A IiTnirEcHAPEL PICKPOCKET.—Martin Rooke, aged
19, who described himself as a tailor of Chatham, in Kent
was charged with stealing a pocket handkerchief from th
person of Stephen Joyce, a gas-fitter of No. 10, Sussex-
place, Leadenhall-street. The prosecutor was passing
along the Whitechapel-road, when the prisoner abstracted
his handkerchief from his pocket. The prosecutor pur-
sued the prisoner, who was stopped by police-constable
Brooke, No. 207, 11, and detained. The handker
chief was produced. The prosecutor was fol-
lowed for about three-quarters of an hour before
his handkerchief was stolen, and he was w trued
by a friend that a thief was on the point of robbing him.
Mr. Joyce, suspecting that the prisoner had something
more valuable in view than a handkerchief, transferred a
bag of gold from one pocket to another, and had scarcely
done so when his handkerchief disappeard. The police-
man believed the prisoner was au old London thief, and
not a Chatham tailor.

THE FUTURE MONARCH OF SFAIN.—W e are in-
debted to our neighbours over the way for the latest "sen-
sation" about the future monarch of Spain. The Jornalero
of Algeciras announces in large type that the abdication
of Dona Isabel in favour of the Prince of Asturias is a
settled thing, and that the Prince is to marry a daughter
of Queen Victoria. who will, in consequence, cede Gibral-
tar to Spain. As his Royal Highness is only twelve years
of age, it is presumed that tire Princess Beatrice, aged
eleven, is the bride hinted at by the Jornalero, but .rfhat is
Spain to do until these Royal children grow up. —Gibraltar
Chronicle.

An Admiralty letter has been received at Wool-
wich, stating that the Dockyard and Arsenal emigrants
will be sent out to Quebec in her Majesty's troopship
Simoon, instead of the Urgent, as previously arranged on.
The Simoon will leave Pottsmouth on the 24th inst.

TIIE POTATO CROP.—Upwards of 200 tons of
potatoes were sent to London from West Cornwall during
the past week. The disease has, unfortunately, made its
appearance in several localities, and many of the large
growers in Cornwall are consequently hastening supplies
to market.

MACKEREL.—Large catches of mackerel were
taken on the Cornish coast during the past week, and some
scores of tons wore forwarded to London, leaving an un-
usually good supply for Cornwall and Devon. Prices
ranged from Bs. to 15s. per 120.
ANOTIIEIt CASE FOR COURT-MARTIAL. The
maxim of "More haste, less speed," has been verifiel in
the case of her Majesty's ship Barrosa. The ship, on the
news of the mishap which occurred to the Cadmus, was
immediately got iu readiness at Sheerness to proceed to
the re:ief of her sitter ship, but on her way westward she
also ran ashore, and will have to be subjected to the pro-
cess of docking at Devouport before she can be allowed to
proceed to sea.—Army and Nary Gazette.
The two year old filly by Dundee out of Prologue has
been named Promptress, and as such ran at Beverley On
Wednesday and Thursday.
