CHARGE OF STEALING A HORSE AND CAB.-- James Sanson, a cab driver, badge 6,251, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a horse and cab, the property of Mr. Henry Hill, a cab fro prietor. The driver of the cab, George Turner, badge 1(i,193, having first been charged with being drunk, and fined 10s. or seven days, James Newby, IGO C, s tid that about 2 o'clock this morning he was taking Turner, who was drunk, to the station, when the prisoner jumped on to Turner's cab and drove off with it, at the rate of about 14 miles an hour. Ile left Turner in charge of another constable and went after the prisoner, who, observing him coining, jumped off the cab and ran away, but he (the otii:,er) pursued bin and caught him, when he said he was driving the cab to King's-cross, as he thought ho might there dad the owner. Turner denied ail knowledge of the prisoner. Turner said that he knew nothing whatever of the prisoner. Ihe prisoner said that a man asked him to drive the cab home, and he did so to save the driver of it from getting into trouble. Mr. Knox said he was aware there were frequent similar robberies, and he should remand the prisoner for the purpose of having proper inquiries made into his character. Subsequently a person came forward and said he had known .the prisoner for a length of time, and that he was a respectable man, and that he believed his reason for driving off with the cab was to save the driver from getting into a scrape by having it taken to the greenyard. Mr. Knox said that the prisoner would be re manded, but he would take a £lO bail. THAMES. ROBBERIES IN THE LOCK.—Alfred Simpson, aged 21 years, of No. 4, Lisbon-street, North-street, iVhitechapel, labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 31 lbs. of raw coffee, the property of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. William Robinson, a Dock constable, said the prisoner had been working in the E magazine of the London Dock yesterday, and when he came to the gate at 4 o'clock to pass out he appeared to look lusty, and he searched him, and found in his pockets 311bs. of coffee. The prisoner said all the constable said was true. lie was very sorry for what he had done. Blr. Paget said he was determined as far as lay in his power to stop the present robberies in the docks, and to punish with severity all persons filching tea, coffee, or sugar, wines, or any other merchandise necessarily exposed on the quays. lle sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprison ment and hard labour. TILE LATE BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. —Thomas Brown, aged 2G years, was brought be fore Mr. Paget charged with being concerned with others in feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house and shop of Mr. Lewis Laviubury, pawnbroker and jeweller, of No. 31, Broad-street, Ratcliff, on Saturday night last, and stealing gold rings, ear-drops, watches, and other jewellery to the amount of £5OO. The prisoner described himself as a seaman. lie was arrested this morning at three o'clock. He was identified as one of the four men seen by Smith, 47 K, near the prosecutor's shop at an early hour on Sunday morning. They separated on seeing Smith, and one was afterwards captured with a por tion of the stolen property upon him. This per son was remanded until Monday next, and the pri soner was remanded until that day. A LIBERAL LANDLORD. At the Westnlinster Police-court, yesterday, Mr. John Lane of Albert-terrace, Knightsbridge, ap peared to a notic.) under the Petty Tenements Act, to show cause why an order should not be made upon him to deliver up pos.:.e.3sion of rooms occu pied by him. ..Nlr. Smyth, solicitor (instructed by the London and Westminster Working Mall's Constitutional Associ ation), appeared for the ddendant, Mr. W. Bennett, the secretary of the association, and several !num bers of the body were present, and Messrs. Roger son and Ford, solicitors, watched the proceedings. Benjamin Nicolay, the landlord of the house in Albert-terrace, said that defendant occupied the shop and lower part as a carver and gilder, under one agreement, and two rooms at the top of the house were subsequently let to him as a weekly tenant at ss. per week. The present notice had reference to these two rooms, not to the other part he held. In cross-examination by Mr. S.nyth, the com plainant said—We have had a little dispute upon political grounds ; it was about the Westminster election. I voted for Mill and Grosvenor. He voted, I believe, for Smith. He put two boards out to vote for Smith, to my great annoyance, on - the top of the house, and I told him if he did not take them in he should go. I told him I should give him notice to leave. I put up Mill and Grosvenor ou my part of the premises ; but it was upstairs, at the top of the house, " Vote for Smith," and downstairs iu the shop, " Vote for Smith." Ile said he should not take the bills down from the top of the house for any one. I said I would not have large bills on boards up there to deface my house. It was not for putting up bills for Smith I cared, but it did not improve the ap pearance of the top of my house. I told him he might put as many as he liked about the shop. I did not interfere with those below. The bills did not look nice on the top of the house, and I did not approve of them for that reason. lle.has occupied the shop for four years, and the upper premises about three years. Complainant having, in reply to the Court, said that he could not get rid of defendant at present from the shop, Mr. Arnold thought it looked yindictivo under those circumstances to require him to leave the upper apartments. It was hardly worth while of complainant to do so. Complainant said he wanted one of them for his aged mother. Ha further complained they had been turned into workshops, and that he was annoyed by the noise. He, however, admitted that that had been going on more or less for a year. ➢lr. Smyth, addressing the Court, characterised this as a most arbitrary proceeding. Because his client had differed from his landlord in politics he was to be turned out of part of his premises. De fendant had established a large business there, and would necessarily be put to considerable inconve nience if ordered to give up the rooms. He was surprised that complainant should press the matter, and try to get rid of him in a week, when he was, in fact, a quarterly tenant. Defendant was then put into the witness-box, and deposed that his agreement with complainant for the upper rooms was at the rats of ss. per week. to be paid quarterly. Complainant and Ldefondant's rent-books were both produced. Mr: Arnold, after examining them, said they wore somewhat irregular. Looking at the way the money had been paid, ho was of opinion that de fendant was a quarterly, not a weekly tenant, and be, therefore, could not make the order to quit. CHOLERA FUNGUS.—After a serious of long bota nical researches, Professor Ernest Hallior, of the Uni versity of Jetta, has convinced himself of the preacuce in the excreta of cholera patients of a mi,roscupic fungus which exists in them in considerable quantities. On sub mitting this minute plant to a careful microscopical ex amination, the distinguished botanist found that it has all the characters of Urocisdas oryzce, which in India is found sometimes in the rice plantations. Professor llallier then manured the rico plants with the excreta in question, and finds that they perish rapidly. A whole plantation may bo thus destroyed by the Urocistus in a very short space of titne.—Scientific Review. Mr. FITZPATRICK.—It gives us much pleasure to state that the reported illness of Um Right Hon. John Fitzpatrick has no serious consequences. Although pre vented by an attack of gout from appearing on the hust ings at his unopposed return for the Queen's County, he will take his seat on the first day of the meeting of the stew Parliament. Mil. GL.•ADSTONE AT WINDSOR. --s The Right Hon. William EwarL Gladstone ar rived at "Windsor Castle yesterday afternoon, in obediene3 to a Royal summons, as the future Prime Alinister, to receive her Majesty's commands, with respect to the formation of a Liberal Ministry, in succession to the Administration of Mr. Disraeli. Ile reached Slough by the Great Western Railway, and the train was stopped at that st ttion for his accommodation. At Slough he was met by General Grey, the Qtem's private secretary, and was con veyed to Windsor in one of her MAjesty's carriages. On the way Mr. Glaistoae called to see his son, a student at Eton, and thence he proceeded to Windsor C.istle. Mr. Gladstone had as interview of some duration with her Majesty the Queen, and undertook the formation of the new Cabinet. He remained at the Castle upwards of two hours, and left at 6 o'clock last evening, when he was driven to the Windsor station of the South-Western Railway, and departed for town by the 6 15 train. There were an immense assembly at the Great Western Railway station at Windsor throughout the afternoon, in the expectation of seeing the new Premier; but his arrival and departure were as unostentatious as possible, and were only witnessed by the few people who were confi lentially mad acquainted with the route to be taken t) and from Windsor Castle.

Lord W• Paulet, K.C.8., Adjut.-Gen., has been issued from the horse Guards, by command of his Royal High ness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, directing that the commanding officer of each corps is to form a mess for the sergeants, as one of the means of supporting their consequence and respectability ; and should any local circum stances render it impracticable, the reasons which may have prevented its a ]option are to be explained at the half-yearly inspection. All army schoolmasters (if unmarried), and military bandmasters, staff, and other sergeants, whether married or single, must be members of the mess and the single members must always bo dining mem bers. The management of the mess is to be con ducted by a committee, the pres . .d.mt of which should not be below the rank of colour-sergeant, with two sergeants as members. The daily rate of messing ahould not exceed ls., and a serg ;ant is to be selecte.l by the 11/.SS committee to act as a caterer, subject to the approval of the commanding officer, and he is to be exempt from all other duties. Honorary members may be admitted, with the sanction of the coalman ling officer. The troops at Chatham garrison have commenced route marching for the winter, an 1 are employed daily on that exercise as often as the weather wilt permit. Yesterday the troops comprising the 2d depot battalion were taken out route marching in the direction of Maidstone, under the command of Major W. H. Kerr. Col. C. R. Romer, commanding artillery in the Western Division, accompanied by his staff officer, Capt. Cottingham, R.A., has concluded his annual inspection of the various forts and batteries at Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven, and the result of the inspection was in every respect satisfac tory. No 5 Battery 13th Brigade Royal Artillery, stationed at Pembroke, under the command of Major T. Picton Tubervill, was also inspected by Colonel Romer, who expressed himself well pleased with the appearance of the fine body of men form ing the battery. An order has been received at Woolwich sus pending the proposed reorganization of the Ord nance Select Committee and other contemplated alterations in connection with military reform un til the feeling of the new Parliament can be elicited on the subject. It has been decided to convert the clothing establishment at Woolwich into a military store in connection with the Tower, under the superintendence of the Principal Super intendent of Stores, Royal Arsenal. The work will be performed by men belonging to the Military Store Working Corps; so that for the 550 females superseded and thrown out of employment by re moval of the clothing establishment,there will be no compensative benefit accruing to the civil popula tion of the district. There will be no further dis charges or transfers of workmen from Deptford Dockyard to other yards until after the launch, on the 14th of March, of the Druid, which is the last vessel on the stocks. The yard will be finally closed on the 31st of March. No official intimation has been received with regard to the future disposal of the yard, but it is believed that the building slips will be retained by the Admiralty, so as to be avail able for vessels in time of war, and that the yard, or a large portion of it, will be closed in the same way as prior to 1845. The Warwick, chartered troopship, sailed from the Thames yesterday with the remaining detach ments of the 71st Highlanders on board, from the Curragh, for conveyance to Gibraltar, to join the headquarters and service companies.

The Warwick also received on board at the Nore a number of convicts from the convict establishment, St. Mary's, Chatham, for re moval to Gibraltar. The despatch vessel llelicou, Commander E. Field, left liamoaze on Wednesday morning for Plymouth Sound, preparatory to joining the Chan nel Squadron when the weather moderates. The Spartan, recently launched at Deptford Dockyard, has been removed to the Woolwich yard, to be fitted and equipped for service. ller Majesty's steam storeshi e Dee left Deptford Dockyard at half-past three yesterday afternoon, with timber and victualling stores for Portsmouth.
