BOW-STREET.

On Saturday John Fisher, shopman to Mr. Gadd,
linendraper, of Hungerford-street, and Francis
Burgess, a por:er, were charged with robbing their
employer of property to a large extent. It seemed
that Burgess had called at the shop of Mr. Fledges,
a pawnbroker in Drury-lane, and offered a quantity
of new satin handkerchiefs in pledge, stating, in
answer to inquiries, that they had been given to him
by Fisher to raise money upon. He had another
parcel under his arm, which contained a number of
new shirts. On being asked what he intended to do
with them, he declared he was about to take them to
Fisher's mother to be washed. Mr. Hedges, suspect-
ing all was not right, detained both parcels, and
ordered Burgess to send Fisher to him, or he would
detain the property. Mr. Hedges sent a shoprnan to
Mr. Gadd's warehouse, who learned that the articles
had been stolen from the stock of that gentleman.
Fisher, however, declared that he had taken the pro-
perty and paid fbr it at the time, haring entered it
on the books at cost price. Burgess said that he
pledged the property at the request of Fisher, for
whom he had been in the habit of performing similar
offices for some time back.

Mr. Gadd's father-in-law was in attendance, who
said his son had been confined to his bed for some
time, during which _he suspected a constant system
of robbery had been carried on by both the prisoners.
The prisoners, who declined saying anything, were
remanded for a week.

THAMES Coxszuverwr.—On Saturday the City
Remembrancer (Mr. Tyrell) lodged the requisite no-
tices, with the plans and sections, &c., on behalf of the
Mayor and Corporation of the city of London, of in-
tended application, during the ensuing session of Parlia
ment, for power to effectually conserve the navigation
of the River Thames. This proposed Act empowers
the Mayor and Corporation to erect jettys and piers for
steam-boats, to levy tolls on steam-boats, to license
steam-boat captains, and regulate the number of pas-
sengers to be carried according to the tonnage of the
vessel, &c. _ _

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.—While a worthy indi-
vidual was " laying down the law," the other day to a
knot of hislacquaintances, he caught the eye of a carter
hard by, who had been vainly endeavouring to raise a
sack of potatoes to his cart, and who appealed to the
man of knowledge, " Come awe., Mr. -, knowledge is
power, ye ken ; gie us a lift on wi' this peck o' tattes."
