WORSHIP-STREET.

William Byc and Richard Webb, two young men,
who were said to be known thieves, were charged with
having stolen fifty copies of Meadow's " French and
Eng!ish History" (in sheets), the property of Messrs.
Tegg, the publishers in Cornhill.

It appeared that on Friday se'nnight Robert Barlow,
an errand boy, in the service of Mr. Harley, book-
binder, Britannia-street, City-road, was conveying the
property from the prosecutor's shop to that of his mas-
ter, when he was overtaken by the prisoner Bye and
another man, the former of whom tapped him on the
shoulder, and said he had been sent after him from Mr.
Tegg's to take back the parcel he was carrying, as it
contained the wrong work, and he was to return in an
hour and a half for the right one. The boy unsuspect-
ingly resigned the property, which the two fellows car-
ried off ; but on going hack at the appointed time he
discovered he had been duped by thieves. Handbills
containing a minute description of the fellows, and offer-
ing a reward of 3/. for their apprehension, were imme-
diately circulated.
Sergeant Brennan, G 20, stated that he had been in
search of the thieves, and having met the two prisoners
who exactly answered their description, he apprehended
them the preceding evening in Shoreditch. The prisoner
Webb was the❑ carrying a bundle of waste paper on his
head. He knew them both well, particularly the pri-
soner Bye, against whom he expected to establish a
second successful case of robbery upon a boy by a simi-
lar device. He produced the property, which had been
sold as waste paper to a tradesman in Aylesbury-street,
for Ils., although worth as many guineas.
It was proved that the prisoners had offered, on the
day of the robbery, a great quantity of sheets of books
as waste paper.

They denied the charge, and said they were in the
employ of Mr. Jenkins, in the Borough, who was in
the habit of receiving quantities of waste paper from
drinting offices.—They were remanded till Wednesday.

THE OXFORD-STREET EXPERI-
MENTAL WOOD PAVING AND REMOVAL
OF HACKNEY CARRIAGES THEREFROM.

On Saturday at the usual meeting of the ,Marylebone
Vestry, the removal of hackney carriagti froto Oxford-
street, which has frequently been the subject a discus-
sion, was again brought before the Vestry, purse:int to
a special notice, The following was the resolution
adopted :—" That hackney-coach stands should be
allowed to stand only between Charles-street and New
man-street, from Vere-street to the west end of Mary-
lebone-lane, and !rout Orchard-street to Portman-street."

SUPPRESSION OF SUNDAY TRADIN•.
Mr. COPELAND rose to make a motion of which he
had given notice, to the effect " That the Vestry should
co-operate, without resorting to pains and penalties, in
suppressing the system of Sunday trading throughout
that parish?' This subject involved no political or reli-
gious controversy, but merely had the object in view
of bettering the moral condition of society. They had
already seen the advances which had been made towards
that end by the recent enactment of the Legislature,
prohibiting the opening of public-houses on Sunday
mornings.—(Hear, hear.) The neighbouring parishes
had set them an example, and he held in his hand a
communication from soffe of them, which he begged
the Vestry Clerk would read.
Mr. FLOOD here read communications from the pa-
rishes of St. Anne and St. James, Westminster, request-
ing the Vestry to co-operate with them in the suppres-
sion of Sunday trading.
The Rev. Dr. DIBDIN seconded the resolution. It
would not. only tend to the increase of morality, but to
the increase of religion of every denomination.—(Hear.)
It would contribute to the social comforts of society from
the poor man's cot to the rich man's palace.
Mr. GIBSON would oppose with all his might this
species of St. Andrew Agnew-ism, which was the bitter
observance of the Sabbath, and not a better. He main-
tained it had come to his knowledge that in one esta-
blishment 200 men did not get their pay till 10 or 11
o'clock on Saturday night ; and he would ask, what
would the wives and families of those poor creatures do
if they had not the privilege of procuring food on the
Sabbath day ? He could only say this resolution had
been founded upon a false idea, or perhaps, what was
worse, canting hypocrisy—(" Hear,"and " No.")

Mr. CLAri supported the motion.
Mr. KENSETT moved an amendment to the' effect
" That the laws established by the Legislature' being
amply sufficient to preserve the sanctity of the Sat; bath
day, any interference on the pars of that Vestry was 1"'

expedient and uncalled for."
Mr. JOSEPH would vote in favour of the amendment.
If it were the intention to make this land a conventicle,
and that the poor should not be permitted to breathe
God's air on the Sabbath day—(Hear, and" No, no")----
then he would say that he would at once set his face
against it.—( Hear.) If a repetition of the days of Oliver
Cromwell were intended, he would assert that secret
crime, instead of innocent recreation, would be the result.
—(Cries of " Hear.") He thought that example was far
better than force.—(Hear, hear.) The original reso-
lution would institute nothing more or less than an in-
tolerant crusade against the rights and privileges
poor.—( Hear, and cries of " No."
For the motion
For the amendment l4
Majority for the better observance of of the
the Sabbath
The Vestry adjourned.

GROWTH OF POTATOES.--A lady in this town
has favoured us with some particulars respecting an ex-
periment made in the growth of potatoes, which having
seen the produce, we ,can vouch for as as being highly
successful. The experiment consists in raising potatoes
from the rhoots or growths thrown out from other Po-
tatoes kept in the cellar in spring. They were planted
in the garden on the 26th of May, about a month later
than potatoes are planted in general, and lifted on the
19th of September, a month sooner than they are lifted
for housing ; at one stalk there were nine potatoes the
size of eggs ; at another two large ones, one of them
weighing f lb. 2oz. The cultivator is of opinion, that had
the shoots been planted a month sooner, there would have
been an excellent and early crop. The shoots should. be
about ten or twelve inches in length, and dibbled into
prepared ground, and all covered except the two small
leaves at the top. None of the potatoe should be planted
along with the shoot ; but they are the better to have a
good many fibres thrown out from the root end of the
shoot. The advantages to be derived from the above
method are, the saving of seed in a season of
pla scarcnity:
tea
and the potatoes being a month earlier than those
in the usual way.—lnverness Courier.
