WALLASEY.

BEFORE MAJOR-GENERAL SIR EDWARD CUST, BART., J. C.
EWART, ESQ., AND G. 11. LAWRENCE, ESQ.
ROBBERY AT THE New BRIGHTON REFRESHMENT ROOM.
—Three lads, named William Conner, William Johnson,
and James Doherty were charged with having, on the night
of the 28th of May, broken into the refreshment room of
the New Brighton Landing Ferry, and stolen therefrom
a glass jar containing a quantity of sweets, the property of
Mr. Cole, the proprietor. Miss Cole spoke to having left
the premises quite safe on the night in question, and
about half-past ten o'clock the three prisoners were found
near the premises, having stolen the jar in question. The
prisoners having admitted the fact, were each sentenced to
two mouths' imprisonment.
EXTENSIVE BURGLkRY AT NEW BRlGHTON.—Benjamin
Jones and Charles Gough, dressed in the garb of sailors,
with two females, who give their names as Ann Jones
and Catherine White, were chargad with having, on
the 16th of May, burglariously broken into and
entered the dwelling house occupied by Mrs. Cappel, of
No. 5, Union terrace, New Brighton, and stolen therefrom
a very large quantity of articles, amongst which was a
black silk velvet cape, a black silk petticoat, a pebble
brooch, and a great variety of other articles, belonging to
herself and the servant, Margaret Richardson, some of
which was produced and identified. It appeared that the
parties in the house retired to rest about twelve o'clock on
the night in question, leaving all the doors and windows
secure. On the following morning it was discovered that
the house had been entered, the thieves obtaining an
entrance by forcing the fastening of the parlour window,
when they ransacked every drawer in the place, and
took the property. Mr. John Barlow, a serjeant
in the Lancashire constabulary, stated that he
apprehended the prisoners at Eccles, near Manchester,
on a charge of having committed another burglary in
the neighbourhood, at a common lodging house. He asked
what goods they had with them, and was taken upstairs,
where a bundle was produced which Gough said were their
things. In a pair of old stays were the two broaches that
had been stolen from the house of Mrs. Cappell, which the
policeman swore the male prisoners said they had pur-
chased for their wives, meaning the two females. Detective
officer Smith, of Liverpool, stated that he apprehended
the two female prisoners at Manchester, and on Jones he
found the black silk petticoat, and on the other a green
broach, each of which was identified as part of the pro—
perty stolen. He knew that the prisoners were all
associated together. Some house-breaking implements were
found upon theprisoners, amongst which was a crowbar, with
which it was supposed that the entrance had been gained
to the parlour, as the marks on the window were made by
that or a similar instrument. Inspector Gregory having
given some confirmatory evidence, it was proved that the
parties had all lived together in Liverpool. The prisoners
were then cautioned in the usual way, when they admitted
that they were guilty of the offence, and were committed
to take their trials at the nest Cheshire Assizes.

Casa AND DEC". Box's.—The next important thing to the posses_
lion Of cash is, how (when you have got itj to keep It safely, either in
the connting-house or at home. The same remarks apply to deeds
and other valuable documents. We have seen a large and varied
stock of both these desirable articles, manufactured expressly for Mr.
E. T. Hall, of South John-street, that challenge attention. These
boxes are made on new and admired principles,
and possess patent
locks, which defy the ingenuity of any " pick-lock" in the world to
open, except with the legitimate key. To merchants, solicitors, and
others, these new safes., on a small scale. must prove valuable Indeed.

RIOTS AT BRUSSELS, ANTWERP, AND OTHER

PLACES.

BRUSSELS, Sunday.—The Independence Beige contains
further accounts of the disturbances in Belgium. Nume-
rous arrests were made on Friday. On Saturday a judicial
inquiry commenced. A great number of persons con-
nected with the religious corporations quitted Brussels
that day in various directions by the several railways. A
number of young men from Flanders and Liege flocked
into Brussels. As a measure of prudence, the Sisters of
Charity have abstained, as was their custom, to walk in
procession for the collection of alms. The Civic Guard
was assembled at Six o'clock, on Saturday evening.
Large numbers of troops have arrived, and are quartered
in the Faubaurgs. Squadrons of cavalry patrolled the
principal streets. The Communal Council assembled at
two o'clock on Saturday. At the opening of the sitting the
Burgomaster communicated to the Assembly, the decree
forbidding the assemblage of more than fire people in any
public place. M. Mattieu, at the close of the sitting, pro-
posed an address to the King, expressing the deep discon-
tent of the country at the proposed law relating to public
charities, and declaring the loyalty of the Council and
people; and, after a sitting with closed doors, it was
believed that the address would be presented to the King
on Sunday. Of the 70 persons arrested, 32 have been
sent to prison under remand; the rest have been released.
A large crowd, on Saturday evening, after having broken
the windows of the building inhabited by Bollondists,
marched into Schderbeck. On reaching the house of the
Sisters of Visitation, they were stopped by th 3 challenge
of the sheriff and of the commissary of police. The deci-
sion of the members of the Communal Administration and
the police sufficed to disperse the crowd. At midnight, a
heavy rain having fallen all the evening, Brussels was
tranquil. There have been riots at Antwerp, Ghent, and
Mons. The Minister of the Interior, at the opening of
the sitting, read the royal procla -nation, announcing,
without a word of explanation, the adjournment of the
Chambers. The left, which was fully attended, energeti-
cally cried " Vive le roi." The right (the part{ pretre),
was silent and motionless, without joining in this loyal
manifestation. The obnoxious bill is thus shelved for the
present.
