THAMES.

Edward Lock, alias Lauglitan, alias Locfslcg, who
stands charged with stealing 95L from a cash-bolc on the
premises of Messrs. Thoznas Martin and Co., linen-
drapers in the Whitechapel-road, was again brought up
on remand before Mr. Yardley.
The robbery was committed, on the night of the 27th
ult., when a cash-box was taken out of a desk in the
counting house, the bottom of which was cut away. The
box was afterwards found in a waterhutt on the premise:.
The papers and securities it contained were undisturbed,
but the money was all gone. The thief who committed
the robbery must have concealed himself in the cellars
till the inmates retired to rest, and then obtained admis-
sion to the counting-house by cutting out a pane of glass.
After the robbery was effected the shop door and street
door were broken open, and the thief escaped in that
direction. The evidence against the prisoner, who was
formerly in the employ of the prosecutors, was entirely
of a circumstantial description.
fir the prosecution, asked for another re-
mand,lir aPnedlislaainid the police had obtained a clue which might
lead to important disclosures.
Mr. Vesey, for the prisoner, opposed this proposal.
Mr. YARDLEY said there was a case of strong suspicion
against the prisoner, and he was very reluctant to let
him go at large. lie could not, however, continually go
on remanding the prisoner without evidence. He finally
consented to accept of bail for the prisoner, himself in
501. and one surety in the same amount, for his appear-
ance on Monday next.

VORACITY or THE COD —A. very plentiful and
seasonable supply of fish reached Swansea on Friday
an Saturday last ; indeed, taking into consideration
the present high price of' provisions of all kinds, it may
be consi 'ered a very seasonable relief to the poor. As
a proof of the extraordinary low price of this valuable
commodity, we can state that an individual purchased a
cod fish, weighing between eight and nine pounds, on
Saturday for 40., and on its being opened for the pur-
pose of cleansing its inside, there were. found twenty-
two herrings therein, some of them remarkably large,
and exhibiting signs of animation.—Cambrian.
The indictment found at the last-assion of the
Central Criminal Court against several individuals for
having illegally trafficked in the sale of cadetships, has
been removed by certiorari from that court to the Court
of, Queen's Bench.
'INCREASE OF FEVER.—We understand that this
fearful malady is greatly on the increase in Glasgow and
suburbs, so much so, that at the Police Board the Lord
Provost has been waited non by a deputation from the
Fever Hospital, with the view of having additional ac-
commodation afforded for patients, the state of the
hospital being such that the very floors of the institution
are fully occupied. His Lordship brought the matter
before the Police Board on Monday, when it was re-
mitted to the committee.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.

Messrs. Travers andethe
close of last year this firm imported a considerable
quantity of French plums in the ornamented paper
boxes made purposely for that description of fruit, part
of which were allowed to pass at the Custom-house in
the usual manner, while 45 cases were stopped for duty
upon the- boxes. The article being a perishable one,
Messrs. Travers lost no time in memorializing the
Commissioners of Customs, which memorial, after two
subsequent applications and a delay of a fortnight, was
at length attended to, and the goods were ordered to be
released. This delay, however, involved a loss of 9( 1.
(the fruit having been sold immediately on its ar-
rival to buyers, who afterwards cancelled their
bargains), and a claim for compensation was ac-
cordingly preferred. This claim was met by a
direct refusal, and an appeal to the Commissioners of
the Treasury produced a similar result. Compelled thus
to put up with a loss arising from en avowed error on
the part of the Custom-house, the sufferers, with a view
to prt tact themselves and the trade for the future, peti-
tioned that some definite order might be made, by which
they might be guided in their operations, and which
would prevent a repetition of such occurrences. To this
petition no answer was returned, and it is now alleged
French fruit
by Messrs. Travers that some packages of .
have this year again Essen stopped under precisely similar
circumstances. In the absence of explanations, the
statement places the conduct of the Commissioners in a
very unfavourable light ; but, discreditable as it is,
there is reason to fear that many analogous instances
daily occur in the various minor departments of public
business, which, in like manner, are carried off with
high-handsd indifference, Ili the belief that the details
are too insignificant for the sufferers to succeed in bring
ing them into notice.— Times.
