SUREy SESSIONS-(THIS DA y. )

The Octcber Sessions for the county of Surrey com-
menced this morning at the Court-house, &willton-
causeway. The calendar contained the names of 59 pri-
soners for trial, 54 for felonies, and five for misde-
meanours.
James Litstead, 23, a young man, of good connexions,
pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing two haii.erowns
the property of his master, Mr. James Chapman,n
a linen
draper, at Etixton, and was sentenced to nine months'
hard labour at Wandsworth. It was
ascertained the
prisoner had been very extravagant since in the prose-
cutor's employ. He kept, his boat at Searle's, and asso-
ciated with '' fast men."

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES. —On
Saturday, information was forwarded to the various metro-
politan and city police stations that a man named Jenkins,
recently arrived from California, had been robbed of 650/in
101. notee, and a draft on Rothschild's banking.house, for
4501., by some sharpere.
THE LATE EXTENiIVE ROBBERY IN TUE STRAND.
—No clue to the parties concerned in the robbery of watches
and jewellery at Mr. Jones's has yet been discovered, and
the police appear to have been completely foiled in all their
attempts to discover the perpetrators. Mr. Jones himself is
under the impression that some of the parties may yet be
induced to come forward by the offer of his large reward, and
is strengthened in this by the fact that it was nearly five
weeks after the robbery of plate anti jewellery at Messrs.
Savory's, in Cornhill, when a communication was made to
them to the effect that the whole of the property would be
restored upon the payment of a certain stipulated sum.
ANOTHER EXTENSIVE BURGLARY,--OR Saturday
morning, abort four o'clock, as Police-constable Smith, 111
C, was taking his customary examing round, he discovered
that the door of the White Bear Tavern, in Berwick-street'
Oxford-street, was not in that state of security that he had
left it on his previous visit. lie at once aroused the inmates
and on Mr. Searle, the landlord, admitting him, it was found
that burglars had been on the premises, and had broken open
a cupboard in the bar-parlour, and carried off 551. in gold,
silver, and country notes. The thieves had also attempted
with much /iolence, but fortunately without success, to
force open an iron safe, in which was lodged between 8001.
and 9001. From no external marks of a forcible entry being
visible, it is presumed that a boy had concealed himself on
the premises late the previous night, who at the fitting hour
had admitted his more expert accomplices.
EXTENSIVE RAILWAY RounEur.---Several rob-
beries have recently taken place of valuable packages of
goods from the goods shed of the Midland Railway Com-
pany at Bristol, and, among others, was one, about three
weeks since, containing 35/. worth of sewing silk and silk
twist, which had been consigned to Mr. Lindrea, Maryle-
port-street, Bristol. Inquiries were set en foot, and the re-
sult has been the apprehension of two men named Charles
Delatouche and Charles Derrett.
STEAM NAVIGATION.—Letters received from New
York, aunounce the formation, :in that city, of a company
with the object of establishing a direct steam communica-
tion to the Rio de la Plata and Paraguay.
NEW RAILWAY.—It is now fully decided to make
an application in the ensuing Session of Parliament,
under the immediate auspices of the Great Western
company, for powers to form a line of railway from
