BOW-STREET-O"MS DAY.

A young man named Thompson, and a youth named
Johnson, were this morning brought before Mr. Henry,
under the following suspicious circumstances :
Police-constable A, 146, stated that just before day-
break he observed the younger prisoner emerge from
un unoccupied house, next door to the Olympic Theatre,
in Wych street, and suspecting that he had been there
!or felonious purposes, he took him into custody.
While. he was conveying him to the station-
house the premises were searched by police-
sergeant A 8, who found the second prisoner concealed
up one of the bed-room eltimnies. lie pulled him
down by the legs, and carried him with difficulty to the
stat ion.

Police•-sergeant A 8 confirmed this statement, adding,
th4t as he was bringing the prisoner down stairs, he
dropped a Lundle, which was afterwards picked up, and
turned out to be a complete set of housebreaking imple-
ments, replete with chisels, false keys, files, crowbars,
and instruments to cut shutters and wood with.

Both prisoners protested that they knew nothing of
these suspicious articles, but police-constable F 48
gave evidence, proving, beyond all question, that
they did. Ile said he haul the charge of the two lock-up
eel's where the prisoners bad been confined, and in the
course of the morning he heard the younger prisoner
call out, " Ilillos, Jew, how are we to get out of this?"
Thompson replied, " Why, in the morning we must
know nothing about the teals." Johnson then said, " But
how about getting into the crib ?'"fhompson replied,
" Oh, you had better say you went in at four o'clock,
and you let me in at eleven." Johnson continued,
" Why did you not get away by the roof ?" to which
Thompson answered that the chimney was so narrow,
and rau so slautingly, that he could not get up. The
rev; of the conversation was conducted in what was
termed " flash lingo," which both prisoners seemed to
understand perffetly well.
Mr. HENRY asked if they were known?—Tho in-
spector said they were not, but it was presumed they
came from over the water.

Mr. HENRY asked the prisoners if they had anything
to say?--Thompson said it was all fake what had been
stated. He knew nothing of the tools, hut admitted
having been in the house, being out of employment and
without a home.

Mr. HENRY —What have you been? Thompson—
The last pl _ce I was in was at a public-house, in Kenning-
ton, as potboy.
Mr. HENRY—What have you to say, Johnson?
Johnson—l have nothing to say, except that I have
slept in the house for the last week.

Mr. HENRY—What are you? Johnson—Nothing.
Mr. HENRY—Where do you live? Johnson—ln the
streets, or anywhere that I can.
Mr. HENRY—Have you no father or mother? John-
son—No.

Mr. HENRY—How do you get your living? Johnson
—Oh, by doing little odd jobs in the streets.
Mr. HENRY said he should remand them till Saturday,
in order that their characters and occupations might be
mquired into.—They were then removed in custody.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
illiam Henry Harris, a will-dressed man, was
placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with creating a
disturbance at Genese's coffee-hou6e, in Jermyn-street,
and assaulting police-constable Glass, 94 C.
This morning, about four o'clock, the constable above-
named was ou duty in Jermyn-streot, when he was
d to Genese's coffee-house, to turn the defendant—
who had been making a great disturbance—out of the
house. He went into the house, and endeavoured to per-
suade the defendant to leave the place quietly; as he
refused to do so, witness took him by the arm with a
view of leading him out, when the defendant turned
round and struck him with much tome in the side.
He then took him to the station.
The defendant, who made a rambling defence, was
fined 205., which he immediately paid.
117illiam Thomas was charged with having in his
possession six pewter pots, which he had stolen from
various publicans. _

Jeeps, 146 C, deposed that about a quarter-past nine
this morning ,he met the prisoner in Bury-street, and,
observing that his coat pockets were very much
" bulged," he went up and asked him what he had got
in them. The prisoner said, " only a milk-can," at the
same time pulling from his pock©t the can produced.
Witress then put his hand in prisoner's pockets, and
found that they contained six pint pots. Knowing the
prisoner to be an old band, ho conveyed him to the
station.

The pots having been identified, the prisoner was
'ully committed.

STRAND THEATRE.
On Saturday evening, after the performance of The
Rivals by the whole strength of the company, the
new farce from the pen of Mr. John Oxenford,
called The Family Party, was re-produced, and not-
withstanding the eccentric acting of Compton, was
agai❑ all but damned, being announced for repetition
amidst mingled hisses and applause. Of the imper-
sonation of Sheridan's comedy by the company
if the little Strand Theatre we have not occasion
co say much in commendation, with the one great
and glorious exception of Mrs. Glover. Those
who remember her Mrs. Malaprop, years and years
ago, will not marvel at anyone praising her superb
embodiment of the character ; but they may well
marvel (unless they have happily seen her recently),
when we say that her acting is as perfect, as fresh,
as genuine as ever, better it could not possibly be.
The love scene between Lydia and Beverley, when
Mrs. Malaprop becomes the " go-between,"—the
reading of the intercepted letter, with the
aspersions on her knowledge of her " ora-
cular tongue and her nice derangement
of epitaphs "—the famous quotation from Hamlet
about " Harry Mercury, and something about kissing
on a hill"—were all inimitable. It was the Mrs.
Glover of the palmy days of the drama, with all her
genius not only in complete preservation, but mel-
lowed to a state little short of perfection.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
An adaptation of the amusing French vaudeville
Les Deux Brigadiers was produced here on Saturday
evening under the title of the Life Guardsman, with
the most complete success. The scene is transferred
to England, and the Duke of Marlborough is the
great man to whose fortunes the plot of the farce re-
lates, instead of Cardinal Dubois, as in the French
version. Thus runs the plot of the Princess's ver-
sion :—Jacob Pounce and Tapeworm (Messrs. J. W.
Ray and Wynn), confidential secretaries to
the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of
Oxford, are engaged in effecting the disgrace of the
Duke by attempting to get possession of certain
letters of his proving a treacherous corre-
spondence with the French Court. These letters are
supposed to have got by some mysterious means into
the custody of Miss Mary Middleton (Miss L.
Howard), and the secretaries hope to obtain them by
marrying the young lady to Peter Pounce (Mr.
Honey), a sergeant in the Coldstream Guards, to
whom, in conjugal confidence, she shall be induced to
deliver them, But Jack Gorget (Mr. A. Wigan),
a dashing Life Guardsman, is ordained to frustrate all
this scheming, and by personating the other sergeant,
by wooing and marrying Miss Mary himself, and by
outwitting the wily secretaries in all their plottings,
he succeeds in postponing the discomfiture of the
Duke. The action of the piece is bustling, and the
dialogue lively, and there are several good situations
evolved. The piece was capitally played by every-
body concerned, and was throughout favourably
received by the audience.
