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 laundress living at Carshalton, in Surrey, and as he
was passing the Museum, yesterday afternoon, he felt
some one lift the box out of the cart. He immediately
turned round, when the prisoner drovo 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
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

AT EPTFOR W

Hastie, was this morning placed at the bar for final exa-
mination before Mr. Traill.
sergeant Carpenter said ho had made the inquiries
which the prisoner wished, as Ito 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 ho named at Wal-
thamstow. He had also found that the woman was of
a very violent temper, and that she had accused Cressy
on several occasions, in the presence of witnesses, of
the murder of a policeman.
Mr. Trio.!. said that quite did away with her state-
ment, for she had sworn that she had never mentioned
the CiTOPM3tBDCOS to any person. Having passed a few
words of admonition to the prisoner, he said that he
left that court without any of the statements of the
woman having been proved. He was now discharged.

excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of King's-cross,
on account of the stoppage of the extensive works at the

cause of the occurrence is the strike of the bricklayers, car-

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 ridicule."
