and, although he bad tried his utmost, he was not success-
ful in finditSg him until yesterday (Sunday), when he went
to No. 23, Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and
having waited a short time, the prisoner walked
in. He told the prisoner that he should charge
him with stealing a pint pot from the Adam's
Arms. The prisoner said " Wait a bit," and then took two
pewter measures fr m his pocket, at the same time stating
they were pots he had had beer in. He then took the pri-
soner into custody when he offered him (1 he constable) 65.,
telling him that he would also get £2 from his brother,
which he would also give him to let him go. At the room

THAMES.

A SILLY CAPTAII4.—Mary Miller, a Ratcliff-highway
girl, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with steal•
ing a silver watch, valued at £6, and 30s in silver, from the
person of John Perfect, the master of the sloop Ebenezer,
lying in the London dock. She was also charged with
biting Alfred Herbert, No 210 H.
It appeared that Captain Perfect was out on a cruise a
few days since, and met with the prisoner, who took him in
tow, and he accompanied her to a public-house in Ratcliff-
highway, where he treated her with lots of grog. A couple
of darkeys, as Ethiopian serenaders (white men with
their faces blackened) indulged the couple with music,
and Captain Perfect, who was quite delighted with
their strains, took from his pocket 13 or 14 half-crowns
and gave them some money. He fell asleep directly after-
wards, and when he was aroused by the landlord, his sweet-
heart was gone, the musicians had vanished, and his silver
watch, valued at £6, and all his money had disappeared.
His gold chain was hanging loess in front of him. The
prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. She resisted
being searched by Airs Crosier, the female search,er, and
assaulted her. Herbert, a constable, No. 210 H, went to
the assistance of Mrs Crosier, and the prisoner attacked
him and biehis hand.

Mr Joseph Levy, the landlord of the Kettle Drum,
Ratciiff-highway, said the captain of the Ebenezer was
only in his house a few moments. He was informed the
two darkeys took Captain Perfect's watch, and the prisoner
took his 'Loney.

Mr Partridge said the captain was a silly fellow to go to
sleep in a public •house with money and a silver watch with
gold chain about him. He was only surprised that the
gold chain was not stolen. It would be useless to send this
case for trial. He discharged the prisoner as far as the
felony was concerned, and committed her to prison for a
month for the assault.

MY SISTER'S GOLD WA.TM.—Atnelia Harwood, a well-
known thief, was brought before Islr Partridge charged with
stealing a gold watch, value £lO,
a silk neckerchief, and a
silk pocket handkerchief from the person of Thos. Croxon,
a seaman, of No. 3, Forest-vale, Sydenham.
The prosecutor said he had been at sea seven years. He
lived with his sister in Forest-vile. On Friday he came to
Rateliff-highway to see the fan and the girls. He borrowed
his sister's gold watch to wear and look smar!. He met
the prisoner, and she took him home to 3, Elbow-lane,
Shadwell. He coin 101 l asleep, and when he awoke his
sister's gold watch, his neckerchief, his handkerchief, his

prisoner with taking his property and money, and she said
"If I don't give up everything you will say I stole it." She
delivered to him his purse empty, a pawnbroker's duplicate
relating to his sister's gold watch, and another duplicate
relating to his Pak neckerchief. The witness then identi-
fied his property.

The prisoner—You gave one leave to pawn the things.

in pawn for six pennyworth of gin, which the prisoner and
her companions drank.

The prisoner said she had leave and license to pawn the
whole of the property.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner gave a fictitious name
and address when she pawned the watch and neckerchief,
There was no doubt shs pawned everything produced with-
out the consent of the foolish sailor she inveigled into her
lodgings. He fined her 20a. and £lO, the value of the

THE FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE LOSSES IN
VIRGINIA.—The .Richmond
Dispatch of June 9
gives the following comparative estimate of the losses in the
two armies .—" We think it may be safely asserted that, since
war first became known to mankind, no
General ever sacri
ficed his men so recklessly, so remorselessly, and to so little
purpose as Gen. Grant. He started from his camp on the
north side GI the Rappahannock little more than a month
ago with 130,000 men. 119 has been reinforced, according to
the statements of his friends, by more than 80,000 eince that
time—viz., Stanton says he sent him 25,000 veterans after
the battle of the 12th of May; Butler has sent him 20,000,
and prisoners say he has received 40,000 from Ohio and other
sources, making a total of. 85,000. Yet his army at this
day, in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, does not
greatly exceed 100,000 men, and is certainly greatly inferior
in numbers to what it was when he started on his crusade.
He lost 75,000 in Spottsylvania, and his losses in Hanover
cannot have fallen very far short of 25,000. Thus he has
sacrificed 100,000 men, the flower not only of his own troops,
but of the whole United States army. In return he has
effected nothing, absolutely nothing. Lee's entire loss since
the campaign opened does not amount to 17,000, all told,
killed. wounded, and missing. He bas never once been
forced from a position, and has only fallen back when his
enemy, despairing of victory, has attempted to slide off to
his left, and get in hie rear, without fat ther fighting. Grant
in the meantime has been brought up before M'Clellan's old
lines beyond the Chickahominy, and is not able to take a
mingle step in advance. He has thrown away 100,0Cr0 men
to obtain what he could haw bad for nothing."
