BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)

Cliurks Wood, a young man who lives by going
round to public-houses and practising tricks of con-
juring and legerdemain, was charged before Mr. Ilall
with being concealed in the house of Mr. Richard Emery,
of Chandos-street, for an unlawful purpose.
The prosecutor stated that at a late hour on Saturday
night last he discovered the prisoner in the further end of
the hall of his house. He gave him into custody.
Mr. HALL recognised the prisoner as having been
committed from this Court about ten months ago for a
felony, for which he ,was tried at the Old Bailey, and
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment.
The fact is, the prisoner has been but three weeks out
of prison. He was now again committed for one calendar
month upon the present charge.

MARLBRO'-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Robert llPKechnie, a decently dressed individual, was
placed- at the bar charged with interrupting Divine ser-
vice in Percy chapeL
Charles Mason, the verger of the chapel, said the de-
fendant was on the staircase of the chapel last night be-
tween six and seven o'clock, drunk, swinging himself to
and fro by the hand-rails, and singing. He put him out
and urged him to go home. Five minutes after that he
was sent for to take the defendant out of the north aisle
along which he had walked, talking aloud while prayers
were being read, disturbing and disgusting all about him.
The defendant—The case is bad enough, don't make
it worse.

The complainant said he turned him out again, and
bade him go home, but in less than ten minutes after,
the defendant had walked down the south aisle, taken a
seat, and again commenced talking during the time of
prayers. When the complainant went down to remove
him, he refused to rise, and could only be got out by
sheer force.
The defendant said he was sorry for what had
occurred. It was no disposition of his to annoy persons
in a place of worship.
Mr. HARDWICK said it was disgraceful that people
should not only be int, rrupted, but subjected to the in-
decency and scandal of a person in a state of intoxica-
tion, walking into and desecrating the place of worship
by his presence. He ordered the defendant to enter into
his own recognizance in 20/., and find two sureties of
10/. each for his good behaviour for one month.

-r-ACCIDENT AT THE BLACKWALL TERMINUS.—A
serious accident took place at the Blackway Railway
works on Saturday, to a man named Edward Flemming,
aged 31 years, residing in Lant-street, Southwark. He
was employed in the engineer's factory as a labourer,
when he by some means fell with a heavy load of iron,
receiving a fracture of the leg apd severe contusions. He
was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he is going
on favourably.
IMMENSE SALE OF THE BInLE.—At the annual
meeting of the Manchester Auxiliary of the British and
Foreign Bible Society on Tuesday, the report which was
read stated, that previous to the present year the num-
ber of copies of the Bible distributed in that district an-
nually amounted to from 5,000 to 10,000, whilst this
year no less a number than 96,000 have been disposed of,
being equal to the number disposed of in the previous
12 years.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—On Friday night, at a
late hour, an inquest was' held at the Blin?, Pig, St. Mary
Axe, before Mr. Payne, for the purpose of inquiringinto
the circumstances connected with the death of a young
female, aged 16, named Mary Green, who committed
suicide. Thy- evidence taken proved that deceased had
been living in the service of a gentleman named Wil-
kinson, at No. 7, Jeffrey-square. On Friday morning, at
a quarter-past ten, she was found in the front kitchen
of ner-raaster's house, hanging by the neck to the water
pipe that crosses the ceiling, life being quite extinct. It
appeared the deceased had formed an attachment to a
married man, and that she was influenced to commit the
sad act by ascertaining that he was so situated. The
jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity.
FALLING OF A WALL.—On Saturday afternoon a
fearful accident happened at the Carlton Club House, in
Pall-mall. A piece of ground by the side of-the build-
ing is to be built on to extend the mansion, and in dig-
ging out some of the earth a wall gave way and buried a
man of the name of Cullen underneath. As soon as he
could be extricated, it was found he was suffering from
some serious injury, and on being carried to the West-
minster Hospital one of his thighs was pronounced to be
extensively fractured.
EXTRAORDINARY COLLISION IN LEITH ROADS.—
The French frigate La Pi evoyante,and the French gun-
brig La Chevrotte, sailed on Tuesday morning from
their anchorage in Leith-roads. While proceeding on
different tacks they fell foul of each other, when the
frigate sank the lighter vessel in 25 fathoms water. The
unfortunate collision took place at the entrance of Dun-
bar harbour. We understand that four lives were lost,
the rest of the crew of the corvette being picked up by
the boats of the frigate.—Ediriburgh Chronicle.
On Saturday morning, about half-past seven
o'clock, the body of a man was observed to float through
Putney-bridge, towards Wandsworth, and was picked
up by a Fulham waterman, named John Kelley. The
deceased had attempted to cross the bridge not an hour
before his body was found in the river, but, having no
money to pay the toll, was turned back. It would
appear that he then went to the Bishop of London's
meadows, and deliberately walked into the river, as the
tide was then at a very low ebb. The deceased ap-
pears to be about 55 years of age, is bald-headed, and
five feet four inches in height; he has a sallow com-
plexion. The dress consisted of a brown over-coat
with fur collar, black body coat, red and black waist-
coat, and black and brown ribbed trousers. There were
found in his pockets a small quantity of bread and
cheese, sonic memorandum-books, some sample locks,
and sc,;eral ironmonger's price cards. From a letter
found upon him it has been since ascertained that he
has a wile and &aught, r in Wolvdrliarnpton, that he
was travellinn- for an ironmonger of that town, and
had become distressed in consi queue of the slitckness
of business.
