meantime he hoped a little reflection in prison would
alter her intentions. If not, he should commit her to
Newgate for robbing her father, when she would be
sent to sea in a different manner to what she expected.
The prisoner, who displayed the utmost indifference
during the examination, was then removed.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Charles Salmon, a watch finisher (who was stated
to be a capital workman, but a very dishonest one),
was brought up for re-examination upon various
charges of robbery.
In November, 1841, he was engaged to work on
the premises of Mr. Church, watchmaker, in the
Westminster-road, and was placed in an upper work-
shop, as he requested that he might not be put in the
sale shop, within sight of the street. On the 11th of
November a very valuable gold watch (maker's name
Brocklebank) and another watch movement were
handed to him for some slight repair, but, instead of
taking them up to his workshop, he went through
the private door and absconded. Handbills were
printed, offering a reward for his apprehension, but it
appears he went to Germany, and only returned to
England a short time back. Lately he took lodgings
in the house of Mr. Evans, in Stafford-place, Pimlico,
stating that he had just arrived from Guernsey, and
expected his luggage by the Southampton Railway.
In a few days he absconded, and it was discovered that
he had stripped the lodging of everything portable.
At the beginning of last week he applied for work to
Mr. Turpin, a watchmaker, in Banner-street, from
whom he received a valuable movement to repair, but
he pawned it immediately afterwards, and it was as-
certained that he had served other tradesmen in the
same manner. At length Sergeant Brannan, 20 G,
who had been on the look out.for him since 1841, got
bold of him, and brought proof of the several charges
against him.
Mr. BROUGHTON said he thought he knew the pri-
soner, and had committed him before.
Sergeant Brannan said the Magistrate had com-
mitted him twice before. Four years ago he was
summarily convicted for making away with a watch
movement belonging to a tradesman in Cornhill. On
the other occasion he was committed to Newgate for
trial for stealing a gold watch belonging to Caspar,
the watchmaker, who was one of the parties impli-
cated in the famous gold dust robbery some years
back ; but he was acquitted of that, as it turned out
that the prosecutor had attempted to compromise the
matter with him. _ _

The prisoner was then committed on three charges,
and the sergeant stated that he had several others
against him.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Augustus Jamas John Larouche, a youth
of seventeen, in the garb of a sailor, and Edmund, a
little fellow of eleven years of age, were placed at the
bar before Mr. Norton, on a charge of stealing a
large quantity of stays, the property of Mr. Moss, a
wholesale stay manufacturer, of 112, High-street,
Whitechapel.
From the evidence it appeared that the younger
prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Moss for some
days, as an errand boy, and through him his brother
ascertained where a number of the workpeople of his
master resided. He also got a number of Mr. Moss's
cards, upon which he had written orders, and by this
means, and representing he had come by Mr. Moss's
desire, he had obtained several dozens of pairs of stays,
which he took, some to the house of a Miss Jackson,
and more to the residence of Miss Mary Ann
Owen, to both of whom he had been " paying his
addresses." Some of the stays were in an unfinished
state, and to complete them he had applied to a young
woman named Vaughan, with whom he had " kept
company."
Miss Vaughan, while giving her evidence, handed
in a note which she received from the prisoner, of
which the following is a copy :
" West-street, August 13, Six o'clock.
" Dear Mary,—l send these things by my brother,
as I cannot come quite so soon, but I will in about
two hours, and bring some more pieces. Finish the
white ones as soon as you can, and believe me to be,
for the present, yours affectionately.
" AUGUST-US L. R.

" Miss Mary Ann Vaughan."
While arranging the finishing of the stays, a cir-
cumstance :occurred which led to his unexpected and
immediate apprehension. Mrs. Myers, a young mar-
ried female, called upon Miss Jackson, and the elder
prisoner, in accounting for the stays, said that they
had been sent to him from Essex, and that the young
woman to whom they had originally belonged had
been transported. At the request of Mrs. Myers, he
agreed to let her have a couple of pair of the stays
at 2s. each. Mrs. Myers selected two pair from the
lot, and before closing the bargain she took them to
the shop of Mr. Moss, their actual owner, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what they were really worth,
and what it would take to flash them. The young
woman in the shop at once recognised them as her
master's property, and knowing they could not have
been sold in such a state, she informed Mr. Moss of
the circumstance, and this led to the apprehension of
the prisoners. The greater portion of the property
has been recovered, and the prisoners were remanded

THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.
(From the Dublin Evening Packet.)
Mr. Farren, Mrs. Glover, and Mrs. Seymour, made
their second appearance on Thursday night, in the
comedy of the Clandestine Marriage, when their joint
efforts were crowned with the most complete success.
Perhaps in the whole wide range of modern comedy there
is not a more highly finished or perfect piece of acting
than the Lord Ogleby of William Farren. From the
first inimitable scene of the making up of the old beau to
the falling of the curtain, all is perfect. In fact he iden-
tifies himself so entirely with the character that the spec-
tator at times fancies he beholds a scene from actual life,
not its mimic representation.
Several of our readers, smitten with the charms and
delighted with the acting of Mrs. Seymour, have written
to us, asking can it be possible that such beauty, possess-
ing so great an amount of talent, has hitherto been to
" fortune and to fame unknown ?" Do those inquisi-
tive gentlemen remember an exceedingly pretty girl, al-
most a child, in sooth, with long silken fair hair and
d( ve-like eyes, who excited the astonishment of our
fellow-citizens some eight or ten years since, by the grace
and feeling of her performance in The Bridal?
The piece was brought out for Macready,
and (we believe) Montague Stanley, and had a run
of several nights. The young lady was then called Miss
Allison, and was a protegee of Miss Barry, for many
years most deservedly a prime favourite on Hawkins%
street boards. Since the death of that lamented lady we
have lost sight of Mrs. Seymour, nee Miss Allison, until
now, in the full bloom of that beauty promised in her
early years, and in the maturity of those talents visible
in her youthful efforts, she has taken all hearts by storm
and achieved greatness here by twonight's performances.
Thus, as Richard Swiveller would say, "may genius and
loveliness ever meet their reward."
Talking of rewards, Mr. Joy, the most efficient and
gentlemanlike box-keeper that ever asked for public
patronage, has announced his benefit for Tuesday next,
when the performances will be of the most attractive
character. My. Joy's uniform courtesy in the discharge
of his arduous duties has won the approval of every
visitor of our theatre and we are sure the public will
feel rejoiced to have an opportun:ty, on the occasion of
his benefit, of repaying in some degree his friendly
politeness. Should past attentions, however, prove like
" eaten bread," and a " lively sense of future favours,"
take precedence of gratitude, we may just hint that the
ensuing season will open with the Italian company, com-
prising Grisi, Mario, the Lablaches, and Favanti ; and
that Fanny Elssler, with a first rate ballet company, will
succeed them. Verb sap.
