Mr.. CABLILBIS trial for a libel in The Reps6li•
can, which stood for Monday next, the 15th in-
stant, is put off till Tuesday the lti.lt. This is the
'first out of five prosecutions sig.iiist her for The
Republican, including the one by the Society fur
the Suppression of Vice.
Tuesday night a gentlewoman had her pocket
picked in the pit of Drury-lane theatre, in a very
remarkable manner: her upper petticoat was cut
through, and both corners of her pocket cut oft.
She felt something about her feet in the time of the
performance, which she took to be a dog, but now
supposes it to have been a little boy under the
bench, who cut her pocket, and stole two halle
crowns, three shillings, a silver thimble, and other
articles.
Yesterday morning, between ten and eh v,ii
o'clock, as a waggon heavily laden wall limber was
proceeding down St. James's-street, alien opposite
the Military Club-house, a light spring caravan
drawn by two spirited animals, suddenly came its
contact with the hinder wheel of the waggon, *hitt'
was at the time blocked with a chain, bloke it,
threw the shaft horse down, sod overturned the
caravan. The horses instantly started away in a
furious manner towards St. James's Palace. where
they were stopped without doing any mischief. The
coachman, although precipitated from the box a
considerable distance, received uo material injury. •
FIRS.—An alarming fire broke out soon ace(
eleven o'clock on Tuesday evening, at the cabinet
manufactory of Mr. DOWBIGGEN, its Aditilee•
mew., Mary-lt•bOtie, which threateoeil much de-
struction. The parish engine, and those of the
County and Sun, arrived iu the infancy of the
flames, and with a good supply of water the con.
flagretion was confiued to the ground floor lbd the
workshop on the first floor, which were destroyed,
and here the flames were subdued.
A dreadful COOfidgfldiCtil tout: place in the even-

and rushing out of his house, found the angle of the

that time. Three engines arrived. one from the
