CLERKEN WILL.-(THIS DAY.)

Btnry Gray, described as a law-writer, was placed at
the bar, on the charge of bresking into the house No.
25, Rawstone street, under the following circumstances :

Mr. Thomas Glover stated that he was one of the trus-
tees of the late Mr. kinner, who held the above pre-
mises under the Brewers' Company, and a long litigation
had ensued between them and the prisoner and other
members of his family. Owing to the circumstance of
the house in question having been, contrary to
the terms of contract, converted into a beer-shop,
to the detriment of the adjacent property, and the
result was that he (Mr. Glover) received possession
under the sheriff on the 11th inst. This morning, at
three o'clock, the prisoner broke open the door with a
hammer, for the purpose of re-enterir.g the premises,
when he was taken into custody by a policeman. Mr.
Glover now applied that the prisoner should be required
to find good bail to keep the peace to all her Majesty's
subjects as according to the present state of the case
many other parties beside himself might be subject to his
violence.
Mr. COOMBE acceded to the application, and the pri-
soner was locked up in default of bail.
A coal-porter, named Henry White, was charged with
stealing a quantity of leaden pipes, the property of :►lr.
J. Morgan, builder, of Islington-green. He was stopped
with the proper y in his possession.
The cise was remanded to Wednesday, as the police
thought they should be able to establish other charges
against the prisoner.

LYCEUM THEATRE.—The prosperous season which
this theatre has enjoyed was brought to a close on
Wednesday night. The performances comprised To
Parents and Guardians, Mrs. Harris, and the Magic
limn, presenting no novelty beyond the transfer or a
" tag," or finale, with which the burlesque conc!udes,
from the good fairy to Mr. Keeley, who, not without
emotion, briefly expressed his and the company's grati-
tude for the patronage they have received, and pro-
mised they would do their best, en re-assembling, to-
wards the promotion of "a merry Christmas." The
Keeleys have produced, since the 20th of last December,
when they opened with the original dramatic version of
the Cricket on the Hearth, four burlesques, crammed with
whimsicalities, and splendidly put upon the stage, and
eight new farces, all more or less successful, from
woich we may select the Marble Maiden, and Mr.
Wigan's Loan of a Wife, as excellent specimens of their
class. In comedy of larger pretension, they have pro-
duced, exclusive of a judicious revival of Jerrold's IVeil
Gwyne, three dramas of considerable merit, one of
which, To Parents and Guardians, ran fifty-one ccnse-
cutive nights. The season, therefore, has been prolific
of attractions, and we are pleased to find that the public
patronage has been so well bestowed. •

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN—TERMINUS.•.—HUN-
GERFORD-BRIDGE.—The desirableness of getting the
extension of the London and South-Western Company's
line to Hungerford• bridge carried out with the greatest
practicable expedition is said to have been one of the
leading topics under consideration at the recent meet-
ings of the directors, and, from the arrangements
whieh are making, and the facility with which they are
obtaining ground in cases where they anticipated
vexatious obstructions and delays, they are now con-
fident they will be able to take up and put down pas-
sengers at Hungerford-bridge by June or July, 1848;
that is, in little more than a year and a-half from this
date; and it is calculated that in another year and a-half
they will be able to complete their further extension to
London-bridge.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. THOMAS DALE.—
Yesterday evening, at a numerous and highly-respect-
able meeting of the pari:hioners of St. Bride, Fleet-
street, held for the purpose, the following resolution
was unanimously agreed to :—" That the Rev. Thomas
Dale, M.A., late vicar of the parish, having been ap-
pointed to the vicarage of St. Pancras, this vestry cannot
allow him to leave them without recording their great
regard for him individually, and their acknowledgment
of his invaluable services during a period of twenty
years, in promoting the welfare and harmony of the
parish, in administering to the necessities of the poor,
in increasing the funds of the charities, and the efficiency
of the parochial schools ; and, above all, in his very
able, faithful, and affectionate attention to the spiritual
wants of the parishioners. They desire also to express
their deep regret at losing him, and their hope that he
may be equally liked in his new parish."
ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE
FROM FlRE.—Yesterday morning a public exhibition of
the use of the society's new machines for the preserva-
tion of life from fire took place in Queen's-square,
Bloomsbury, and excited great attention. The machines
are a great improvement on those hitherto used, being
calculated to receive several persons at the same time.
Two new stations are fixed, one at Knightsbridge-green,
Brompton, and the other in the West Strand, near St.
Martin's Church. The society have now twenty-two
stations, extending over more than one-third of the
metropolis.

ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—On Thursday, about
noon, Mrs. Matthews, residing in Alexander-square,
Brompton, was proceeding to town, and in Piccadilly
made way for a " gentleman," who seated himself by her
side. On arriving at her destination, her purse, contain-
ing 121. in gold, and some silver, was found to have been
abstracted from her pocket. The suspected party having
a short time previously alighted from the Dmnibus, there
was, of course, no clue to the lady's property.
ILLNESS 01 THE POET MOORE.—A private letter
says--" I lament to have to tell you of the rapidly declin-
ing health of. Ireland's most honoured poet. The sun of
life is fast setting, and it is feared that his dissolution
is near at hapcl. —Ballinaske Star.
