ITARLBRO'-STREET—_(THIS DAY.)
Henry Andrewes, who described himself as a painter,
residing at No. 3, Hemmings-row, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen a great
coat from No. 3, Devonshire-row-mews, the property of
Edward Howell, cab• proprietor.
It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that last night
the prosecutor was in bed asleep, when he was awoke
by hearing the door open, and on his getting out of bed
to see the cause, he observed the prisoner in the act of
going out with the coat on his arm. He immediately
collared him and gave him in charge to a constable, who
was at that moment passing.
The prisoner, who denied the intention of stealing the
coat, was committed for trial.
It was stated to the Court that the prisoner had been
for some time in the pay or employ of the police as
"scout," and that through his evidence alone a number
of persons have been committed for trial from this
court ; in fact, the prisoner, latterly, has been making a
pretty good profit in attending at the sessions as witness
in cases which, no doubt, were trumped up by himself,
and rested solely on his testimony.

DEATH OF MR. CoTTINGHAM, THE MAGISTRATE.
—Mr. Cottingham, the Magistrate of the Southwark
Police .court, expired this morning. The Learned
Gentleman was unable to attend to his magisterial
duties yesterday, in consequence of a sudden attack
of cholera ; he continued to grow worse, and was
carried off in less than thirty hours from the com-
mencement of the attack.

Sontag will, on this occasion, sing in four different
languages. In Italian she will sing "La Zingara:"
which was composed expressly for her by Donizetti ;
in German she will sing the celebrated scena from
Der Frieschutz,"Wie Nahte mir der Schlumer ;" in
English, " With verdure clad," from Haydn's
Creation ; and in French, " Grace Grace !" from
Robert le Diable. Lablache and the elite of the
artistes engaged at her Majesty's theatre will take
part in the concert. M. Thalberg will also ap-
pear. There will be a full orchestra, and Balfe will
conduct.

YARMOUTH, JULY 29.—The Theodore, Griffin, from
Seaham for Hyde, got on the Barber Sand this morning,
but after lying about four hours, was assisted off, not
making any water, and has proceeded; the Janet Halley,
from Memel to Galway, whilst riding in the Roads this
afternoon, was run into by the Edward and Isabella,
of Sunderland, sustained considerable damage, and
was obliged to come into the harbour to repair.
The Elizabeth brig, of Hartlepool, got aground on the
Scroby Sand yesterday but came off; is making water,
but intends proceeding. The Carpenter, from Lerwick
to Aldborough, was assisted into harbour yesterday,
with loss of fore-topmast and bows stove, having been
run foul of while lying at anchor by the Reine Blance
(French schooner). The Agnes, of Guernsey, while
lying at anchor in the Roads, this morning, had the
William of Scarborough in collision with her, and has
received some damage.

He is always the severest censor on the merits of
others who has the least worth of his own.—Eliza

POIITSMUUTII, JULY t. independent

action with the piratical slav:: felucca, which appears the
only detailed account of the disastrous affair yet pub'
Extract of a 'letter from an officer on board her MB'
jesty's brig Alert, dated May 18, 1849: •
"Ou the 30:h of Al;rii, at half-past three o'clock, r.isf,o
a sail was reported from the masthead (we being then at
anchor between Cassa and Golabah), standing in towards
the land of Seabar. At half-past four we could make
her out to he a felucca. We kept at anchor until dark,
when we weighed, and stood along the land until mid-
night, when we haled off a little. At six o'clock, P.N. We
could see the sumo vessel under the land, sweeping
towards Cape Mount; the wind being very little, in fact
just sufficient to give steerage. At seven we sent the
two gigs and pinnace after her, but she crept along
almost as fast as the boats. At 11, pinnace and first gig'
were about half-a-mile astern; second gig about a mile'
and a half. When they came close to the vessel the
were fired on, and first gig being ahead attempted to board,
and in doing so the offictir, Mr. Henry D. SaunderS,
acting lieutenant, received a shot through the windpipe ;
but, although he had received his death wourld, he
waved his sword over his head to encourage his teen to
board. The gig having loot an officer and two men, and
all the rest except two wounded, she went back to the
pinnace for more men, but before they could catch ni)
with her again the wind sprang up and she walked
away from us. The ship then picked up the boats ;
but, by the time they were on board and hoisted up, the
felucca was nearly out of sight.
"' The following is a list of the killed and wounded:—•
"‘ Killed—Mr. Henry D. Saunders, acting-lieutenant
John James, A. B. ; and John Barnelough,
" Wounded—F. Glanville, A 8., severely, three
wounds in the back, recovering fast ; Henry Hill, A.S.;
John Collins, A. 13. ; Samuel Turner Ord ; and W-
May, A.B.

" • Slightly wounded—J. Reardon, A. 8.; J. Lanfr
downe, ILM.; aid Philip Kidd, R.M.
" The felucca had two guns, and was firing everything.
they could lay their hands on. In one of the boats,
piece of chain of six links was found. She ran her guns
through the stern, to get at the gig as she was re'
treating."' _

REPRESENTATION OF BOSTON.
BOSTON, JULY 30.—1 t is now generally under-
stood that Mr. Freshfield will contest the representa-
tion of the borough on the Conservative interest.
That gentleman has issued an address to the electors,
in which he states that he is a firm Protectionist, and
will strive for the restoration of the privileges of
which the agricultural interest has been deprived.
He expresses his decided hostility to any national
support being given to the Roman Catholic Church,
and wishes the Protestant institutions of the country
to be preserved intact. The excitement in the
borough is very great, and the friends of Captain
Pelham and Mr. D. W. Wire have expressed alarM
lest the division in the Liberal camp may injure their
cause. Many ineffectual attempts have been made to
obtain the retirement of one of these gentlemen from
the eontcst, but each declares his firm and unwavering.
intention of persevering to the issue. A meeting or
the supporters of Mr. Freshfield was held last even-
ing, and resolutions passed pledging those present to
support him, but they were not carried without op-
position. It is fully anticipated that the contest will
be between Mr. 11' ire and Mr. Freshfield, whose
friends have laboured most effectually in obtaining
support for him during the short period he has
been in the town. The nomination is definitively
fixed for Wednesday next, to commence at ten
o'clock.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —An Extraordinary Cure of an
Ulcerated Leg by Holloway Ointment and Pills.—Extract of
a letter from Mr. Eastwood, of No. 4, Marvell-street, Hull,
to Professor Holloway, Sir,—" For two years I was grievously
afflicted with a bad leg which was full of ulcers. I applied to
several doctors and took their remedies, but without the least
good ; at length happily for me I procured some of your Oint-
ment and Pill, from Airs. Noble, of this town, which had the
effect of curing my leg in a brief space of time, in gratitude for
which I make this case known in the hope that others may,
derive benefit by adopting a similar course." Sold by all
