Yesterday, a young man, named James Benson, was
charged with the following daring highway robbery:—
Mr. Walton, of the Gloucester Coffeehouse, was re-
turning home with his wife on the previous night, aril on
arriving at Whitehall, the prisoner and another man walked
before them, when Mr. Walton endeavoured to pass. At
this moment the prisoner snatched at his watch and seals,
and broke tie chain, a portion of which, with the appen-
dßges, he handed over to his companion, who e,caped, but
the prisoner was seized by Mr. Walton, and, notwith-
standing he struggled violently to liberate himself, was
detained until the arrival of a policeman of the A division,
who took him into custody.

The prisoner was identified as one of the men who
robbed a lady of her reticule in Regent-street a short time
since. He was remanded for a week.

A TENDER POINT.—The town-clerk o
Rochester, before the Corporate Commissioners, being re-
proved fur the petulance of his conduct, excused himself
by saying, that " the observations he had made were those
of a public officer deprived of his fees, which he consi-
dere l might be still further reduced oy the dreadful Ra-
dicalism now abroad, and into whose emoluments such a
dreadful and scrutinizing inquiry was going on !"—Bath
Guardian.

MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.---On the
first day of February, while Mr. Goulton, of Armin, was
taking his daily ride on his farm, he met with a twig of
quickwood in a hedge in full leaf. The shoot was about
six inches long, and of as beautiful green as an April
leaf.--Doncaster Gazette.
A petition got up at Exeter for the reduction
otfthe expense of a game certificate from 31. 14s. 6d. to
one guinea, lies for signature, vet), properly, at a gun-
maker's in that city. The petitioners are evidently old shots..
ATROCIOUS ACT.—On Saturday informa-
tion was received atthe different polieb-offaces, that on the
night of the 7th inst., some fiendish monsters entered the
fold_yard of Mr. Edward Thompson Poisons, of Stoke-
hy-Nayland, Suffolk, and killel, with arsenic, twelve fat

sion of the villains.

ley Noel, and who is understood to be brother to a Noble

eLch, on a chafe of committing, an indecent assault on a
person named Hewitt, ;n the pit of the theatre, on Wed..
neSday evening last. A rumour prevails that the pri-
soner is insane.
IRISH PiGs.--The number of pigs imported
into this city from Ireland during the last and present
week, amounts to 7,610.—Bristol Mercury.
THE FRENCH PRESS.—In the Chamber of
Deputies OA Wednesday last, M. Baillot, Reporter of the
Commission of Accounts, communicated to the Chamber
a demand made by Madame Azasse, proprietress of the
Moniteur, for a supplemental allowance of 5,000 f. per
month. " The Commission," M. Baidot added, " pro-
posed to the Chamber to refuse this demand."
A report has reached us that two under-gra-
duates of one of our superior colleges, men of family, have
been expelled the University, within these ten days for
very high gambling in their rooms. It is stated upwards
of 800/. was lost by one of them in one night's play. The
severe example made on the delinquents is praiseworthy,
as we. have been long convinced large sums are still played
for by young men of family at their college rooms, in
" night's darkest hours." These transactions so seldom
meet the light, that when discerned immediate and con-
dign punishment should be the result.—Cambridge In-
dependent Press.
