health was calculated to create al,:rm. On Saturday,
however, it was believed that there was no foundation
whatever for these rumours.

Mr. HARDWICK committed her for trial at th© Mid
dlesex sessions.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Moss, a middle-aged man, dressed in dark
clothes, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing
two great coats, the property of Mr. Saxton, of Albion-
place, Blackfriars-road. The prisoner is suspected of
committing several other robberies by the following
stratagem :
A servant girl in the complainant's house stated that
on Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, the prisoner
called, and, producing a bottle of dark-looking liquid,
said that he had. been sent from No. 14, Ludgate-hill,
and at the same time handed a receipt for 2s. 6d., for a
bottle of ink, signed W. 13. Moseley. He then said that
he would wait in the hall while she took the bottle and
receipt to her master, and she then proceeded to the
room, and had scarcely entered when she heard the
street-door shut. She immediatel) returned to the hall,
with her master, when the prisoner was found to have
left the house, taking with him two great coats which
were hanging up in the hall. The complainant hastened
after the thief in the direction of 13Iackfriars-bridge,
where he was secured with the articles in his possession.
The police-inspector said that information had been
received at the station-house that a man, answering the
prisoner's description, had succeeded in committing seve-
ral robberies of a similar character on the south side of
the river.
The MAGISTRATE (Mr. Seeker) said the prisoner's
appearance favoured the deception he had recourse to in
effecting his purpose, and asked him what he had to say
in answer to the charge ?—The prisoner, who looked
very desponding, said that at present he declined saying
anything on the subject.—He was remanded to give other
persons plundered by him an opportunity of attending.
George Bryant, a tall young man, was charged with
being found within the railing of Rowland Hill's chapel
for an unlawful purpose.
A policeman stated, that about one o'clock on Satur-
day morning he discovered the prisoner within the rails
of the above chapel, with an iron crow-bar, lucifer
matches, and a piece of candle ; suspecting he was about
to break into the chapel he apprehended him.
The prisoner said he was drunk, and went over the
rails to lie down ; that he knew nothing about the crow
bar, or how it came into his possession.
When asked to give an account of himself he said,
that he was a journeyman carpenter, in the employ of
Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and worked at the Houses

of Parliament ; that he was no thief, and had good

wages.

Mr. SECKER said that appearances at present were
certainly very much against the prisoner, the fact of a
housebreaking implement and other articles being found
in his possession favoured the presumption that his in-
tentions were to break into the chapel and commit

sacrilege.
The prisoner, however, declared that it was all arising
from intoxication during this holiday time.
Mr. SECKER said that, notwithstanding the prisoner's
asseverations of innocence, he should not part with him
until minute inquiry was made respecting him.—He
was then remanded.

Accounts have been received by the Ministry Of
Marine from Sydney, dated August 14, of the loss of
the corvette La Seine, on the 4th of July, on the
coast of New Caledonia. The details are not known,
but it is certain that the officers and crew were saved.
As soon as the loss of the vessel was known at Sydney,
everything was done by the British authorities in aid
of the officers and crew, 173 in number, and arrange-
ments were made to convey them back to France.
Colonel BARON BORY ST. VINCENT, honorary
member of the Academy of Sciences, and member of
several learned societies, has just expired, aged sixty-
six. Under the Empire this officer was engaged in
many of the great battles then fought, and was suc-
cessively aide-de-camp to Marshal NEY and Marshal
SOULT. The deceased was author of several scientific
works of great merit.

The Bulletin des Lois publishes an ordonnance,
modifying the system of customs at present in force
in Algeria. Pitch, and all kinds of bituminous sub-
stances, as well as fresh table fruits, are to be ad-
mitted free of duty. Bark for tanning is not to be
allowed to leave the colony for any other destination
than France.

The Courrier Francais says—
" We mentioned a few days since that the Bey of
Tunis had manifested an intention of establishing agents
in tie principal ports in Algeria. It is said that this
plan has been partly realised, and that the post of
Consul-General at Algiers has just been conferred on
one of the personages who accompanied him into France.
In order to show the advantage of this measure, it is
sufficient to mention the commercial movement of the
last few years between the Regency of Tunis, Algeria,
and France. The total value of exchanges between
France and Tunis was, in 1836, 2,497,000 f. ; in 1837,
3,373,000 f.; in 1838, 3,865,000 f.; in 1839, 3,131,000 f.; in
1840, 4,167,000 f. ; and in 1843, 6,006,0001: The com-
mercial movement between Algeria and Tunis amounted,
in 1836, to 379,000 f. ; in 1843, to 3,401,000:: This
great increase merits particular notice."

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Howland, a beardless youth, was charged with
smoking in one of the West end omnibusses, and vio-
lently assaulting the conductor.
John Evans, omnibus conductsr, No. 1,466, said he
was driving along Oxford-street last night, about half-
past seven o'clock, with his full complement of pas-
sengers, when one of the gentlemen inside complained
to him of a person smoking in the omnibus. He put in
his head and saw the prisoner with a cigar in his mouth
lit, which he requested him to put out. The prisoner
refused, and complainant therefore stopped the omnibus
and went inside and requested the young man a second
time to put the cigar out, and was answered only with
oaths and language of a disgusting description. Com-
plainant told him he must either put out the cigar or
leave the omnibus. The prisoner swore he would do
neither, and struck complainant several blows about the
face and head, completely smashing in his hat, and
knocking him out of the omnibus, down the steps, into
the street. Complainant, as he could not get
him out of the carriage, shut the door, and pro-
ceeded on his way till he met with a policeman.
lie called the constable, and wished him to take the pri-
soner into custody, but be became so violent, striking
the constable, that, at the policeman's advice, they pro-
ceeded fuother on with the omnibus till another constable
was got, and the prisoner was then given into custody.
Police-constable 153 D confirmed this evidence.
William Meeking, 101, East-street, Manchester-
square, said he was one of those in the omnibus last
night, having entered it immediately before the prisoner
in Edgware-road. From the place where the prisoner
got in in the Edgware-road to Oxford street he conti-
nued smoking, notwithstanding the entreaties of
several ladies who were in the conveyance, and even of
the lady that was with himself. One of the ladies had
a child on her knee, and the smoke caused the child to
cough without intermission. The witness then spoke to
the attack on the conductor and the police-constablee,
and confirmed the previous evidence.
The prisoner said he was a gentleman's valet, and that
he had put the cigar out when told to do so ; only the
manner in which the conductor told him to do it,
provoked him to forget himself. lie hoped the magistrate
would treat the case with leniency.
Mr. 1-lAnowlcx, after giving him a severe reprimand,
sentenced him to a tine of 50i., or one month's imprison-
ment, for the assault on the police-constable, and 505.,
or one month, fOr the assault on the conductor, in all 51.,
or two months' imprisonment.
Jane Muckle, a respectable-looking elderly woman,
was charged with entering a house in Windmill-street,
early on Sunday morning, and stealing several articles
therefrom.

Police-constable 107 C, said he was on duty in Great
Windmill-street, about a quarter-past one o'clock on
Sunday morning, and seeing the private door of the house
No. 22 open, he turned his bull's-eye upon it, and saw
the prisoner standing in the passre, with the basket,
which he produced in Court, in her hand. She put down
the basket, and he asked her whether she lived in the
house. She said she did, and in the second floor. He
knocked at the parlour door, and the landlord came out,
and said he knew nothirg whatever about the woman,
and the things she had were his. He therefore took her
into custody.
James bedeham, bootmaker, No. 22, Great Windmill-
street, identified the basket and the things which were
in it as his property. He had left them about half an
hour before in the kitchen. She prisoner was a stranger
to him.
