BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
An elderly man, named Martin Cunningham, was
charged before Mr. Henry with felony.
It appeared that for some months past the prisoner
had been allowed to carry away the shavings from a
carpenter's shop in Foundling-place, Gray's Inn-road,
and yesterday he succeeded in abstracting two valuable
planes and a lock from one of the benches fixed in the
shop. He afterwards offered them as pledges to a
pawnbroker in Long-acre, but as he was unable to givo
the name of the tools, the pawnbroker suspected that he
had not come honestly by them, and he was accordingly
handed over to the police. It was thea discovered that
the property had been stolen from the premises of the
prosecutor, in the manner already described.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY).
A BEVY or BEAUTIES.—Jenny Lind (not the Swedish
Nightingale), Ranelet Engle, Pauline Duval, Palmire
Boulenger, Palmi Palter, Julia Lore, Mary Ann
Maims. Elizabeth Smith, Caroline Gorman, Jane Cole,
El.za Hicks, Catherine Goddard, and Emma Lewis, all
belonging to the " frail sisterhood," were placed at the
bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with annoying several
gentlemen in the Haymarket and Waterloo-place.
It appeared from the evidence of Boyce and other
constables, that on the previous night they saw the pri-
soners walking arm-in-arm, four abreast, in the Hay-
market and Waterloo-place, and in consequence of the
complaints made to them (the officers) by several gen-
tlemen who had been annoyed by the defendants' impor-
tunities, the whole of them were taken into custody.
Mr. BINGHAM severely admonished the defendants,
and discharged them with a caution against coming be-
fore him azain, on pain of imprisonment.
A DRUNKEN GENT.—Mr. William Banol, 12, Bromp-
ton-square, was charged with being drunk and refusing
to pay his cab fare.
The cabman stated that last night he was engaged by
the defendant in Leadenhall-street to take him to the
West-end. On their way thither the defendant ordered
him to pull up at various public-houses, and amongst
others the Red Lion in the Strand, where he stopped
more than half an hour. From thence he drove the de-
fendant to the Haymarket, where he got out, and as he
refused to pay his fare witness gave him in charge.
Mr. Banol denied ever being in a cab at all last night,
and contended that the cabman had made a mistake in
the person.
Mr. BINGHAM thought otherwise, and ordered the de-
fendant to pay 2s. cab fare, and 2s. for the cabman's
loss of time.
The money was immediately paid.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
The spot which last week was filled with multi.
tudes of admiring spectators is now in possession of
bands of porters and mechanics, and the hammer and
the packing-case are once more in active operation.
An immense quantity of goods bas been carried away
since yesterday, including the majority of the
valuables in the shape of plate and jewellery.
The external aspect of the majestic building in
Hyde-park presents now the very counterpart of the
bustle occasionally witnessed at the goods' station of
a railway. Platforms have been placed at all the
entrances, while at the western and eastern ends of the
building cranes and other lifting apparatus- are in
the course of erection to facilitate the removal of the
heavier description of objects that have been exhi-
bited. Sales are still being negotiated, and it is cal-
culated that at least two-thirds of the contracts will
change hands before the last article has been carried
away.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
THE BATEMAN CHILDREN.
An adaptation of the Gamin de Paris, entitled
The Young Scamp, which was some years since
written by Mr. E. Stirling, for Mrs. Keeley, was
revived here last evening for Kate Bateman, who
acted the part of Joseph, the Gamin, with infinite
talent. In the earlier scenes she entered thoroughly
into the mischievous spirit of fun by which the Gamin
is actuated ; and in the latter scenes, in which the
mischievous boy rises into a hero, vindicating his
sister's honour, her acting was full of the most touch-
ing pathos. The applause was enthuSiastic through-
out, and the theatre was exceedingly well attended.

If there is any branch of art in which more decep-
tion is practised than another, it is that of daguerreety ing.

street, Lisson-grove, Paddington, under the following cir-
cumstances :—The accident, it appears, was occasioned by
the unfortunate deceased loading a large horse-pistol on his
return home at night, on the 7th instant, unknown to his
family, and carelessly left it on the supper table, when his
son, a fine lad of the name of William Glindhind, aged nine
years, took up the pistol, on coming down stairs to breakfast,
and pointing it towards his father told him, playfully, he
would have a pop with it ; when, unfortunately, before his
father had time to tell him it was loaded, he pulled the
trigger, and the whole of the contents entered his right side
just above the hip. The family, upon seeing this, rushed
out of the house, and raised an alarm, when police-constable
No. 134 D, found the unfortunate man bleeding profusely
from a frightful wound. He was immediately conveyed to
Saint Mary's Hospital, Paddington, when the house-sur-
geon, Mr. Lane, was promptly on the spot, and examined
the unfortunate man and rendered every assistance possible,
but without avail. The unfortunate man expired yesterday
afternoon.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Monday afternoon, as
the Star steam-boat was going down the Long Reach, on her
way to Gravesend, an alarm was given by some of the deck
passengers that a man had leaped overboard. The vessel
an
was proceeding at the rate of fourteen miles
kept onhour, and the
t the
man, Who was observed to beP surface in her
wake by the action of the being from the
paddles, would
inevitably have been drowned—it impossible to reverse
the engines in time to put out a boat to save pini_had not
the Sapphire steamer, on her way to London, adme up, the
man still floating on the surface of the waves, now far in the
wake of the Star; the boat was at once lowered, and he was
picked up andlreplaced, but in an insensible state, on board
the Star. He, however, soon evinced signs of returning
sensibility, and gradually recovered; but his manner subse-
quently induced the observers to suspect him to be intoxi-
cated. On the boat's arrival at Gravesend he was taken to
the station-house, and he showed no symptom of, intoxica-
tion, but rather of that restlessness attendant upon mental
aberration. He told the superintendent that his name was
Carver; that he had left home that morning with the inten-
tion of committing suicide, as his pecuniary difficulties were
so great that he had no other resource.
CONSUMPTION Or COALS DT RAILWAYS.--The fOl-
- provision appears in the new Coal Act which was
briefly noticed in The Sun of Tuesday, making an allow-
ance to railway companies on the consumption of coals:—
"That in lieu of the return of duty upon any quantity of
coals not exceeding 500 tons, which has been bona fide used
by the engines of any railway company within the London
district in any one year, any railway company or other
person using their railway, who shall bring to any point of
the same nearer in London than the aforesaid distance of
twenty miles from the General Pot-office any coals for the
bond fide use of the engines of the said company upon which
coal duties shall be paid, may, upon a certificate from the accre-
dited officer of any such railway that the quantity of such
coals stated in such certificate has, after payment of the
duty thereon, been wholly and bond fide consumed by the
engines of such railway company beyond the London dis-
trict, in the month preceding the date of such certificate, be
allowed a drawback or return of the duties actually paid
upon such quantity, but no railway company, or other
person, shall be allowed a drawback of, or exemption from
duty, both upon coals consumed by the Loudon district, and
i also upon coals consumed within the London district."
