BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Patrick Nyland, the Irishman, who has been so often
remanded on the charge of throwing two bricks from
the roof of a house in the Strand, and seriously injuring
Mr. Harvey and Miss Tomkins, who were passing at
the time, was finally brought before Mr. Ilenry this
morning.
It appeared that both Mr. Harvey and Miss Tomkins
were now out of danger, and that neither of them in-
tended to appear against the prisoner.
Mr. HENRY therefore discharged him, but warned him
that if either party had died he would have been tried
for manslaughter.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
George Iluddlestone, a boy about 16 years of age, was
put to the bar charged with turning to account the su-
perstition of the people of Tottenham-court-road.
Police-constable E 166 said he was on duty in Totten-
ham-court-road last night between ten and eleven
o'clock, and saw a large crowd about Tottenham- court-
road Chapel, collected by a number of boys, who gave
out there was a ghost astir. Shortly one and another of
the ghost-seers began to find that their pockets had been
lightened, and to complain to the police. He said he
watched the boys in the crowd, and distinctly saw the
one at the bar with his hand in a lady's pocket.
The defendant denied the charge made against him.
Mr. HARDwica remanded him till Tuesday, that in-
quiry might be made about his character.

THE YOCCA GLoaroso.—Four of these beautiful
plants are now in flower at the Surrey Zoological- Gar-
dens. It is supposed the extreme dryness and warmth
of the weather has occasioned such an unusual occur-
rence. These plants are " miniature aloes," shooting
their flower sterns from the centre of the plant exactly
after the fashion of the aloe, and the shape of the stem
and form of the petals are very similar. The flower stem
grows to the height of eight or ten feet.
The Baron Rehausen, Charge d'Affaires for Sweden
and Norway, with his suite, arrived in this country yes-
terday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's mail-packet John Bull, from Hamburgh.
SPLENDID METEOR.—The most brilliant and re-
markable specimen of a " shooting star" that we recol-
lect to have ever witnessed passed over the metropolis
last night. At fifteen minutes to ten the atmosphere
became suddenly lighted up with an intense glare, fully
as strong as the brightest moon-light, but of a lurid
blueish tinge, and the attention of every one who hap-
pened to be in the open air was immediately attracted to
the magnificent phenomenon passing over head. The
meteor first made its appearance in the shape of a
globe of fire, a little south of the zenith, and shot
across the heavens towards the north, until it be-
came extinguished after passing a few degrees beyond
the polar star, and then the fiery train which it left
behind appeared broken into two ; the shorter
part being nearest to the nucleus and disappearing first
after it, whilst the remaining part, which seemed to be
more than twenty degrees in length, retained its vivid
brightness for about thirty seconds. The most singular
feature in the phenomenon was then observed. The
train, which had been changing gradually from the
bright phosphoric white to a dull red, assumed a ser-
pentine appearance, which soon changed into a semi-
circular one, and perfectly resembled a cluster of minute
stars, gradually becoming fainter and fainter until, after
a lapse of nearly five minutes, it quite vanished. The
phenomenon excited very general interest. The atmos-
phere was beautifully clear, and several shooting stars
on a small scale were observed during the evening.
A laburnum tree is now in full bloom in the
garden of Mr. Barnes, jun , in South-street ; such an
instance at this period of the year, not being remem-
bered by the (Vest arborist in our neighbourhood, ex-
cept this season.—Dorset Chronicle.

,,,l nt(rt d thy: toner of Crowle Churc,l, af W nigh's
oho, and took away the haocle face th 4, cock A
reward of 101. is offered by the Vicar, the Rev. Mr. bun-
combe, for the detection of the offending party.—Don-
