DEER-RENTING WITH TIIE PRINCE CONSORT'S
HARRIERS.-It having been ascertained that some out
lying deer, supposed to have escaped from Windsor
Great Park, had been seen in the neighbourhood of
Swinley, his Royal Highness's pack of hariers met at
that place on Thursday last. A large field was present,
it haying been stated that the Prince would honour the
meet with his presence. The weather, however, was not
very favourable, and his Royal Highness did not attend.
Upon drawing the plantations at Wycombe Bushes, near
Blackwater, the discovery of a fine three year-old fallow
deer was soon made, taking away to Sandhurst and
Wichmer Cross, doubling round nearly to Fria:goy,
where it was headed back to the plantations. The deer
then broke away across the heath towards Bagshot,
circling round to Rapley Farm, and thence over the high
palings into Bagshot Park. As the palings were
upwards of eight feet in height (rather too much
for any horse to attempt to take), King, the Prince's
huntsman, Messrs. Humphries, Dyson, and several other
sportsmen present, dismounted and managed to get into
the park, the harriers having bounded over in close
pursuit of the deer. Before, however, they were enabled
to get up to the pack the deer had been run into and
killed, after an excellent chase of nearly two hours. By
this time the gates had been opened by the Bagshot
keepers. The harriers were then taken towards Sand-
hurst, where a second outlying deer was soon found.
The deer, after taking away to Bagshot, crossed the park
and made for the Prince Consort's farm, a heavy snow
st4.rm just at this time setting in, completely covering
the ground, the harriers were called off, shortly before
five o'clock, and the deer left at large, on the Bracknell
side of Swinley, for another day's sport, after a very fast
and excellent run for about an hour.
AMERICAN FLOUR.—The vessel Lady Hilda, ar-
rived in the London Docks from Barbadoes, has brought,
in addition to a cargo of West India sugar, 100 barrels
of American flour. This is a remarkable instancy of the
effect of the recent Act permitting the importation of
grain and flour into the country free of duty under any
circumstances, and it being the first Occasion, to our
knowledge, of an arrival of American flour from the
West Indies, this notice of it will prove interesting and
of importance.

PIMLICO PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—On Thursday
evening the sixth annual meeting of the abo% e society
was held at the Gun Tavern, Pimlico, and in the un-
avoidable absence of General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P.,
the chair was taken by Mr. Merritt. The secretary's
report:having been read, which presented a most grati-
fying statement of the funds, and of the relief of a large
number of families who were in necessitous circumstances
during the past trying winter, several resolutions, en-
forcing the peculiar claims of the society on the sym-
pathies of a benevolent public, and of extending its
usefulness, &c., were unanimously adopted. The meet-
ing was addressed by Messrs. Englefield, Fox, Berry
Harris, and others.

WAGES ON THE FAST DAY.--We understand that
the farmers generally throughout the country paid their
labourers the full amount of their wages on the fast-day.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner F')NBLANQUE.)
IN RE STEWART
Mr. DUNCAN made an application this morning under
a fiat sued out against a Mr. Stewart, a barrister, and
the litiaec of the Hippodr,me and Norley estates, and
who it was sought to be made bankrupt as a builder.
The case was argued at great length on Tuesday,
when it was contended, in --2pport of the fiat, that Mr.
Stewart being only lease-hider of the ground, and as f e
built on it for the purpose of selling, letting, or mort-
gaging the houses, &c., he was liable to be made bank-
rupt. On the contrary, it was urged, that Mr. Stewart
had a right to build for improvement on the land, as he
held it for 99 years, without being deemed a builder, so
as to be made a bankrupt.
Hts lloNoutt eas inclined to adopt this view of the
ease, but said he would take time to consider his judg-
ment.

Mr. DUNCAN ri,iw applied for permission should his
Honour's opinion be i,dverse to the fiat for further evi-
dence to be adduced, to show trading us a dealer and
chapman.
His HONOUR said he could not make an adjudication
except on the evidence as it stoi.d. lie could not take
evidence piecemeal, but if his opinion should be conclu- •
sively against the present fiat another might be sued out.
IN RE .
This was an application to his Honour to name a day
for the bankrupt to come up to pass his last examina-
tion, which had been adjourned sine die for want of
accounts. The accounts were now prepared.
His HONOUR said that he could wit name a'day un-
less the assignees said they considered there was a rea-
sonable probability that the bankrupt would be allowed
to pass on them. The bankrupt's paying the fees of
the Court did not remunerate the assignees for their
trouble ; and if a rule was not laid down to prevent it,
they could be greatly harrassed by these appointments.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
William Kent was charged before Mr. Henry with
stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Randall,
Broad- street, Bloomsbury.

Policeman Dunn saw the prisoner walk up to the door
of Mr. Randall's shop and take away a pair of boots from
a heap near the door, He followed him and took him
in charge. • i_
.1..
- • - :
The prisoner was committed.• i ~..

William O'Brien and James Collins, two boys, were
charg.-d with a precisely similar offence at the same
shop.
The constable stated that in about half an hour after
he had detected the last prisoner he was again standing
opposite Mr. Randall's shop, and he saw the prisoner
O'Brien snatch up a pair of boots and hand them to
Collins, who ran away. He seized O'Brien, and leaving
him in the care of Mr. Randall, pursued Collins, and
caught him with the Loots under his arm.

Mr. Randall said that he only opened his shop 00
Thursday morning, and several pairs of boots and shoes
had been stolen in the course of the day.
The prisoners were committed.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
John Lawrence and Ernest Sultz, two very respect-
ably dressed young men, were charged with robbing $
young lady's pocket of a sovereign, in an omnibus.
Maria Louisa Hammond said she and her sister got
into an omnibus at llungerford• market, and sat down 00
opposite sides. The prisoners afterwards entered the om-
nibus and sat down, Suit z:near the witness, and Lawrence
on the opposite side, close to her sister. It was not long
before a suspicious twitch at her bag, and a handling of
her mantilla put her on her guard, and excited her at-
tention to whatever might follow. She then observed
Lawrence, with his right glove off, Pummelling about the
side of her sister, but not yet being satisfied of the cri-
minal designs of either of the parties, she determined
to watch them. Sultz saw this and pressed the toe of
his companion opposite, and threw himself in different
attitudes, so as, if possible, to prevent her view. She
watched, however, and saw Lawrence withdraw hie
hand from her sister's side, and place something in hie
left waistcoat pocket. This convinced her that a rob"
jiwry had been committed ; but yet,- not to be too preei.'
pitate, she asked her sister to lend her some money'
Her sister, not aware of what had been going on, sua,
supposing this request at first was in mere joke, hesitate °,
but afterwards pulled out her purse, and found the save'
reign, which had been there just immediately before,
was gone, and the ring nearly off. Witness, therefore,
charged Lawrence with robbing her sister, and begged
the aid and protection of some of the gentlemen in the
vehicle. Lawrence, of course, denied having taken the
sovereign, but on the mention of a policeman he was for
leaving the omnibus. This was prevented, as no rolice'
man could be met, until the omnibus drove up to Mary'
lebone• lane station.
The prisoners were searched at the station-house, atta
on Lawrence were found, in his left waistcoat pocket one
sovereign and a half, some silver in the other pockets,
and two diamond rings on his fingers ; on Sultz three
sovereigns in one pocket. one sovereign and a lob,
folded in papzr in another, a gold pin in paper, solve
silver, and a paper attesting the owner's former acquaint-
ance with the penitentiary.
Mr. BINGHAM would have committed them then, bur'
for convenience sake, remanded them till Wednesday.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY-)
Henry Jones, was charged with having broken irta,
the house of Mr. Wm. Watson, No. 5, Park-row, 13,°10
loway, and stealing from it a quantity of plate, vtltis..
jewellery, and wearing apparel, on the morning of ):es
terday. There was a second charge preferred agsosg
,
him of breaking into the house Of Mr. Brock, in P."
Paul's-terrace, Islington.
It appeared from the evidence of a race-constable', '
that he was on duty in Park-rosi• yesterday morial
about half-past two o'clock, when he saw the prisoto
corning out of the gete of the house, N 0.6 Park-roei;

projecting from his pocket. Ile then took him to h
station- house, where he was search- d, and a large quart,
tity of plate found on him, as well as a small casket 001
taming a valuable diamond ring. The policeman irastra •
diately returned to the . spot where he found sh";
window of No. 5, was broken in, and On the
he saw a large silver teapot, a silver pickle itand,t;; -
Litter of which had been broken up, and on going
the house a quantity of wearing apparel and othe
articles were found packed up ready for removal. Actneer
the prisoner was taken to the station.house the attenti7i ,
of the sergeant on duty was attracted to a pair of bifr4
he had on, and in consequence of a burglary lei/
similar in character to the present having been 07:
mitted at the house of Mr. Brock, in St. Paul's-terra...l
Islington, on the 21st ult., when several pair of shl
and boots were stolen, the sergeant took the boots to

LAMBETH EXTENSION RAILWAY.—A GOOD HINDI
—Lambeth, though the great hierarchal capital of al
t
England, and for ages the chosen seat of archiepiscoPli:
dignity, does not possess a carriage-way, or continua,'
thoroughfare, from Westminster bridge to Vauxhall;
and few would venture to thread its pollution-breatbini
mazes who were not intimately acquainted with its -dittos'
purlieus. The attempt to continue a carriage-way freip
the end of York-road, which would have been of innerre
service to the whole locality, was once attempted, on t',
destruction of Astley's Theatre by fire; but archieP,
copal authority, and other overwhelming interests, en
tirely reckless of the public good, succeeded in defeati;
so laudable an object. At this time, however, a too'`
glorious A
glorious opportunity presents itselt for laying OUt
he
tine continuous street, or grand esplanade, along tki
entire length of the Lambeth extension line. It vvollnf
present a splendid example to all future promoters :t
extension lines which are to branch into the bel/'-r
of crowded cities or towns. Let the street
road be sufficiently wide, and the footway platie
with poplars or beech trees, like many of the lea
the
streets on the continent, and it would soon become .1-4
concentration of respectability and opulence, because
i:
the certainty of its being converted into a great and 31;
portant thoroughfare, and a place of general resort bet
on business and pleasure. The rentals of the boil°
which could be let either as elegant shops or private re;
sidences, would probably return a revenue ccrrespondend
with the original outlay; but if this could not be ensurer.'
owing to the extravagant demands of the various own,e.oo
of the miserable property at present occupying the' 11,.. •
of road, then most assuredly it would be the duty °lid
wise Government, alive to the amelioration of soeiell.
and the sanatory condition of the people, to extend theo,
all-powerful aid, though at some public cost, to the P„rt.
motion of so magnificent a project as the present opP-
tunity affords through the instrumentality of rsibv,,
enterprise. The line is now rapidly approaching to ee'::„
pletion. Let the present session of Parliament P 7.,
away, and the opportunity may be for ever lost.
