ZION'"-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Odell was charged with being concerned, with Others
n•Jt in custody, in sealing a purse from William Taylor, a
painter and glazier.
The prosecutor stated that shortly before two o'clock, on
Sunday morning, he was standing in Great Wild-street,
Drury-lane, with a friend, when the prisoner, and ten or a
dozen other persons, who were passing along the street, sur-
rounded him. One of them caught hold of his arms, to
prevent him from resisting, while the others occupied them-
selves ill searching his pockets. The prisoner took the purse
from his pocket and handed it to one ef his companions, who
immediately made oil' with it. The prisoner disappeared in
some of the alleys leading out of Wild. street. Witness went
direct to the station-house, and there he found the prisoner
in the hands of the police.
A. policeman in private clothes said that he, together with
another constable was in Wild-street at the time, and saw
the attack on the prosecutor, but, on account of the great
disparity of numbers, they deemed it most prudent to look on
at a distance. They saw the prisoner and his companions
going into some of the narrow lanes in that neighbourhood,
but the prisoner returned in a few minutes, and they, after a
long chase, took him into custody and brought him to the
station-house where they met the prosecntor, who immedi.
ately identified him. He was well known to the police.
The prisoner denied his identity.
Mr. JARDINE, at the request of an attorney who attended
for the prosecution, remanded the prisoner till Thursday.

MA.RLBRO-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Ann Shearman, a fashionably-dressed, good-look-
ing female, about 18 or 20 years of age, described on the po-
lice charge-sheet as residing at No. 46, North•street, Sloane-
street, Chelsea, was charged with the following daring
robbery :
James Brown, police-constable, No. 142 of the F division,
stated that between four and. five o'clock on Saturday after-
noon last., he was with police-constable Jesse Jeupes, No. 146
of the C division, on duty in plain clothes in Regent-street,
and saw the prisoner looking at some shawls in the doorway
of the shop of Mr. Chat les Nicholls, No. 72, shawl-dealer and
ri:r.ier. A cluster of boas were beside the shawls. The
prisoner .i,,s2k hold of one of them, as if to look at it, and then
giving it a pull, crew it from the other, and one end fell on
the ground, she keep:::“7. hold of the other, and drawing the

Wit-
ness was running across th::
the bj.i On the pavement, about
sight of him, and, leaving
-
two feet from the shop-door, set off I.:lnning along Air street.
She was instantly pursued, but, owing-• the extreme fleet-
ness with which she ran, she was not not ped until she
had reached a considerable distance.
The prisoner said that she certainly had been at
the shawl and some boas hanging at Mr. Nicholl's shop-do.sr:
but that she was not aware of one of the latter having fallen
at her feet.
The prisoner was committed to take I:er trial.
The constables have ascertained that the address she gave
is correct. She. has resided there for nine months. but how
she obtained her living is not known.

The bankruptcy of the influential house of Emanuel
Brothers, of Hanover square, which recently created such
general surprise in the gold and silver trade and threatened
so much calamitous distress to many of its members, is, it is
confidently reported, likely to disappoint that anticipation.
Mr. Joel Emanuel, the father 6f the bankrupts, whose reputa-
tion for wealth is akin to that fur his benevolence, has, we
ate inforined, most handsomely intimated his intention of
giving a sum that will prevent the ruin that must have
attended the majority of the creditors, who are working
men, in the absence of such well-timed kindness.
MUNIFICENT DONATION OF MISS BURDETT COUTTS.
—We have been given to understand that Miss Burdett
Coutts recently forwarded to the Bishop of London a blank
cheque with her signature attached, for his Lordship to fill
up with such an amount R 3 would include the entire cost of
bui,ding a church—endowing it with SOW. per annum, and
for the building of a parsonage- house and schools. It is said
that the draft has been honoured to the amount of 30,0001.
for these objects. The church, we are informed, is to be
built in the city of Westminste.r, in compliment to the muni-
ficent donor, who possesses considerable property there. This
splendid donation will prove a noble and lastinti monument
of the Christian virtues of this truly bountiful larly.—
