BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A STREET Row.—A lad named John Joyce and a girl
named Mary Chapman were charged with baring create d
a disturbance in the public streets and assaulted an officer
in the execution of his duty.
Police-constable F 182 stated that at an early hour
this morning the prisoners, with several others, were
creating a disturbance opposite a low coffeehouse in the
Leighbourhood of Drury-lane, tend he requested them to
go away about their business. Instead, however, of
doing so, they commenced abusing him in a filthy strain,
and attempted to throw him down. The two prisoners
were by tar the most violent, the lad kicking him on
the shins, and otherwise assaulting him, while the girl
urged him on with such expressions as "Go it, Jack;
stick to him; pitch into him." His lamp they managed,
to render useless, and it was not until the assistance vg
two other constables had been obtained that they could
be carried to the station-house. The officer exhibited
his lamp, which was completely bent to, and the glass
being smashed, it was quite hopeless to think of re-
pairing it.
Mr. HENRY asked if the prisoners were drunk? The
officer said, the lad was, but the girl appeared sober.
Mr. HENRY asked the lad what he had to say for
himself ? The prisoner replied, that having met a
friend who had just returned from sea, he had taken *
drop too much; but he denied that he had either as-
saulted the officer or made use of abusive language. The
fact was, the officer handled him in a very rough manner,
and that was what occasioned all the disturbance.

The officer said there was not a word of truth in this,
and informed the Magistrate that both prisoners were
well known as the associates of thieves, the female eel'
rying on her nefarious avocations under the guise of 0,
street flower-girl, %bile the lad was frequently observed
at all hours of the night helping notorious .thieves g 0
carry on their felonious operations.
Mr. HENRY asked the girl if she had anything to oaf
in answer to the charge?—She had nothing to sal
further than that so far from urging on her companie°
to assault the officer, she did all she could to persuade
him to go quietly to the station.
Mr. HENRY tined the lad 405., or three weeks' imp&
sonment, and the girl 205., or fourteen days.
The fines were of course not forthcoming, and the
prisoners were accordingly committed.

ROYAL SEA- BATMIN G INFIRMARY.—The anniver'
nary dinner of this institution took place yesterday, Al
the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. The Lord
Mayor took the chair, supported by Mr. Alderniso
Gibbs, Mr. Sheriff Nicol, Mr. D. W. Wire, under'
sheriff; and other gentlemen. The Chairman, in Pro-
posing the health of her Majesty, stated that the citizen.
of London were at all times delighted to express their
sentiments of loyalty, but on the present occasion they
were more especially called upon to drink this toast, ill'
asmuch as her Majesty, after having traversed various
parts of her dominions under unprecedented eircutn;
stances, had shown her regard for the inhabitants °I
this city by signifying her intention to meet them during
the present month. He had the greatest possible 0'
sure in proposing the health of the Queen, and in doir,
so, he would fain hope that her Majesty would alws)s
find the citadel of loyalty in the city and amongst Of
citizens of London. This toast was responded to with
great enthusiasm. The usual loyal and national toasts
having been drunk, the Chairman rose to propose pros'
perity to the Royal Sea-Bathiug Infirmary. There were,
many charitable institutions which possessed strong local
claims upon the benevolence of the public, but
,
our present institution stood forward independent
local claims, and bad given assistance to the whole Po"
pulation. Such an establishment as the Royal'Seo'
Bathing Infirmary was calculated to be most useful ,_l°
the world at large, and he had no doubt that the 50°:
scribers would very soon amount to double the number
that they consisted of at the present moment. This
stitutiou was of that ckaracter which was peculiarly of e,',
to the poor and needy, and he was happy to find that
was making such progress in public favour. Se 11;
gretted to ray that this was the last occasion on whit
he should have the honour to preside at the festival of
any public institution, but he sincerely trusted
though the last it would tiot be the least successful. 9
(Hear, hear.) lie was extremely happy to add his Wit,
of ten guineas to the funds of the institution, and be wai
very glad to find that the subscriptions would not be les)
than they had been in former years.—(Loud cheers
