MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Three boys, the eldest apparently no more than 14 years of
age, named Hammond, Hill. and Ball ; and a young mar
about 20, na,ned William Henry Flower, were placed at tilt-
ba.r. tvcused of h iving stolen a quantity of linen and diaper
from the premises of Mr. William Jerome, a warehouseman,
rsoi ling at No. 34, Connaught-terrace.
George Burt being sworn, deposed that he is a stone-mason
carrying
on buines. at No. 24, South Wharf-road. • Within
this week or fortnight back, he bad remarked the prisoners con-
tinually lurking about that neighbourhood,wirh seven or eigh:
more boys. Yesterday. between one and two o'clock, he ob-
served them, g,thered in a cluster, and apparently very intent on
dividing something among them, at the rear of his premises.
ffivin,z approached closely unobserved, he perceived it to be
quantity of linen; they all made their escape when they saw him.
save Hammond, whom he brought to the station-house, and
gave information, there of the circumstances.
Constable 71 T, said after receiving the information from
the last witness. he succeeded in capturing the other three
prisoners. and on inquiry, found that a box containing linen,
in the Foss-scion of Mr. Jerome, had been broken open and its
contents taken away. On comparison, he saw that what had
been found in the prisoners' possession at the rear of Mr.
Burt's premises, corresponded exactly with the remnants fount'
in the box.

M. Jerome stated that the box hail been left in his posses-
sion, but he never had any knowledge of its contents, it was
left in his stores in c,mmon with other articles, and he ast,
saw it sb,:ut two mo,-,tip ago, when it was safe and perfect.
Mr Sitcrr said he should remand the prisoners until Friday,
and r.: quested Mr. Jerome to bring forward, if possible, the
parsons who had deposited the goods in hi,- keeping.

The Gaxette this day quotes the average price of British Psi cwt.
Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 3ls. sd.
Muscovado Sugars raised by tree labour in the Manilla—
which are frequently bought by the Dutch to be refined,
and then to be resod in the River Thames—in competi.
tion with British refined Sugars for exportation—have
been sold this week at from 20s. to 235. per cwt., being
86. per cwt. less than the average price of West India
Sugars.
Refined Sugar, equal in quality to double refined (the manu.

(free on board) at

which is sit per cwt dearer only than the )Juscovade
Sugar S om which it is made, being a loss to the sugar re-
finer of 4s. 7d. per cwt., which the bounty on exportation
reimburses him.

British Treacle is worth Us. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The
same has Fern soA this slay in London, free of duty, at 275. per cwt.,
being au excess of Klee paid by the British consumer of 16s. pet

CcrFzE.— l'he duty on WeSt India Coffee, the price of it ranging
from 100 s. to 130 s. per cwt., is 565. per cwt., about 50 per cent. ad

The duty on St. Domingo Conte, the average price of it being 43s

George Robins, it would seem, has been extending
his professional labours into Scotland To-night he has an-
nounced the famed Castle of Tidlichewen and Demesne, neat
Dunbarton. But ths is not all. The Lake of Loch- Lomond,
very p-t.perly designated by Mr. Robins as the "ne plus ultra"
of Scotland's fame, is within a short mile of the Castle and
Estate under his consideration, and our readers will be
amused by the unpretending stile which extends through-
out his description. He finds the task beyond his feeble
powers, and escapes from it by taking consolation in the
reminiscence that Sir Wglter gcott found himself in thc
same dilemma. The journey from London to this scene of
enchantment by means of the Railway and Steam com-
munication. accomplished in less than 25 hours; and it ha-,
been whispered that this splendid Cstle and Demesne will Le
sold to net 4 per cent. upon the capital embarked,

The opera of Don Juan was performed at this theatre last
night, and, as the bills announced, for the last time. Most
sincerely do we hope that this announcement is not true.
The frequent repetition of the exquisite music of this opera is
at once delightful and improving; and though the cast WI
not quite the best that could be imagined, it was very good ;
if English audiences are to wait fur the very best cast of Mozart
operas they will stand but little chance of heating them at all;
The great deficiency last night was the want of a tenor, and
the gentleman who represented Don Octavio, most shooed
that deficiency when he sang the air answering to the Italian
It mio tcsoro." A lively friend suegested, and his fanciful
suggestion was most excelit n,, that Mr. I3lagrove should have
been drkssed for the character, and brotight tiom the orchestra
to the stage to play that one air on the violin. It Would
have been a great treat. The Don Juan of Balfet is
a fine piece both of acting and rfnging. In singT%
espcially, there is perhaps no one on the Italian stage w"c
could give the " La ci Darem" and the Serenade better, and
certainly none on the English stage who can do them half 0
well. The accompaniment to the serenade, played by Blagrov,e,
was admirable ; and the merit of bath performers was d"ld
acknowledged by the audience. Madame Albertazzi plaYek
and sang in Zerlina with spirit and effect. Miss Poole W,

;Teased to find that her singing made the part of Elvira
prominent feature in the opera. Philipps and Glebeies

range of the railways already executed or in vrogress in this

1u h important changes in our mercantile and commercial
