GAROTTE ROBBERY IN BETHNAL.ORSEN.—(THIS
DAY.)—About one o'clock this morning, as Mr. Joseph
Neves, professor of music, residing in Queen.street.
Stepney, was proceeding on his way home. across a piece of
waste ground, near Wellington-street, Betboal•green.he was
suddenly seized round the neck and forcibly dragged back by
some person behind him, who compressed his throat with
such force that he was almost strangled. While struggling
with his assailants one of the ruffians presented himself be-
fore him, and struck him repeated blows about
Lis face sad eyes. Mr. Nevin at length succeeded in
partially releasing himself, but both his hands were in-
stantly seized and dragged back by the man who
at first attacked him, when the man in front
struck him a heavy blow on the temple, which
felled him to the ground. Whilst, in this position his
guard chain was snapped asunder and his gold watch drawn
out of his pocket, by one of the confederates who made off
with the booty, Mr. Nevin being totally incapable of pur-
suing them. A description of the miscreants is in the hands
of the police.
NO MORE GROG IN THE AMERICAN NAVY.—Con-
gress passed a law at its last session, that after September
1 1862, the spirit ration in the navy of the United State,
shall for ever °ease, and that no distilled apiritnous
shall be admitted on hoard of vessels of war, except as
medical stores, to be used for medical purposes. A commu-
tation of 6vo cents a day 14 to be paid instead toes& person
in the navy entitled to the spirit ratios, in addition to their
present pay.
DEATH OF MR. R. MorrAr.—The Cape mail
mentions the death of Mr. R. Mojat, the eldest son of the
Rev. Robert Moffat, at the Kunnas. This melancholy
event was announced in our columns a month ago, and we
hasten to correct the mistake of a morning contemporary
who supposes that the veteran missionary is himself dead.
We are glad to be able to assure that large circle amongst
whom the name of Moffat is a household word that letters
just received represent him as enjoying his usual health.--
Patriot.

RECAPTURE OP A PRISONER AFTER ESCAPING
FRON ♦ RAILWAY TRAM-11e other day a young man
named Robert Thornton, a painter, the sou of an innkeeper
at Bradford, whilst being conveyed a prisoner to Halifax,
managed to jump out of the railway train when it was in
the depth of Beacon Hill Tunnel, near Halifax, and to effect
bin escape from the policeman in charge of him. He appears
to have gone to Bradford, and from thence by a day excur-
sion train to London and back. (In his return, however, to
Bradford station, a policeman was in waiting for him, and
this time he was conveyed securely to Halifax. There are
several charges of theft against him, one being ,the stealing
of a lady's gold watch, value 231., from Bleed HAL near
Brighouse. Hie practice has been, while painting at homes,
to pilfer valuable articles. He will be examined before the
booth on Saturday.
