GREENWICH.
PETIT ROBBERIES BY A Gm.
Karma Carr, a respectable-looking girl, 16 years of age,
, brought up on remand charged with several petty
seheries.
It appeared that a few weeks since the prisoner was
set at Sydenbam by a widow, a laundress, who,
eking compassion upon her representation that she
es out of a situation, took her home, shared her
bed with her, and obtained temporary employment for her
at a laundry at which she was herself engaged. After
'lurking a few days the prisoner was discharged in conic-
quence of things being missed, and as it was dis-
covered that she bad taken • pair of boots and other
articles belonging to the person who had befriended
ber, as also a book belonging to a lodger in
the house, she was given into custody. In her pos-
session was found a letter, addressed to her from her
lather, holding a responsible position at one of the metro-
politan railway stations, reproving her for not following
his advice, and who now attended the court and stated
that the prisoner had been a source of great trouble to
bine from the time she was 13 years of age.
The constable who had charge of the case said the
prisoner had been charged with felony at the Southwark
police-court, but had been discharged owing to the prose-
cutor not appearing against her. From inquiries he had
made, he found that in nearly every place the prisoner had
been allowed to enter she had purloined articles of small
value, many of which he produced, including property
belonging to a person at Sydenham, whose wife had
taken her from " a refuge" as servant. The prisoner
bad, on another occasion, been found by a master builder
in the Old Kent-road, sitting, apparently in a state of
destitution, near the Surrey Canal-bridge, in that locality,
end he, pitying her condition, had provided her with a
kriging at a respectable house, and had agreed to pay a
mm daily for her maintenance until she succeeded in ob-
taining a situation. In return for this kindness the pri-
mer suddenly took her departure, stealing a quantity of
sails and lead belonging to her benefactor.
In answer to the magistrate, the father of the prisoner
laid he did not know what was best to be done, while one
dthe persons whom she had robbed suggested she should
be sent to a reformatory.
Hr. Traill said the prisoner was too old to be sent
to a reformatory, except upon conviction by a jury, and
by special direction from • judge. He was afraid,
however, she was beyond any influences of such insti-
tutions, for there appeared to be at least the proceeds of
a dozen different robberies she had committed, although
the articles were of small value. He should now accept
her plea of guilty, and sentence her to one month's im-
prisonment, and if again convicted this would ensure a
much severer sentence being passed upon her.
The prisoner, who appeared perfectly indifferent, was
then removed.

litTAL ACCIDENT IN A TUNNEL OF THE
UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

Great consternation was caused amongst the
passengers awaiting the arrival of the trains at 9 o'clock
this morning at the King's-cross station of the Under-
pound Railway, by a train which then came in,
followed from the tunnel by several platelayers
hi a state of great excitement, all of whom were
hurriedly waving their shovels, shouting, and in every way
endeavouring to attract the attention of the driver of
the engine. It was then observed by those on the plat-
forms, as well as the railwayservante, that an accident had
happened, and on the train nearing them, the last off wheel
of the carriage at the end of the train had adhering to it
what to many appeared a bundle which was rotating with
t►e wheel. On the stoppage of the train it was found to
be the body of one of the platelayers engaged on the
railway, and who had previously been at work in
the tunnel. Every exertion was made to release
the body, which was a ehapelese masa, from the whool, but
it was not for some few minutes that success rewarded
their efforts, when no signs of life appeared ; in fact, it
seemed as though all the bones had been broken. The
unfortunate man must have been standing in the six-feet
straight when the train was passing him, and no doubt
ircautiously stepped against the wheel in the dark, whilst
under the impression that the train had passed.

The Volkceitung mentions that Herr Lewald
received a letter from Karl Blind, of London, request-
ing him to obtain permission from the proper authorities
that his step-son may be interred with becoming respect,
and at the same time asking for a lock of his hair.
Both requests were readily complied with. A
letter which Cohen-Blind had written to his step-
father, was detained at the post-office by means
of the telegraph after the attempt on Von Bismarck. In
it he expresses his unalterable resolution to kill Bismarck,
whom he regards as the greatest enemy of Germany. He
argues that his death is necessary for the safety and unity
of Germany. He says he has no accomplices, and is pre-
pared to risk his own life. The Kreuz Zeitiowl says, "It
was by the will of God that Herr von Bismarck was saved
from being pierced with bullets. Others say that he had
cm a coat of mail.

STRAND MUSIC-HALL.—The entertainment here
bat night was signalised by the appearance of most of the
leading comic celebrities whose effusions are familiar to
the frequenters of music halls. The announce nent of so
many names appeared to have a great attraction, the hall
being crowded in every part. Altogether a success must
be recorded in favour of Mr. John Nash, who was the
beneficer on the occasion.

THE LATE COLONEL HOBBN.—The Times says of
this officer, whose name is so unhappily notorious in con-
nection with the outbreak in Jamaica, that the inquiry
into his conduct in suppressing the outbreak and the
criticisms to which he was subjected, so affected him
that he had been pronounced of unsound mind by
a board of medical officers in Jamaica, and was
coming home invalided. He was to be in care of an army
surgeon during the voyage, and two orderlies were ap-
pointed to watch his movements. On the second day,
however, after leaving Jamaica, and when the Tyne was
off the coast of Hayti, he managed to elude the orderly
then in charge of him, and, rushing to one of the
main-deck ports, threw himself overboard. The steamer
was stopped with all possible despatch, and a boat
was lowered. Several of the passengers saw the unhappy
man for a few moments amid the waves, apparently
making no effort to save himself ; but he soon
disappeared, and no trace of him could be seen by
the boat's crew, though the steamer lay to for some
time. This sad occurrence was made more painful by the
fact that Mrs. Hobbs was accompanying her husband, with
her three children. It is unnecessary to say that the utmost
sympathy was expressed for them by the passengers. Col.
Hobbs served at the siege of Sebastopol in 18.5.5, and com-
manded the 21st Fusiliers at the attack the Redan on
the 18th of June.
HYDROPHOBIA. —Yesterday, Mr. Herford held
In inquest on the body of Ann Cash Walker, 13 years
of age, the daughter of a German yeast dealer,
living in Higher Chatham-street, Greenheys, Man-
chester. About five weeks ago, the deceased early
one morning entered her home bleeding very much from
the hand, and said she had seen a large black dog at
the door ; had taken it some water, which it refused ;
and that on patting it, the dog turned round and bit her
on the hand. It was a retriever, and belonged to a come-
dian named Ed. Robertson Ward. The deceased's father
at once took her to the doctor's, after having washed and
bathed the wound, and it was cauterised. The wound had
healed apparently ; but on Thursday symptoms of hydro-
phobia appeared ; deceased grew worse, refused water,
sad all other liquids, and died on Saturday. She was
attended by Drs. Mann and Brown. The owner of the dog
Mated at the inquest that the dog had been destroyed.
Whilst in the fair, a short time ago, a gentleman patted
the dog on the loins, and the animal bit him. The jury
returned a verdict of " Death from hydrophobia, caused by
the bite of a dog."
EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT EXETER. —A most
remarkable robbery took place at Exeter during the night
of Monday last, when she office of Messrs. Follett and Co.,
timber merchants, Shillay Wharf, wan broken into, the
berg. lars stealing a large iron chest, containing the books
"kluging to the establishment, and about 41. 10s. in cash.
A reward of ra . forinformation leadingtotheamehension
of the robbers, who were no doubt experienced ones, was
offered ; but up to Friday evening last none was re-
"reed. Mrs. Beck, however, the wife of Messrs. Follett's
cashier, received by Friday evening's post the following
&le :—" I seat to tell you that the chest is up at the
Bonney Green, under a bush close at the bank, in the
"ter. Good night ; God bless you, &c." Mr. Beck' sent
scene men to look for the chest in the place stated in the
letter, and strange to say, it was found there, only I/. 10a.
of the cash which it contained being found missing. The
alike was broken open with a large iron bar, which was
