" ANY ORNAMENTS FOR YOUR FIRE STOTES!'—
CAUTION TO FAMlLlES.—Elizabeth Moore, aged 32, was
brought before Mr. Paget, on remand, charged with being
in the house of Mr. Charles Butterworth, tailor, of No. 12,
Hereford-terrace, Oxford-street, Whitechapel, fur an un-
lawful putpose.

A few days since the prosecutor, who had been out on
business, returned to his home and went into his bedroom
to put a coat away, when he was astonished at seeing the
legs and feet of a woman under his bed. His astonishment
was, in fact, so great that he could not meddle with her,
and called to his wile, who exclaimed, "A woman under
our bed, I will soon have her out," and dragged the pri-
soner from under the bed, and also took from under the
same bed a basket containing ornamental paper shavings,
The prisoner rubbed her eyes and c•uled;out in a shrill clear
voice, "any ornaments for your fire stoves." Mrs Butter-
worth gave the prisoner into custody. She was searched at
the station house, and five skeleton keys for street doors
were bound upon her.
William Church, 304 K, said the prisoner pretended to be
very drunk when he was taken into custody, but he was of
opinion she knew perfectly well what she was about. She
was a vendor of ornaments for fire stoves, or pretended to
be so. Her stock in trade consisted of one basket of paper
shavings. The skeleton keys would open half the street
doors in London. Same of the women who called out any
ornaments for your fire stoves were thieves who got into
houses under cover of their ostensible occupation. The
prisoner first gave her address in Back-church-lane, White-
chapel, and afterwards at 1, George•street, Spitalfields. She
had lived in York-street, which contained a nest of thieves.
The prisoner, in defence, said that she was intoxicated
when she went into the tailor's house. She went under the
bed to lie down and have a sleep.

Mr Paget said if that had been the intention of the pri-
soner she would have laid down on the top of the bed, and
not concealed herself under it. He believed the prisoner
went into the house for the purpose of committing a felony.
She had called no witnesses, and had given a very unsatis
factory account of herself. He sentenced her to bo impri•
soned for one month and kept to bard labour.

BANK OF SAVOY.—A general meeting of the
shareholders of this establishment has just been
held at Annecy, Baron Ruphy presiding. The number of
persons present was 236, representing 2,716 shares, and
holding 488 votes. After reading the report, which ex-
plained the causes of the delay in the execution of the treaty
between the Bank of Savoy and M Emile Bereire, the pre-
sident submitted to the meeting the accounts of the past
year, which were unanimously approved of. After this vote
the Government Commissioner renewed the protest and
reserves previously made relative to the treaty
with M. Pereire, but declined to give any ex-
planation as to the motives for this opposition.
Documents showing the present state of the negotia-
tions with the Minister of Finance having been read,
a shareholder expressed the thanks of the meeting to the
board of directors and M. Pereire for the solicitude with
which they had defended the interests of the Bank. The
representatives of M. Pereire then renewed his assurances
that he would continue to use every means in his power tai
obtain the solution of the difficulties which delayed the exe-
cution of the treaty sanctioned by the general meeting of
the 4th October last. This declaration was received with
much applause. A shareholder next proposed that, if the
treaty were not approved of in a month, the directors should
be empowered to treat with the Bank of France for the
cession of the Bank of Savoy's privilege to issue notes.
This proposition was opposed by the directors, and
rejected by all the shareholders present, except two,
holding 77 votes. One of the directors then moved a re-
solution, declaring that the meeting protested against the
opposition now renewed by the Imperial Commisioner, and
charging the directors to use every means in their power to
put an end to the opposition made to the execution In
the treaty with M Pereire. This resolution was adopted
1 unanimously, with the exception of the two shareholders
whoh had voted for treating with the Bank of France.

A religious ceremony has just taken place at
Oloron•Sainte-Marie (Basses Pyrenees), on the occasion
of the inauguration, in the church of Ste. Croix, of the relics
of Saint Clement recently found in the catacombs of &me,
and presented by the Pope to the town.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. Henry
Ker Seymer, late M.P. for Doreetehire, who died
on Saturday last at Ranaton, Dorset, the seat of Sir Edward
Baker, aged 57. Mr Ker Seymer was one of the most re-
spected members of the house. Hs was a man of much
intelligence and many accomplishments, and, though
never in office, would have been, in the estimation of his
many friends, a most efficient servant of the Crown, if he
had not preferred to maintain his independence in a private
static u.

A railway accident occurred on Friday last on
the Antwerp and Lierre line, from a train running off the
rails when near Bouchot. Details are wanting, but six or
eight persons are said to have received injuries, and two are
reported to have since died. Some impediment is believed
to have been wilfully placed on the rails.

COPENHAGEN.— rhe Rev. &ix. Stevenson Ellis,
M.A., chaplain of her Majesty's Legation at Copenhagen,
has lately received a gratifying token of the regard ana
esteem in which he is held by the members of the English
Church in this city. The ladies of his congregation, headed
by Duly Paget, have presented him with a full set of
canonicals and academicals, in acknowledgment of his long
and faithful services among them. Mr Ellis had the honour
of being for several years one of the tutors of his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark and of his Majesty
tho present King of Greece, and also of reading for some
months with her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra,
previous to her leaving Denmark to become Princess of
