i DEATH OF THE REV. SPENCER LORD RODNEY:"
This reverend nobleman, whose death took place on Friday evening,
at the age of 61, was the third son of the second baron. He was
born In 1785, and succeeded his brother, the fourth lord, in 1843.
being previously a Fellow of All Souls' College, Cambridge. The first
peer, it is almost unnecessary to say, was the celebrated admiral who
defeated the French naval commander, Comte de Grasse, at the
splendid sea fight of 1783, and who in reward for his services was
raised from the position of a very humble member of society to that
of a British peer. He received as well a pension of 1,2001. Per
annum, which reverted to his successors. The deceased is succeeded
in the title and estates by his nephew, Robert Denham Rodney, second
son of the Hon. Captain Rodney, R.N. He was born in 1820, and
was formerly connected with thc Scots Fusileer Guards.
ENDEMIC DISEASES IN EGYPT.—In a recent and very
curious report to the Egyptian Government on the endemic diseases
of that country, by Dr. Peron, Director of the Military Hospital of
Cairo, it is stated with regard to ophthalmia, that plague of Egypt,
that of twenty inhabitants, five only have sound eyes—of the fifteen
others, one is blind, four are half blind, and ten are affected with
chronic or acute ophthalmia. The prevalence of this disease is less
owing to the nature of the country, than to the total want of pre-
caution on the part of the inhabitants to guard their eyes against the
glare of the sun and the sand of the desert, as also to their complete
ignorance of even the most simple principles of health.

ing that he went up stairs he entered the passage, where
, he discovered a sack of boots and shoes, together with a
bundle containing property of the same description. On
the left hand side of the passage the door of the shoe-shop
was open, and, having sprung leis rattle, be was ioined by
other constables, who went up stairs with him, whore they
found the prisoner concealed on the landing at the top of
the house. There was a large screw-driver in the bag with
the boots, which being compared with the marks on, the
shop door, showed that great violence bad been used in
forcing it open.
The prosecutor said that, on leaving his shop in the even-
ing, the articles produced were perfectly sate, and each of
them bore his private mark. He never saw the prisoner
before, and as his entire stock had been swept away, be
hoped there would be no objection to allow him a portion of
it to place in his window.
The Magistrate granted his request, and the prisoner,
who made no defence, was ordered to be remanded for a
week.
STEALING Firm/ ma NO THEFT.—An Irishwoman whose name we
did not hear, was charged with stealing a lock, the property of John
Murphy.
The complainant said the prisoner lodged in his house, and owed
him some money for rent. On Sunday night she took the method of
paying the arrear commonly described as " shooting the moon." In
the complainant's own words " She went away, sir, and took her
things, and took the lock off the door."
Mr. HENRY—And what do you charge her with—stealing her
own things? Complainant—Stealing the lock, sir.
Mr. HENRY—The lock is a fixture ? Complainant—Yes, sir.
Mr. HENRY—Then it is not a felony, it is a trespass
The complainant was about.to enter into a charge of assault, but
the Magistrate would not allow that to be made a part of this case
as the prisoner was not charged with assault, bat with felony.
The prisoner was discharged, Mr. HENRY observing that the com-
plainant ought not to have given her In custody ore such a charge, as
the only remedy was by civil law.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A DARING FEMALE BURGLAR.—Elizabeth Brown, a female et
shabby appearance, about 25 or 30 years of age, was charged with
burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Henry Francis, of
No. 5, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, tailor, with intent to steal,
&c. It appeared that between 10 and 11 o'clock on Monday the
prosecutor had occasion to enter the back room on the first floor,
which he had left securely locked but a short time previously. Find-
ing the door was unfastened, he rushed into the apartment, and dis-
covered the prisoner secreted behind the door. She instantly passed
him, and running up stairs to the second ficor landing-place, threw
up the window, and dropped a large bundle of skeleton and other
keys into the street. She was then secured and given in charge to
the police. A key, which opened the door of the room, was found
thrown into 'a coal-scuttle by the fireside. The drawers, tea-caddies,
Ste., were found to have been completely rummaged, and propertY.
consisting of plate, wearing apparel, Bsc., placed.in readiness for
removal.
Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner what she had to say in answer to
the charge against her ?—The prisoner said she was drunk, and
knew nothing about it.
Mr. MALTBY asked if she was known ?—Sergeant Tice, No. 5, of
the C division, said she.had been convicted at the Central Criminal
Court of a burglary, committed under similar circumstances, and
sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, which
she underwent, and had only been a very short time discharged.- Sho
had also been identified as being inculpated in a robbery committed
on Saturday night last in the neighbourhood.
Thomas Mauld, police-constable, No. 123, of the C division, said
if the prisoner was remanded he had no doubt he should be able to
trace to her possession the produce of several robberies she had been
engaged in.
Mr. MALTBY ordered her to be remanded until this day week:
MARYLEBONE.
A " GENr."—A respectable-looking man named James
Dickenson, was charged by Brooks, 169 S, who said—" Please
your worship, at two o'clock yesterday morning I found this
gent' drunk, in Park-road, and took him into custody."
Mr. Itiwuxsorr—Who do you say you found drunk ?
Constable—This " gent," your worship.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What do you mean by " gent ;" there
is no such word in our language. I hold a man who is called
a "gent " to be the greatest blackguard there is ?
(To the prisoner)—What do you say—l hope you are not
a " gent?"
Prisoner—l am not, sir, and I think that I know the dis-
tinction between a " gent " and a " gentleman."
Mr. RAwurisox—l dare say you do, sir, and I look Upon
the word " gent " as one of the most blackguard expressiou'll
that can be used. The prisoner was fined 55., which he
directly paid.

A THIEF SEIZED BY
.4 LADY.--George Norman, a well
dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged
with stealing a purse, containing a quantity of silver,
amongst which were several foreign coins, from the person of
a young lady named Webb, residing at Walworth.
The complainant stated that on Saturday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, as she was walking along the
London-road, feeling a slight touch at her side, sbe turned
round and seized the. prisoner's hand in her pocket, but
before she had time he got her purse out, and she had every
reason to believe passed it to an associate, who was with hint
at the time. She, however, seized the prisoner, and in hold-
ing him until a policeman came up, tore his coat all the way
up the back, and she succeeded in securing him until she at
length gave him into custody, notwithstanding the vigorous
efforts he made to disengage himself from her grasp ; she
added, that she did not recover her purse again.
The prisoner declared that Miss Webb had mistaken him
for another man.
