MARLBO.ROUGII-STREET.-(THIS 1M Y.)

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.
Leon Nathan, a Dutch Jew, was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing a purse con-
taining 431. in gold, and seven shillings in silver, the
property of Mr. J. Solomon, of r2l, Poland-street.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that
on Saturday morning last, the defendant, whom he
looked upon as a friend, partook of breakfast at his
(prosecutor's) residence, and, while there, prosecutor
had occasion to take some silver from a purse which
contained the sum named in the charge, and which he
afterwards deposited in a table drawer in the room.
The prisoner, having finished his breakfast, left the
house, and directly he was gone he missed the purse and
its contents. He immediately procured the assistance
of King, an active officer of the C division, and they
both went in pursuit of the prisoner, whom they traced
to London-bridge Wharf, where he was taken into cus-
tody. A portion of the stolen money—amongst which
was a cracked sovereign, which prosecutor identified—
was found upon him.
On the application of Police-constable King, Mr.
Hardwick remanded prisoner for a week.

COLLISION AND Loss OF A LARGE STEAM-BOAT.—
Last night (Sunday), about half-past eight o'clock, a
fearful accident took place on the river Thames, near
London-bridge, which has resulted in the sinking of the
Niobe, London and Woolwich steam-boat, and serious
injury to the Regent, trader from Maidstone to London.
It appears that the Regent was proceeding up the
river with a full cargo, being towed by the crew with
the aid of their boat, when in passing under the bridge
the men espied the steam-boat making way towards
them. They therefore cried out to the people in the
steamer to alter their course, but before that was done the
theNitholilaroob.neueialtilniomidltiaitei,,e Regent came into violent collision with each
other, so much so that when they struck they made a
noise like the discharge of a gun. It was soon seen that
the steam-boat was the most injured of the two vessels,
