Q UEEN-SQUARE.

Richard Clark and Sarah Ryden were yesterday placed
at the bar, charged with stealing a gold watch and appen-
dages from the dwelling-huuse of Mr. Charlotte Edwards,
of Prospect-place, Newington.
The prisoners were remanded.

George Carpenter was charged by Miles, an officer at
the Surrey Theatre, with having thrown one of the seats
from the gallery into the pit on Saturday night.
The case could not be made out, as the defendant had
only been seen with it in his hand. He was discharged.
George Goff, the man who has been in custody some
days on suspicion of having robbed James Cunningham,
Esq., of 600/. at Covent-garden theatre, yesterday received
188/. found upon him, and was discharged.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday John 214Vionald, a strong young man frcm
Scotland, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with
wounding a gentleman's coachman with a reaping-hook.
The prisoner was committed for three months to hard
labour.

THAMES OFFICE.
Yesterday three foreign seamen, named Gabriel Wod-
:haw, Andrew Wicker:, and Carl Frederick Slialk, belong-
ing to the Menzikof a Norwegian ship, lying in the river,
were brought before °Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. CLARK-
SON, charged on Custom House information with smuggling
141bs. of tobacco, by which they had incurred penalties of
1001. each.
The prisoners, through the medium of an interpreter,
pleaded guilty to the informations, and said they were igno-
rant of the English laws.
Mr. CLARKSON said that the men must have been per-
fectly aware they were doing wrong. The law gave the
Magistrates no discretionary power, and it was the duty
of the Bench to s3ntence the prisoners to pay a fine of
100/. each to the King, and be imprisoned until such fines
were paid.

Mi Beverley, the clerk to the Solicitor of Customs, said
the Board of Commissioners had reduced the fines to JJ
each.

Mr. BALLANTINE (to the interpreter)—Tell the men
they will have to pay 11. each instead of 1001.
The ship's broker and the Captain said the men's wages
were very low, and no money was due to them. They could
not even pay the reduced fines.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the Magistrates had nothing to
do with that. He thought there was a very great absurdity
in mitigating the penalties so lnw. Certain statements
were sent to the Board of Commissioners, and upon them
they had, in his opinion, very injudiciously, though probably
they had the very best of reasons for doing so, ordered the
men to pay 20s. each. Tne contraband trade in tobacco
was of course likely to increase so long as men had to pay
no more than 20s. One successful trip would raise that
sum or more.

The broker of the ship again asked for a further miti-
gation.

Mr. CLARKSON said the Magistrates had no discretion,
and the men, if they did not pay the money, must go to
prison, unless the Commissioners thought proper to release
them. The penalties were a good deal too low.

Dowton, who has not pleased the Americans, will
shortly return.

The late Mr. Rothschild's manner of evincing kind
feelings towards Solomon Herschel, the Grand Rabbi of
Duke's-place, had something in it which was both singular
and whimsical. When any good speculation was afloat, Mr.
Rothschild deposited on his own account a certain sum, pro-
portionate to his own risk, and whatever per tentage or profit
accrued therefrom was carried by him to the Rabbi, to
whom he gave a full and true account, even to the utmost
fraction. The millionaire on such occasions invariably dined
with the Levite, and the day was usually passed by the two
friends in innocent hilarity and pleasing conversation.
FATAL STEAM BOAT ACClDENT.—Yesterday
morning, about eight o'clock, the following lamentable acci-
dent occurred on the river, off the Tower :—As the Enterprise
Hull steam-vessel, was about to depart from off the Custom-
house, several persons went on board to take leave of the pas-
sengers, their friends, and among others Mr. Joseph Crannis,
a respectable tradesman, residing in Pepper-street, Union-
street, Southwark, and his wife went on board for the purpose
of bidding farewell to the brother of the former, Mr. John
Crannis, of Hull. While they were in conversation the ves-
sel gut under way, and a sculler was called to take them
and some other persons ashore in a wherry. Two persons
had already got into the boat, and Mr. and Mrs. Crannis
and a gentleman were descending the ladder, leading from the
steamern, andthe
gangway, and were about to step into the boat, when the
theorder
motionwasof t
ie imprudentlyt v es givenvessel
threw for
water. Mrs. Crannis was almost immediately drawn under the
paddle ; her husband caught hold of the boat as he fell, and
was dragged into it ; but, missing his wife, he instantly
tthtehme off the
laddertogo
intoo
jumped overboard after her, and, as she was sinking, caught
her by the shawl, which, however, gave way, and she was
drowned. Mr. Crannis narrowly escaped with his own life,
for all this time the wheels were in full motion, and the agi-
tation of the water was very great. He was eventually taken
ashore in the boat in a state of great exhaustion, and went
home in a state of mind bordering on distraction at his sud-
den bereavement. The third person who was thrown into the
river was also saved by some of the boatmen who rowed to his
assistance.

Two OCEANS WITHIN FOURTEEN HOURS'
SAIL I—The Atlantic and Pacific are likely to be united by
Yankee enterprise. The Congress of New Grenada has
granted to Mr. Charles Biddle and ethers the exclusive pri-
vilege, for 50 years, under the name of Transportation Com-
pany of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, to navigate the river
Chagres with steam. A further exclusive privilege, for the
same period, is granted Mr. Biddle for the transportation of
goods and passengers by the railway macadamised road, from
the head of the navigation of the Chagres to the city of Pa-
nama, reserving; to the public a transportation road for horses
and mules. Extensive concessions of land are made to Mr.
Biddle in the same decree, in which colonies of natives and
foreigners may be settled, and may be exempted from certain
contributions for twenty years. One of the first provisions of
the decree ordains that if two steam-boats, at least, are not
kept in operation, and that the communications are not kept
constantly in such a state (exceptin7 accidents) as to. admit

better than retaliation, and that the surest way of obtaining
substantial justice is to subdue acrimonious feelings. By ab-
staining front party accusations, the object is supported on
local considerations by all classes, instead of a part only—
and why should those who hold a different opinion on politics
be denied the satisfaction of aiding in a question which stands
apart from

A RARE TREE.--On an apple tree, belonging to
Mr. Biggs, sculptor, of Lower James-street, Bath, there is
now to be seen fruit in perfection, fruit just set, and a perfect
bloom. What is more singular, for the last ten years, the
same tree has produced full grown fruit, and at the same time
has put forth numerous blossoms, some of which have turned
to fruit, which has remained till the succeeding Christmas.
