MANSION-110USE.--(THIS DAY.)
A youug German, named Meyer Levi, was brought be-
fore Alderman Gibbs, charged with assaulting Patrick
Martin, and wounding him on the head with a chisel.
It appeared that on Sunday evening the prosecutor,
who was the worse for liquor, was in the neighbourhood
of Petticoat-lane, and excited the indignation of a num-
ber of Dutch and Germem Jews, by applying to them
some offensive epithets about their religion and location
in this country, and a scuffle ensued in which the pro-
secutor received a wound in the head, which he declared
v% as inflicted by the prisoner, who bad a chisel in his
hand. _ .

The prisoner denied the charge.
Several of his German friends, who witnessed the
transaction, stated that the prosecutor first struck the
prisoner, on which the prisoner returre 1 the blow, but
not with any instrument; and added that the wound was
an old cne, and not occasioned at the time of the dis-
till .w.nce.
The policeman who took the prisoner into custody
stated that the blood was flowing from the wound when
he first saw the prosecutor.
Mr. Alderman GIBBS said, when foreigners came to
this country they were too ready to introduce their
cowardly custom of stabbing, but he should endeavour
to repress such conduct, by punishing all parties who
were brought before him for assaults of this nature.
The prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 205., or be
imprisoned for 14 days.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Theodore Staines, a foreigner, who described himself
as a novelist to some of the London journals, was charged
with the following assaults.
Charles George, an artist, deposed that he was going
along St. Mtirtin's-lane last Saturday night when he
met the prisoner flourishing a crab stick which was
loaded at the end. Witness endeavoured to avoid him,
but was unable as the prisoner dashed forcibly against
him. Witness turned round to expostulate with him,
but the prisoner pretended that he was the aggrieved
party, and, raising the stick, struck him a violent blow.
He was about following the assault up, but was pre-
vented by the arrival of the police, to whom he was
given into custody. On his road to the station the pri-
soner kicked polio.-constable 108 F with such force that
he was unable to continue on duty, and on being taken
charge of by another officer he bit a piece of cloth out of
his two coats. Had he not had his great coat on, the
prisoner must have bitten a piece of flesh f£ om his body.
Mr. JARDINE, baying remarked upon the brutality of
the assaults, fined him 30s. for the assault on George,
and sentenced him to a week's imprisonment for the
assaults on the constables.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY By A ,_.l;lloPMAN.—Robert
Symonds, a well-dressed young man, and Susan Ilarris,
were placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, the former
prisoner ehargsd with having stolen property to the
amount of more than 801., belonging to his employers,
Messrs. Lawson and Parnell, drapers, &c., 211, Oxford-
street, and the latter with having received the came,
well knowing it to base been stolen.
William Harrison deposed that be was barman at Mr.
Gurney's, the Clarendon Tavern, Oxford-street, and that
he had known the prisoners for about a month or five
weeks by their coming to the house sometimes together.
During that time the male prisoner had been in the
habit of leaving parcels in the care of witness, and
when he left them he said if the young woman
called she was to have them. The male prisoner left
about a dezen parcels in all. The woman called several
times after that, -but she never took away any of the
parcels herself, she and the other prisoner generally
being together when they were removed. About eight
o'clock on Saturday evening last the prisoner Harris
came to the bar, and asked if Mr. Harris (meaning the
male prisoner) bad been there. Mr. Gurney answered
"No, he had not." She then left, std by Mr. Gurney's
orders, he followed her, and saw her go to Messrs. Law-
son and Parnell's, Oxford street, where she stopped
and looked in at the window. In a few minutes the pri-
soner Symonds came out and spoke to her, and imme-
diately returned into the shop. He then came out again
with a pair of steps which he placed against the window,
and then walked with the woman for about a dozen
yards. Witness then saw him hand her a parcel, and
she then left him. On witness's return to his employer's
he told him whet he had seen, and while he was talking
she came in and sat down in the tar, as she said she
was very tired, and would wait for the male prisoner.
Mr. Gurney then sent him to acquaint the prosecutor of
the whole of the proceedings.
Mr. Lawson stated that he was in partnership with
Mr. John Parnell, and that the prisoner had been in his
employ since April last, and not the least suspicion was
entertained of his honesty. On Saturday night, from
information he received from the last witness, he
went to Mr. Gurney's, and was shown a number
of parcels, which he opened, and found them to
contain a quantity of his property, consisting
of pieces of lace, silks, velvets, satins some'
dozen pairs of kid gloves, silk steckinge, and other
articles now produced, worth about 801. He immediately
gave the woman in charge, and returned to his resi-
dence, and, having procured a cab, called the prisoner
Symonds outside, placed him in it in custody ef a con-
stable, and then drove to Mr. Gurney's, where witness
confronted him with the woman. They were both then
conveyed to the station. Witness subsequently searched
the prisoner's boxes, and found several pairs of drawers
with his private mark upon them. He afterwards went
with the constable to No. 19, (.00per-street, City-road,
where the female prisoner lodged, and there found a
great deal more of his property. lie also found a con-
siderable quantity of drapers' tickets, and other articles
necessary for the business of a draper's shop.
Macdonald, 68 1), corroborated the evidence of the last
witness.
Mary Bridge, the female searcher at the police-station
Marylebone-lane, said she searched the prisoner Harris
on Saturday night, and found a parcel upon her, con-
tamping six pairs of kid gloves tied a piece of ribbon,
which were identified by the prosecutor as his property.
In reply to the charge, the prisoner Symonds said, he
had purchased a portion of the goods, as he intended to
enter into business on his own account. The larger
portion he admitted taking from the prosecutorpro's shoperpty
The woman said she was not aware that the
was stolen, or she would not Have received it from
Symonds.
The prisoners were both fully committed for trial.

to the claimant, and nothing more was heard of it for some
days, when the real owner, having discoveredands
his loss, some

the gent'einan to refund, to which a reply of the most offen-
sive nature was returned. Thereupon an explanation was
demanded, but the bird—we will not say shark—had gone to

friend, and the result was disgoe

DARING BURGLARY IN SUSSEX.—During
night of Friday week a daring burglary was committed by
three men in the house of the Rev. O. E. Vidal, of Arlington.
They proceeded first to the servaofnts'
them bed-roo
then m,
went where they
got two common watches. One to t
Rev. Gentleman's sleeping apartment and awoke him. The
ruffian wore a blue mask. In cue hand he held a tallow
candle, and the other grasped a sword, which he brandished
backwards and forwards, threatening
Inca Vidal he would
use it, if be made any disturbance.
left the room, and immediately a second ruffian, of shorter,,
stature was touter build, entered the apartment. Like the
first, hemasked, had a lighted candle, and carried for a
weapon the handle of an axe. He demanded where the
money was, and being told it was down stairs, he insisted on
the Rev. Gentleman's getting out of bed, and, undressed,
going with him to get it. On their reaching the study, Mr.
Vidal showed them the drawers where the money was de-
posited, but they, finding they were locked, demanded the
hey, and Le was forced to return up stairs, guarded by one
of the burglars, to give it to him. Having reached the sleep-
ing-room, Mr. Vidal gave up the key, and earnestly remon-
strated with the ruffian armed with the sword, reminding
him of the fate which must await him hereafter, if he even
escaped punishment in this world. The burglar, however,
insisted on the Rev. Gentleman's returning immediately to
the study, though still undressed, and, on his hesitating,
dragged him down to the stairhcad. Havriflingt , once
inmole
reached the study, the fellow proceeded to e i obtaining
neatly 401. I'dr. Vidal remonstrated with him, on which,
using violent threats, he placed the sword across the Rev.
Gentleman's throat, saying, if be made a noise, he would use
it. One of the other men was then called in, and, finally,
the Rev. Gentleman was locked up in the bed-room, whilst
the daring scoundrels quietly went down stairs and took tea.

THEATRE ROYAL PRINCESS'S.
After n ti.•ubfful c;re,r of corn(' sever or eql-11;
yeats—after hain;g L.en aiiernateiy a corletrt•room,
an opera-house, a vaudeville theatre, in short,
"Everything by turns, and nothing long—"

this beautiful little theatre has been rescued from its
previous—in every sense of the word—"doubtful
character," and, under the management of Mr.
Charles Kean and Mr. Robert Keeley, is now de-
voted to the service of Shakspere, and of genuine
English tragedy and comedy. It opens under
the most favourable auspices ; the names of
Mr. Charles Kean and Mr. Keeley, as managers,
afford a sufficient guarantee that nothing will be
permitted, either before or behind the curtain, which
can be in the least offenxive, either to public morals
or to good taste, and her Majesty has in this ini,tance
come forward as the especial patroness of the legiti-
mate drama by taking a box for the season; the
Royal box is situated at the extreme end of the dress
circle, and has been fitted up with great taste and
elegance. Messrs. Charles Kean and Keeley have
collected around them a company which, in the
present state of dramatic affairs, may well be
called strong ; indeed any company numbering among
its ordinary members Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean,
and Mr. and Mrs. Keeley could not be considered
otherwise then strong; but when we find them sup-
ported by Harley, and Wigan, and Meadows, and
James Vining, and Ryder, and Miss Phillips, among
the old favourites, and when we find among the new
recruits that most gentlemanly young actor Mr. Belton,
and that unctious old man Addison, we feel that we
should be doing an injustice to the management did
we not give them the credit of having collected toge-
ther the most efficient company in their power, and
of having availed themselves of all the unengaged
talent in the market. The house has been

.horoughly cleansed and renovated, and the scenery

is entirely new. The theatre opened for the season
on Saturday evening, and within five minutes after
the doors were opened it was crowded in every part
by one of the most respectable, most orderly, and
most attentive audiences ever congregated together.
All the notabilities of the literary or of the
fashionable world at present in London
were gathered together there to celebrate
the inauguration of the now " Royal Princess's"
as the temple of the legitimate drama, and the play
chosen for the occasion was well chosen ; it was
Shakspere's most vivacious, most amusing, per-
haps greatest comedy, Twelfth Night. The cast
was perfect, there was not a single weak part
in it. Mrs. Charles Kean, of course, was
Viola, a character which she has long since
made exclusively her own, and which she
performs with a piquancy and buoyancy so chastened
by surpassing grace and modesty as to render it a
perfect marvel of genuine comic acting. In no
character, perhaps, is the versatility of Mrs. Charles
Kean so manifest as in this of Viola ; how strong is
the contrast between her joyous and somewhat saucy
"I am the man," and the tender pathos which she
infuses into her reply to the Duke, "A blank, my
lord she never told her love," yet each is
equally appropriate, equally perfect ; how richly,
humorously comic is her acting in the duel
scene, how excellent her personation of the character
throughout. We are glad to find that Mrs. Charles
Kean has had the geed taste to discard the old tra-
ditional page's costume, and to dress Viola as a
Greek boy. Next to the Viola of Mrs.
Charles Kean, the most admirable piece of
natural acting in the comedy was the Sir
Andrew Aguecheek cf Keeley. He is the most perfect
representative of the foolish knight we have ever
had
.in our time. In Keeley's hands he is indeed a
" foolish and a faded gentleman," and in the Cabinet
Shakesperian gems Keeley's Sir Andrew Aguecheek
is worthy to take its place by the side of his Verges.
Mr. Addison was a hearty Sir Toby Belch, and
Harley as the clown was in admirable fooling ; the
little song which serves as epilogue was given
with true Herleyan quaintness. Meadows as
Malvolio was the very essence of self-sufficient
pomposity—the importance and dignity of his strut
was edinirable, and in the letter scene he was superb.
Miss Phillips was very lady-like as Olivia, and Mrs.
Keeley's Maria was full cf mischievous fun. Mr.
James Vining made snore of the little part
of Fabian than we have ever seen made of it. Mr.
Belton was ta most gentlemanly Duke, and Mr. Ryder
a very effective Antonio. The scenery, painted by
Mr. Gordon and Mr. Lloyd, was entirely new and very
beautiful, and there were none of these hitches
in the working of it which too often occur on a first
night. At the conclusion the applause was eathu..
siastic, and the curtain again drew up and discovered
the whole of the performers. The National Anthem
was then sung by Mr. Ransford, Miss Ransford, Mr.
Ransford, jun., Miss Annie Romer, Mrs. Keeley,
Miss Mary Keeley, and the rest of the com-
pany. Then there arose a universal cry for Mr.
Charles Kean, who at last had to come forward
and bow his acknowledgments to the audience.
A bustling and amusing farce by Mr. W. Bayle
Bernard, entitled Platonic Attachments, followed
the comedy. Mr. Thistledown (Mr. Keeley), a
middle-aged gentleman, having abjured the life of
innocent dissipation he has been previously leading
as a bachelor, is living with his wife (Mrs. Keeley)
in a quiet suburban retreat, dividing his time
between the pursuit of gardening and domes-
tic happiness. But, although a doating husband,
Mr. Thistledown is not quite proof against the
charms of beauty in other women ; and having acci-
dentally accosted a young lady in the City, a shower
of rain, which comes in the nick of time, gives him
an opportunity of proffering his umbrella, to be re-
turned at her convenience at his place of business in
the City. One day, whilst watering flowers in
his garden, Mr. Thistledown is surprised by the
appearance of an old boating friend of his, Tom
Rawlings (Mr. A. Wigan, who by the by came in
fur his share of friendly recognition by the audience
on presenting himself), on the garden wall. This
friend declares he is in pursuit of a fascinat-
ing female whom he has several times seen
in the neighbourhood, and whom he has recognised
either by her dear little black bonnet, or her
robin-tailed polka. The lady is no other than Mrs.
Thistledown, who, perceiving in Tom her pursuer, de-
sires his instant departure from the house. Tom,
however, who is acquainted with Mr. Thistledown's
peccadillo with the young lady of the umbrella,
threatens disclosure to the wife, unless he is then
and there invited to remain, Miss Mill-Ilan (Miss
Murray), a young friend of Mrs. Thistledown, but
who is unknown to her spouse by name, happens just
now to step in to tea, being on a visit to some friends
in the neighbourhood. In this young lady the un-
fortunate Mr. Thistledown recognises his fair incog-
nito. After suffering all the agonies of imprisonment
in a melon frame to escape exposure and questioning
by his wife, the unlucky umbrella at last appears
upon the scene, having been brought from the neigh-
bour's house for Miss Milman. Mrs. Thistledown re-
cognises the umbrella by the peculiarity of its handle,
and the full tide of conjugal jealousy is about
to burst upon the head of the unfortunate Mr.
Thistledown. But Tom Rawlings adroitly gets his
friend out of the scrape by unscrewing the knob of
Mr. Thistledown's umbrella and placing it on his
own, to which his name and address are affixed.
Thus are Mrs. Thistledown's suspicions allayed,
never, it is hoped, to be revived, and Mr.
Thistledown, by way of " tag," steps forward, and,
after a gentle hint to gentlemen under such
circumstances, exhorts all ladies, when umbrellas
are lent to them, to be cautious as to the
manner of returning them. Air. Keeley has a part
well suited to him. His look and attitude of stupe-
faction, which gradually assume the shape of a
mesmeric trance, at encountering the knob of the
unwelcome umbrella, was an exquisite piece of
satire on the mesmeric art. Mrs. Keeley oscillated
between the extremes of love and hate ; and Mr. A.
Wigan had a dashing helter-skelter part, admirably
suited to his bustling, mercurial style of acting.
Loud applause followed the descent of the curtain.
A ballet divertissement followed, in which Mr. Flex-
more, was a satyr, and Aladlle. Auriol and Madlle.
C. Leclercq were nymphs. The brillancy of
the dancing of the ladies, the extraordinary
tours de force of Flexmore, the beauty of the
scenery, and the gracefulness of the groupings,
secured the success of this divertissement, which was
received throughout with marked applause.

ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS AT
LIVERPOOL—On Friday evening an accident befel the Mar-
quis of Hastings, which had well nigh proved fatal. His
Lordship holds an ensigncy in the 524 Regiment, now in
Everton, near Liverpool. After dinner on the evening stated
his Lordship took a stroll alone, and in his ramble wandered
into the neighbourhood of the docks. About eight o'clock
the policeman on duty in Novascotia, whilst at a short dis-
tance beyond the bridge crossing the gut leading from
George's to the Canning Dock, heard a splash in the water,
in a southward direction, towards Canning Dock, and after-
wards a cry of distress. Several persons immediately pro-
ceeded to the spot, and the individual immersed, who proved
to be the Marquis of Hastings, was rescued with considerable
difficulty, and in a very exhausted state. He was at once
taken to the receiving-house at the south end of the Prince's
Dock, and the usual restorative applications having been
used, his Lordship was enabled to return to his quarters in
a few hours, not, however, without leaving an intimation
that he should be again heard of by those who had so zeal-
ously tended him. It would appear that his Lordship being
a stranger to the locality in which the accident occurred, in
walking forward he tripped over the guard-chain surrounding
the gut of the dock, and, not knowing his position, in en-
deavouring to extricate himself from Lis difficulty fell from
the quay into the water. His Lordship was in the water for
nearly ten minutes, and having completely exhausted him-
self in swimming, was in the act of sinking when assistance
came to his rescue. His Lordship is 110 W perfectly con.
valescent.
MILITARY KNIGHT OF WINDSOR.--efiptßill An-
drew Ellison, late of the 60th Rifles, has been appointed a
Military Knight of Windsor, in succession to Lieutenant
Ragg, deceased. Captain Ellison's service extends over a

giment. He entered the army as an ensign in 1807,
and re-
tired upon half-pay unattached in May, 1831 and from the
