W ORSHIP- STREET.

Yesterday John Campfield, proprietor of a penny theatre,
situate at the corner of Mill-row, Kingsland-road, was
placed at the bar before Mr. GROVE, charged with allowing
his house to be open for the enactment of plays, not having
a licence. There were also placed in the bar the defen-
dant's wife, Sarah Camp*eld, and her son, and John Paine,
Joseph Williams, Joshua Down, and Mary Anne Mlls,
the four last being dressed in the characters they were
about to represent, and exhibited a most ridiculous appear-
ance in the dock, their dingy apparel under their theatrical
attire presented a sad contrast.
The warrant was entrusted to officers of this establish-
ment, who, on Tuesday night, proceeded to the house
(which is in Chancery), the stage of the theatre and the
seats for the spectators being formed in a barn, to which
access is attainable by a ladder.
The following was the programme of the evening's amuse-
ment, and which was printed on a flimsy bit of paper, about
six inches in length, and two and a half in breadth :
" Lots of fun, corner of Mill-row, Kingsland-road.—
Monday.—The Gipsey's Hut. To conclud every even-
ing with a song and farce. The Pacha's Bridal, Wenloci-,
Rollin the Reefer, Horrible Revenge, and the Demon
Chief. Open at half-past five, begin at six. Only one
penny."

The plot that the stage•manager intended to present was
not disclosed ; but as a very different plot was represented
than what was intended, it is given under the following
statement :

The principal characters were undertaken by Messrs.
Van, Tilt, Brown, Sergeant Glebury, N 21, and four po-
licemen of the N division. The theatre being partly filled,
and the performances having commenced, Van got upon
the stage by a trap door at the time that the Count, in the
Wild Boy of Bohemia, was addressing the Wild Boy of
Bohemia (two of the prisoners). Brown followed, when at
that very moment he seized hold of the two, while in a
very interesting part of the dialogue, and to the amaze-
ment of the audience, informed them that they were
his prisoners. As Sergeant Glebury appeared next,
accompanied by four policemen, it was found to be
no mistake ; and, as it happened at a more cele-
brated retreat, the cry was " sauve qui pent." Sergeant
Glebury caught hold of Miss Mills, who placed herself in a
theatrical attitude to swoon ; but, on being told that she
need feel no alarm, she promptly recovered. The greatest
excitement prevailed among the spectators, who were placed
in the greatest consternation, and some feuds were raised
of serious consequences, as, in making their escape, they
tumbled over each other and fell down the ladder : one
poor fellow, in escaping by the roof, was caught by a rafter,
and he hung head downward by a leg, being rescued from
his perilous situation by a policeman. No serious accident
occurred.

The different witnesses swore that the persons congre-
gated there were principally girls of tender years, young
prostitutes and thieves ; that they were huddled together
promiscuously, with but little light, and that it was more a
nurse-bed of vice than a place of amusement.
The proprietor was held to bail, himself in 50/., and two
sureties in 251. each, for keeping an unlicensed theatre.
The actors and actress having behaved well to the
officers, were discharged. The office outside was crowded.

THAMES-OFFICE.
Yesterday two youths, well known to the Thames Police,
named John Cardwell and Isaac Hosier, the sons of Lam-
beth fishermen, were brought before Mr. BA LLANTINE,
charged with stealing the copper funnels belonging to seve-
ral steam-packet cabins.

Mr. BALLANTINE remanded them until Tuesday.

ADVENTURES OF A GENTLEMAN IN SEARCH
OP A HORSE.—The sale of this very valuable little book has,
we understand, been recently increasing almost beyond all pre-
cedent. We have before taken occasion to speak of its merits,
but we believe few who may have been induced to purchase it
will think we have at all done it justice. As we happen to
know the source whence it emanates, we have no fear of over-
rating its value ; and we advise all who are interested in the
choice or management of horses immediately to procure it, as
the possession of this little manual may not only save them much
personal annoyance, but also, perhaps, considerable expense,
and, it may be, disappointment and mortification.
PHRENOLOGY.—The number of the Quarterly
Review just published, contains, in a short article upon this
subject, a complete overthrow of the fallacy and nonsense of
the whole system, which its disciples will find it very diffi-
cult to refute. The Reviewer concludes with the following
pithy remarks :—" We have thus scrutinised—with 'more at-
tention, perhaps, than our readers will think the subject de-
served—the theory of phrenology and the evidence on which
it is founded. That such a system, and so supported, should
have obtained any favour, ought to be somewhat humiliating
to our intellectual pride. There is a pleasure, however, in
dogmatising on the character of our neighbour—of under-
standing the most secret processes of his mind ; and this phre-
nology has rendered quite easy to persons heretofore consi-
dered as remarkable for anything but acuteness and perspe-
cuity. We are willing to
.believe that some may have assumed
a nominal belief in the science (?) merely for that air of sur-
passing knowledge which it gives to the adept. Many more,
we know, are pleased to let it run its course, in hope that the
observations of its disciples, by whatever system directed, may
lead ultimately to some curious facts on the connection between
the brain and the phenomena of thought : this is its most
favourable aspect. How much longer the absurdity has to
live we venture not to divine ; reasoning, we suspect, however
cogent, will do but little towards its extermination; and the
doctors and the disciples groping and canting away in their
complacent coteries, are . far above attaching any sort of im-
portance to the undernable fact, that no man of distin-
guished general ability has hitherto announced his adhesion to
their creed."

THE INDIGO SALE, OCT. s.—The periodical
sales of Indigo commenced yesterday. The total quantity
offered is 7,095 chests, besides 21 bags of warehouse sweep-
ings. The qualities consisted of 6,465 Bengal, Benares,

and during the sale 103 chests were withdrawn.
The prices were as follow :-

HINDOO WOMEN,--3. native writer, educated at
the Hindoo College, has given, in a series of papers on the
domestic manners, &c., of the Hindoos, the following picture
of the married ladies of his country :—" The married women
of the Hindoos are a set of curious beings. As soon as the
nuptial day passes away, their souls become entranced in a
multiplicity of pleasures. Then is the time for them to learn
all those arts that may heighten their fascinations and capti-
vate the hearts of their husbands. Then is the time for them
to polish their locks with molten wax ; to adorn their noses
and foreheads with thick spots of ink and red lead ; to beautify
their persons with powdered turmeric ; to deck their necks with
garlands of flowers and make their lips and teeth, by meesee,
as black as the wing of a raven. Rose-water, ottar, matha-
gossa (a fragrant stuff for the hair), and a variety of other
odoriferous things, are then lavished, to impregnate their hair
with fragrance, and no means remain untried to monopolise all
the love and affection of their esteemed lords. In order to
combine in them all the charms of beauty, they glow with the
ambition to be laden with barbaric pearl and gold, and are
seldom found sighing for cheeks of roses, eyes of stars, bosoms
of ivory, lips of ruby, voice of cuckoos, or for any other dear
object of poetical aspiration, in which the thoughts of many
English ladies are absorbed. Nothing can be of greater mo-
ment to them than to sparkle in gems and jewels ; and as long
as they are not decorated from head to toe with all the orna-
ments of the country, their greedy desires and vexatious re-
quests are unsated. They are always wrapt in black or red
bordered sarees, usually of ten cubits long, and have nothing
to do with trousers, sashes, gowns, or bonnets. Whenever
they have to go to any of their relations' houses, they are sure
to be attired in the finest clothes of Dacca, whose gorgeous
trimmings loosely flow in the air, while they move all veiled
with measured steps. Very few of them are to be found to
possess sociality ; their flashes of wit degenerate into levity;
and the jokes which they crack with each other border, in most
instances, on indecorum and indecency. Those who are ca-
pable of reading their vernacular language amuse themselves
sometimes with the voluptuous poems of Bedda-soonder and
Chundr-kaut ; but those who have no knowledge even of their
own alphabets, sadly spend their days and nights with gab-
bling and gambling. "._Asiatic Journal.

FOUR VIEWS OF LONDON.
It has, perhaps, never struck many persons that the
four ends of this mighty metropolis present to the eye
of a student of mankind four distinct classes of citizens,
with habits and manners as different from each other esr
