BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

An elderly man, named Thomas Dunn, was brought up
by 112 F division, who stated that at eleven o'clock this
morning he saw him go up to the shop-door of 237, High
Holborn, and, with the greatest coolaess, take a razor front
his pr,cket, with which he cut off the making of a coat from
a piece of cloth, which hung flaunting along the door post;
and the robbery was committed in such a bold manner he
hesitated for some time whether he would take charge of
him, as Ike might be one of the firm to whom the property
belonged.
Tlrc shopmen identified the cloth as his employer's
property, as also the cord attached to it, the price being'
marked on it in his own hand-writing. The cloth was
made fast by a piece of string, and was valued at 2gs.
Several constables came forward to prove that the pri-
soner had been repeatedly in custody, on charges of petty
thefts, but in consequence of the prosecutors not being
able to establish the cases sufficiently against him, he had
succeeded in escaping punishment.
The prisoner said he had committed the offence through
distress, and as other charges are to be brought against
him at a future day he was ordered to be remanded.

DEATH OF AN ALDERMAN FROM ABSTP
HENCE.—Alderman Thorn lived in purely aldermanic
style, until he arrivediat the age of fifty-four, when h e
utterly repudiated not only all intoxicating liquors, but
all animal food save that which existed invisibly in eeee,
tables and water. Such a total change of diet at his
age brought on almost. perpetual shivering, which, how-
ever, failed to induce him to forego his high resolve,
which gradually killed him ; and while some held a
minute post mortem examination to be essential to tbs 3
promotion of the science of pathology, others held it I
to he essential by no means, it being
clear that his living s,
had caused his death, or, in other words, that bis
mentary canal had been completely frozen overand,
finally, that fie was buried with appropriate pomv.
out the ice. being thus sacrilegiously broken.—Shviith-
Thorn (by Valentine Vo,r' in Bentley's Miscellany.
TURKISH ORDERS.—A letter from Constm:"
tinople, in the Scniapho're of Marseilles, says—" The
Order of the Nichan Iftihar has been conferred on
Soulier, the clown at the Circus, in token of the de-
light his feats have afforded to the Sultan, and it has
also been promised to the juggler Rodolphe. The Eu-
ropeans who were so ambitious of this mark of distinc-
tion, and used gold and intrigue to obtain it, will no doubt
now be disgusted, and cease their importunities."
A WHOLESALE SHEEP-STEALER.—On Tues'
day a quiet-looking country youth, who gave his name
John Richards, was brought before the Mayor and
Magistrates, for stealing upwards of3o sheep. He was
committed.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
REPRESENTATION OF THE UNITED Bo°
ROUGHS OF PENIEROKE, TENBY, MILFORD, AND
‘VIsToN.—A correspondent at Tenby writes—" A
severe contest is expected to take place between Sir
James Graham, the sitting member, and J, M. Childs,
Esq., of Begelly House, who comes forward on Whig
principles, and pledges himself to support Ministers.
Both gentlemen have published their addresses to the
electors, and on Tuesday last the friends of Sr James
canvassed this town, in anticipation of a dissolution of
Parliament, when a great majority kept their votes in
reserve, as Mr. Childs has only partially canvassed
here. I. cannot speak with so much confidence of the
other part of the constituency ; but I understand Sir
J. J. Guest H in treaty for the Orielton estates ; n,"l
it that purchase is perfected, there can be no doubt but
a liberal member will be returned for these boroughs."---
