MARLBRO'-STREE T--(THIS DAY).
A SMABIEER.—John Smith was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with uttering a counterfeit
shilling.
Mr. Dutellies, landlord of the Crown Tavern, Park-
street, Grosvenor-square, stated that yesterday after-
noon, about four o'clock, the prisoner came into his bar
and called for a glass of porter, and threw down a penny
o❑ the bar in payment. A few minutes after ho called
for another glass of porter, in payment for which he
tendered the shilling produced. Witness not liking the
appearance of the coin tried it in the detector, whe❑ it
instantly broke in halves. Witness gave it to the pri-
soner again, when he (the prisoner) said bo was not
aware the shilling was a bad one, as he had just re-
ceived it from a friend; he then gave complainant a good
shilling, and having received the change left the house.
Directly he had left a constable came in and asked him
if the prisoner had tried to pass a counterfeit shilling,
and having received a reply in the afrmati►e, he went
in pursuit and took him into custody.
Day, 76 C, said he was on duty in Park-street yester-
day afternoon, when he saw th• prisoner, whom he knew
to be a regular " smasher," go into the Crown public-
house. When he came out, witness went in and asked
the landlord what the prisoner wanted, and on being told
that he bad uttered a counterfeit shilling, ho ran after
him and took him is charge. On searching him at the
station, several good shillings, sixpences, and fourpenny
pieces were found upon him.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded,
for the attendance of Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor.

ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN AUSTEALIA.—There
was yesterday printed a Parliamentary document containing
the copy of a letter from the Lord Bishop of Sydney to Sir
C. Fitzroy, the Governor, in relation to the rank or prece-
dence of bishops appointed by the Pope within her Majes-
ty's Australian dominions. Sir Robert Inglis obtained the
document. On the 22d of May last the Bishop of Sydney
addressed the Governor, and concluded in the following man-
ner:—" The right and full power of her Majesty to bestow
rank and precedence upon any of her subjects, and therefore
upon Romish ecclesiastics, regarded as individuals, and not
as a class or order of men, cannot be doubted or questioned,
if this prerogative be exercised by the customary forms of
grants tor such purposes; but the question I am compelled
to raise is, whether directions issued not expressly in the
name of her Majesty are in force to invest the Pope with
the sovereign prerogative of conferring, even virtually, rank
and precedence at his own will upon his nominees and in
virtue only of his nomination, within this realm." At the
end of July the Governor enclosed the letter to Earl Grey,
which was received on the 4th of January. No answer had
been returned to the letter or dispatch, and both arrived in
this country when the agitation against Papal aggression
was rife.

At a meeting of the shareholders of the General
Screw Steam Shipping Company held yesterdday, the follow-
ing gentlemen were elected directors : John Margetson,
Esq., Cheapside ; James Laming, Esq., Maida Hill ; Richard
Smith, Esq., Manchester; Richard M. Fox, Esq.' M.P.,
Duke-street, St. James's; Peter Bell, Esq., firm of Messrs.
Scott, Bell, and Co., Alderman's-walk; William Scott
Binny, Esq., late of Madras, Bryanston-square ; Daily
Currie, Esq., M.P., banker, Cornhill ; John Urlay Ellis,
Esq., late of Madras, Finchley-road ; Captain Hubert
Fitzroy, RN., Norland-square ; Charles J. Major, Esq.,
13illiter-street ; J. R. Thompson, Esq., St. Peter's-alley,
Cornhill ; John Lambert, Esq., 13, Austin. friars. Mr. Cur-
rie was subsequently appoiated chairman of the board, and
Mr. Laming managing director.

APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS.—For
many weeks past the county of Anglesea has been infested
by a gang of thieves, who have committed many robberies
by breaking into the shops. It is supposed that the whole
gang, amounting to seven in number, have at length been
secured through the exertions of the police, who apprehended
them with some of the stolen property in their possession.
They have been fully committed for trial. One of the pri-
soners has been passing through the country, calling himself
a Hungarian refugee, and another prisoner is a desperate
character, who has been charged with stabbing a man at the
Menai-bridge, who died from the injuries received. Several
highway robberies, attended with personal violence, have
taken place in and near Banger.
FORGERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT. -- A. telegraphic
message was received in Edinburgh--on Thursday evening,
from the police authorities in Birmingham, to apprehend a
young man suspected of forging his employer's name, and
obtaining by the fraudulent signature the sum of 801. from
one of the banks there. The young man had fled from Bir-
mingham about a week before, and was supposed to be in the
neighlso,,rhoood of this city. Within an hour the fugitive
was apprehended by M'Levy, who dexterously traced him
out ; and the same night intimation of the capture was tele-
graphed to Birmingham, from whence an officer was imme-
diately dispatched for the prisoner, with whom he returned
on Saturday morning.—Edinburgh Courant.
ICING'S COLLEGE LITERARY AND SCIENTWIII
UNION.—The annual conversazione of this association of the
students took place yesterday evening. The spacious rooms,
forming the library of the college, were thrown open to their
use, and were quite crowded. The principal (Dr. Jelf) and
the profe?sors were present, and appeared to take a-lively in-
terest in the proceedings. Previously to the conversazione
there was a lecture delivered by Mr. M'Knight, one of the
students, upon the literary character of the age, in which he
spoke principally of Macaulay, Carlyle, and Dickens, de-
claring that each of them spoke part of the truth, but that
neither of them spoke the whole truth, and that the rising
generation must, look for some better guide. The lecture
was listened to with attention, and at its close elicited ap-
plause. The auditory, however, did not seem reluctant to be
released, and introduced into the' library, where a variety of
mechanical inventions, pieces of sculpture, beautiful en-
gravings and
prints, and other objects of interest, afforded
them an hour or two of great intellectual entertainment. It
appears that the members of the "union" meet weekly
(when papers are read, &c. ), but this is their annual reunion.
Altogether it appears a valuable and laudable means of
mutual improvement and entertainment ; and it was impos-
sible not to observe the cordial cheerfulness with which the
students entered into and enjoyed it, and the good feeling
and good fellowship which it evidently fosters among the
schol,,rs of all the different departments in the college, all
and cooperate in this literary
of whom are combined,
" reunion."
