BOw-STREET.-(ThIS DAY.)

A NEW FARCE AT THE ADELPRI —Two y ountf,
bargemen, named I'ocock and Ramsey, were charged with
having assaulted Mr. William Marling, a tailor, residing
in Forc-:.erect, Finsbury.
Tne complainant stated that last night he was in tlic
gallery of tee Adelphi The sere, sitting on the accrue
row of seats. 'Tee were four pers'tns to front of him,
who went out in the course of tlio first piece, and brought
in two more, hut as the lattc.r cou'd not SieUre Siat,,
they were obliged to stand up, wh.cii cceasi,)ned Sipee
I:We annoyance, ani ultimately led to the police being
cAled in to restore ord,r, and find seats for the two per-
sins who were causing the disturbance. The two pri•
s._mets, wl,o w, re of the party, feeling tlispleat.cd with
the complainant for having called for the police, aroused
them elves during the evening with pass'.rig sarcastic re-
marks upon bin person and dres,, threcting attention to
the fact that be wore a" white chuhe:," and towards the
close of the performances they seated themselves behind
him. The complainant, suspecting that they wanted to
get up a row, said to a friend, " These men mean some-
thing, let us get out More the piece in over;" and
he accordingly left the theatre, followed by his
friend. Scarcely, however, had he reached the bottom
of the stairs in the Strand before Ramsey came up and
struck him in the face. Not knowing what to do at the
moment, he struck him again, and then ran away into a
public•house. Pocock followed him; Lull while at the
bar, which was in charge of only one female, Pocock
repeated the assault, and succeeded in extracting his
watch from his waistcoat pocket, when a policeman
entered, and put a stop to the fray.
Pocock—Do you think I wanted to steal your watch?
Complainant—l don't know. You had got it in your
113.1A1.

Poe.)ek—Weli, I deny that. It might have dropped
out of your pocket in the scAll
Mr. James Lea, carpenter, if Great Russell-street,
Gresvernor• place, confirmed the statement of the comrn
phinant.

Pocock did not deny that some confusion was occa-
sioned by his friend Ramsey being introduced into a
front seat during the performances, nor did iie dispute
hating followed' the complainant into the public•house,
but the complainant brought all the annoyance upon
himself by being insolent in the theatre, and afterward*
knocking Ramsey down against a cab-wheel, and cutting
his head open.
Ramsey said the moment he entered the theatre he
stood up to look for a seat, when the complainant roared
out, " Sit down, you fat looking hound, do ;" and until
some gentleman was good enough to make rootn for him,
the complainant kept up a constant cry of " Sit down,
broadshoulders ; now, then, spooney ; turn him out."
When, therefore, he got outside, he asked the corn-
p!ainant what he meant by insulting him in that manner;
whereupon the complainant up with his fiat and knocked
him down, and his head coming in contact with a cab-
wheel it was cut open, and seriously wounded.
Two witnesses spoke to the irritating nature of the
cmplainatit's observations.

Mr. JARDINE, however, was of op'nion that the pri-
soners were the aggressors in Ihe first instance, and he
tined them 10s. each, or ten days' imprisonment.
The fine was paid.

THE WRECK OF THE ST. JOHN.
The American mail has brought further particulars
of this disastrous wreck. It will be recollected
that the St. John struck on Grampus Rock, on
the American coast, on the morning of Sunday,
the ith ult. A letter, dated Cuhasset, Monday,
seven o'clock, r save :
" When Captain Oliver left the brig he passed
within hailing distance of a life-boat, in charge of
Captain Prouty, which had put out to the assistance
of another vessel at anchor in the cove ; but he did
not give information of the peril in which he left his
vessel, and the life-boat proceeded on her way, the
bold hearts who manned her not knowing that so
many human beings in their immediate vicinity
were about to be swallowed in the raging waters.
It is, we understand, the unanimous opinion of the
men i❑ the life-boat that, had not Captain Oliver
been criminally negligent, or actuated by selfishness
or fear, a large proportion of the ill-fated passengers
would have been saved.
" The beach is strewed with fragments of the
wreck, and the sight of dead bodies, as one by one
they are dashed upon the shore by the foam-capped
waves, forms a heartrending and most fearful picture.
We have no time to enlarge upon this most melan-
choly subject, but roust leave it to the imegieation of
our readers. A large portion of the ho washed
ashore were females, and among them several bau-
tiul children, who in death retained the sweet,
innocent, and confiding expression which knocks so
forcibly at the heart.
" Patrick Swany, whose body was. reovered, lest
eleven children, washed from the wreck by the same
wave which carried him into the. surge. Being a
good swimmer, he attempted to save his youngest
child, whom he held in his arm as the timbers parted,
and struck out for the boat in which Captain Oliver
and the crew were making for the shore ; but no ear
was open to his cries fbr succour, arid the strong
man and his helpless child went to join those who had
gone but a few minutes before.
" One remarkable incident, however, I will men-
tion. A fine looking, bright boy, whom I have just
been conversing with, not more than fourteen years
old, sprang from the wreck into the boiling sea,
struck out boldly and manfully in pursuit of the boat
containing the captain and crew, and after swimming
!or some time in the wake of the boat was picked up
and saved ! His two sisters met a watery grave. Mr.
Sarsfield O'Gorman has proceeded to Boston, for the
purpose of inviting Bishop Fitzpatrick to assist at
the obsequies of the dead. The last rites will be
performed to-morrow (Tuesday) afternoon, at two
o'clock, the Rev. Messrs. Osgood and Reed, of this
town, also being present, and taking part in the
solemn exercises."
