MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING GARROTYE ROBBERT.—Johni Garrett, 22, and
James Murphy, 24, a ticket-of-leave man, were brought
before Mr. Beadon, charged with the following daring
robbery.

George Sapside deposed that he was a glass engraver,
and resided at No. 44, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square.
Last night, about twelve o'clock, he was passing down
Bruton-street on his way home, when he had occasion
to go into Barlow Mews for a certain purpose, and while
he was standing there the prisoner Garrett came
behind him, put his hands round his neck, pulled
him on his back and nearly strangled him. The
prisoner Murphy then came up and struck him
a dreadful blow between the eyes, and knelt down
upon his stomach. Prisoner, who was in great agony
at the time, could not call out—he could only
utter slight groans. The prisoner Murphy then seized
hold of prosecutor's gold watch-guarJ, and endeavoured
to pull the watch from his pocket. Witness resisted a
well as he could, and the guard broke front the watch.
At that moment a constable came up and the prisoners
ran off. l'iley were pursued and taken into custody.
Wilson, 110 C, said about a quarter-past 12 last night
he was on duty in Conduit-street, when he heard groank,
proceed from the direction of Bruton-street. He ran to
the spot, and in Barlow-mews he saw the prisoners with
the prosecutor down on his back. Murphy was on the
top of him, and as soon as they saw witness they ran off.
Witness pursued them, and, with assistance, took them
into custody.

Sergeant Loom, B division, proved that Murphy was
a ticket•of-cave man, he having been transported five
years ago for a burglary in Pimlico. The other prisoner
had also been convicted before.

The prisoners, who denied the charge, were fully com-
mitted for trial.

Till Bon's: of Prussia., which reducad its rata of dis
col br to 4 per cent. shortly after the termination of the
war, has found it siscessary to return to its former rate
of 5 per cent. A rise of a half per cent. by the Bank of
Belgium was mentioned on Saturday, and it isevident that
on the continent generally a considerable pressura
money prevails, which has most likely been augmented
by the active employment of gold in the purchase of
silver
EAST &IF/FOLK RAILWAY.—Sir S. Morton Peto has
offered to extend his 14 years' lease of the line and tolls,
already provisionally agreed upon, to the term of 21
years at the same guaranteed rent of 6 per cent. per
annum. It is also proposed that the Lowestoft ane
Beccles and Yarmouth and Haddiscoe Companies shall
be amalgamated with the East Suffolk. Special meet-
ings are to be held shortly for the purpose of consider
ing these arrangements-
THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The
British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship
Asia, Captain Edward Lott, sailed from the Mersey this
afternoon, at 2 o'clock, for New York, with the usual
bi-weekly mails for the United States and Canada ; 140
passengers, amongst whom were Major-General Trollops
and suite, and a large and very valuable cargo of met-
chandise on freight. Previous to her departure, copies
of the daily papers of this date were sent on board the
Asia by Messrs. Willmer and Smith, of Liverpool, for
the press and public institutions of the Western Con-
tinent. The next mail steamer due from the United
States is the British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Canada, with advices from New York to the
26tb, Boston to the 27th, and Halifax to the 28th ult.
The Royal West India mail steamer Thames will
leave Southampton on the 20th inst. for the West Indies
to relieve the Clyde. The Tamar, which arrived home
on Saturday with the South American mails, made the
voyage between Lisbon and Southampton in 3 days and
3 hours, the quickest on record ; 50 or 60 years ago the
journey from London to Edinburgh would have occu-
pied as much tune. The Tamar was not due le England
before the 16th inst. ; she accordingly reached home 10
days before her time, an unprecedented event. She was
built by White, Cowes. A new line of screw steamers
will commence running between Southampton and South
America on the 23d, touching at Bahia and Rio de
Janeiro only
