ance, was charged before Mr. Hall with stealing 19 yard,. of
Scotch deny, value 11. 125., the property of Mr. IL. Quinn,
draper, of Clare-market.
Prosecutor's shopmatt stated that about ten o'clock, on
Saturday night, he was standing at his shop door, when the
defendant walked up, and in his presence took up the roll
of goods produced. She was marching otf with great cool-
ness
when complainant arrested her, about three yards from'
the door, and gave her into custody.
Prisoner said she was quite innocent, although drunk on
the night in question.
Mr. Hall observed that he could not bring himself to that
opinion ; as the property was found on her he should remand
her for inquiries.

tears her entire ignorance of the charge.

Tun HATRE the Editor of the
Esprem —Sir,—ln the Express of Saturday, it was
correctly stated that a daily mail is made up in London
direct for Havre, and transmitted by way of Southampton.
In the Times of to-day the same fact is made kndwn in the
Southampton news of that journal, but it is there stated
that correspondence for Havre by this mail must be posted
by 6.30 p.m. This must be an error, as I have posted let-
ters both at the Lombard-street and the St. Martin's-le-
Grand offices for the Havre mail, via. Southampton, as late
as 8 p.m., and they have reached Havre the following
morning. As this mail will prove a very great convenience
to the public, perhaps you will allow me to state in your
journal, that there is no mail for Havre made up in Lon-
don on Fridays, because it appears the packet leaves South-
ampton earlier In those days than on others.—A
CHLI4T.—Sept. 1.
