" cracksman," was charged with feloniously entering the
house of Mr. Wiiliam Sharp, No. 1.5, Mornington-placet
Hampstead-road.
The prosecutor stated that, about three c'clock that
morning, he was alarmed by hearing some person in the
house. He immediately got out of bed, and, on proceed-
ing down stairs, met the prisoner on the first floor landing.
not having either shoes or hat on. He collared him, and,
taking him down stairs, called in a policeman and gave him
in charge. The prisoner had effected an entrance by forcing
up the kitchen window, putting his hand through the ail'
hole of the shutters, and removing the fastening. The
drawers on the ground floor had been ransacked, and
quantity of table linen and other property was tied up in 5
handkerchief, ready to be carried away, The prisoner
shoes and hat were subsequently found in the area.

WHOLESALE SMASHERS.—SamueI Malcolm, Janie'
Bringlow, William Monk, and Mary Jones, were placed
at the bar for re-examination ; the three latter charged
with having a quantity of counterfeit coin in their posgek
si6n, and the former with a guilty knowledge, harbouring
them in his house.

It appeared from the evidence that, from information re-
ceived, several officers of this establishment proceeded on
Monday evening last to the Golden Key, Fenchurch-street,
Cripplegate, kept by the prisoner Malcolm, and on enter'
ing the taproom they found the other prisoners sitting at a
table having in their possession about 40/. in different
pieces of bad money, which it had since been understood
they intended to get rid of at Epsom races ; they, as well al
the landlord, were then taken into custody.
All the prisoners were fully committed for trial, and bid
accepted for the appearance of Malcolm.

TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.
ROBBERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL SxavANT.---Yesterdsl
William Smith, a young man of respectable appearance and .
connections, was brought up for re-examination, and placed
at the bar before Alderman ANSLEY, charged with robbing
his employers.
Mr. Pilcher, of the firm of Pilcher and Co., extensive oil
and colourmen, in Morgan's-lane, Tooley-street, deposed
that the prisoner had been in their employ confidentially nl3"
wards of five years. Within the last twelve months the
losses sustained by himself and partners through robberies
had been to an alarming amount, and upon whom to fix the
robbery he did not know, arising from the circumstance of
the whole of the men in their employ being old servants:
The foreman of the factory was called in, and he suggested
that the police should be consulted. This suggestion was
adopted, and ultimately led to the detection and apprehe°
sion of the prisoner.
William Christopher Reynolds, 119 M, deposed that, in
consequence of information he bad received, he set a watch
for some days on the prosecutor's premises, and from what
he saw fixed his suspicions on the prisoner, and upo.o
questioning him as to whether he had any indigo at 110
lodgings, in reply he solemnly asserted he had not ; bow'
ever, on witness's searching the prisoner's lodgings he found
a large and valuable quantity, which he produced. There
were marks on it.

The prosecutor's foreman deposed that in consequeac*
of the heavy loss his employers had for many months exPeci
rienced, he had marked a great many pieces of indigo, I°
put them in their proper places in the different rooms into
factory. In the room where the prisoner worked there so!'
a great deficiency. The indigo produced he marked, and
it is the same that had been stolen. It was worth eight
shillings per lb.

Alderinan ANSLEY asked the prisoner what he had to
say in answer to the charge ?—The prisoner, by the advice
of Mr. Walker, his solicitor, declined saying anything in
defence.

Alderman ANSLEY said so far as the case had been in-
vestigated it was clear against the prisoner. Robberies by
confidential servants of late had been more frequent than
ever was known. The prisoner had put the honest cha-
racters of old servants in jeopardy. The charge against•
the prisoner was a grave one, and ought to go before a Jury-
-The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial.

THAMES POLICE.
Yesterday a young woman, of lady-like manners acrd de-
portment, who at first refused to give her name, which after-
wards turned out to be Margaret Clinton, was brought
before Mr. BALLANTINE, on a charge of attempting self-
destruction.

It appeared that the attention of a policeman, named
Harrison, No. 64 K, was directed by several persons, at a
late hour on Monday night, to the prisoner, who had been
attempting to throw herself into the Regent's Canal-dock,
at Limehouse. She was in a very excited state, and the
policeman thought it prudent to convey her to the station..
house, where it was discovered that she was labouring under
the effects of some noxious drug, which she had
swallowed,
Inspector Young lost no time in sending for Mr. Belson,. smedical gentleman, who gave her an antidote, which dire
lodged the poison from her stomach, but she remained yell
ill all night.
I The young lady, who appeared in a very weak stain, sal,
he was very sorry for making the attempt on her lifv.
Mr. BALLANTINE made some inquiries of an old lad/'
named Hickey, the aunt of the prisoner, from which it er
peared that her niece had been courted by a respectable;
builder in Surrey, to whom she was betrothed. A quailed
had taken place between them, and her lover had declare
his intention of not marrying her. She believed, however'
that a reconciliation would take place.
Mr. BALLANTINE, after admonishing the young ladi'
gave her over to the care of her aunt.

The repeal of the stamp duty on newspapers is
citing much interest in this neighbourhood. Petitions from
almost every town and village are getting up, and—from_„Prs,

On Monday, between the hours of eight o'dock_iln
the morning and nine at night, 191 steam-vessels pp
igs7
through the Pool to and from Margate, Herne Bay, Sheer-
ness, Southend, Nore, Gravesend, Woolwich, and Greenwicl
including several on their way to and from Scotland, Ireland'
and the Continent. Each vessel averaged at least 500 per'
sengers, and the above calculation, made by
.Mr. Cher'es
Brown, a respectable boatbuilder in High-street, WaPP_ing'
who, with his servants, watched them all day ; but many pa-M7
after nine o'clock, swelling the numbers to upwards of 2uv:
so that more that 100,000 persons must have been afieet°—
the Themes on Monday, exclusive of the passengers in the
small boats. Several steam-packets carried 800 and 900 sew'
each to the Nore and back. One steam-vessel brought baci‘
from Greenwich 1,000 persons, another 1,300, and a third viy
actually crammed with 1,600 passengers.
On Monday afternoon, an accident of a very serious
nature occurred to Mr. C. Z. Barnett, the dramatic writer'
and brother to the eminent musical composer. Mr. Barnett',
accompanied by a young lady named Martindale, was proceef
ing in a cab along the Waterloo-road, about four o'clow".
when the horse " shied " at some boys who were playing ,11
the road with a kite, and' started off at a frightful ungovernabi43
speed. The driver jumped out and endeavoured to stop Oa
animal, but without success. On arriving near the Victoria
Theatre, the vehicle came in contact with a heavy coal war
gon with such violence that Mr. Barnett and the lady were
thrown out. Mr. Barnett was taken up in a state of insen-
sibility, and conveyed to the house of Mr. H. Dewhurst, time,
surgeon, where it was ascertained that he was very seriously
injured; but we are happy to state that the lady escaped with
only a slight bruise. Mr. Barnett, at the time of the acci-
dent, had with him a valuable old work entitled " John Mel-
ton's Plays," which some vagabond in the crowd contrived 0
purloin during the confusion.
