MARYLEBONE.

Two repalaie- v women, who gave the names of
Jane West and ElizabdA Goss, were charged with aratiltr
ing • young lady and robbing her.
Eli= Selby, a young lady on a visit to her brother, a
clerk in the Bank of England, residing in Bayhamstreet,
Camden Town, rid—Let evening I went to the
Southampton Arms, 11*h-street, Camdea Town, to
fetch some wine, ssoodd whilst leaving with it,
Goes wished me • . ' happy new year," and salted for some-
thing to drink. West was crying. I said if I thought
it would do them good they might have some, and
on their assurance that it would, I went in and
treated them to supennyworth of rum, to pay for which I
took my purse out. West asked me to drink, and I sternly
refuse& They both said as I declined that they would not,
and as I was leaving they left it behind, and followed
me out. West passed close to me, and feeling her
hand in my pocket, I accused her of it. An soon
as I said so, Goss got behind me, and put her arms round
my neck, and preened me so tight that I was nearly suffo-
cated. (Prosiecutrix described the way in which she was
served, which was the regular garotter's hug.) As soon as
I recovered my senses I found they bad both run off with
my puree, containing 41. 14a. 6d. sod some documents.
informed • gentleman poring by, and afterwards the pri-
soners were captured.
Joseph Cornwell, • sharp lad, stated—l was paring the
Southampton Arms, when I heard the lady say she had
been resulted and robbed, and offer half • sovereign to
anyone who would bring the women back. I went in pur-
suit and saw the two prisoners in a public-house, and told
• boy to keep his eye upon them whilst I went for the
lady, and if they offered to go away to give a whistle. When
I went back with the lady I found they had
gone up a dark yard, and as no one else would
venture up, I went and searched about amongst
heaps of beaker sod carte, and at last saw the two pri-
sons" crouched down by the side of • cart. I said, " Came
out ; it's no use your hiding ; you've protted • lady."
They called me • liar, and said they had not seen any
woman. I waited some time for them, and called for help,
but no one would come up. At length they both came out,
and ran out at the other end of the yard. I followed them,
and they separated. I told them it was no ass their doing
that, for I should be sure to have them. On this they
joined together again, and a policeman coming along, I
handed them over to him.
Edmund Frith, 103 8, proved finding the purse, but no
money, close by where the prisoners had secreted themselves.
Sergeant Maier", 8 8, asked for • remand, as he believed
there would be former convictions against both prisoners.
Mr. Yardley remanded them for a week.

A woman named James was committed from
Stalyhtidge, yesterday, for attempting to drown herself
and two children. They were got out of the water with
difficulty. The woman bad quarrelled with her husband
about twopence.
RTKARKARLE CASE OF DROWNING AT ROCHDALE.
—Miss Sarah Anin Hoyland, milliner, met with her death on
Sunda) evening wider very painful circumstances. It seems
that she and her sweetheart, • young man named Levi
Crossley, a clerk io one of the newspaper offices, were walk-
ing arm-in-arm along the banks of the Roach, at • point
near Hamer-bum, she being next the river. The
evening being densely fogey, they experienced some diffi-
culty in finding the turnstile through which it is necessary
to pass, when Crossley, thinking they were too much to the
right, diverged a little to the othereide, on which the young
woman slipped into the river, drawing him in after her.
After struggling for some time they both sueoseded in
getting out. but seriously fatigued, Crossley sat down on a
stone close to the edge, taking her on hie knee. This stone
(such is his statement) toppled over, precipitating them
both into the river again, and this time the young woman
was taken down by the stream. Crowley managed again
to get out, and unable to render any assistance himself,
made the best of his way for help. It was • long time, how-
ever, before the body could be found, and when at last dis-
covered, it was fifty yards from where the accident occurred,
and life, of come, was quite extinct. We believe an inquest
will be held to-day. The path, we may add, where the acci-
dent took place, is notorioudy dangerous, even in daylight.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON THE GOVERNOR OF
Luvrwa GAOL —Great excitement was calmed in Lease, on
Sunday last, in consequence of a report having been cir-
culated that a most murderous assault had been made upon
Mr. Sanders. the governor of the Lewes House of Correc-
tion, by one of the prisoners, by which that gentleman's
life had been endangered. The report, on inquiry, proved
to be too true, although, happily, the injury that had
been indicted upon Mr. Sanders turned out not to
be so serious as was at first apprehended. It
appears that amongst the prisoners is • Frenchman
named Framois Dimollard. no&rgoing • period of nine
mouths' imprisonment for a robbery at Hail:thaw.
This man is the same who, it may be remembered, made an
unsuccessful attempt to escape from prison about three
months ago ; and during all the time that be has been in
gaol be has conducted himself with great insubordination,
and caused very great trouble to the prism officers. Oa
' Saturday last his conduct had been more than usually vio-
llent, and he was consequently ordered into what was known
as the refractory cell, for which he was heard to express •
determination to be revenged upon the governor. On Sun.
• day morning Mr. Sanders visited the primmer, as usual, in
the refractory cell, and immediately upon his entrance the
convict aimed a blow at him with • kind of rude knife.
which be bad somehow constructed with • piece of tin and
set in • wooden handle. He inflicted a severe wound on the
I lower part of Mr. danden's Isom but was at once secured by
the keeper who accompanied Mr. Sanders before the blow
could be repented. The prisoner has been committed for
trial at the ensuing arises.—Sasser Advertiser.
A New POTATO.—A member of the Belgian
Central Society of Auk:altars has recommended to the at-
tention of the society • new variety of the potato, which
is remarkable is the triple point of view of flavour, abun-
dance. and facility of preservation. It appears to be a
variety of what is celled chardon in Belgium. Its stalk
grows to the height of 126. and throws out many
bemiring. The blossom Is of a:pale violet colour, and pro-
doom no fruit. A field of eat acre of third-class quality.
lightly timbered, produced 22,000 kilogrammes of mead
potatoes. The neighbouring farmers were astoeishod not
only at the enormous produce, but at the Amuee of any
unsound potato. The crop was dug out on Oct. 12.
