MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING ♦ SITUATION BY MEANS OF FALSE REPRE-
SENTATIONS.—CONVICTION,—Richard Hazell, a barman,
was charged as follows :—Mr. Wm. Michael Davis, of the
Britannia, Portland street, Soho, said he advertised for a
barman, and the prisoner applied for the situation, and his
daughter, who managed his business, he being infirm, en-
gaged him, he representing that he had been 18 months in
his previous situation, but from what he (Mr. Davis) had
since learnt, he had only been out of prison three months
for a similar offence.

Mr. Davis's daughter said she managed her father's
business, and the prisoner applied for the situation, stating
that he had left his forme: one at Mrs. Martindale's, Sey-
mour Chambers, Duke-street, Adelphi, seven or eight
weeks, and that his name was Charles Stephens. He also
said that he had a good character, and only left because
there was no further occasion for his services. Mrs.
Martindale gave her a good account of Charles Stephens,
and in consequence she took tho prisoner into her employ.
Mrs. Susan Martindale, of Seymour Chambers, said she
had had a servant named Charles Stephens, and he left her
seven or eight weeks since, but he was not the prisoner,who
was an entire stranger to her.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who
appeared fcr the prisoner, said ho had no answer to the
charge, the Magistrate remarking at the same time that it
was a very bad one.

Mr. Thomas Brown, wine merchant, of 34, Great
Quebec-street, Montagu-square, said the prisoner had been
in his employ, and all the while he was with him he robbed
him of about £1 a day. He charged the prisoner, and he
was convicted of the robbery at Clerkenwell.
The prisoner was ordered to pay a penalty of £2O, or to
be imprisoned for three months.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND
'
—A telegram received last evening states that the Electric
and International Telegraph Company's no,
submarine
cable for connecting England with Ireland has been suc-
cessfully laid down between the coasts of Pembroke and
Wexford in perfect working order. The cable, manufac-
tured by Glass, Elliott, and Co., is 63 miles in length, e
con-
tains four conducting wires insulated with gutta percha and
other materials on the latest improved methods, and is pro-
tected by 12 heavy iron strands, the total weight being

of protecting the iron corrosion and decay. The adoption
of this principle is likely to have a mostimportantinflaence
on the further progress of submarine telegraphy as tending
to ensure the durabiltty of cables for an indefinite period,
and to render investments of capital in such undertakings

MIGRATION OP BETTING MEN. The betting
fraternity who used to congregate in such large force in
Bride-lane, Fleet-street, but who wero ultimately driven
out of that neighbourhood by the city police after a stout
resistance, have now found quarters in a less desirable part
of the town—namely, in Castle-street, Long-acre, just at
the junction of the two parishes of St. Martin's-in-the-
fields and St Giles's-in-the-fields. At this spot a crowd of
some hundreds of betting sharps assembled yesterday. All
of them were provided with little memorandum books, in
which they carefully entered their transactions, and, judg-
ing from the animated conversation which took place, and
the eagerness which was displayed, it appeared that busi-
ness was thriving. The spot alluded to is just under the
dark shade of Combe and Delafield's brewery, Here the
betting men are not molested by the police, There was only
one police officer present at the busiest time yesterday,
