GUILDHALL.

On Monday Thomas Frog was brought before Sir
James Duke, for final examination, charged with steal-
ing 250/. worth of lace, the property of Cyril Vidocq
and Co., lace dealers at Paris, on the Ist of June last.
Fulgue Pigache stated that he came to London as the
agent of the house at Paris, and put up at Ryder's Hotel,
in Salisbury-square. On the Ist of June he asked for
the porter at the hotel for some person to carry his box
of lace to various houses at the west end of the town.
The porter brought the prisoner to him, vnd he received
the box with directions to carry it to Mademoiselle Le
Norman's in George-street, Hanover-square, and wait
there till witness came to him. The prisoner, instead of
conveying the box there, disappeared, and the witness
did not see him again till he was taken into custody.
The lace had not been recovered.

Henry Gardner, a City policeman, said he apprehended
the prisoner on Ascot race-course a week after the rob-
bery. The prisoner gave an account about the box. He
sail that as he was going along Coventry-street a Jew
hailed him, and asked if he had anything for sale. Pri-
soner told him he had not. The Jew persisted that he
had, and said that he would give as good a price as any
body. The Jew took him into a public-house and treated
him, and afterwards invited him to a house in Coventry-
court, where prisoner sold him the whole of the lace for
about 30s. Witness had been endeavouring to apprehend
the Jew ever since, but had not been able to discover his
retreat

The prisoner offered no defence, and was committed
for trial.

The " New Monthly Magazine," which for so
many years past has continued the favourite periodical of all
classes of readers, is about to receive the attraction of a new
series of papers, from the pen of John Poole, Esq:, the popular
author of " Paul Pry." Few men are better qualified to paint
the scenes of many-coloured life existing in our day than this
amusing writer ; and in the career of Phineas Qui,idy, which
is the quaint title of Mr. Pool,a's work, we are:led to expect
such delineations of character and society, in a narrative replete
with the must irrp&:tible pleasantry, as must give to this ma•
gazine increased claims to the attention of the admirers of
genuine humour.

One of the most singular works, both as to
object and treatment, ever put forth in the garb of a novel,
is about immediately to appear under the name of " Wed-
lock." Contrary to the time-hallowed practice of works of
fiction, marriage, instead •f being held up as the grand de-
sideratum of young ladies, is shown to be oftener an unhappy
than a happy state ; and old-maidism is accordingly elevated
into enviable dignity. The Authoress's " living instances" of
infelicitous marriages are very numerous and very striking, and
she seems determined they should be held out as beacons.
" This," says she, " shall be done for my fair countrywomen,
and not before they want it• Are they not sacrificing them-
selves by myriads? Crying down single ladies, the queens of
creation, who ought to be canonized as saints, and topping
over them instead—a poor set of slaves, once as free to choose
as themselves."
