MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A WATCHMAKER OF STEALING
HIS CUSTOMERS' WATCHES.—Thomas Cole, a watchmaker,
charged with stealing a watch and chain, entrusted to
him for repair by a coachman named John Gearle, was
again brought before Tyrwhitt, he having been remanded
last week in consequence of Inspector Bowles stating that
there would be several other charges preferred against
him.

On the priioner being placed at the bar Inspector Bowles
said that every difficulty had been thrown in the way of
the police going on with the charge, the father of the
prisoner having been tampering with the witnesses, and
several of the pawnbrokers were not in attendance.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the pawnbrokers had bettor be careful
what they were about, the more especially so as there was
a feeling against them at the present time.

An assistant from Mr. Dobree's, in Gilbert-street, Ox-
ford-street, produced the watch and chain owned by
Gearle.

➢ir. Tyrwhitt said he would remand prisoner from time
to time till the witnesses and the pawnbrokers did attend.
At the same time he thought Mr. Dobree had acted very
properly in attending to the case, as it showed that he con-
ducted his business very properly.
The prisoner said he pledged the prosecutor's watch and
chain, but several of the duplicates found on him related to
his own property.
The father of the prisoner denied that he had been
tampering with the witnesses.

Inspector Bowles said ho had proof of it in court, if his
worship would hear it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to do so.

THE BRAZILS.

RIO DE JANEIRO, APRIL 24.

Advices have been received from the Passo de la
Patria to the 9th inst. The fleet bad commenced
operations against the fortifications on the right
bank of the Parana, and the ironclads had done ex-
cellent service, though one, the Tamandare, had the
misfortune to receive a shell through one of her port
holes, which, bursting inside the cupola, killed and
wounded 34 officers and men ; all the officers of the
ship, except the surgeon, who was below, were
wounded, and of these only two are now alive, both
sub-lieutenants. In the other ships the casualties
were insignificant. The armour of the ironclads
have resisted splendidly the pounding of the long
68's at 500 and 600 yards distance. The Paraguay-
ans had constructed floating batteries, which are
only 18 inches out of water, very strong, and
mounting each a long 68-pounder. Of these four
were destroyed and one taken, since when no others
have shown up. The Brazilians have taken posses-
sion of an island within 600 yards of Fort Stapirri,
and whence the fort can be bombarded. This
island is now called Carvalho, and on it a battery
of 12-pound rifled field-pieces has been erected.
The passage of the army was expected to take place
on the 11th, and a steamer is daily expected with

news.

On the 9th the Minister of Finance presented to
the Chamber of Deputies his project relative to the
Bank of Brazil, of which an abstract was sent by
the last mail. It gave rise to a good deal of dis-
cussion, from which it has become apparent that
great abuses have been committed. Not only all
the capital, but also the greater part of the issue
of the Bank, has been employed in bills which
cannot be paid when they become due and
are continually renewed at maturity ; these
bills represent the agriculture of the country ; the
acceptors of the bills pay interest at the rate of 12
to 18 per cent. per annum,whereas the bank charges
of the difference being divided between the receivers
of produce and the private bankers, one of the latter
is said to have endorsed these bills for upwards of
£3,000,000.

The Ministerial deputies for the province of Bahia

struction of tramroads, to be connected with the

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEI4.:TII are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialito tertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

most eloquent chapters were written in the gardens of St.
Cloud and Vichy. His Majesty made several journeys,
accompanied by General Fav6, to ono of the most cele-
brated spots of the Gallic campaign. The Emperor was
also assisted by several distinguished officers. M. Alfred
Maury, of the Royal Institution, worked every day with
the Emperor in the literary part of the book. Upon one
occasion this gentleman found His Majesty pale, and with
tears flowing from his eyes. "Ah ! my dear M. Maury,"
said Napoleon 111., "we cannot work to-day." The Due
do Morney had died a few hours previously. A special
edition of this work was printed for distribution among
the Emperor's friends, every copy of which was signed

BOW-STREET.

THE CHARGE OE THEFT AGAINST A GENTLEMAN.—
James Hamilton Finney, the son of Major Finney, sur-
rendered to his bail to answer a charge preferred against
him of stealing a silver spoon, the property of Mr. Cooper,
the proprietor of the Albion Hotel, Russell-street, Covent-
garden.

It will be recollected from the report of the first exami-
nation, which appeared at length in The Sun, that the pri-
soner went into the Albion to dine, where, in conse-
quence of the large losses which had taken place of late,
the silver placed on each table was strictly watched.
The prisoner partook of some roast mutton, and when
the waiter was removing the joint he missed one
of the spoons from off the table. He communicated
the fact to the head waiter, after which the prisoner's
father, Major Finney, entered the room, and remained
with his son for some time. On leaving the hotel the
prisoner was watched by the police, and after his father
had left him he was observed to go into the shop of Mr.
Wallis, the umbrella maker in the Strand, which shop he
left taking with him a walking-stick. The constable then
took the young man into custody, and when at the station
amongst a variety of miscellaneous property taken from
his pocket the missing silver spoon was found. The
prisoner was remanded so as to enable the police
to make inquiry with respect to other property found on
his person.

The police said that nothing fprther had been discovered
detrimental to the prisoners. With respect to the two
purses, one belonged to the prisoner's father, and the other
to his grandmother, both of whom had commissioned him
to make purchases for them.
Mr. Sleigh asked the magistrate to dispose of the case
without sending the prisoner bafore a jury.
Mr. Vaughan declined to do so.
The prisoner was then fully committed to the next
Middlesex sessions for trial, but he was again admitted to
bail in two sureties of £250 each.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A WATCHMAKER OF STEALING
HIS CUSTOMERS' WATCHES.—Thomas Cole, a watchmaker,
charged with stealing a watch and chain, entrusted to
him for repair by a coachman named John Gearle, was
again brought before Tyrwhitt, ho having been remanded
last week in consequence of Inspector Bowles stating that
there would be several other charges preferred against
him.

On the prisoner being placed at the bar Inspector Bowles
said that every difficulty had been thrown in the way of
the police going on with the charge, the father of the
prisoner having been tampering with the witnesses, and
several of the pawnbrokers were not in attendance.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the pawnbrokers had better be careful
what they were about, the more especially so as there was
a feeling against them at the present time.

An assistant from Mr. Dobree's, in Gilbert-street, Ox-
ford-street, produced the watch and chain owned by
Gearle.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand prisoner from time
to time till the witnesses and the pawnbrokers did attend.
At the same time he thought Mr. Dobree had acted very
properly in attending to the case, as it showed that he con-
ducted his business very properly.
The prisoner said be pledged the prosecutor's watch and
chain, but several of the duplicates found on him related to
his own property.
The father of the prisoner denied that he had been
tampering with the witnesses.

Inspector Bowles said he had proof of it in court, if his
worship would hear it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to do so.
