LAMBETH.

William Rateliff, au auctioneer, carrying on business
in the New Cut, Lambeth, and Richard Miller, a youth
of 19, who has been in his emplcyment, were brought
up for final examination, on a charge of stealing two
decanters, of the value of six shillings, the property of
Mr. Wolf, a glass and chinaman in the London-road.
The brief facts of the case are these :—Ratcliff had
been engaged by Mr. Wolf to sell off by auction the
whole of the stock in his shop, and on the 23d of last
month he and his man called at the prosecutor's shop to
make preparations for the sale. They were left alone
in the shop for a few minutes, and during this time Rat-
cliff told the other prisoner to take the pair of decanters
off the shelf and carry them to his house. He did so,
and almost immediately after Mr. Wolf missed the pro-
perty. Having some suspicions, from seeing the de-,
canters with one other, which was left on the shelf a few
moments before, Mr. Wolf proceeded to the shop of Rat-
cliff, and there found the missing decanters. Ratcliff
admitted they belonged to Mr. Wolf, but said they had
been taken away merely to show Mr. Wolf how easily
he could be robbed, and added that, before the arrival of
Mr. Wolf, at his house, he Lila told the other prisoner to
take the property back to Mi. Wolf, and tell, him how
easily he could be robbed. The prisoner Miller denied
this i on the contrary, he declared he was ordered by
his master, in the first instance,,tOtake the decanters, and
it was not until after the property had been found that
he heard Mr. Ratcliff say anything about returning.
An attorney's clerk said he should not disguise the fact
that the defence which was intended to be set up was that
the taking away of the decanters from the shop of the.
prosecutor was the sole act of Miller ; and that when
Ratcliff found them at his house he directed Miller at
once to take them back.

Mr. NORTON observed that this was the very worst
part of the case, as there could not be a shadow of doubt
upon the mind of any person who heard the evidence,
and the statement of the youth Miller, that he had been
made the instrument of his master in the commission of
the felony ; and the attempt, therefore, to shift the guilt
from the shoulders of him who was the most guilty, to
another who was the mere instrument, and actually
coerced into the offence, was, to say the least of it, not
manly or creditable. His (Mr. Norton's) opinion was
that the youth Miller had been actually forced into the
commission of the offence by his master, Ratcliff ; and he
should therefore direct his statement to be taken down,
and should forward it with the depositions to the Central
Criminal Court.

The statement of Miller was then taken down in
writing, and it is very probable, as the magistrate ob-
served, that he will be admitted as a witness against Rat-
cliff at the sessions.

The attorney's clerk applied that Ratcliff might be ad-
mitted to bail, saying that sureties to any amount would
be put in.
Mr. NORTON refused to accept bail, observing, that it
was his opinion that his doing so would impede the ends
of justice. He, however, accepted bail for the youth
Miller

THE HISTORY OF MARY ANNE WELLINGTON, THE
SOLDIER'S DAUGHTER, WIFE, AND WIDOW, by the Rev.
R. Cobbold, author of The History of Margaret
Catchpole," is just published, and at a time when so
much attention has been directed to the soldier's con-
dition, nothing can be more seasonable than the ap-
pearance of such a work, which affords, from the best
authority, the fullest information respecting his career,
from his enlistment to his discharge. Besides posses-
sing the advantage of being a faithful narrative of
events taken from the lips of the individual whose
stirring adventures it records, and who still survives, the
story of Mary Anne Wellington will be found to be one
of such sterling interest as must make her claims as a
heroine far superior to those of any imaginary one.
We may, therefore, confidently predict for the book a
popularity as extensive as that of " Margaret Catch-
pole." The work is dedicated, by express permission, to
her Majesty the Queen Dowager,;- who (as well as the
Duke of Wellington), has been, -we understand, a most
generous benefactor to the heroine.
WENT OFF HALF-SHAVED.--AD amusing incident
occurred in one of the barber's saloons yesterday. A
foreigner had been in the occasional habit of calling to
get shaved, though at distant intervals of time, but often
enough to make himself known and appreciated. It
seems that he always made as an excuse for not paying,
that his money was at the railroad, when he would step
out with the pretence of going after it, but did not make his appearance until six weeks or two months after,
when he came back an entire stranger, with a heavy
black beard, in order to be shaved. Yesterday, being
duly enconsed in the high-back chair and well lathered,
the barber-wag proceeded to the operation, and having
shaved just one-half his face, chin, &c., thus addressed
him :—" Stranger, have you
this morning ?" money to spare
Some got any
what surprised, the stranger re-
plied, " I have three cents., but I am going up to the
railroad, and I will hand you the balance directly." The
barber coolly wiped off the soap, and replied, " Please to
go now, and I will shave the other three cents. worth
when you return." With a shower of oaths, breathing
vengeance and the law, the stranger "sloped," present-
ing a grotesque appearance, one side of his face kettle
black and the other white. He has not made his appear-
ance since. —Springfield Gazette.
The merchants and manufacturers of Blackburn
engaged in the India trade met together last week to
consider the effect of the East India Company's salt mo-
nopoly on British interests. Mr. D. G. Aylwin, of the
house of Aylwin and Co., of Calcutta (author of a
pamphlet on the Indian salt monopoly), and Mr. Stoc-
queler, honorary secretary of the salt trade in this
country, attended, and made some instructive state-
ments on the subject in hand. Resolutions were passed,
condemning the monopoly, and pledging the meeting to
efforts for its removal.—Leeds Mercury.
Mr. Wilson, late chairman of the National Anti-
Corn-law League, arrived at Brussels a few days ago,
and almost immediately received a visit from M. Arriva-
bane, one of the vice-presidents of the Belgian Free-
Trade Association (l'Association Beige pour la Liberia
Commerciale). Mr. Wilson also had interviews with
several members of the committee, and communicated
some valuable suggestions relative to the conduct of the
association.
