BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AT A BROTHEL.—A girl of the town WaS
charged with having robbed a young man named William
Thomas Evans, a tailor, rt siding at No. 15, Carlisle-
street, Soho.

The complainant stated, that about two o'clock on
Thursday morning, he was accosted by the prisoner in
Oxford street, and after conversing with her for a few
minutes, they agreed to pass the night together at a
house i❑ Church lane, St. Gi!es's. They had not been
more than a quarter of an hour there when some one
came into the room they occupied and inquired for a
key, and, under the pretence of finding it, the prisoner
got up and left the room. Finding, however,
that she did not return, his suspicions were aroused,
and nn making search for his clothes, which he had
placed on a chair, he dscovered they were gone. lle
had no alternative, therefore, but to go to bed again. But
he had scarcely determined upon doing so, before the
party who had inquired for the key returned, bringing
with her his clothes, and he became aware, for the first
time, that he had been robbed of a silver watch, valued
at 31., 35., and a silk handkerchief. He immediately
dressed himself, and, repairing to a station-house, gave
the police information of the robbery and a description
of the prisoner, whom he did not see again till she was
in custody.
Mr. HALL asked him if he saw his clothes taken
away. Was there a light in the room ?
The prosecutor said he did not. There was no light
in the room, but he felt about and found that although
the girl's clothes were there his own were missing.
Mr. BALL asked him if he saw the second female
bring his clothes back?
The prosecutor did not, but after she quitted the room
he searched about again, and found the girl's clothes
had been teplaced with his own.
Police-constable A G 6 proved arresting the prisoner,
and the fact of her identification by the prosecutor.
Mr. HALL asked the prosecutor if he was quite cer-
tain the prisoner was the woman?
The prosecutor said he was.
Mr. HALL asked the prisoner if she had anything
to say?
The prisoner said she knew nothing about the robbery
or the prosecutor. She was quite innocent of the
charge, and the prosecutor must have mistaken her for
some one else.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accom-
panied by the youthful Heir-apparent and the
Princess Royal (Victoria Adelaide) are expected to ar-
rive at Buckingham Palace to-morrow morning, at ten
o'clock, from Windsor Castle, to honour the ceremony
of opening the Coal Exchange with their presence in
state. Lieutenant-Colonel Francis H. Seymour and
the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel C. B. Phipps will at-
tend his Royal Highness the Prince, and the Sove-
reign's illustrious children will return to the Castle
by special ladies' train early in the evening. Some
of the Royal household will, we understand, proceed
into the City from St. James's Palace tomorrow to
attend the ceremony.

THE ROYAL CITY VlSlT.—Notwithstanding her
Majesty will not honour the City with her presence
to-morrow through indisposition, yet the preparations
along the water side during the forenoon have been
most extensive for receiving company. Prices have
lowered, and now may be said to be within the reach
of many who had no hopes. on Saturday. The regu-
lations with regard to the coal wharfs, &c., will be
strictly enforced, no work to be done after six o'clock
in the morning, which has caused the coal porters to
work extra time this day, as also with most workmen
at other wharfs. The arrangements of the Thames
Police also were fixed this morning; indeed, every
precaution has been taken by the Thames and land
authorities to complete their plans this night. The
whole of the Honourable Artillery Company met this
morning at their head- quarters.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY.—WOOLWICH, OCT.
28.—Her Majesty having been indisposed for several
days, orders were sent here to suspend the preparations
making to give eclat to the ceremony. An Admiralty
messenger arrived here yesterday, however, with dis-
patches for Commodore Henry Eden, announcing the
pleasing intelligence that the preparations were to be
resumed, and every arrangement made for the procession
on Tuesday, the 30th instant. The Admiralty messen-
ger, on leaving Woolwich, proceeded to Chatham and
Sheerness with intelligence to the same effect, to the
authorities at these ports.
THE LATE GRAND DUKE MICHAEL.--A. funeral
service was celebrated on Friday at the chapel of the
Russian Embassy, in commemoration of the lamented
demise of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke
Michael. His Excellency Baron Brunno, the secretaries
to the Embassy, and all the Russian subjects staying in
town, were present on the occasion. The Rev. Mr.
Popoff officiated.

ROYAL THAMES REGATTA.—We have authority
fur stating that the treasurer will ere long make up his
annual account of receipts and payments, and submit
them to the auditors (Charles 14:1wis, Lq., and the Hon.
G. Denman) for allowance, so that clubs and iLdividuals
who have not already subscribed, but intend to do so,
are requested forthwith to pay the amount of their do-
nations into the bank of Messrs. Coutts and Co., Strand,
to the account of " The Thames Regatta." Our readers
will probably recollect, that we sometime ago noticed a
proposition that had been made, to have a public dinner
in aid of the funds, and we understand that it will in all
probability come off in the latter end ofNovember.—
Bell's Lffe in London.
