ROBBING A SAlLOR.—Thomas Sullivan, an ill-looking
fellow, and Joseph aily, were charged this morning be-
fore Mr. Coombe with robbing a sailor of Ilia watch and
221. in sovereigns.

Charles Mason stated thet he was a sailor, connected
with vessels trading into Yorkshire. Yesterday after-
noon he received from the Bank 221. and upwards in
sovereigns, and after doing so he went to several public-
houses and got intoxicated, and found himself at four
o'clock this morning in the Yorkshire Grey public-house,
in the Borough Market, where he had gone to sleep, and
upon his being woke up he discovered that his money,
which he had in a cotton bag in the inner pocket of his
coat, wa' gone, together with his watch and silver chain.
Two railway porters stated that they went into the
Yorkshire Grey public-house about half-past three this
morning to get refreshment, and they had not been long
there before the prisoner Daily came in and called for
a half pint of porter. Shortly afterwards, the prosecu •
for and the prisoner Sullivan entered together, the
pi osecutor being considerably the worse for liquor.
Shortly afterwards, the prosecutor laid down on the
bench and went to sleep ; and during that time they, both
of them, saw the prisoner Sullivan take the watch de-
liberately out of the prosecutor's.pocket and put it in his
own, at, the time observing that the prosecutor was his
brother-in-law, and that as he was the worse for liquor
he would take care of his property for him.
Upon being questioned by the magistrate, Daily said
he knew nothing of Sullivan, as he (Daily) had acci-
dentally entered the public-house in consequence of being
locked out of his lodgings. Sullivan said he had been
requested by the prosecutor to take charge of his pro-
perty.
Mr. Coombe sentenced Sullivan to two months' in.
prisonment, and discharged Daily with a caution.

THELATE ATTACK ON THE TCHERNAY A.

The Paris Correspondent of the Times in his
letter dated yesterday, 6 p.m., says :
.

" I find that the conduct of General Pelissier, whose
despatch of the battle of the Tchernaya appeared in the
Moniteur, is not so unanimously approved of by strategists
as one would suppose. It is certain that the Russians were
completely foiled in the attack on the positions of the Allies,
ani with enormous loss ; but it is thought that the French
General did not profit as he might have done by the
chances in his favour. I was known for two or three
days before that the Russian& were to advance in
great force ; and on the evening before it took
place he was informed by General d'Allonville that
he expected to be attacked during the night or early
in the morning to a certainty. Under such circum-
stances it is thought he should have massed his
troops in greater force, brought up his reserves,
and have made an effort to destroy completely the
Russian army, which he could not do with from
6,000 to 7,000 men, who were actually engaged. It is
also said that the General•ir,-Chief made his appearance
on the ground at a late hour. What truth there is
in this I am unable to state, or how far the criticism of
persons so distant from the scene of action is weli
founded. It is certain, however, that the matter is so
judged by some people of no mean authority in such
matters."
