BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

POVERTY AND CRIME.-Wm. Lath and John M'Donald, who had
only a few moments before their capture started from the purlieus of
Saint Giles's on an excursion, were charged with stealing 271 b. of
bacon from the shop of Isaac Tomlinson, 130, Drury-lane.
John Venten, a turner, residing next house to prosecutor, stated that
ab out half-past nine o'clock this morning he was passing by his neigh-
bour's shop door, when he saw the prisoners, in company with another
not in custody, standing together, and suspecting they were about to
commit a felony, he watched them, and immediately saw Smith enter the
shop and take the bacon produced under his arm, and walk away with
it to Lincoln-court, where the other prisoner was waiting with a sack
to receive the plunder. While they were both trying to stow the
bacon into the bag he seized M`Donald, and the prosecutor coming up
at the moment, he went in pursuit of the other; and after a sharp
chase, with the assistance of Field of the F division, he was taken into
custody in Princes-street.
In answer to the charge, M`Donald said he had belonged to the un-
fortunate British Legion, and being in a starving condition he was
compelled to join his companion in committing a felony.
Mr. TWYFORD ordered both the prisoners to be fully committed
for trial.

There is nothing worth notice respecting the ruins of the Royal Ex.
change, with the exception that scaffolds are being erected. One of them
has already reachedthe clock of the tower, from the interior of the Royal
Exchange, on the eastern side of Coruhill, and it is expected that the
taking town of the tower will be effected in a shorttime ; for should A
general thaw take place, no doubt it will greatly injtirethiit edifice in va.
rious parts. On the north side of the ruins it is being.boarded in all
round, the same as at the front, and a scaffolding vreetedsto.take down
the walls. Numerous workmen continue their labours, particularly the
carpenters, and small fires are kindled in various parts to melt the ice.
