WORSHIP- STREET.

James Jackson and his wife, Charlotte Jackson,
both of whom were also known under numerous
aliases, were placed at the bar for final examination
before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen large
quantities of plate and other valuable property from
different dwelling-houses, to which the female
prisoner had obtained access in the character of a
servant.

The depositions in several cases of robbery, very
cleverly traced out by Sergeant Dubois, having been
taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, against the pri,
soners, they were both committed to Newgate for
trial upon four distinct charges.
In the course of the day the Rev. Dr. Evans,
rector of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and one of the
district incumbents of St. Mary's, Whitechapel,
whose name we did not catch, attended in court, at
Mr. Arnold's solicitation, with a view of entering into
an arrangement for the establishment of a local
committee for tho better disbursement of the
funds contributed by benevolent persons for
the relief of the bereaved sufferers by the
ravages of cholera, and in the course of
his observations in relation to that object the ma-
gistrate took occasion to intimate that he had received
altogether about 501. for such purposes, one half of
which had been already expended in donations, at the
rate of 103. to each applicant, whose claims had been
first thoroughly investigated by the warrant officers
of the court ; but the number of such applications had
latzly so greatly increased, that lie regretted to say
he had been compelled to reduce his donations to one-
half that amount, to enable him to meet the demands
that were made upon him, and he feared that, even
with that diminution, the amount in his hands would
be very soon wholly exhausted. He was induced,
therefore, to solicit the assistance and co-operation of
the Rev. Gentleman for the formation of a local com-
mittee, to whom he could hand over the balance in
his possession for judicious disbursement, and the
knowledge of the establishment, of which, if it were
publicly noticed, would no doubt induce many chari-
table persons who had the means in their power to
come forward for the relief of the serious distress
which prevailed to such an extent from that visitation
in the district.
The Minister of St. Mary's was happy to be able
to state that his parish had been more mercifully dealt
with in the course of the ravages of the dreadful
malady than the adjoining districts of Shoreditch and
Bethnal-green, in one of which he had ascertained
that no fewer than the extraordinary number of 200
interments had taken place in one fortnight; and
having, through the munificent liberality of one
gentlemen, whose name he had no hesitation in men-
tioning—Mr. Fowell Buxton, been furnished with
ample means to relieve the majority of the cases
which had come under his notice, he was anxious, on
the part of his parishioners, to forego any participa-
tion in the magistrate's fund, and leave it for the
relief of the more distressed localities.
After some further observations, in the course of
which both clergymen expressed their concurrence
and earnest desire to cooperate in the magistrate's
benevolent suggestions,
Mr. ARNOLD intimated his gratification, and the
Rey. Gentlemen quitted the court.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " The Old
World and the New," seems likely to become as popular
as any of her earlier sketches of transatlantic life. With
her accustomed .skill as a painter of men and manners,
Mrs. Trollop (says the John Bull) has here constructed
a tale as attractive as any that has ever proceeded from
her talented pen. Like most of the other productions of
this popular authoress, the tale exhibits two kinds of
attractions, perfectly distinct from each other; the excel-
lence of lofty and generous characters whose inward
worth lifts them above the vicissitudes of life; and the
coarse vulgarity of another class of men and women far
the more numerous, as times go, both in the " Old World"
and the
" New," whose whole worth consists in the ad-
ventitious advantages of wealth, rank, beauty, and
fashion. The contrast between the two, skilfully brought
into contact with each other, adds great zest to a work
otherwise well calculated to rivet the reader's attention,
