BOW-STREET.

Michael Connor and Catherine Al' Grath, a boy and girl,
both about fourteen years of age, and without shoes or stock-
ings, were placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with
having broken into the house of a Mr. Smith, who resides in
Church-street, St. Giles's, and stealing therefrom a coat, waist
coat, and other articles, to the value of three pounds.
It appears that the prisoner, who is well known to the police,
having been many times convicted of felony , and, on one oc-
casion, had been sentenced to tea years' transportation, which
sentence was afterwards commuted to a term of imprisonment,
had been seen loitering about the premises of Mr. Smith, with
a number of other equally bad characters; and, on Tuesday,while
Mr. Smith was from home, he (the prisoner) succeeded in ob-
taining the key of one of Mr. Smith's rooms, from his
daughter, a little girl of twelve years of age, and effected
the robbery of which he stood charged. As soon as Mr. Smith
returned, and had discovered his loss, he gave information to
the police, and the prisoners were taken into custody.
The female prisoner was with the other prisoner when the
robbery was committed, and when taken into custody she con-
fessed to the officer, George Restieaux, the whole of the
transaction.
The prisoners were committedfor trial.

A GREAT CONSOLATION.--I remember when

I was a young student of divinity at the University of Glasgow,
that an old man, by his confession and by general reputation a
great sinner, called upon me and begged me to explain the
scripture doctrine as to future punishments. His anxiety was
to ascertain whether they were to commence immediately after
death, or only after the day of judgment. I told him that I
was but a raw student of theology, but I conceived it to be the
general opinion of divines that no punishments would com-
mence till after the day of judgment, or the general destruc-
tion of the world. " And how long will it be," he asked,
" till that period comes?" " Why, I cannot positively tell
you," said I, " but I believe astronomers conjecture that our
globe will be safe for 1,000,000 years." " Oh, come then,"
said the old sinner, " I shall have 1,000,000 years to rest in
my grave--and there is no saying what may happen in that
time."— Campbell's Life of Petrarch.
ODE ON THE BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE.

—This celebrated ode first appeared in the Newry Tele-
graph, with the initials of the author, Charles Wolfe. A
writer in the same paper, one " Canis-Lupus Hibernicus,"
has just complimented Mr. Macintosh, the Scottish
schoolmaster, who claimed the authorship, by doing
the whole into doggrel after the following fashion:—
" No useless coffin iaclosed his breast,
Nor in sheet nor in shroud we bound him ;
But he lay our dominie,' all in his best,
With his Macintosh' around him !"
