MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday James and Robert Cuthbertson, (bro-
thers), James Cooper, Walter Dougall, Duncan
Cameron, abd Joseph Jones, all privates in the
Scotch Fusileer Guards, were brought up from
Portman-street Barracks, where they had been in
confinement since Saturday last, on a charge of
robbing a young woman named Catherine Madden,
of a silver watch and purse, containing 1/. 12s. It
appeared that the prosecutrix (who was servant to
Mrs. Clerry, of Queen-street, May-fair), had been
for some time courted by James Cuthbertson, and
being sent out on Friday evening on an errand,
went to see him at the barracks, and afterwards
was induced to treat him and the other prisoners
with liquor at the Canteen She changed a sove-
reign, and the change was given to James Cuth-
bertson to take care of until he saw her home. At
length the liquor began to affect her, and she became
sick. When James Cuthbertson left her about nine
o'clock she recovered, but she was found by the
serjeant of the regiment with her gown off,,and very
much torn, her bonnet in the same state, and the
upper part of her person entirely exposed. It was
then found she had been robbed of her watch and
purse. The serjeant took Robert Cuthbertson,
Cooper, and Jones, to the guard-room and searched
them. On Cooper and Jones nothing was found,
bat on Robert Cuthbertson was found the young
woman's purse, with ss. 6d. in it, and some other
silver in his pocket. James Cuthbertson was searched,
having been found in bed, but had no money about
him ; however, in an adjoining bed belonging to a
soldier then on guard was found 10s., which he ad-
mitted having put there. In the room where they
had been drinking a black ribbon and key belonging
to the watch were picked up, but no trace of the
watch itself could be discovered. The young wo-
man paid dearly for her indiscretion, as her mistress
refused to admit her when she returned home. James
and Robert Cuthbertson were fully committed for
trial, but the rest were discharged.

A girl of dubious character was placed at the bar
before F. A. ROE, Esq., charged with violently as-
saulting another young woman named Smith.
Both, in consequence of a mere faux pas, found
themselves in the cells of St. James's " Priory ;"
and after each had resigned themselves to the drowsy
god for a few hours, the conversation turned on the
all-engrossing topic of Burking. The defendant
expressed her opinion that some dozens, especially
of their unfortunate class, fell a victim to the power
of " burgamy pitch ;" and having concluded her
harangue, inquired the other's opinion on the sub-
ject. Miss Smith was no alarmist, and she stoutly
.and loudly declared that it was only done to allay
the popular excitement attendant on the Reform
Bill. Whether it was the spirit of contradiction so
inherent in the sex which prevailed, or whether it
was that the defendant entertained an idea that her
opponent was an Anti-Reformer, did not appear,
but she immediately exclaimed, " Then you don't
believe that they do Burke people ?" The com-
plainant, who was firm as a rock, rejoined. " No, I
don't." Whereupon the defendant pounced on
Miss Smith like a tiger-cat, and demolished her
bonnet and cloak, literally tearing them into ritt-
bous, all the while exclaiming, " I'll learn you to
contradict me. l'll Burke you ;" which threat Miss
,Smith verily believed she would have carried into
effect had not the constable interfered.
The defendant was ordered to pay for the assault
205., or be committed in default for one month, and
at the expiration of that time to receive 15 days'
imprisonment, on the charge of gross misbehaviour
in the public street.
The defendant had not been out of the dock five
minutes ere she was again put in, charged with
breaking two panes of glass in the clerk's office on
;her way to the lock-up room.
Mr. ROE inquired of the female whether she had
the money to pay for the broken panes ? Defendant
—No, I Itav'n't a farthing. It's a very hard case,
but I don't get one day's liberty now out of a twelve-
month. I'm always in prison.
Mr. ROE sentenced her, in addition to the former
punishment,
to 15 days' confinement for the wilful
damage done to the office-property.

We are informed that his Royal Highness
the Duke of SUSSEX, who has for some time been enjoy-
ing the hospitality of Lord DINOREEN, leaves Kimmel
next week for his residence in Kensington Palace,
During his visit at Kimmel the Royal Duke had an at-
tack of the gout; and although, as we learn with pleasure,
he is much better, the severe weather is not very favour-
able to his perfect recovery.— Curnareon Herald.

ADVENTURES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
__BY Ross Cox, Esq. (Just Published).—" This is
assuredly one of the most interesting publications that
have lately ieaued from the Press. It brings again before
us, in all the attractions of freshness and novelty, the
manners and habits of the aboriginal inhabitants of Ame-
rica. Have the fraud and violence of Europe's fair aooa
left one survivor of the old proprietors of our new world !
Is there as yet an unappropriated wilderness or forest, or
savannah, through or over which the loot of an unsubdued
i'ed-man may pursue the deer or the laufalo ? Has the
encroaching back-woodsman met with a eci3e.ience or
bounds, or Canada and California learned to respect
vested rights? Has not the gradually contracting circle
of the civilized hunter closed finally upan its game? Quien
tube? For our part, it is so long since we Lave beard of a
tomahawk, or a war-whoop, that we had been under an
impression that the whole ill-treated race of uws and quois
had taken refuge bni since in the land of spirits. Mr.
Cox dispels our illusion, and brings us iat intervietv with
as savage and unshackle! 'tows of thew oods, as Ever smoked
the calumet of peace With L Parna."—..Mor4/1,7

A RA VEN.—A very fine raven (rather a scarce
bird in this quarter) was shot last week near the Pier
House. It measured between the tips of the wings two
feet six inches, and from bill to tail two feet three and a
half inches. It must at some previone tiane have been
eaught in a trap, as the under part of one of the legs was
wanting. The same bird has been observed about the
mouth' the river during the summer. Berwick Paper
Information was given at the Police-offices
