SOUTHWARK.

A young girl named Dunn, of considerable personal at-
tractions, was brought before Mr. Trail, charted with wil-
fully breaking two panes of glass in the shop-window of a
tradesman in the vicinity of this court.
The complainant stated, that on the preceding night the
defendant approached his shop-window and deliberately
smashed two panes of glass with one of her hands, which was
very much cut, owing to the manner in which she did the
damage. That she made no attempt to avoid the responsi-
bility she incurred, but waited there until a policeman was
called, into whose custody she was given. The complainant
added that she was a perfect stranger to him, and that he
was totally ignorant as to the cause of her having acted in
the manner described, and that he had expressed to her his
willingness to permit her to go at large if she paid for the
two panes of glass, but she refused, declaring that she com-
mitted the damage in order to be sent to gaol.
Mr. num., addressing the defendant, asked her what
was her motive for breaking two parses of glass, and why
she was not contented with smashing one instead of two, if
her determination was to be sent to gaol ?
The defendant, who exhibited much obstinacy, and re-
fused to answer, at length explained that her :object in
breaking two panes of glass instead of one was, that if she
had only broken one she knew that her mother would pay
for it, and so have her released, but that the expense of
two she knew was more than her parent cod affrd to
pay, and that she (defendant) would thereforeul have to go
to gaol.
Mr. Mau: said that she would find a great difference in a
gaol to her own home. In the former she would be com-
pelled to associate with the worst of characters, and when
she came out, it would be an indelible stain upen her cha-
racter. The Magistrate then called forward the girl's mother,
who stood weeping in the Court. Mr. Traill, addressing the
poor woman, asked her if she could explain the reason her
daughter had conducted herself in the way described?—
The mother replied, that to prevent her daughter seeing a
man who was endeavouring by the most artful devices to
seduce her from the paths of virtue, she (the mother) deter-
mined to keep her at home, and for that purpose locked her
in her room. She found, however, that her daughter soon
got over the impediment by jumping out of the window into.
the street, and when she was followed for the purpose of
being brought back, " Rather than return," said she, "
commit an offence, and break some windows to be taken to
gaol." That she had no sooner uttered the words than she
smashed two panes of glass in the complainant's shop win-
dow. The mother added, that she was afraid her daughter
intended to lay violent hands upon herself if she was re-
strained from seeing the individual whom she (the mother)
was confident only sought her ruin.
Mr. TRAILL, having given the defendant a serious lecture
upon the folly of her conduct in not listening to the advice
and admonitions of a parent, was at length induced to dis-
charge her on her promise to be guided by her mother, and
not be led away and rained by a heartless sedacer. The
tradesman's glass being paid for, she was liberated.

SUSPICIOUS DISCOVERY ON
CHATHAM ISLAND.
A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign-
office, inclosing a copy of a dispatch received from her Ma-
jesty's Consul-General in Central America, dated
A Guatemala, Dec. 3, 1845.
My Lord,—The master of the Black Cat, of London, whe
has just arrived at Iztapa, has given me the following note
respecting the remains he found of the furniture of a vessel
on Chatham Island, situated near the equator, in longitude
about 87. Captain James Davies's account is as follows :
November 10, 1845.
Made the Gallapagos Islands. Being calm, I went on
shore on Chatham Island in search of water, but found none.
At eight A.M:, returned on board, and proceeded along shore
at the rate of 61,4 knots per hour, for the space of two and-a-
half hours, when the wind died away. A sudden calm abreast
of a deep bay. Lowered my boat, and went on shore myself,
and four hands under arms. On arriving at the bottom of
the bay, in pulling along the shore, my attention
was called to a number of water casks, twenty-five in all,
twenty yards above high-water mark. I then landed at the
spot, took out the bungs, and finding the greater number of
them full, rolled four of them down to the beach ; left them, as
it still continued calm ; proceeded a short way into the woods
with the boat's crew, when I discovered three poles sticking
into the ground, namely, two top-gallant and lower studding
sails booms belonging to some unknown vessel of about 180
or 200 tons, on which the American flag was flying all in
tatters ; beneath them a heap of cinders, where there had been
apparently a great fire, and the moat valuable of instruments
to mariners had been destroyed and melted, namely, brass
sextants, compasses, and log glasses, knives and forks with
•
out number totally burned and destroyed, with the exception
of one knife and fork of buckhorn handle, having the name
of " Rodgers ;" sailors knives, scissors, sewing needles, packing
ditto, fish-hoops, ramrods, gun and musket locks, a heap of but-
tons melted together_ Brought away five supposed to be Spanish
gold, date 1787, of the weight of two ounces.' Leaving the spot,
on running my sword into the sand it held fast. I picked up
a hoe near the same spot, and digging where I ran my sword
I discovered a cask of beef without pickle, in a putritied
state; tripe, Indian corn, meal, large white round peas, and a
can of castor oil ; a chest containing Carpenters' and coopers'
tools, some of them were bran new, having the name of
" Myers," cast steel ; blocks and tins, cooking utensils,
kettles, saucepans, two toilers, one of metal, the other of
copper, muskets without locks, a barrel of common gun
powder, 391bs. 9oz. ; clumps of guns, tompions ; alsofive pump-
kins, which were in perfect order, with the exception of one.
Proceeded to the boat, and rolled four casks into the water,
one of which, being very large, and the tide having fallen
about fourteen feet, struck on a rock and bilged there. I
suceeded in getting on board, niade sail, and proceeded on
my voyage. At 10 30 A.M. the following day Downes
Island, which is marked doubtful in the chart, bearing
distant five miles; latitude observed at noon 33 min.
15 sec. north, longitude 89 deg. 30 min. west. By
having the same inserted in the papers, it may be of ser-
vice to some nation or people, as I attribute the whole to some
piracy or mutiny, from the signs.
Your Lordship may perhaps think it desirable to make this
singular case known at Lloyd's, for general inforination.
At first I was inclined to suspect that this might be the
Toven Cecilia, Peruvian schooner, which disappeared fr 02.1
the coast of Peru in November, 1844, with a cargo of goods,
of the value of 20,000 dollars, belonging to Mr. William
Turner, a British subject, and which was traced to Realego
and Punta de Arenasin, the republic, where the Captain,
Santo Bustos, sold some of the cargo.
On the 13th of February last she called in at Acajuitha, and
was supposed to have proceeded thence to the cost of Mexico,
but the valuable nature of the objects, Captain Davis de-
scribes as having been so deliberately destroyed, and the fact
that a quantity of gold was foud melted with the rest of the
things, forbids that suppositionn, and leaves the cause of this
strange occurance beyond] eas
haonable conjection.

THE REEECCAITES IN THE GREAT DOVER-ROAD.—
Yesterday morning, and to some extent during the day, a good deal
of excitement was caused in that portion of the Great Dover-road
from St. George's. Church, in the Borough, to the turnpike near
Roll's floor-cloth manufactory, in consequence of the demolition of a
temporary bar placed opposite the Swan Inn, by some of the " Re_
becca" party in that neighbourhood. Since Saturday last posts have
been driven into the ground, and a bricklayer's pole attached to
them, at the corners of all the streets along that distance, in order
to exact a toll for vehicles passing through them into the Great
Dover-road. The persons, however, who are placed there to exact
these tolls, so far from using their " poll bars," which would not
reach hali-way across the streets, as a means to refuse the passing
of the vehicles, have had the ends iron-bound to the posts, so that
they are like a fence by the side of the footway. In the course of

Men are placed there who deminne the toll sans gate, and some pay

DEPRECiATION OF THEATRICAL PROPERTY.— On
Thursday Mr.G. Robins, the auctioneer,attended at the Auction Mart,
to sell by auction several renters shares in the Theatre Royal Drury-
lane, there being present several gentlemen connected with the thea-
trical world. In the particulars of sale it was stated, that originally
a share was entitled to 2s. 6d. a night, but that the sum has been
lowered to Is. 3d. per night. The auctioneer, however stated, that
a renter of such a share now only received 41. per annum, though he
had no doubt that next year, in consequence of the able management
of Mr. Bunn it would have an increase of value. For many years
he received 251. for his share per annum. There were four shares,
with a free admission to each, which was said to be worth 31. 105.
Two were sold for 61 guineas each ; another for 60 guineas ; and the
fourth for 59 guineas.
ROBBERY BY A CARRIER.—At Marylebone Police
court, on Thursday, a man, named Fidler, in the employ of Messrs.
Ford and Co., carriers, was committed for trial, charged with
having stolen a crate and a deal box from the Paddington terminus
of the Great Western Railway. The evidence of the case went to
show that the prisoner, after loading his waggon with goods regularly
booked to him, took up the articles in question and was going off
with them whoa he was CllitOd,T4
