BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A young man of respectable appearanc,r, named James Hell, a cotton
steam weaver, residing at Crostones, near Bury, in Lancashire, was
placed at the bar, charged with stealing from the person of
Smith, quarter-master of her Majesty's ship Tribunal, two 51. Bank of
England Notes, three Sovereigns, and other money his property.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that having been
paid off at Chatham, he was yesterday proceeding on foot from Graves-
end to Dartford, and being overtaken by the prisoner who fell into
conversation with him, he related several of his adventures in foreign
climes. The prisoner, on being acquainted that he had just become
possessed of a quantity of money, complained of his great distress saying,
he had not tasted food for the last two days, and after treating him to
every nourishment that he required, they arrived in Woolwich, where
the prisoner was jiined by a female who had no means to pay her passage
to town. The prosecutor by this time was drunk, and instantly oirered
to pay the fare for the prisoner and his friend, and while on board he
was strongly advised by the prisoner to lay himself down, and have
a sleep before he went ashore. In consequence of the plausible
manner of the prisoner he complied, and during his slumbers
found him take the pocket-book, containing the money in question, from
his trowsers. When the steamer arrived at the wharf, there was a dis-
pute about the fare, as the prosecutor refused to perform his contract,
alleging, that he was robbed, and during the scuffle the prisoner leaped
ashore, but was prevented by the passengers from making his escape and
the women slipped away in the confusion. On searching the prisoner,
there were only a sovereign and a few half-pence found upon him.
In answer to the charg: the prisoner said, he never received any kind-
ness from the prosecutor, but he treated hint several times while on the
journey. He was then ordered to be brought up again tomorrow.
Jane Wood was convicted of stealing two pieces of printed calico from
the shop door of Bernard Doyle, 1, Oxford-street, and ordered. to be
fully committed for trial.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON COLONEL CAMP-
DELL.--Yesterday an inquest was held in the Board.rocm of St. George's
Hospital, Hyd s Park-corner, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Colonel
Michael Horace Campbell, aged 68. James Jones, police constable,
about nine o'clock on Saturday night last, was on duty in Knightsbridge.
In passing Goding's brewhouse he observed the deceased, who was walk-
ing towards Kensington. Between ten and eleven o'clock the same night,
witness, in going his rounds, discovered him lying on the pathway near
the Barracks, quite insensible, and bleeding from a wound over the right
eye.. Witness obtained assistance, and the deceased was removed to
the station house. By the Coroner—When I first saw the deceased,
about nine o'clock, I considered that he was intoxicated. He was
alone at the time. It rained very hard at the time. I spoke to
the deceased when I saw him about nine o'clock, and offered to sec
him home. He replied, "I am not tipsey, my good man, and I shall
soon be at home." When I discovered him on the ground I suspected
he had been robbed and ill used, but I did not hear any cries for assist.
ance. Mrs. Campbell, the widow of the deceased, stated that deceased
had served in the army upwards of fifty years. During the Peninsular
war he was aide-de-camp to Sir Thomas Piston. He had been wounded
several times ; once severely in the head, and when he took a little more
wine than usual, he completely lost himself. He left home on Saturday
morning last to sce a friend at the west end of the town. Ilc did not re.

intelligence of his being in St. George's Hospital. Verdict—" Acci-

The Tories of Kidderminster, and of some other
places, most doggedly decline to join the Liberals in celebrating the
Coronation of her Majesty. The utmost civility has been evinced to.

CORONATION IN EDINBURGII.--We understand
that, at a preliminary meeting of some of the principal inhabitants
of this city, of all politics and professions, held in the Council (-ham_
hers on Monday, the Lord Provost in the chair, it was unanimously re-
solved that there should be a public evening entertaimmnt on the dth
inst., on the occasion of her Majesty's Coronation; and it was farther
unanimously resolved, that provided the necessary sum cans be raised by
snbscriptinn for attaining a splendid display of fireworks, an illumina.
tion should be din.pcnsed with, and arrangements made with the anther-
Cities to that effect. We trust that the inhabitants will therefore come
forward liberally in support of the latter resolution, as they will thereby
save much expense to themselves, and avoid the great inconvenience
of lighting up their houses—affording at the wept time greater gratitea
tion to the general public.—Scotsman.
