HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday, TVilliain Osborne and Frederick Selby, lads,
were placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a silver
ewer and several silver tea spoons, the property of Augustus
Henrot, Esq., of Queen-square, Bloomsbury.
Mary Dalton, servant to the prosecutor, yesterday mor.n.ing.
had occasion to lerve the kitchen for a short time, and on mer
return she missed the ewer and spoons, and onlooking throatjh
the window she saw the prisoner Osborne, going up the areas
steps. She immediately pursued him with the c:y of 4. Stop'
thief,,, when he joined the other prisoner, and they were over-
taken with the property in their possession.
The prisoners were remanded.

QUEEN- S QUARE.
Eliza Hilton, a girl whose age could not possibly have cx..-
ceeded 20 years, was charged with violent and outrageous et,"
duct in Tothill-fields prison.
It appeared from the evidence of the gaolers and
matron:
that the prisoner had been sent to the prison in February! for
being disorderly in the streets. During her term of imprison-
ment she exercised her pugilistic powers on all her fellow-.
prisoners, kicked the turnkeys, beat the vrardswoman, Spat at
the Governor, did divers damage, and abused the matron, I°r
which, on the term of imprisonment having expired, she w"
brought to this office, and was, in order to keep up the prisons
discipline, sent back to her old quarters for another month.;
Her conduct after this, if possible, was worse than before, and,
on the 22d and 24th of March, she had regular " field days
she blacked one turnkey's eye, kicked and otherwise assaulted
another, and repeated her former misbehaviour to the governor
and matron, doing damage to everything that came in her waY•
Her time having expired, she was again brought up for these
offences.

Mr. GREGORIE was of opinion that she was determined to
spend the remainder of her days in prison, and asked the de-
fendant what she had to say ? The girl cried, but made no
reply.
Mr. GREGORIE said that she must suffer two mouths' im—
prisonment for each offence, but on her expressing the utmost
contrition, and promising to conform to the discipline of the
prison, he reduced it to one month's imprisonment.

" Topsail Sheet Blocks ; or, The Naval Foundling?'
The Old Sailor" has here given to the public another
very capital " yarn." It is a regular sailor-like story, breat !l-
ing a sea-like freshness, and ever-and-anon dashing forward
over time and space with hearty vigour. The hero of tine
tale is introduced at a very early stage, being, in fact, pr e-
sented while a baby, turned adrift in a boat by his unnatural
parent, but picked up in Plymouth Sound by a jolly veteran,
named Will Blocks, under whose superintendence he advances
to high honour in his profession, and not only obtains a title,
but discovers to whom he belongs. The descriptions of s ea-
fights are admirable ; nor are the incidents on shore of a 'less
exciting- and interesting character. " The Old Sailor" seems
so much at home in the sheets, that we hope soon to halo
another specimen of his naval architecture, either out vrard-
bound or bound another way.—Courier. [The Novelist
who has, under the name of " The Old Sailor," acquired
such a high reputation by his stories of the sea (his Tough
Yarns," his Nights at Sea," &c.), ought now, like " Boa,'
to be known to the public under his real name, M. H. Baylor:
since some of our contemporaries erroneously give his pro-
ductions to other writers.]
