CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
William Samuel Ayre and Henry Hyatt were
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with breaking into the
premises of Mr. Litchfield, cabinetmaker, of 'White
Lion-street, Clerkenwell.
At ten o'clock last night, as the prosecutor was
closing the parlour window, he heard a noise in the
Yard, when he went out and saw Hyatt coming out
ct the wash-house. He seized him, when the other
Prisoner came out, and a policeman arriving they
were given into custody. On their way to the sta-
tion-house Hyatt dropped a picklock key, which Mr.
Litchfield picked up without saying anything, and
before they reached the station both of the pri-
soners dropped no less than seven skeleton keys
and common keys of various patterns. When
searched at the station-house, various other house-
breaking instruments were found upon them, and also
a tremendous weapon, called in flash parlance "a
skull-cracker." There were several articles of wearing
apparel and two silver spoons also discovered in their
possession.

- Mr. Litchfield said he could not identify any of
this property.
Mr. TTRWHITT said as that was the fact, he must
treat the case as being found• upon the premises for
an unlawful purpose, instead of as a burglary. He
should send each of the prisoners to the House of
Correction for two months, with bard labour.

A ROMANCE OF LOVE AND MAR-

RIAGE.
Coachmen and guards—guards in particular—time
Out of mind, have been proverbial for their gallantry;
and events justify the conclusion that the modern race
do no dishonour to their predecessors in this particu-
lar. It is not, therefore, to be wondered at that Mr.
Robert Moore, guard of the London and Holyhead
Mail, as he passed every day through the Abbey
Poregate, Shrewsbury, looked with some degree
ofinterest, which probably displayed itself in his
countenance, at tthe possessor of a pair of
fine
eyes which peered regularly from the window
as the coach rattled through the street. The
admiring look gradually expanded to a smile,
and then he ventured on a bow of friendly
recognition, which was coquettishly but unmis-
takeably returned. This was in the month of April.
A week or two of this pantomimic courtship passed,
:When an opportunity occurred which brought them
into more immediate contact. As the coach dashed
along the street, the lady was absent from the win-
dow ; but on the road . stood a well-known female
figure, which requested to be conveyed to Welsh-
pool. She was invited to take her seat by the guard,
and from that moment he was a doomed man. In
the course of an interesting conversation she
inadvertently let drop a few expressions which
showed that she was the widow of Colonel Tripp,
allied to a noble family, and left with a very hand
some maintenance. She was lonely, however, and
'unused herself with her brother's children. Mr. Moore
naturally felt increased interest in the lady, was
highly delighted with her manner and conversation,
and parted with her with much regret. They met
again ; the favourable impression she had made on him
at first was deepened; interviews were more frequent,
and at length he asked the important question, and
as, after a considerable amount of hesitation, accepted.
As was due to the lady of Colonel Tripp, Mr. Moore
and his bride drove to Birmingham in handsome style,
aad• on the 15th of June (about two months from the
time they had first seen each other), they were mar-
tied by license at the Old Church, Edgbaston.
After
the ceremony, they immediately started to
London, and took apartments at the Euston-square
o•
tel. Here they resided for ten weeks, in a con-
• ed round of gaiety ; and Mrs. Moore took occa-
awn, while in London, to visit some of her aristocratic
acquaintances. A fashionable equipage was always
at their service; the parks were regularly visited;
and Mr. Moore felt renewed delight and interest in
the recognition by his lady of the nobility as they
handsome
lolled easily along in carriages scarcely more
nandsome than his own. As it was necessary, however,
that some settlement with regard to her money should
take place, she expressed a wish to call on Glyn
and Co., of Lombard-street, her bankers, to as-
certain exactly in what condition her affairs were.
She accordingly did so, and found that, instead of
having 5,0001., as she expected, Messrs. Glyn bad
not more than 2,000/.; but that 3,0001. were invested
in a club at the Thatched House Tavern, which could
easily be made available. Satisfied with the explana-
tion, they had time to enjoy themselves. Mrs. Moore,
who was particularly acquainted with the Earl of Jer-
sey, made frequent
.visits to his Lordship's house, in
Berkeley-square ; called on the Duke of Wellington, at
Apsley House; visited at Lord Palmerston's, and left
her cards at the residence of many or her titled friends.
Accordingly, finding she was possessed of ample fortune,
she entreated Mr. Moore to give up his situation
as guard of the mail, as not only was it unnecessary
150 far as pecuniary matters were concerned, but de-
ri?gatory to a lady of her birth and connexions.
▪ his proposition, however, he took time to consider,
and ten weeks having elapsed since they arrived
PI London, they returned to Birmingham. Then
it Was that whispers began to reach his ears
that his wife was not exactly so nobly connected
as he had imagined ; and although he did
think it strange, that while visiting the houses
of the nobility with his wife, he had to
remain in the carriage, yet he gave no heed
to the slander, and threatened actions against
some of his friends who propagated it. Writing,
however, to Mr. Yates, of Pontypool, who had a suffi-
cient sum of money of hers in his hands to defray in-
cidental expenses—their trip to London being some-
what expensive, costing about 500/. Mr. Yates re-
turned an answer that he had not a farthing belonging
to the lady. Subsequent inquiry made more alarm-
ing disclosures. It was found that the lady had not
a farthing in the world, was neither nobly born nor
aristocratically connected, was not the widow of
Colonel Tripp, and, what was far worse, was no
widow at all, but the wife of a commercial
traveller, with four children. Mr. and Mrs.
Tripp, however continued to live together
for several years, and four children were
born ; but from some cause or other they eventually,
about two years ago, separated, Mr. Tripp allowing
his wife sufficient maintenance for herself and
children. Here was a discovery for Mr. Moore—
duped, disappointed, cheated out of upwards of 5001.,
and married to another man's wife ; he gave her into
custody at Birmingham, on a charge of bigamy
She was taken on Friday last to Shrewsbury, in
custody of Inspector Glossop, the marriages proved
against her, and the fact of her first husband
being alive satisfactorily demonstrated by his being
in Shrewsbury. On Monday she was remitted to
Birmingham, and brought up at the public office here,
but no prosecutor appearing against her, she was
discharged ; and so ended one of the most consum-
mate pieces of deception, admirably contrived, and
skilfully executed, which has taken place in this part
of the country for some time.—Birmingham Journal.

EMIGRATION TO SOUTR AUSTRALIA.—From a Par-
liamentary return just issued, it appears that the ave-
rage cost of passage of emigrants from England to South
Australia, in ships chartered by her Majesty's Colonial
Land and Emigration Commissioners from the Ist of
January, 1846, to the present time, is computed at
37,4011.; the number of statute adults embarked in
fifteen ships being 3,021; and the average toss of each
adult being 121. is. 7id. A statute adult is one person
of the age of fourteen years and upwards, or two per-
sons between ono and fourteen. This amount represents
the net average cost of the conveyance and victualliag
of the emigrants, and is exclusive of gratuities allowed
to the surgeons, superintendent, and officers of the ships,
and other small inciden:al expenses, as books, &c.

LEITIL—GUANO.—As it may be useful to agri-
culturists to know the prospects of supply of this article
for next season, we give the following statistics, com-
piled from authentic information :—ln September last
year the stock in the ports of the Clyde amounted to
upwards of 18,000 tons ; in Leith at the same date it
exceeded 4,500 tons ; the price then ranged from 71. 10s.
to 8/. per ton. The stock in Glasgow on September 18,
1847, comprehending all qualities of Ichaboe, was only
4,000 tons. In Leith the stock was only 1,100 tons,
which, taken together, gives only 5,100 tons to supply
the consumption, which last year amounted to 17,400
tons. The price now asked is 91. per ton. How is the
supply to be made up, although it is generally allowed
that it is equal, compared with other manures, to 151.
per ton. _

NA.VVIE RIOT.—On Saturday morning last, in
consequence of the bad state of the weather, the navvies
were prevented from working, and they wandered about
the streets of Stonehaven in groups. Between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon the Highlanders and
Irish disagreed, when a fierce scufflo ensued, in which
the Highlanders were victorious. They then paraded
the streets in triumph, howling and making a mostb
hideous noise, to the annoyance of the peaceable inba
tants, until between nine and ten at night, when, it
would appear, they had wrought up their passions to
the highest pitch, for they went in pursuit of a tradesman
belonging to this place who had become obnoxious to
them from his having occasionally assisted the police in
apprehending several of their fellow-labourers. The
individual fled from their rage, but still they pursued,
and attacked a widow's house, in which they thought he
had taken shelter, violently forcing open the door, but
providentially missed their prey, for he was concealed
in another quarter. The five navvies who were appre-
hended on Saturday were brought up for trial on Mon-
day before the sheriff,: when they all pleaded guilty, and
were sentenced as follows:—one to forty dap, three to
thirty days, and one to twenty days' imprisonment.—

HIGH TIDE AT DovEß.—Last Sunday, at noon,
the tide was higher at Dover harbour than it has been
for several years. At the mouth the depth of water
measured twenty feet, whilst several of the piers and
jetties were completely overflowed. The hotel which the
South-Eastern Company are erecting at the terminus,
had several feet of water in the kitchens and cellars.
