GUILDHALL.

On Monday Thomas Frog was brought before Sir
James Duke, for final examination, charged with steal-
ing 2501. worth of lace, the property of Cyril Vidocq
and Co., lace dealers at Paris, on the Ist of June last.

Fulgue Pigache stated that he came to London as the
agent of the house at Paris, and put up at Ryder's Hotel,
in Salisbury-square. On the Ist of June he asked for
the porter at the hotel for some person to carry his box
of lace to various houses at the west end of the town.
The porter brought the prisoner to him, end he received
the box with directions to carry. it to Mademoiselle Le
Norman's in George-street, Hanover-square, and wait
there till witness came to him. The prisoner, instead of
conveying the box there, disappeared, and the witness
did not see him again till he was taken into custody.
The lace had not been recovered.

Henry Gardner, a City policeman, said he apprehended
the prisoner on Ascot race-course a week after the rob-
bery. The prisoner gave an account about the box. He
said that as he was going alonc, Coventry-street a Jew
hailed him, and asked if he had anything for sale. Pri-
soner told him he had not. The Jew persisted that he
had, and said that he would give as good a price as any
body. The Jew took him into a public-house and treated
him, and afterwards invited him to a house in Coventry-
court, where prisoner sold him the whole of the lace for
about 30s. Witness had been endeavouring to apprehend
the Jew ever since, but had not been able to discover his
retreat.

The prisoner offered no defence, and was committed
for trial. _

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YEsTERDAT.

The St. Leger betting was confined to the two
favourites, the offers against the others not having led
to any business. Coronation had the call of the field at
evens, and 4 to 1 was taken four or five times about Van
Amburgh. The odds stated against Middleham, Tear-
away, and Lampoon, were offered without effect. The
Derby was an equally flat affair, and does not call for any
observations.

WONDERFUL TRAVELLING.—We are inform-
ed that a distance of 57 miles has been travelled on the
common road, in a Bath chair, by electro-magnetic
Power, in one hour and a half. And further, that the
applier comes over daily from St. Albans to the Bank
of England in the said chair in half an hour, at an ex-
pense of sixpence. The model of an electromag-
netic engine, which has been exhibiting at the
Adelaide Gallery for some time, is an instance of
ingenious mechanic arrangement, whereby contact
is broken and renewed, the poles reversed, &c. ; and
from its performances gave great promise of practical
powers on a larger scale. The battery employed is the
nitric acid, or Grove's battery. Of the invention that
has done the great feat, and established the successful
application of this wonderful agent, we know little more
than its success. We hear that the increase of power is
due to the discovery, of a new combination of elements;
that this is the secret of the moving power ; and that
the battery is to be the subject of a patent.—Literary
Gazette, Aug. 21. _
