A fine aurora borealis was visible at Havre two
evenings ago from six to seven o'clock. The hills of
Ingouville appeared to be surmounted by a luminous glow
of blue colour, from which darted at intervals flashes of a
deep mi. The glow was at times so intense that several
persona imagined that a fire must have broken out in that
direction.

Cardinal Wiseman is announced to lecture on
Friday, Jan. 30, at the Royal Institution, on the points of
contact between science an art,

ROBBERY BY A. CHARWOMAN. —Eliza Jess, a char-
woman, Ting in Carnaby-street, was charged before Mr.
Knox with stealing a crape shawl, some brooches and
bracelets, and other articles of the value of £6 from Mr.
Wm. Fenn, whitesmith, of 10, West-street, Golden-square.
Mr. Fenn said the prisoner had been in his employ some
time as charwoman. For some months he had missed se-
veral articles, amongst others bracelets, rings, brooches, a
crape shawl, a coral necklace, &c. Suspecting the pri-
soner to be the person who had taken the articles he gave
information to the police.
Mr. Edward Stafford, jeweller, of Princes-street, said
that about Lye weeks ago the prisoner brought some of the
articles produced to his shop, and he bought them of her
for 4s. 6d, She also brought him a coral necklace which
he bought, but had since sold.

Mr. Knox—To one 3f your regular customers
Witness—No, sir. _ _

Mr. Knox—Did you ask any questions of the prisoner
Witness--I asked her if they were her own, and she said

they were,

Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said between nine a, d ten the pre-
vious night he saw the prisoner in Carnaby-street, and from
the description he had received he suspected she was the
person he was in search of. Seeing her he asked;if her name
was Jess, and whether she had worked at Mr. Fenn's; she
answered both questions in the affirmative. He then
asked if she was aware that several things had been stolen
from Mr. Fenn, and she said she was. He then told her
that he was a police officer and that he should take her
into custody, and cautioned her. On going to her room he
found two duplicates relating to articles which she said did
not belong to Mr. Fenn, but to another person she worked
for. She then said that she had sold some studs belonging
to Mr. Fenn to a Mr. Benjamin, and two brooches, two
rings, and a necklace to a little jeweller in Princes-street.
She also said that she had pledged the crape shawl and two
brooches at Mr. Bertram's, pawnbroker, in Princes. street.
The prisoner said that as she had told him (Cole), she
hoped the prosecutor would be lenient with her, and that
she did not know what possessed her to do it.
In answer to a question from Mr, Knox, Sergeant Cole
said that he was afraid drink was the cause of the prisoner
acting as she had done, and that it was not the first time.
She was remanded for a week.
