A swarthy-featured man, apparently about 30 years of
age, and of shabby genteel ap , who at the station-
house refused his address and name, but now asserted the
latter to be Milian Robey, was charged before Mr. New-
ton with stealing 625 prints and 1,500 cartes de visite, the
property of Solomon Allen, an importer of foreign goods,
in Leman-street, WhitechapeL
prisoner was apprehended entirely by accident on Tues-
day, in the shop of a picture-frame maker, in Commercial-
street, Shoreditch, while making inquiries respecting the
goods they sold.
The fraud in question was committed in October last,
when the prisoner, in company with another man, went to
Mr. Allen's and professed to select a sample, leaving
hastily, and promising to return in a abort period. One
of the prosecutor's men who accompanied prisoner with the
goods allowed them tope's out of his hands without receiv-
ing the money, and found the address given by the prisoner
false. Not anything had beenheard or seen of the prisoner
since. A second case was preferred by Messrs. Beckman, of
Aldersgate.street, portrait-frame makers, prisoner having,
on the 2nd of October last; obtained two hundred litho-
graphic and other geode, under pretence that they were •
portion of a shipping order. Mere again the to
whom they were entrusted for delivery d• disregarded his in-
structions to retain possession of them un • he received
the money, but the prisoner had adopted great cunning to
attain his ends. It was said that publicity would bring
more oases against the primmer, but
Mr. Newton remarked that they could be carried, if it
was deemed requisite, to trial, and folly committed the
prisoner, who declined any defence, to the Old Bailey.

THAXES.

An Irishman of good education and address, who gave
the name and address, Dorid Ridley of 47, Ridley-place,
Portland-street, gentleman, and said he war 29 icon of
age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being
drunk and incapable of taking care of himself in Great
Alie-street, Whitechapel.
Lewis Sheets, a pollee-constable, said he found the pri-
soner helplessly drunk at half-past 10 o'clock, and ha ob-
tained a stretcher, on which he was carried to the station-
house.

The prisoner, who was shivering. and who exhibited a
deplorable appearance, said he went a little astray last
night, and the police, as a matter of course, took care of
him.

Mr. Paget—Yes, your eases that of many. You get
drank, and make sure the police will take are of you

TIM DUITURBANCLB AT OTTORD.-01/0111), WED-
Ik. NESDAT E .—The Grenadier Guards were recalled at
a very short this afternoon, and returned to Windsor
at shoat t It had been arranged for the men to
have a to of two hours, in order to go
over the university and city, and the Rev. Canon
Jenkins, of Awes College, the soldeirs' friend, had kindly
volunteered to accompany them, but in consequence of the
Mayor having reported to the Home-office that their ser-
vices could be dispensed with, a telegram, ordering their
immediate return, was received about one o'clock, and
they were clear out of the town in less than an hour.
During their short stay at Oxford they were well cared
for by Mr. Grant, butler of Christ Church, who catered for
them to their utmost satisfaction. Of course their hasty
return has given rise to the consideration co the
whether their presence was needed or not, bat the
matter may be argued, the responsibility the
government, who, in reply to a telegram
as to what he should do in case of emergenc
the Guards with all haste. The town is n
. . •

quiet, and hopes are entertained that no be:sell
the peace will occur. Should such a calamity happen
spicuil constables will be of great service in resteirket
quietude. The bread question can hardly now be a pre-
text for a breach of the peace, as the 41b. loaf hes today
been reduced from 9d. to Bd., a result, we believe, not due
to any of the recent proceedings.
EXTRAORDINARY CRILROE OF ATTEMPTED MIMI-
on AT SHREWSBray.—At the Shrewsbury police-court,
yesterday, Thomas Yates, a respectable-looking man, de-
scribed as a clerk, was charged with cutting the throat
of Mrs. Emma Egerton. The offence was alleged to have
been committed on the 29th ult. but the police declining to
take action in the matter criminal proceedings were not
instituted till the 6th inst., when an information was laid
by Mrs. Bllerton. From the statement of the prosecutrix,
it appeared that she was a married woman living with her
husband, and that the prisoner had lodged with her for
some months, but on the day preceding that of the alleged
outrage he had gone to live with his mother. On the
Tuesday afternoon, however, the prisoner returned to the
house of the prosecutris, and, aa she alleges, threw himself
upon the sofa in the sitting-room, and commenced to use
abusive language towards her, expressing among other
things his determination to "do for her" forthwith. She
left the room to get a lamp, and as she was proceeding up-
stairs, the prisoner followed, and seising her by the hair,
her head back, and first sticking a axon into the
side of her neck, drew it across her throat. For the defence
it was stated that the wound upon the throat of the pro-
aecutrix had been inflicted by her own hand ; and this view
was supported by the evidence of the medical man called
in at the time of the occurrence, who, after describing the
nature and position of the wound, said it was, in fact, just
such a rut as he would inflict upon his own threat if be
wished to present the appearance of having had his throat
cut and at the same time was anxious not to hurt himself
very much. The magistrates adurned the further hear-
ing of the case till Monday next. Theprisoner andthe prose-
clibiz appear to have been on terms of great familiarity,
for it was stated in evidence that when she was first dis-
covered with ber throat cut, she alternated her accusation
against the prisoner with passionate protestation, that she
loved him more than her life."
