SERIOUS CHARGE OF RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—
Some excitement has been occasioned in Gloucester by a
case which has been heard before the magistrate, involv-
ing a charge of a very serious nature against parties
respectably connected there and elsewhere. Mrs. Mary
Wingate, of that city, was charged with having received
from her Brother, Henry Brookes, and disposed of, a
large quantity of articles of various descriptions, well
knowing the same to have been stolen. The case was
brought before the magistrate by one of the Liverpool
detective police named Povey. Evidence at consider-
able length was gone into, but the facts are briefly
as follows :—Brookes was foreman to Mr. Easter,
of George-crescent, Liverpool, a general merchant,
having a large establishment. While in his employ,
Mr. Easter missed a large quantity of goods, and
suspicion falling upon the foreman, an officer was
sent to apprehend him, but he decamped. However,
his wife and son, who carries on business in the accor-
dion line, and a Mrs. Hall, sister to Brookes,
have been committed for trial as participators in
the robbery, and certain goods having been traced
to Gloucester, Mrs. Wingate was apprehended, and it
was ascertained that at various times during the last
three years she had sold a quantity of goods of different
descriptions to tradesmen in Gloucester. Of these, a
number gave evidence before the magistrates. Mrs.
Maysey, toy-dealer, had at intervals in the last two
years purchased of her gentlemens' dressing cases,
purses, pocket-books, and other articles ' • Mr. Henley,
stationer, had purchased five " Lady's Companions,"
and a dressing case ; Mr. Ladkin, hairdresser, a dress-
ing case and three purses ; Mr. Golder, watchmaker, a
cigar case, dressing case, purse, and other articles, since
sold ; Mr. Dobell, watchmaker, bought two gold pencil
cases for ss. or 7s. ; Mr. Mann, jeweller, a card case
and dressing case ; and Mr. Gregory, another silver-
smith, some scissors, and a silver pencil case. To some
of these parties Mrs. Wingate 'represented that the
goods had been handed to her by a debtor in lieu of
cash, and to others she stated that her brother had
made her a present of them. The magistrates hav-
ing heard the evidence, sent the prisoner for trial at
Liverpool.
DARING ROBBERY.—At Stockton-on-Tees, on Wed-
nesday morning last, shortly after that old and long-
established shop of Messrs. William and Thomas Farmer,
High-street, jewellers, silversmiths, &c., was opened
for the weekly market-day'g business, two men entered,
in a most deliberate manner, who were observed by the
family through a glass door, from a back room, when
Mr. Thomas Farmer re-entered the shop, which he had
only just left, no doubt under the cheering prospect of
giving attention to welcome customers on such a day as
this ; but lo ! before Mr. Farmer had time to salute his
visitors with the compliments of the morning, one had,
unseen, again walked into the streets, leaving his cora-
panion dv

apply to the British ambassador for a passport, and find
that they cannot have one. All that the ambassador can
do is to furnish them with a document to enable them to
reach a seaport, and embark for England. No person
should therefore embark for France without a passport,
even for the reasons here given ; but there are many
others which render the possession of a passport of the
first importance.
EXTRAORDINARY ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF ICE.

Amongst the various articles that have advanced in price
through the weather, is ice, which has risen from 14s a
ton to 18s a cwt, the former being its price four months
ago. At an early hour yesterday carts laden with this
refrigerating luxury arrived in London, where they
quickly met with liberal purchasers.
