Snot-LlFTlNG.—Yesterday Sarah Newman. a girl only fifteen
years of age, was brought un charged with hating stolen two pieces
of cotton from the shop of 31.1% Pemberton, lineu-draper, St. John_
street, Clerkenwell.

Ili; shopmaii said that this girl (who is in the service of a res-
pectable family) has been in the habit of occasionally purchasing
some trifling articles at his shop, and that on Thursday evening
last she came in, and after selecting a piece of cotton, ]eft a shil-
ling deposit to have it kept tor her, and then went away ; she was
seen, however, to take the property In question, and was imme-
diately secured. _ .

The most mpeetabla character was given of her parents.
She was fully committed for trial.
A most respectable looking young man applied for a summons
against a watchman, for gross dereliction of duty. Ile stated,
that on Monday night, as he was passing by the Angel Inn, at
Islington, three dandies, for a bit of a lark, tripped him up, and
otherwise ill-treated him. He charged them on the watch, which
they retorted on him; however, on reaching the watchhouse, he
found that they had slipped something into the hood of the watch.
man, by which they slipped through his fingers and made their
escape.
The summons wan immediately granted.
The office was crowded with persons applying. for warrants to
prove how merrily were passing the holiday times. The various
mczzolinlo shadings of their eyes would have been an instructive
exhibition to the artist.

Yesterday T. P0Z....1. and J. Tomkins, alias Williams, were
charged before Sir G. FARRAXT, on suspicion of having broken
into and robbed the wine cellar of Mr. Lumley, an extensive wine
merchant, whose cellars are at the corner of Rateman's.buildings,
Soho.. q
It apps and front the statement, that on the 17th of March last,
as the watchman on that beat was passing, at six o'clock in the
morning, he was alanned at finding that the door-way entrance on
the font-way into Mr. Lumley's cellar was forced open. When
he had passed an hour before all was secure; he immediately
gave the alarm ; and on examining the cellar, it was discovered
that a quantity of wine was carried oil'. and near a half puncheon
of valuable brandy, of twenty years oli, which Mr. Lumley va-
lued at one guinea a quart.
The prisoners were apprehended under suspicious circumstances,
but the evidence did not bring :he offence home to them.
Sir 01:01101: FAttIIANT said, the circumstances Mateo strong
as to leave no reasonable doubt of their guilt ; but, as the evidence
did not bring the charge directly home to them, he, after caution.
ing them to take care et' themselves, as a strict eye would be kept on
them, ordered them to be discharged.

Rater e Hoc wns—T he rabbit is capable of affording mach higher
gratification than is generally experienced from the pursuit of it.
With a cry of dogs duly bred and trained for the purpose, and with
such only as are so brad and trained, delectable is the sport in fairly
hunting them where thinly scattered, having also but few earths,
and those previously stopped. Of several packs of rabbit " hounds,"
if we may be allowed the expression, which could be enumerated,
one kept in the highest state of discipline some years since by a
gentleman in the county of Dorset, is well worthy of description.--
This pack consisted of seven couple of the most diminutive of the
blended blood of the beagle and the harrier, as prima facie exem-
plified in the round pending ear, cinerous dark spots, edged with a
finish of tan colour; a feathered tail, arched over the bark when
the animal was in motion ; and above all, in such assumed Conse-
quence in the gait and carriage, of the senior part of them at least,
as failed not to attract observation and interest Their general
size may In conjectured, from a prevailing report as to the whole
pack having often received a full meal from a common wuh-hand
basin once filled.—One. however, an inch or two taller than the
re,t, and which would have been drafted but for his inestimable
qualities, was loaded with a shot collar of two or three ounces
weight, to prevent his being too forward when in chase. l'pwatds
of 400 couple of rabbits were killed by them in one year. and 1001.
was once offered for the pack, and refusal. Whether so or not, the
feats performed by these tiny chidert, for several successive seasons,
drew forth resounding plaudits from sporting spectators of the first
rank in the kingdom, together with many a justly-merited rut°.
glum on their proprietor, by whose sole skill, judgment and
perseverance, they were brought to a state of unrivalled per-
fection.

Gt t. Tr() s r.—A correspondent has sent the following ac-
