MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before toe ASSITANT JUDGE )
Elizabeth ilunday, a married woman, 40 years of age.
was indicted for picking the pocket of John Frederick
Haynes, of a purse. The prosecutor, on the evening of
the Bth inst., was returning to town along the Bayswater-
road,to on the Park side of the way, when he was accosted
him, until he pushed her
off
istcpat
by the prisoner, who, notwithstanding. his indignant re-
Pu
es,
forcePersi cat d feelingi n clinging
pursued the prisoner, and after a sharp run of seventy
yards, he overtook her and ga7e her into custody.
The prisoner's counsel severely cross-examined the
witness, to draw from him a corruborati ,n of the pri-
soner's defeneo at the station-house, which implied a
charge of immorality against him. This he Bolen-; 1y
repelled, and the Assistant Judge gravely reproved the
counsel (afterwards) for repeating the imputation in his
address to the jury.
She was Mind Guilty, and the Judge, commenting
upon the additional criminality of the defence set up,
sentenced her to six months'imprisonment and hard
labour.

MARLBRO'-STRE L:T—( THIS DAY.)
Margaret Callaghan and Maria Williams, two women
of repulsive appearance, were brought before Mr. Hard.
wick, charged with creating a disturbance, and breaking
three squares of glass, at the soup kitchen in Ham-
yard, W indmill-street.
Mr. James Ettershank, the superintendent of the in-
stitution in Ham-yard, stated, that last night, about half-
past nine -o clock the prisoners applied for admission for
the night. As the place was full witness told them to go
to St. James's workhouse. •They refnsed to leave the
place, and became so violent and abusive that witness
was obliged to send for a constable to take fhem away.
Just as the constable was coming down the yard the
prisoners broke three squares of glass. Witness then
gave them in charge.
The prisoners, who did not attempt to deny the charge,
were committed to the House of Correction for 21 days,
with hard labour.

Mr. George Ponsloe, a timber merchant, residing at
336, Oxford-street, was charged with a cowardly assault
upon a female named Elizabeth Baxter.
The assault having been proved, Mr. HARDWICK fined
him 4/.

The money was immediately paid.
A number of Irish ♦agrants were brought up, in cus-
tody of the mendicity officers, charged with begging in
Regent-street.
_ _

Xs it was proved that they were old offenders, Mr.
HARDWICK committed each of them for 21 days to the
House of Correction.

VISIT OF HER, MAJESTY TO TIIE LYCEUM.—We
understand that it is the intention of her Majesty
and Prince Albert to honour the performances at
the Royal Lyceum Theatre with their presence this
evening.

SPANNING THE GLODE.—An American merchant
bound for Ceylon, left New York on the 4th instant, in
the Canada mail steamer, and arrived in Liverpool on the
morning of the 19th. After transacting some business in
Liverpool and London, he arrived at Southampton by the
day mail train on the 20th, and irnmedately embarked on
board the Ripon Steam( r, which was preparing to start
for Alexandria with the LL:ian mail. This gentleman
will reach his destination on the 15th June. Thus
he will have travelled from the United States to
China, a distance of nearly 15,000 miles, in seventy-
two days! In a little more than two months he
will have travelled the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and
the Mediterraneau, Red and China Seas, called at Eng.
land, Gibraltar, and Malta, in Europe; Alexandria and
Suez, in Africa ; and Aden, Ceylon, Penaeg, Singa-
pore, and Hong-Kong, in Asia. With the exception of
passing through England and Egypt, the whole of his
journey will have been performed by water, in British
ships. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's servants
never recollect a passenger for China who had been so
recently in America, and it will probably be, for length
and rapidity, the most extraordinary voyage ever per-
Orme d.
