BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Alfred Walker was charged before Mr. Jardine with
stealing a box of linen.
It appeared from the evidence of a carrier, who was
conveying the box, that he had been entrusted with it
by a lam lress living at Carshalton, in Surrey, and as he
was passing the Mu.cum, yesterday afternoon, he felt
some one lift the box out of the cart. Ile immediately
turned round, when the prisoner drove up in a pony
cart, and exclaimed, " Old chap, there's a cove a boltin'
with your box up Russell-street, round the corner of
Montague-street." The carrier jumped down and hur-
ried away in the direction indicated, but could discover
neither the box nor the thief. Meanwhile another young
man, who witnessed the whole transaction, called to the
carrier to come back, and when he did return to the spot
where he had left his vehicle, the prisoner and his cart I
were gone. " What's the matter?" asked the young
man who called after him. " I have lost a box," replied
the carrier. " Well," added the young man, " the fel-
low in the cart has taken it, and he's gone in the direc-
tion of Museum-street." Ile ultimately overtook the
prisoner, who was driving at the top of his speed,
of
with
the box in his cart. The box contained a quantity
valuable linen, and weighed about 1 cwt.
The prisoner denied that he had any intention of
stealing the box. The fact was, when thew rriere
thpoke
to him first, he saw a man stealing away th,
and so ho told him, but directly the carrier had disa
and
p
peered he observed the box lying
he lifted it into his cart, with the ip ,
avementntention of restoring
it; he was searching for the carrier at the time he gave
him into custody.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

GREEN WICII—(THIS DAY.)
DISISHARGE OF CRESSY FOR THE SUSPECTED MURDER
AT DEPTFORD.— William Cressy, who stands charged
with the murder of a policeman of the R division, named
Hastie, was this morning placed at the bar for final exa-
mination betoro Mr. Trail!.
Sergeant Carpenter said he had made the inquiries
which the prisoner wished, as.Lto his lodgings in the
early part of 1846, and had found them correct. He
had lived the greater part of that year, with the excep-
tion of a night or two, at the house he named at %Val-
thamstow. He had also found that the woman was of
a very violent temper, and that she had eccused Cressy
on several occasions, in the presence of witnesses, of
the murder of a policeman.
Mr. TRAILL said that quite did away with her state-
ment, for she had sworn that she had never mentioned
the circumstances to any person. Having passed a few
words of admonition to the prisoner, he said that ho
left that court without any of the statements of the
woman having been proved. Ho was now discharged.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. -- On Thursday a
meeting of the second-class ticket holders on this line was
held at the Royal Hotel, Richmond, when resolutions were
passed to the effect that the present rate of charge for second-
class season tickets is enormously high, and that exertions
should be made to induce the company to reduce them, and
a committee was appointed for the purpose. It was stated
in the course of the proceedings that tne cost of a second-
class season ticket from London to Richmond, 101,11 miles,
was 151. 65.; on the South-Eastern to Croydon, same dis-
tance, only 11/. ; and on other lines comparatively less, and
by omnibus from Richond to London, 181. per annum. Cal-
culations were entered into to show that a larger amount was
actually charged to the season ticket holders than if they
travelled by the ordinary trains.

BLOOMERISM IN NEW YORK. The New York
Tribune says that the use of the new female costume is
greatly on the increase, and, adds of the Bloomers :—" We
are glad to observe a better behaviour toward them by the
sovereign public. It is one benefit at least of the increased
adoption of the dress. Bloomers are getting to be too general
to excite surprise or ridicu!e."
