. The solicitor to the Custom House slated that fUr some time complaints had been made that plunder had been committed in the offices, and it appeared to be most probable that 01z.: thefts had been acted by pa-- sons who had had opportuniti.s of knowing the practice ,f the officers. The prisoner liad beau pfetiously em ployed in the establishment, end hav:iig been discharged yt consequence of sosp'eion entertained of her •integrity, bad no business whatever upon the premises.. . The prisoner said she was asinuocent as the baby unborn . of ill-ntention. She knew - nothing of the desk, and never hard or saw any let's and as for money being safe in her presence, she well rcmmbered when she was employed in the offices having seen sov,rAgn upon soverign lying about, and she used to mention how im proper it was to leave money in people's way. Mr. Haste bad never in his life hear.l that money was lying about the desks, and believed that nothing of tin 'cind ever took plaea. The LORD 111:.soron had no doubt whatever that it had been the intention of the prisoner to plunder the de4ks. His Lordship then sentenced her to Bridewell for one month for baying been upon the premises under circunt (tances of suspicion, with intent to commit a robbery. A young min of respectable appearance w brcught up by JosephKilby, the beadle of Devonslire-square, Bishops-' gate. The beadle went to Leader.hal!-market on Satur day night with his nife and si,ter, for tha purpase of mak ing a purchase. He, however, was not long in the plati!:, when he found the left haul of the prisoner in his !less's) right-hand outside coat pocket, where there hap pened to be nothing but keys. He immediately collared the prisoner, and a woman came to the door of one of the shops and stated that the place was ove•run with thieves and bad characters, and witness tf,ok away the prisoner, who (lid all he could to induce bin to let him go, to the Compter. The father of the prig mar, having aftet wards ascertained where, the young man was, told witness that the lad's mother was in fits about the bu,iaess, and then witness, after considerable trouble, suceeeded in procuring an Alderman's temporary discharge on Sunday right. The LORD MAYOR (to the beadle)—Are you sure that he had his hand in your pocket P Baadle—l am sure of it. The prisoner most solemnly assured the LORD MAYoR that he never touched the beadle until the beadle collared him. The fact was, he saw two women following the man, and judging that the best way out of a crowd was to folloW an officer, he did so, and, to his greAt surprise, he felt himself suddenly collared by the beadle, who immediately afterwards charged him with having attempted to pick his pocket. The LORD MAYOR (to the beadle)—Had you that uni form coat upon you at the time ? Beadle-1 had. The LORD MAYOR—Very odd that a young man should attempt to pick an officer's pocket, 13 adle—Ho had his hand in my pocket, I swear. The Rev. Mr. flake, Rector of Rotherhithe, believed there was not in London a more respectable and honest young man 'than the prisoner ; and asked the beadle whether he had not said to Anderson, a turnkey, in the Compter, that he might have mistaken the young man ? Beadle—No. I said that at times mistakes might have been nvide ; but there was no mistake in this. The father of the lad offered him anything to let it be settled. The prisoner's lather—l deny that altogether. Mr. Blake could brine- a hundred respectable persons from Rotherhithe to testify to the excellence of this young man's character. Mr. C. K. Cooke, of Rotherbitho, schoolmaster, knew the prisoner from the lad's infancy, and was convinced that nobody was more incapable of the conduct attributed to him. A more horpzt and upright young man could not be found. The LORD MAYOR—There must be a mistake upon the part of Ihe officer. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, I ih'nk• it cannot be otherwise. There is not the least imputation upon the charatt r of the young roan, but this will operate upon him as a caution to koep out of crowds ; it will &so show him the necessity of ma:nt dining r good character in so,iiet y.—The prisoner then left tho justice-room with his friends.

On Mcnday the prosecutor en!ertaitted a party at his house, and in the course of the evening, having occasion to proceed to the kitchen, the cook appeared greatly agitated, and a noise was heard in the area, and on proceciin,, ,, thither the prisoner was discovered secreted in the coal hole, and a silver spoon was lying near him. On be-ing questioned he was much elnrused, and gave a very lame account of Mmself, saying that he h,td called to see the female servant. He was given into custo.ly, and the cook was instantly turned out of the hou:o. Mr. BitNNErT asked whether he was known at all ? Mr. Daves—l-le is a perfect stranger. • Mr. BENNETT—H we you mined any other propeAy ? —Mr. Davies replied that part of the pl ►to i•ad Lem missing. Mr: BENNETT said it was a very suspicious case.

While there they heard one of the yoon; Mies coming down stairs, when she (the cook) said she would be ruined if he was seta there, and she cored him into the coahhole. He declared solemnly that he was innocent of any intention to commit robbery. Mr. BENNETT, under the circum•tances, could not part with the prisoner until further inqui in were made, and he was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

But finding that sbe was at home he went up into the room, and there he observed the pig performing its necessary evolutions kfere a blazing fire. He did not say a word, but left, and ut, - ;cting a policeman informed him of the circumstance. • Jones, G 112, accompanied the list witne s to No. 29, Ironmot,gcr,strcet, when he took Mrs. Farley to the-sta tion-house along with the which he hld some din - lenity in extri:!ating from the spit.

BatWs popular opera a - the Siege of liorlielle so rich in vocal and ins:rumental music, afforded the holiday folks amuse ment of the best description. The house was crowded beyond any thing seen at Christmas during the last ten or twelve veers. Miss Romer and Mazer sang with excellent effect, and were deservedly applauded. The new panto.iime, which succeeded the opera, is, in point of fancy and vigour of imagination, all the javenile branches of families can desire. It is called Har lequin Jack-a Lantern, or the Witch if the Dropping IVc/11 The interest of the piece depends in some measure upon the well-known ignis fauns, or the luminous flame frequrntiy. seen in the night in different country places. It is caned Jack with the Lanthorn, or Will of the Wiep. This is sup posed to be occasioned by the extrication of phosphorus from rotting leaves, and other vegetable matters, but in the pento mime we have to cotice it is the effect of witchcraft. The bills of the drama gave a concise programme of the business. Sir Palinore, a young Norman Knight ( Howell), ship wrecked on the coast of Yorkshire, is dri en by a \Vitch ( Mr. M•lan) to the deliverance of Griselda ( Miss Lane), confined by Udobrand, a magician, in his castle. The Knight is assisted by Jack u ' Lantern (Wielaed) and his attendant spirits. After various battles, the Magician is conquered, and the Princess liberated.. The Witch then decides that the I.atie ties shall assume the Pantomime eharaAers, sat the business runs on iti the usual way. The scenery is bcautitul, exhibiting spirited views of public places of resort, among which the fol lowing arc entitled to notice 1—" The Dropping 'Well, near Knaresborough," " A View on the Borders of 11..rhar4)," " The Load of Hay Public-house," and " Cowes, in the Lie of Wight." The Ilarlequie ( Howell) is an able represe:i,;ta.ive of the motley . hero. In point of graceful agility he may claim fist tank amongst the iiglit-bMNI I atetnity. Alki Lane personated Columbine with succe.s. She is an excellent dancer. The tricks are rot remarkable for ingenuity or novelty. In a hey field two of the cocks are turned i its fighting cocks. Oee wears a wig, and the other is a Tory. '1 licy fight, much to the amusement cf the audience, and the :cif/ coat is floored. A steeple-chase afferds fine sport. A beokiellet's shop dis plays a notice that the Pension List is sold within. The Clown brings it out and it extends across the stage. The h . nase adjoining the bookseller's is kept b, \Tittle Jarvey, end the whole of the Pension List is swallpalei by the True Sun over his door. The whole concluded by a grand moving panorama, exhiting Quoen 14.:lizabeth's Royal Visit t) the City. The coronation of Elizabeth is also described in admi rable style. The moving of the figures, and the excellent Intoner in which they are painted, afford s eisfaction to the audience. All the ancient buildings on the banks cf the Thames are displayed with exceLent effect, The audi ence eipse - sed their approhatiou cf the whole by reiterated applause.
