LAMBETH.

Yesterday Alfred England, a notorious thief, and
who had been remanded from Thursday last on a
charge of breaking the shop-window of Mr. Miller,
a watchmaker and jeweller, and stealing watches,
chains, and other property, of the value of 501., was
finally examined before Mr. Norton.
The robbery, it will be recollected, bad been com-
mitted in the most impudent manner, at seven
o'clock in the evening, and in one of the most lead-
ing thoroughfares in Llndon. The thief, in the first
place, tied the shop-door to the scraper; and though
Mr. Miller was engaged behind the counter at the
time, he (the thief) had sufficient time to help him-
self to eight watches, eight chains, and other pro-
perty, and got round the corner into Penton-place
before Mr. Miller could get the shop-door open.
Three witnesses, who were close on the spot at the
time, and saw the man break the window and take
the property, made no effort to secure him, nor
could they speak to his identity.
The prisoner called his father and brother as wit-
nesses in his favour, but though their statement dif-
fered somewhat widely from his, Mr. Norton, taking
into consideration the fact that the prisoner had de-
livered himself up at the station, and other circum-
stances, believed him innocent of the charge, and dis-
charged him.
A WOMAN WITH Two HusmtsiDs.—A. man named
Sharp was brought up on a warrant for refusing to
support his wife ; but the latter having admitted that
she had been married upwards of twenty years ago to
another man in court, while she had only been married
fourteen years to Sharp, Mr. Norton dismissed the
complaint.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN.—THE MEETING IN THE
CITY.—We are glad t perceive that the proposed loan
of five millions for the service of Russia—a power which
has crushed for a time, by the most treacherous and ty-
rannical proceedings, the rising liberties of the continent
—has not been taken by the great Jewish capitalists.
Some short time age, a leading journal published most
grievous daily Jeremiads about the impropriety of rais-
ing large sums in the London money-market for railroad
purposes, even though the outlay was expended at home,
and to that cause ascribed the panics we have just sur-
vived. Now, however, it suits the policy of that journal
to advocate the propriety of the new Russian loan of
five millions, ostensibly brought forward to complete a
Russian railway. Whether that be the re al purpose of
the loan or not, it is not our business to inquire; but we
may be permitted to rejoice that a Jewish house has not
had the negotiation ef a loan for a power so adverse to
every principle of civil and religious liberty. Further,
we have to ;say, that if our own railroads "absorbed our
capital" to the destruction of so many eminer.t houses,
it is to be hoped that it will not be really " absorbed" in
a Russian railroad, and tend to bring about a fresh dis-
turbance of our money market, so leading the unwary
trader to endure another excruciating process for the
"correction of the exchanges," and the especial enrich-
ment of those who are denounced by the prophet
Ezekiel as having "taken usury and increase, and
greedily gained ( f their neighbours by extortion"
(Ezek. xxi. 12). Whatever may be the issue of the
meeting called in the City, as suggested by Mr. Cobden,
it will have one good reralr, being an open proof t f the
increasing influence of higher principles than the mere
sordid love of gain.--Jewish Chronicle.
TEE JEWS AND GENERAL LITERARY AND SCIEN-
TIFIC INSTITUTION.—TIie anniversary ball of this insti-
tution took place on Thursday at Willis's Rooms. The
object of the institution. may be gathered from its title.
It extends to the mem burs of the Jewish community,
without confining to t'aem those benefits which are ren-
dered by the literary and scientific institutions now so
generally spread throughout the metropolis. An extee-
sive library, readirv-rooms, classes for the study of lac-
gouges and generral branches of irtirmation are open to
the members; and lectures are periodically delivered by
