WORSHIP-STREET.

Henry and Elizabeth Gobey were charged with having
in their possession a variety of articles, the alleged pro-
perty of Mr. Atkinson Morley, proprietor of the hotel
bearing his name in Old Burlington-street, Bond-street.
Police-sergeant Price said that in consequence of
information he had received, he proceeded to Mr. Morley,
who accompanied him to the prisoners' lodgings in
George-street, Shoreditch. They were both at home.
On a table in their room were perceived three decanters
and soma wine•glasses, which Mr. Morley identified at
once as his property. The female prisoner said that one
of the decanters she had found in a dust-hole at Mr.
Morley's, whilst she was a servant at the hotel; that the
others were his (Mr. Morley's) property, as well as the
glasses, but that she did not take them. During this
search, the male prisoner kicked against one of the de-
canters, which was lying upon the floor under the bed,
and broke it. Witness then sent for another constable,
and the male prisoner was conveyed to the station-house.
Witness continued his search, and in a box found some
linen articles, bed-furniture, carpeting. and a hearth-
rug, &c. &c.; some of these the female prisoner said she
had found, and others she had purchased whilst in Mr.
Morley's employ.
The articles were now produced, and Mr. Morley
identified some of them. The female prisoner was house
or chambermaid in his employment about a year and a
half ago. He did not believe that the male prisoner had
any knowledge of the robbery.
Mr. COO MBE said he should admit the male prisoner
to bail in two sureties of 20/. each, for his appearance on
Saturday, but that the wife should be remanded until
that day.

RUPTCY, Nov. 21.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Buncs.)
IN RE EARL IsIEXBOROUGH.

this Court against John Savile, Earl Mexborough, of

broker, jobber, dealer and chapman.

mingham, and the petitioning creditor a Mr. Joseph
Joel, of London, a JQw money-lender.

Honour, on an application to open the fiat, when several
witnesses, chiefly from London (including the Honour-
able Frederick Savile), who had been summoncd, were
in attendance.

Mr. Dyson, of Halifax, and Mr. Courtenay, of Leeds,
attended on behalf of Lord Mexborough.
One of the witnesses was to produce a deed by which
the solicitor to the fiat intended to prove an act of bank-
ruptcy, but being unable to prove the trading of the
alleged bankrupt, his Honour refused to order the pro-

settled.inamely, whether the party was a trader. It was
stated that Mr. T. M. Lee, of Leeds, solicitor, was in a
condition to prove the trading, but , his attendance was
required in London under subpoena from the superior
courts, and he would not be able to 'ilia to Leeds be-
fore Saturday night.
Under the cirettmstances, Mr. SMITH applied for an
adjournment'untirMonday.

ditor proved. his debt for 2501. on a bill drawn at four
months.

His Horroun gave liberty to Mr. Courtenay to appear
for Lord Mexborough during the future proceedings re-
specting the fiat.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—BRISTOL, Nov. 2S.—
There seems to be now no hope, from the intelligence
which reached this city last night, of the Great Britain
being got off from her present position on the sands in
Dundrum Bay. It was stated in the Commercial Rooms
that a letter from the enineer, whose plan for getting
her off had been approved, represents that the late gales
have so far strained and damaged her, that she will not
repay the cost which would necessarily be incurred in

the . attempt.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The open-
ing of this railway has been delayed in consequence of
unforeseen circumstances. It will probably be inspected
in the course of eight or ten days, and will immediately
afterwards be publicly opened. The general feeling is
in favour of a holiday upon the occasion, in order to
celebrate the important event with all due ceremony and
rejoicing, and to accomplish this, we hope the directors
will give sufficient notice of the time to enable trades-
men to make the necessary arrangements.—Carlisle
Journal.
THREE MEN BURIED ALIVE.—On Friday, the
13th inst., at Sewell, in the parish of lloughton Regis,
three labourers employed in moving earth for the new
branch railway from the London and North-Western line i
to Dunstable, were buried alive by the falling in of a
considerable body of earth. Their fellow-labourers,
however, succeeded in digging them out in about ten
minutes, unhurt, with the exception of some bruises.—
