BURGLARY.—TI'iIIiant Edwards and William Baker
were indicted with burglariously entering the dwelling-
house of Mr. Thomas Morris, in Turner-street, Bethnal-
green, and stealing therefrom various articles of wear-
ing apparel, and other property.
It appeared that on Sunday, the 15th of the present
month, the prosecutor and his wife went out about three
o'clock P.m., leaving an elderly lady, named West, and her
daughter, who were lodgers, in the house ; Mrs. West
and her daughter also left shortly afterwards. On the
prosecutor's return, about six o'clock, upon endeavour-
ing to open the door he discovered that it was bolted
inside, and upon going round to the back part of the
house he discovered the prisoner Baker getting over the
wall and Edwards below. The property stolen was on
the ground outside the wall, in a bag. The prisoner
Baker was immediately taken into custody, and Ed-
wards was secured after a short chase.

Mr. Iluddlestone conducted the case for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Payne and Mr. Ellis were counsel for the
prisoners.
The jury foumi both prisoners Guilty, and '
Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced Edwards to
ten years' transportation and Baker to seven years.

MARLBR(Y-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward O'Brien was placed at the bar, charged with
being found on the premises of Mr. Wilcox, for the pur-
pose of committing a felony.
Thomas Wilcox, licensed victualler, Bear-street, Lei-
cester-square, said the lodger next door came into his
house about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night,
and said he heard the cries of some men on his premises,
as if calling out for help, and he supposed he must be
in complainant's chimney. Complainant got out on the
leads, and louked down one of the flues, and there cer-
tainly he saw the man at the bar, who had evidently
dropped in, with his hands helplessly extended above his
head, and in that position he had sunk till he could get
no further.
The prisoner said he had been drinking and was
tipsy, and fell into the flue.
Police-constable 52 C said he went to the top of the
house and took the prisoner out of the flue. He was not
drunk at the time, nor did he appear to have been
drinking.
Police-constable 27 C knew the prisoner as the asso-
ciate of thieves. He had been committed for two
months to prison for stealing a copper.
Mr. HARDWICK committed the prisoner for two
months to the House of Correction, for bring on the
premises for an unlawful purpose.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A very respectable-looking yoang man, named
Thomas Joyce, was charged with indecently assaulting
Ellen Vinell, under the following circumstances :—The
prisoner and two companions were walking along the
old St. Pancras-road, when they overtook the com-
plainant and three other females, with whom they en-
deavoured to enter into conversation, but were repulsed,
and at a lonely part of the road the prisoner laid hold of
Miss Vinell's arms, and committed the assault com
plained of. The prosecutrix called a policeman, but the
prisoner being determined to have the advantage of
making the first accusation, made a charge against her
of having attempted to pick his pocket.
Mr. GREENWOOD, after hearing all the evidence
which occupied nearly two hours, said he considered the
charge to be fully established, and that the mode taken
by the prisoner to rebut it was disgraceful. Ile should
fine him 51., and in default, ordered him to be committed
for two months to the House of Correction, with hard
labour.

WORSHIP S REET.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry and Elizabeth Gobey were charged with having
in their possession a variety of articles, the alleged pro-
perty of Mr. Atkinson Morley, proprietor of the hotel
bearing his name in Old Burlington-street, Bond-street.
Police-sergeant Price said that in consequence of
information he had received, he proceeded to Mr. Morley,
who accompanied him to the prisoners' lodgings in
George-street, Shoreditch. They were both at home.
On a table in their room were perceived three decanters
and some wine-glasses, which Mr. Morley identified at
once as his property. The female prisoner said that one
of the decanters she had found in a dust-hole at Mr.
Morley's, whilst she was a servant at the hotel; that the
others were his (Mr. Morley's) property, as well as the
glasses, but that she did not take them. During this
search, the male prisoner kicked against one of the de-
canters, which was lying upon the floor under the bed,
and broke it. Witness then sent for another constable,
and the male prisoner was conveyed to the station-house.
Witness continued his search, and in a box found some
linen articles, bed-furniture, carpeting, and a hearth-
rug, &c. &c.; some of these the female prisoner said she
had found, and others she bad purchased whilst in Mr.
Morley's employ.
The articles were now produced, and Mr. Morley
identified some of them. The female prisoner was house
or chambermaid in his employment about a year and a
half ago. He did not believe that the male prisoner had
any knowledge of the robbery.
Mr. Coo➢tßE said he should admit the male prisoner
to bail in two sureties of 201. each, for his appearance on
Saturday, but that the wife should be remanded until
that day.

STATISTICS or THE STEAM NAVY.—A corre-
spondent of the Times, in defending the Government for
raising the status of the first-class naval engineers by
making them ward-room officers, furnishes the following
statistics of the steam navy of this country. The steam-
engines employed in the navy amount to 38,938 horse-
power, which, at 50.. per horse, costs 1,946,4001.; and
the spare gear for ditto, at 5 per cent., 97,345/.; making
a total of 2,044,245/. for the value of our steam machinery
afloat. To work this machinery we should, at the rate
of 10lb. of coals per horse-power per hour, consume
4,172 tons of coals per day; take the average price in the
different parts of the world in which they would be used
at 30s. per ton, and we find we consume 6,2581. worth
per c'ay. Allow the whole fleet to be employed one-
third of the year at the same rate, and we incur an ex-
pense of 763,476/. for coals ; say for tallow, oil, &e.,
38,524/.; and for replacing and repairing machinery (per
naval estimate), 450,0001.; and we find our annual ex-
pense for working this machinery amounts to 1,252,000/.
ANDY FOLSOM DISSATISFIED WITH AN EAST
VICTORY.—On Saturday Mrs. Abigail Folsom appeared
in the justices' court to answer to a writ of ejectment
brought by Mr. Whithridge, her landlord; but as he did
not appear to assert his right to turn Abby out of doors,
the court ordered him to be defaulted, and gave judg-
ment in Abby's favour. As this peaceable settlement of
the case cut Abby off from her intended speed', she ex-
pressed great dissatisfaction, and insisted upon appeal-
ing. It was in vain that she was told she could not

to carry her point in that court, she mounted up to the
common pleas room, walked into the chief justice's
crimson bound sanctum, called his attention to her by
tapping him on the shoulder, stated her grievance to
him, and insisted that he should receive her appeal. The
chief justice, as soon as he had recovered from his sur.
prise, ordered officer G. _Andrews to remove the lady
from the bench and the court- room. It was not without
the use of some physical force that the officer ejected
Abby.—Boston Post.
A HoßsE's REVENGE.—Two days ago the owner
of a horse, at the time standing in Mr. Lamontague's
stable at Point Levi, while in a state of intoxication,
entered the animal's stall, and it is supposed began to
tease him, when the horse threw him down, and fulling
upon his knees, worried him like a dog would. The
groans of the man brought the ostler and one or two

THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT EALING.
—lnspector Langster, of Ealing, who conveyed for iden-
tification, on Saturday, at the Old Bailey, the property
stolen by Esther Elizabeth White from Mr. Jones, found
that during his journey he lost 102 gold and silver coins,
which constituted a portion of the stolen property
through a hole in his pocket.
THE RAZOR-STROP MAN.—The liberality with
which this celebrated individual gives for charitable
purposes is well known. An instance occurred on Tues-
day last at Canandaigna. He left the cars at Blossom's
Refreshment-house, and taking his stand before the
building soon draw the crowd from the tables to listen to
his peculiar eloquence. During the " ten minutes "he
had sold nine strops, and just as the bell began to ring,
he espied in the crowd a poor old man who was peddling
pea-nuts and candy. Instantly the razor-strop man
threw 18s., the proceeds of his sale, into the old man's
basket, and stepped on board the cars, leaving the object
of his benefaction astonished at so sudden and welcome
an exercise of bounty.—Rochester American.
A THIEF DROWNED BY HIS PLUNDEL—On Thurs-
day last, as a man named George Harding was attempt-
ing to escape, by means of a boat, from the yard of
Mr. Kennett, railway contractor, Bristol, he over-
balanced himself, and fell into the water. The weight
of the stolen iron upon his person caused him to sink
to the bottom, and before he could be got out life was
extinct.

THE VISIT OF THE COURT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE.--
A detachment of 36 troopers from the 12th Lancers,
from Hounslow Barracks, under command of Lieutenant
Sutton, arrived on Saturday at the George Hotel, Ports-
mouth, to form a royal escort to her Majesty and Court
on their journey to Arundel Castle, on Tuesday next.
Twenty horses from the royal stables, one carriage, and
a number of domestics, arrived at the George on Sunday
morning.

THE SWEDISH POET TEGNER.
We have already announced the death of this highly
gifted man. The Berlingsche .Zeitung of the 12th says:—
" The Skald (Swedish bard) of Axel and Frithioff,
Bishop Esaias Tegner, is no more. After having expe-
rienced very indifferent health for several years, and
after having been exposed to not less than six strokes
of apoplexy, he fell asleep without pain, tranquilly and
peacefully, on the 11th day after the last attack, viz.,
on Monday, the 2d of November, at half-past eleven at
night, aged 64. Esaias Tegner was born on the 13th of
November, 1782, at Hyfkerad, in the Bishopric of Carl-
stadt. At the age of 17 he was a student in Lund; in
the year 1800 he was amanuensis there in the Academi-
cal Library; he received the best character (laudatur) at
the examination of the candidates for philosophical de-
grees from all the professors, and was in this way
magister prinzus, and soon after a professor of aesthetics.
Some time afterwards he was academical adjunct in Lund.
In 1806 he was simultaneously appointed to the vice-
bibliothecal chair, and notary to the Philosophical Fa-
culty. Ho thereupon married a young lady belonging
to the family in which he had at an earlier period of his
life been domestic tutor, Mademoiselle A. M. G. Myhr-
man, and in 1811 the Swedish Academy honoured his
Skald poem, Swea, with their high approbation. A year
afterwards, he was, with a suspension of all the cus-
tomary forms, elected Professor of Greek Literature to
the University of Lund, and appointed pastor-prebend
of Staelje. It was on his induction into holy orders
that he wrote the poem, so resplendent with celestial
beauty, on The Ordination of Priests. Axel was now
composed and published ; then The Night Watchtower
Sentry's Child; subsequently his "epilogue to the pro-
motion in Lund in 1820," and " Song on the Tun,"
which Leopold places in the first rank amongst all his
minor poems, as well as the celebrated Frithioff Saga,
which, according to Franzen's judgment, raised Tegi fir
to the rank of the most eminent poets of modern times,
and diffused his name, not only throughout Europe, but
even to the other extremities of the globe. The poet
now assumed Oxenstiern's place in the Swedish Aca-
demy; and in 1824, the same year in which his Frithiqf
immortalised his name, he was made Bishop of Wexio.
Of the manner in which, as president of the schools and
churches, he fulfilled his sacred calling, evidence is af-
forded by several of his discourses, and the remarkable
proceedings of the assemblies of preachers in 1836. Im-
mediately after his appointment to the bishopric he be-
came a Knight-Commander of the Order of the Northern
Star, the small cross of which he had already received
when professor. From this period he only sounded his
tuneful lyre on casual occasions; but there is ground for
hope that a by no means inconsiderable number of new
and longer poems will be found bequeathed by him to
posterity. Francis Michael Franzen, who some years
ago wrote a biography of Tegner, concluded it in these
words:—' Although the northernly element forms partly
the spirit, and partly the staple of his poems, his poesy
is nevertheless deeply imbued with southern luxuriance
and beauty. With respect to his fresh and brilliant co-
louring, and the richness of his imagery and ideas, he
might be compared to an orange tree, whose powerful
and wholly green tints are adorned with ripe fruit by the
side of newly-burst blossoms. In short, Tegner's death
is an almost irreparable loss to the lovers of Swedish
literature, the most beautiful, of its kind, that exists in
a language.' "

INQUEST ON THE CANON RIEGO.—The inquest
on the body of Michael Riego, who was found dead in
his lodgings in Seymour-street, was resumed this day
before Mr. G. C. Mills, coroner, at the Coronation
public-house, Seymour-street, New-road. Rear-Admiral
Sir Charles Malcolm, G.C.8., Mr. Macdonnell, and other
friends of the deceased, and the female and boy attend-
ant, who resided in the house with the deceased up to
the time of his death, were examined, after which the

jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of" Natural
death." The deceased was brother to the celebrated
Spanish general, Riego, the leader of the insurrectionary
movement which took place in Spain, which terminated
in his execution.

THE FORGERIES BY THE POSTMASTER AT BARNET.

—Some time since John Pearce Morse, a chemist and
druggist at Barnet, where he was also postmaster, ab-
sconded, as is well known, from that town, having com-
mitted forgeries of post-office orders to between 2,0001.
and 3,000/. Subsequent to the discovery of the circum-
stances, a reward of 50 guineas was offered for his ap-
prehension, and, from the inquiries instituted, it was
fund that he had gone off to the continent. Peake, one
of the Post-office officers, was then sent to Bruges, here
it was ascertained Morse had been seen, but found on
his arrival there that he had left that city for Brussels.
Peake followed him to Brussels, and from thence traced
him to Ostend, where he was discovered under the name
of Morton, living at the house of a hair-dresser, in a
very reduced state, having squandered away all the
money he took with him, which is believed to have been
a considerable sum. He was immediately taken into
custody by the Belgian authorities for travelling under a
false name, but it is not at present known whether he
will be brought over to this country to be punished for
the crime he has committed.

THE RIVER PLATE.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—
We are informed that our Government has united with
the French Cabinet in approval of Mr. Hood's proposi-
tion to terminate the difficulties of the River Plate. We
may consequently anticipate a speedy pacification of the
affairs of the Argentine and Oriental republics.
SALE OF CADETSHIPS.—The grand jury have re-
turned a true bill for a misdemeanour against John
Charretie, James Rallett, Ann Stewart, and Sir Wil-
liam Young, Bart., a director of the East India Com-
pany. The first three are indicted as principals, and
the latter as aiding and assisting, in the sale of a cadet-
ship in the East India Company's service, contrary to
the provisions of the 49th George 111., c. 126.—Atlas.
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.—LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY..
—The royal mail steamer Britannia, with the mails of
the 16th from Canada and the United States, may be
expected here about midnight. Four packet ships are
fully due from New York and Boston.
On Saturday the Right Rev. Dr. Short, who has been
translated to the bishopric of St. Asaph, appeared in the
dining-room of the college, and was sworn into the see
of St. Asaph.—Liverpool Chronicle.
Ma. ROWLAND HILL.—The public will learn with
satisfaction that Mr. Rowland Hill has been appointed
Secretary to the Postmaster-General, at a salary of
1,2001. a year. The appointment is a permanent one,
but Colonel Maberley still continues to be Secretary to
the Post-office. The office now filled by Mr. Rowland
Hill is a new one, and has been created, as we under-
stand, for the purpose of enabling him to carry into effect
the remaining portions of his plan of Post-office reform.
We have reason to believe that the Government has
acted spontaneously in this matter, the restoration of
Mr. Rowland Hill to office having been entirely un-
solicited on his part.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY.—An inquest was held at the New Inn, Rey-
don, on Friday, on the body of Elizabeth Coleman, aged
eleven years, who was killed upon the above line. The
deceased was, it appears, endeavouring to cross the line
at a point near the Roy don station where the Lock road
crosses the line on a level, when she was struck by the
buffer of a Cambridge train and killed upon the spot.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."
Some of the officers of the line, who were in attendance,
assured the Coroner that the gate at the Lock crossing
should be kept locked in future, or that a man should
be placed there to prevent persons from going on the line.
DEATH IN THE STREET.-011 Saturday afternoon,
a man about forty years of age, name unknown, and
rather meanly clad, was observed, whilst passing along
Blenheim-street, Bond-street, suddenly to fall on the
pavement. Several persons ran to his assistance, and he
was conveyed to a surgeon's in Bond-street, who pro-
nounced him dead. The body was removed to the
Mount-street workhouse, where it was searched ; but
beyond a rosary and crucifix, nothing was found that
wouldJead to identification.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—BRISTOL, Nov. 28.
There seems to be now no hope, from the intelligence
which reached this city last night, of the Great Britain
being got off from her present position on the sands in
Dundrum Bay. It was stated in the Commercial Rooms
that a letter from the engineer, whose plan for getting
her off had been approved, represents that the late gales
have so far strained and damaged her, that she will not
repay the cost which would necessarily be incurred in
the attempt.

THE WEATHER.—We have had a week of dull
November weather—frequent and heavy rains, thick
fogs, and sunless skies. Nobody stirs abroad who can
avoid it, and those whose occupations call them out of
doors cut sharp jokes a la Francais on the influences of
the season. All the rivers in the neighbourhood were
much swollen on Thursday, and the low lands in the
neighbourhood flooded.—Carlisle Journal.
Albert Smith dashes along in right masterly style
with " Christopher Tadpole," and seems to gather new
vigour as he advances towards the more complete deve-
lopment of the story. Though prone to deal in bur-
lesque, in which he peculiarly excels, he hits off with
truth and power the peculiarities and eccentricities of
character which one so often meets in ordinary life,
and afflicts on vulgar assumption the castigation which
it so well merits. His descriptive power is great, and a
quiet vein of humour runs through his most graphic
scenes, which adds not a little to their effect. The cha-
racter of Mrs. Gudge, the personification of vulgar
ostentation and insolence, is a perfect gem : as fine a
satire on a numerous class as we ever met with. How
rich the burlesque ; how admirable the point ; how keen
the irony. We might quote many passages to illustrate
the merits of this story, and justify the praise which we
have felt bound to bestow. Mr. Smith is running a race,
and a successful one, too, with Charles Dickens. His
aim is somewhat different, but his talent as a writer will
suffer little, if any thing, from a comparison with the
far-famed Boz. We rejoice to know that his work has
proved eminently successful, and can only trust that
such success may continue as great as its merit is
genuine.—Nottingham Review
SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—The submarine tele-
graph was laid across Portsmouth Harbour to-day (Sa-
turday), from the Watering Island in the Dockyard to
the steps at the Royal Clarence-yard. The former ex-
periments were repeated, and they fully confirmed the
fact, that one wire, as prepared by Messrs. West and
Taylor, is sufficient for electric telegraph purposes under
water. Several of the principal officers of the Dock..
yard, including the heads of the engineering department,
were present during the trials, which proved most satis-
factory. The experiments were conducted under the
sucpteorriy. otendence of Mr. Hay,—Hampshire Telegraph,
