BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A well-known " smasher," named Jas. Green, who said he was re-
siding in Deptford, was charged with entering the shop of a surgeon in
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fieldi, and endeavouring to play the
following barefaced trick :—Having asked for a strip of genuine sticking
plaister, made on the most improved principles, the young man in at-
tendance, who happened at the moment to be dazing over a musty ♦u.
lume on pharmacy, instantly supplied his customer with a portion of It,
cut with geometrical precision, and which he carefully rolled in paper
twisted at each end. The prisoner laid down a half-crown, and, after
getting his change, was leaving the shop, but, suddenly turning back,
said he feared one of the shillings he had got in the change wcu:d not
be taken from him.

The young man, by this time, had got a better view of the prisoner,
and recognising him as being the same wh s had twice played a similar
trick upon him, and with success, gave him into custo,ly.
Mr. MlNssiticc ordered him to be remanded till some gentleman from
the Mint would be present

The Marquis of Clanricard• is dispensing his hos-

Friday the Earl of Lonsdale entered his eighty-first
Yre,"r—an event that was celebrated by a dinner at the Black
Lion Inn, \Vhitehaven, which was eaten by his Lordship's
agents, and a few of the upper class of his fiends and sup-
porters in the neighbourhood ; and bynnother at liensingliam,
where the secondary order of the Noble Earl's retainers,
tradesmen, farm-is, &c., mustered pretty strongly.
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a man of
the name of J. Haslock, near 70 years of age, who for many
Years has been an inhabitant of Lambeth, entered the Queen's
Head public-house, Vauxhall-walk, and seated himself in the
taproom.i He appeared very faint, and had been there about
half-an-hour when Mr. Swan, the landlord, fearing t'iat he
was in a dying state, went to the workhouse, which is only a
few yards distant. Dunn, one of the officers, accompani. d
Mr. Swan back, who, finding that the poor old man was
unable to walk. procured the chair in which invalids are carried,
and had hint taken into the house. He was put to bed, having
scarcely a pulse, and being in a very exhausted state. lie
was shortly aft( r seen by the assistant of Mr. Briant, the parish
surgeon, who directed that he should receive every proper
attention, but there are very little hopes that he will live long.
lie was a pauper of the parish, and received Is. Gd. a week.
He had been asked to enter the house, but he objected.

Tho 11th and 73d Regiments, ordered home from the
Mediterrannean, are also proceed to Canada, ra:kiug an
addition of 1,200 rank and file to the numbrrs we have al-
ready enumerated.
The Hercules, and not the Hastings, the Inconstant, Pique,
and Vestal, are the ships of war selected for the cenveyance
of troops out to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
All Regiments stationed in Canada, or intended for it, are
to be augmented to their full establishment (80 added to their
present strength), and we believe the same arrangements will
extend to every corps in the service.
It is reported in the best informed military circles that
20,000 mcn arc to be added to the present strength of the
army. A less number, it is said, would not afford the
necesrary reinforcements fur America, and enable us to re-
lieve the Regiments in the East whose periods of service have
expired.
Major-General Sir W. Macbean, has been appointed to a
command in Canada, and Major-General Sir James Mac-
donnell is to command the brigade of Guards under orders
for the same qurrtcr, thereby causing two vacancies in the
command of Irish districts.
It is now doubtful whether a Regiment of Cavalry will be
sent to Canada, or a few squadrons selected from two or
three Regiments.
