MARYLEBONE.

John locks, driver of the 474, was placed at
the bar, before. Mr. Long, charged with the double of-
fence of attempted rape and .robbery. Ann Ormond, a
delicate-looking young woman, about 19 years of age,
stated that on the previous evening she rode in the priso-
ner's vehicle to Portman-square, and after setting down
a gentleman who accompanied her she gave directions
that she should be driven to the City-road. The priso-
ner then got inside, passing the reins through the front
window, and had not proceeded Many yards when he
behaved with the greatest indecency, and otherwise con-
ducted himself ,towards her in such a manner as to con-
vince liar that his object was to violate her person. She
made a violent resistance, and while struggling with the
prisoner he tore from her side a pocket, containing two
shillings in silver and some papers.,
Police-constable 157 D said that hearing some one
cry out for assistance, he hastened to the spot and found
the prosecutrix, who had alighted from the cab, standing
in the road. The prisoner was upOn the box, and when
he saw witness he jumped down, exclaiming that he had
lost his whip. He (witness) saw • him go round to the
back of the vehicle and pick up something, which he
threw away into an area, and on taxing him with the
robbery he said ‘, I snatched the pocket off, and you'll
find the two shillings in the bottom of the cab ; don't be
a fool, but let me go, and I'll give you a crown for your-
self." Witness then took the prisoner into custody, and
subsequently discovered the two shillings in the bottom
of the vehicle as before stated ; the pocket, with the pa-
pers in it, were also picked pp in the area.
The prisoner. who it was stated was not a licensed
driver, and that lie had no right.i'vhatever to have been
in possession of the cab, was committed.

A great singing festival : has just been held at
LuNig,:tburg (Louisburg), at which 74 singing societies,
compriAng 2,300 singers, frOm the towns and villages of
the neighbourhood, assembled. The North Germans will
also be astir next month, for the Hamburg Rstiva , at
which, among other attractions, M. Liszt has been en-
gaged to appear. But the greatest piece of foreign mu-
sical new:: during the week, figures in the Belgian jour-
nals, which announce the invention, by M. Sax, of a steam
organ—a monster-instrument, with vibrating plates (huge
steel bars to which immense paessure alone can commu-
nicate vibration),—capable of being heard ooer a whole pro-
vince !—Athenaunt.

chest.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.
FALMOUTH, THURSDAY.—We regret to have
to announce the decease of his Excellency hl Governor

MORNING SITS

THE " HAUNTED" HOUSE AT
CLEWER, NEAR WINDSOR.
The extraordinary knocking (e,upposeu- ix, agains,t
the door of the water-closet) liaving still continued
even increased violence, an intelligent man, helon,gitig
10
the Windsor police, has been stationed ~n the pr,:iai,es
during the week, and notwithstanding he has frequentlY
been within two or three yards of the spot from whence
the sound proceeded, at the very time, he has not been
able to make the least discovery of its, apparently,
terious origin.
A scientific gentleman, from London, having seen in
the papers on account of the noise heard in the house,
has visited the premises three times during the 1"t text
days (the last time was on Monday, at the request of the
tenant), and tried various experiments to endeavour so
discover the cause, but without the least success. The
boards of the tloor,• both inside and around the cloet,
have been all taken up, and excavations made to the
.
depth of several feet. • The drain has been opened 5.11;
closely examined, and the party has even gone so far wit,u
his experiments as to have the water in an adjoining ditch
analysed. Mr.. Manley, the parish sexton, attended with
the grave-digger's sounding iron, and sounded the ground
within and without, to the depth of upwards of five feet,
but no clew was obtained, and the knocking still c;)11/,:,
tinned, at intervals, as before. On Monday 1464 „,`,:t;
noises were more frequent and violent than ever. 111
policeman, who was on the alert during the whole th
counted, within • 12 hours, 13 distinct knockingl, of tT
same character as haVe been before described.
On the following day (Tuesday) at two o'clock, till:
family removed from the house, taking with them t
whole of their furniture. Previously to their loot
the knocking came on at half-paut seven o'clock t"
mornin the policeman bein there.
As ag, n extraordinary sensatig on was created throughugs:
the neighbourhood on the subject, as well as certain isurr
picions excited, four respectable gentlemen of Windsor
were determined to endeavour to ascertain if the 11°;,,
had been caused by means of trickery (which
strongly suspected) or not. They, therefore, by
sion of the agent of the party to whom the vropertY
longs, agreed to go to the house that evening, 11M1 re
main there there during the whole of the night. They did s(''s
accompanied by the policeman, and two other Peri
who resided in the neighbourhood. From nine oclec,;
the hour at which the arrived, until eiht o'clock t:;,
following morning, when' they left, " not a sound I've!.
heard," nor did either the candles .or the fire burn blunt
The policeman has been in the house ever since, and n
the slightest noise has been heard. that
It does, certainly, appear exceedingly strange tin.sl
these " mysterious, ' and by . some called " suPerns—lf
noises," should have ceased from the time of the f:
re
leaving the house. If it were a trick, of which IR. r
can now be but little doubt, it was an exceedingly ele
although a very mischievous and wanton one.
It appears to be a second edition of the Cock-11W
e
ghost.
