Churchwardens of Pt. Septsletwe's Church, on a charge of

Church on the evening in question, and was standiag by the

soner passed by him, drew a pistol frum wader his toot, and
fired it towarlis the organ. He then threw about a number
of printed papers, the purport of which was, tbst the organ
was the image of Antichrist, and the tussle the Babyloisish

the seven letters in the word Babytus, being equal to the
notes in music. The witness secured the Prisoner, and gave
him in custody to pike, the beadle.
Pike, the beadle, stated, that when the Primmer fired the
pistol, there was a rush towards the place in which the Pei.

nothing upon him but some Of the bills before-mentioned,
and some ducats: He limed from the Prisooer's asewsoesuda,
that he lodged at the Angel lOU, where the witness went
to ascertain who he was. He was informed that the Pri-
soner was a young foreigner of regular habits, who hail re-
sided there a few week.. Pike was permitted to search his
apartment', where he saw enough to convince him of the
Prisoner's insanity, from the state in which he bad left Isis
property. The church was searched, but Neither a ball nor
the mask of may was fora&

EXTENSIVE RUBBERY IN tVOOU•STREET.
A short time since the silk.warebouse of Mr. Green, of
Wood street, Cheapside, was broken open and robbed of silk
goods, Asc. to the value of upwards of 1,0001. It appeared
upon examination of the premises, that the robbery most
have been well arranged sad conducted upon the most inge-
nious principle of depredation, as the doors were deprived of
their fastenings without alarm to the neighbourhood.
The Police have been ever since employed in the endea-
vour to make discoveries, but nothing appeared in the course
of their search that led to a probability of detection of those
concerned, until a day or two ago, when loadbetter,- the
Marshalman, by the merest accident, got into his hands a
piece of ribhand, which, upon calling to his recollection
the description of what had been Mole° from Mi. Greta,
be believed to be past of the plunder The manner in
which the ribband came into his p ion was rather sin-
gular. He had dealt with a respectable tradesman in the
city for many years, and Mrs. Leastbeater having,while giving
orders for some necessary articles at the shop, been asked
whether she wanted any ribband whirls cenkt he sold cheap, a
sample of it was produced. A bad debt was as.isened as the
cause of the cheapness of the article, the tradesman had no
more suspicion that it formed part of Mr. Green's plundered
stuck than Mr.. Leadbeatee entertained, who skewed it to
her husband as a piece of goods that was worth what thud
been demanded. The Marslialinan, upon seeing the ribband,
went to Mr. Green, who instantly identified the ribband as
• part of the property "stolen out of hi, warehouse; upon
which the Marshalm,llll proceeded to his tradesman, and
learned-from him the name and address of the person who
had expressed a wish to sell the article.
The consequence was, that a female of rather respectable
appearance was taken into custody, and brought before
Alderman Heygate, who sat yesterday for the Lord Mayor.
Ogle whores was examined, when Mr. Harmer, who at.
tended for the Prisoner, asked Mr. Cceeu whether the rub-
bery could have been committed by a woman?
Ms Green said he had every reason to suppose that men
must have been the perpetrators.
Alderman Heygals said, he should postpone the casual-
Datum until Monday oast.

The Commissioners under Mr. BROUGHAM'S
Education and Chanty Act, are now sitting at Peo-
ria), where, we understand, several important cases
are engaging their attention, several of the neigh-
bouring clergy and churchwardens are summoued
to attend.

We understand that Sir DAVID BA IRD, Com-
mander of the Forces in Ireland, purposes to make
a tour of iospec.ion of the troops in this country in
short time, and with that view will arrive iii this
city in the course of a few days.—(Cork Me►cantile

The first divi•iou of the 81st regiment marched
into Ferniny barracks on the 1911), and were followed
by the second division on the itievertling day. The

whirliare to convey them to (.7ditada, arrive in Cork
harbour, where they arc daily expncted with the
33 I regiment from England.
Thursday, about a quarter past twelve at noon,
during a violent storm, of thunder and lightning,
accompanied with a tremendous shower of had and
rails, the electric fluid entered she house of Mr.
UcoacE G A RDIN ER. Of the Harpsichord Ga►dens,
St. Clement's, Os lord. It de►cended the chimney
into the parlour. where Mr. GARDIN ER, his wife,.
and seven children were sitting, and drove uue of
his daughters, about five years of age, across the
room, a spare of six or seven fs et, which much
scorched both her leg* and Mae side of her up to
the head. 11Ir. GAUDINaR was thrown down, and
driven with great vinleiice against a table. The
electric fluid airsick a coddle, in which was a child,
and threw the cradle down, but the child escaped
unhurt ; it passed in au horizontal dilectiou from
the pin, on which the cradle ►wung, to ■ brad in
the sash home of the *induer, thence to an iron bar,
and the hinge of the door, the ease of which it
carried away, and escaped between the hinge and
the door. Another ball entered the house by the
window into au upper room, and carried away a
landscape, hanging smear the window, to a consider-
able distance, and escaped by the window, alter
(hieing the sash flame and cornice away. Tao
trees to the front of the house were struck. the bark
of which was much torn► from the bodies. The
little girl is in a fair way of recovery.
