ALLEGED FELONY.—James Scudder, a sawyer, and
G. Furnam, a dissolute fellow, having no fixed place cf
abode, were charged with stealing a clock, the property
of Richard Thomas, a coachman, residing at Sydeuham,
and 'r the following circumstances :
Mr. Thomas deposed that himself and wife were sitting
by the parlour fire, about half past eight o'clock the pre-
ceding evening, when he heard the street-door forced
open, and immediately afterwards the prisoners came
into the parlour and walked round the table, Scudder
lighting his pipe at the candle. They then left the house,
and immediately after they were gone, a boy came and
told him that a man had run off with his clock, which
was kept in the passage.
John Hopkins stated that he was standing near the
house when he he saw the pris.mar Furnam come out
with the clock under his arm, and make off as fast as he
was able, and because witness noticed him, he used very
abusive and threatening language. The other prisoner
was standing at the door, but left immediately after-
wards, going the contrary way.
C. Lever, police-constable, 72 R, deposed that he ap-
prehended the prisoners, both of whom denied taking
the clock away. The clock was subsequently found
secreted in the out premises of the Woodman beer-shop,
which is kept by the father of the prisoner Scudder.
.1. Jenkinron, 10 R, deposed that he found the clock.
The pendulum and weights were found in the road, but
the bell of the clock was lost.

Scudder denied being concerned in the clock robbery,
or that he knew it had been removed off the premises.
He had certainly gone in and lit his pipe, and that was
his only offence.
Mr. Thomas said he did not believe Scudder would
rob him; he had an opinion that Scudder would do no-
thing wrong towards him.
The police-constable told Mr. Jeremy that the prisoner
Furnam was a painter and glazier, but seldom worked,
and slept about in sheds and barns at night.
Mr. JEREMY said, he did not think felony was in-
tended, but a most daring and impudent trespass had
been committed by both prisoners, and he should fine
them 103. each, and order them to pay ss. each for the
damage done to the clock, and in default he should corn,-
mit them for one month to the House of Correction.
The prisoners were locked up.

TRH POLES IN SIBERIA.—A Polish journal, pub-
lished in Paris, gives a long account of the exile to Si-
beria, and escape of a Pole named Piotrowski, who had
taken part in the Polish insurrection of 1831, and sub-
sequently found refuge in France. In 1843 M. Piotrow-
ski left France, and contrived, under the assumed name
of Cataro, to enter Russia, where he established himself
as a teacher of the French language, and remained un-
suspected for nine months, at the end of which period he
was denounced by a person named Lesczinski, to whom
he had imprudently revealed who he was. lie was ar•
rested and sent in chains to Fief, where he was sen-
tenced to bo shot, but the Governor-General commuted
his sentence to hard labour fur life in Siberia, and the
commutation was confirmed by the Emperor. The de
nunciator, Lesczinski, received the thanks of the go-
vernment and the decoration of the order of Saint Sta.-
nislaus. On his arrival in Siberia, Piotrowski was sent
to work in a distillery belonging to Prince Gortchakoff,
at Eketerinsk, and where he found 300 convicts, all of
whom, with the exception of two Poles exiled for politi-
cal offences, were thieves and murderers. At the be-
ginning of January last, M. Piotrowski, unable to bear
this association and the hard labour and bad food to
which he was condemned, resolved to attempt an escape,
and has succeeded, after undergoing dreadful hardships
and privations. lie travelled at night, swimming through
rivers and lakes, and concealing himself occasionally
during the day under the snow, lie reached Paris on
the 22d October last, after having travelled at least 4,000
leagues on foot. M. Piotrowski.asserts, but which we
much doubt, that the number of Poles now in exile in Si-
beria exceeds 50,000, many of whom are condemned to
hard labour in various establishments, and are treated
with great rigour ; others are placed on lands belonging
to the Government.

'Wild fowl was ni,ver so abundant or cheap as at
present. The country " boys" are engaged every day
at the pastime of shooting game, but the largest field day
is the Sabbath, when shots may be heard popping in all
directioas. Tree consequence is, that fowl are hawked
about the town for sale in the greatest plenty,—
