EXTINGUISHING FIRES BY STEAM.-
Several experiments calculated to show the utility of
steam in extinguishing fires, were lately exhibited at
Mile-end, on the premises of Mr. John Clark, jun., is
presence of a number of Commissioners of Police and
other gentlemen. A small house had previously been
erected for the purposes of the experiment, containing
tile I wood and other com,,ustible materials, which were
set on fire, anti allowed to burn till the flime: reached a
height of five or six feet. Steam was then admitted into
the house, by means of a pipe communicating with the
steam boiler in Mr. Clark's mill, and in about a minute
and a half the flue was completely extinguished. Thy
flames were observed to lower gradually as the sr.,ani
pressed downwards, arid supplied the place of the common
air. The gentlemen who witnessed the experiments ex-
pressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the power of
steam in extinguishing fire ; but the best mode of carry-
ing the principle into practice was considered a very
difficult thing. In many cases of common fire, we can
conceive that steam would be of immense benefit in check-
ing the progress of fames to adjoining rooms or premises,
and in extinguishing them in close apartments, where the
entrance of the air would not neutralise the power of the
steam. In most other cases, however, we are afraid the
application will be of little avail.— Glasgow Argus.

STATE OF CHOLERA IN THE METRO-
POLIS —According to the information which we have
been able to collect from authentic sources, the number of
cases of cholera (luring the week concluded is rather less
than occurred during that which preceded it, showing
the disease to be slowly on the decline ; and this view is
further corroborated by the returns, in the Bills of Mor-
tality, the number of deaths having dropped down from
186, the week before last, to 125 in the last week. Va-
rious circumstances have concurred to give rise to a
general opinion that cholera is and has been more preva-
lent than we believe to be the fact. It is undeniable that,
to judge from the number of patients effected with the
disease, who have been attended by private practitioners,
we should be warranted in declaring the malady to have
been considerably more rife than last season ; but it is to
he kept in mind that this depends in a great measure upon
the discontinuance of the cholera hospitals, in which many
of the poorer classes were provided for on its first irruption ;
and also, it must be added, upon its visitations having
been more frequently extended to those ranks of life in
swhich the assistance of the medical practitioner is imme-
diately had recourse t0..--Illedical Gazette.

Mr. ADOLPHUS said. that upon the part of Mr.
Savory he wished to know whither his Lordship
considered that he was bound, by v:rtue of his office
and his duty as a magistrate, to send this case to he
decided by another tribunal ? If his Lordship
replied in the affirmative, it would he of no use to
occupy his time in the examination of witnesses in
favour of Mr. Savory; and the evidence which it.
ti+a, competent to Mr. Savory to produce should not
be called until the case should be invesiigated be-
fore that iributial.
The LORD MAYOR—This is a court of inquiry ;
and I am bound to do all I can to collect materials to
assist in the inquiry. Therefore, you are at liberty to
throw all the light you ran en the subject. lam
willing to bear any evidence you can produce in ex-
culpation of you, client.
Mr. Adolphus—lt certainly is a court (to use
the old bad Irvin) ad inquirendum,sed non Iriendutn,
and therefore I do not think it necessary to produce
the evidence, which, if you think proper to send the
case to be tried, I shrill call upon the trial.
The LORD MAYOR (to Mr. Alley )—You said you
had other evidence to bring forward on this occa-
sion. Are you disposed to call your witnesses ?
Mr. Alley—l think it wou►d be overloading the
case to call more witnesses. The depositions which
have been already taken are quite sufficient to show
that the case is a complete one.
The LORD MAYOR—The subject is one of very
great public importance and interest, and the eyes
of the public are now fixed upon what is going for-
ward in this room. I am desirous, therefore, to
show that 1 am quite justified in the course I shall
adopt. Let the whole of the evidence be read over
to Mr. Adolphus, and he will probably be influenced
by that to direct his course of proceeding.
Mr. Hobler then read the whole of the evidence,
which was taken down in as perspicuous a manner
as possible by that gentleman.
Mr. Cox, the Warden of the Goldsmith's Com-
pany, wished it to be inserted in his evidence that
when he went into Mr. Savory's shop to purchase
the spoons, he was told, in answer to a question as
to the address of the manufacturer, to look at
a part of the shop, where he saw, in painted
letters," No. 9, Myrtle-street, Hoxton."
The Loin MAYOR—Do you mean to say that
the shopman meant that the person who resided at
that address was the manufacturer of the spoons you
purchased ?
Mr. Cox—l do. Mr. Cox then said, very em-
phatically, " The marks were not the genuine marks
of the Goldsmiths' Hall."
Here several articles of plate were produced by a
person belonging to the Goldsmiths' Company, and
they got into the hands of the defendant, who began
to examine the marks very closely. It was not dis-
tinctly stated whether the plate had been found in
Mr. Savory's premises, but our Reporter supposed
that such was the case, from the extraordinary sen-
sation caused amongst the gentlemen who were for
the prosecution when Mr. Savory began to eye the
articles.

Mr. ADOLPHUS declared that he could not possibly
discover what harm Mr. Savory could do by looking
at the articles.

The Solicitor to the Goldsmiths' Company said
it was not of Mr. Savory they were apprehensive.
There were some persons behind Mr. Savory, how-
ever, who need not take the trouble of examining
spoons.
Mr. ALLEY—The fact is, it involves a question
of identity, and it is better not to endanger that.
The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Savory is doing himself
no good by so close an examination of the gold
marks. It shows that he is well acquainted with
the difference between the Goldsmiths' Hall marks
and spurious marks.
Mr. Adolphus did not think it at all fair to draw
such an inference from the act of his client. If he
(Mr. Adolphu,) committed a forgery upon the Lord
Mayor, his Lordship would naturally look at the
fabrication.

The LiRD MAYOR—Yes, and I should knew, as
Mr. Savory does no doubt, the difference.
M. Adolphu• begeed to know upon what Act the
Company intended to proceed agaiost Mr. Savory ?
Mr. Alley—Upon the 13th of Grorge the Third.
Mr. Adolphus said he was surprised at some
things which were stated in the report of the first
examination of the case. He had no reason to sup-
pose that the report was inaccurate, but some of the
matter which had appeared certainly ought not to
have been published.
The LORD MAYOR—The examination was pub-
lic, and I suppose it was on that account that no
secret was mad, of any thing that was stated.
Mr Alley—l must declare that the report was
written in a ,pirit of great candour and fairness to-
wards Mr. Savory, for many strong observations
which I made were not reported.
Mr. Adolphus—l do not doubt the accuracy, but
I must •ay t hat things were published which ought
not to have been published, although they occurred
here.

The Lord Mayor, Mr. nobler, and the City So-
licitor then retired to the private room, and for a
short time consulted; and on their return his Lord-
ship said he should take bail for Mr. Savory to the
amount of 5001., and two sureties to the amount of
5001. more.

Mr. ADoLritus—Mr. Savory and others may
suppose that I would have adopted a preferable
course to that which I have selected upon this oc-
casion ; but it is to be understood that we are not
now upon our defence; and I have only to declare
that Mr. Savory has a most irresistible defence.
Mr. Alley—The gentlemen for whom I appear
hope most sincerely that he has. They will be
most hippy to find that he is able to defend himself.
For my part, upon nay honour, I shall feel high gra-
tification at finding that such is the fact.
[We think it but justice to two gentlemen in the
trade—Mr. Cooke, wholesale jeweller, 12, Dyer's
s) Holborn; and Mr. Thomas Freeman,
Buildings, Holborn;
Buildings; to insert the following :—ln
the report of Mr. Savory's case, in one of the news-
papers, on the 28th inst., a witness, Mr. Wood
pawnbroker, of St. John-street is made to say that
he took in pledge, about three weeks since, several
tea-apoons, some of which were pawned in the name
of Freeman, and some in the name of Cooke.
The pawnbroker never uttered the name of Free-
man, but that of Treen, who has absconded ; and
the two gentlemen above-mentioned were naturally
surprised and annoyed at seeing the error, and ap-
plied at the Justice-room to have the error corrected.]
- Mr. Gurney, of the house of Gurney, Ovetend,

DARING ROBBERY—Frederick Was and John
Randall were this day bright to the office charged
with stealing a great coat, a frock coat, and a
shooting jacket, from the shop of Michael Parsons,
a tailor residing at No. 415 Strand. It appeared
that the prisoners, taking advantage of the stiff
blowing gale and fast falling showers, having first
reconnoitred the premises, and thinking the coast
was clear, entered the shop of Mr. Parsons, and at
one " fell swoop" carried off the ar ides in question
which lay on the counter. Unlickily for their
'' short-sighted" speculations, the daughter of Mr.
Parsons was on the look-our, and saw their
sudden appropriation of her father's property; she
instantly gave an alarm, and Mr. Parsons darted
after them as quick as lightning; he was just in
time to see them turn up lie,atheock-court, and im-
mediately pursuing them, saw Wilks throw away
the clothes and start. Considering a " bird in the
hind worth two in the bosh," he fastened upon
Randall, who instal-lily knocked him down. He
jumped up, and renewed his !:rasp, and calling for
the aid of the police, secured the offender as well as
the stolen property The prisoner was then con-
veyed to the station-house, there to await the
judgment of the Magistrate, and while thus in du-
rance, WilkQ, like the moth playing round the
ime, came to make inquiries after him, and j,mped
into the danger which it was his interest to avoid
From the description which had been given of his
person, Tipper suspected be was the active com-
panion of Randall, and took him into custody.. Upon
being subsequently seen by Mr. Parsons and his
daughter they both recognised him as the fugitive.

Randall, in his defence, denied all knowledge of
the trans iction, and said he kew nothing of Mr.
Parsons or his shop, but that he was seized in the
manner described.

Willi, with equal effrontery, said, that so far was
he from being a party to the theft, that he was in
bed until after the time at which it was stated to
have been committed.

The prisoners, who were both known (not for
their good deeds) at the office, were fully committed
to take their trial.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—James Crouch, a cab-
driver, was brought before the Magistrate upon a
summons, charging him with cruelly beating a horse
in his care on the 27th of August.
A gentleman, named Harrison, who had taken
out the summons, stated, that on the day in ques-
tion he was driving along Tottenham-court-road,
when he saw the defendant standing with his cub
on the stand. He th n saw him get from his seat
and commence furiously lashing his horse's flank.
The defendant, in answer to this charge, said that
the horse was restive, and that he merely gave him
a few strokes with his whip, which was very thin,
to keep him quiet.—To prove this he called a wit-
ness, who swore that the punishment administered
to the horse was so slight, that he would not mind
receiving as much himself, and would say nothing
about it.

Mr. HALLS, however, who did not feel inclined
to believe this evidence, fined the defendant, as it
was his first offence, 10s. and the costs.

QUEEIV-S Q UARE.

CHARGE OF RoBBERy.—A middle-aged female,
named Victor 'Pauline Heron, and her husband, were
charged with robbing Mr. Dowley, of Wake Cot-
sage, Camberwell-lane, of plate and other articles to
a very large amount. The case excited a great deal
of interest, in consequence of the respectability of
the parties, and it has occupied the attention of
the Magistrates at this office for some time pa-t—
-three examinations into the circumstances having
taken place. It appears that Mrs. Heron formerly
acted in the capacity of housekeeper to Mr. Dowley,
an elderly gentleman, who has for a lengthened pes
riod been in an infirm state. When she left her si-
tuation and went to reside with her husband in
Stangate-street, Westminster, Mr. Dowley com-
plained of having been robbed of plate and other
property to a considerable amount, and his friends
instantly proceeded to tin investigation of the mat.
ter. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that some of
the property had been pledged by the prisoners at
various pawnbrokers; also, that a number of dupli-
cates for plate were found in the possession of the
prisoners on searching theirlodgings. This was, to
all appearance, sufficient proof of a felony having
been committed, and both Mrs. Heron and her hus-
band were given into custody.
When before the Magistrate, Mrs. Heron assured
the Bench that the property in question hab been
voluntauly given to her by Mr. Dowley at different
times while in his service. This was denied on the
part of the prosecutor, but the affair assumed so
mysterious a character that Mr. Gregorie twice re-
mamied the parties for re-examination, in the hope
that something in the meantime might transpire to
disencumber the case of the mist which enveloped
it. The prisoners, however, were admitted to bail,
end this morning was appointed for the third hear-
ing►. S..licitors on both sides were in attendance,
but all that was said pro and con. only tended to in-
volve the case in greater mystery. At length Mi.
Gregorie observed, that, after all he had heard, it
was in his opinion, likely that the property might
have been given to Mrs. Heron, and he should,
therefore, discharge the prisoners, leaving it at the
option of the prosecutor to indict them if he thought
proper at the sessions. The parties then left the
office, Hie friends of Mr. Dowley asserting that the
ca-e should be brought before another court.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—A young female, named
Mary Morgan, was charged with stealing from the
person of a gentleman named I Illdrup, of Ludgate-
hill, SU in Bank of EnglAid notes. The robbery
took place at the prisoner's lodgings in the Alnionry
about a month since, whither Mr. Hilldrup had ac-
companied her, while in a state of intoxication. He
discovered his loss shortly after, and gave informa-
tion to the police, but the prisoner had absconded.
A policeman-of the B division, who had long been
in search of her, met her on Fliday, in a state of in-
toxication Miss Mary told the magistrate that she
knew nothing whatever of the robbery, and was as
" hinnocent as the child what wasn't never horn."
Mr. H•lldrup, not having yet been'tuade acquainted
with the apprehension of his fair companion, the
prisoner was remanded until Monday, to afford time
for that gentleman's attendance.
THE KING OF THE BEGGARS.—Henry Haydon,
man with a wooden leg, known about Westmwstei
as the " King of the Beggars," was charged untie'
the following circumstances :—Mr. Somerford,
clerk in the Colonial D,partment, was passing aloft
King-street, Westminster, when he saw the de-
fendant, who was intoxicated, with a miserabl'e in-
fant in his arms, and a child in the most raggedson.:'
dition by his side. The rain was beating piteously,
and there was every likelihood of the infant sustain-
ing some injury from the reckless way in which
defendant carried it. The fellow at last staggered.
into a butcher's shop, where he solicited charity,'
and on being refused, he used the must brutal ex-
pressions. Mr. Somerford then gave him init.
custody. It appeared that he had received 7s. from
the parish that day to take him to Kent a hop-
picking.—Committed for a month.
A stout able young woman, named Mary Forster,
was charged with having been found lying insensibi)
drunk on Friday evening in the Broadway.
Mr. GREGORIE—WeII, what can I do? If I
'sent all the drunken persons that were brought herr
to prison, I should fill everg gaol in London in a
