TALLOW.
Our latest advices from St. Petersburgh are to the
effect that a steady business was doieg in Tallow for
immediate shipment, at full prices. The quantity now
on passage to London is about 13,000 casks. The late
large additions to the stock here, which is now 36,361
oaks, have produced much inactivity in the demand,
the delivery last week having been confined to 2,387
casks. In prices, however, no material change has
taken place. To-day fine Ukraine is quoted at 39s 9d,
and other qualities of P.Y.C. 38s 6d per cwt. Since
Monday last the imports have consisted of 1,958 casks.
Town Tallow is 38s 3d to 38s 6d per cwt net cash ;

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
CHARGE ( F RAPE.—Hen'y Johnston, 21 years of
age, describal as an engineer, but an ill-clothed, dirty
looking man, was placed at the bar on an indictment
charging him with feloniously and carnally knowing
and abusing Catherine Davis, she being under 10 years
of age.
Mr. Platt conducted the case for the prosecution, and
the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ripton.
The evidence, which was of a nature necessarily unfit
for publication, went fully to establish the prisoner's
guilt, and also that be had c3mmunicated a loathsome
disease to the poor child, who was only five years
of age.
Mr. RIPTON addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soner, contending that an injury to the extent spoken to
by the witnesses for the prosecution could not by possi-
bility have been inflicted on a child of such tender years.
The RECORDER having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to be transported for life.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.—John
Hobbs, John Smith, and George Epps, were placed at the
bar before Mr. Hardwick, the former prisoner charged
with robbing his employer, Mr. William Mitchell, land-
lord of the Mason's Arms, Oxford-market, and the two
latter with aiding and assisting him in committing the
same.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Hobbs had
been in his service as potman for more than twelve
months, and the utmost confidence was placed in him.
For the last few months witness had missed at different
times a considerable quantity of money from his till, and
not having the least suspicion that the prisoner
was the thief, he taxed his two sons with taking
the money, which they denied. Witness then
communicated with the police, and, by their
advice, placed several marked pieces of money
in the till. On Sunday morning, having previously ar-
ranged with two of the detective officers of the E divi-
sion, he let them in about six o'clock and secreted
them in a room overlooking all the lower part of the
house, and in about an hour afterwards the constable
detected the whole of the three prisoners coming from
his bar, and took them into custody.
Sargent, 65 E, said at six o'clock on Sunday morning
he went in company with Sergeant Smith to the pro-
secutor's house, and secreted themselves in an empty
room overlooking the bar and the lower part of the
house. Shortly after seven o'clock the prisoner Smith
came down stairs followed by Hobbs and the other
prisoner, and after going into the tap-room, Hobbs
went to the bar-door and unlocked it by means of a key,
which he took from his pocket. He then called to the
other prisoners to come to him, and witness saw him
draw a pot of ale and hand it to the prisoner Smith,
who took it into the tap-room. The prisoner then
passed a bottle of ginger-beer to Epps, who also left
the bar. Witness then saw the prisoner Hobbs go to
a drawer and take out a quantity of cigars and tobacco,
which he put into his pocket Ile then heard the pri-
soner rattle about the money in the till, and as he was
leaving the bar witness pounced upon him, and took him
into custody. The other two prisoners were taken in
charge by Sergeant Smith. On searching Hobbs wit-
ness found three shillings, all marked money,
a quantity of cigars, and about twenty screws of
tobacco in his pockets, and on subsequently searching
his box he found 2/. 15s. in gold and silver, a cigar-
case full of :cigars, and several bottles of spirits; the
marked money and the other property was identified by
the prosecutor as having been taken from the bar. Wit-
ness then conveyed him to the station.
Sergeant Smith proved taking charge of the prisoners
Smith and Epps in the tap-room. He found Smith with
a pot of ale and Epps with a bottle of ginger-beer, which
they were in the act of drinking.
The prisoner Hobbs, in defence, said be was very sorry
for what he had done. The other prisoners denied all
knowledge of the transaction.
Mr. HARDAVICK committed them for trial.

DARING BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT TO
MURDER A POLICEMAN.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning, about half-past 3 o'clock, as police-
constable Goodwin, S 58, was on duty in the Chalcott-
road, near Primrose-hill, he observed a man, who on
coming up to him (the constable) asked the way to
Gloucester-road. Goodwin told him that he was walk-
ing away from it. He then asked the man what he had
in his hand, seeing that he was carrying a bag which
appeared to contai❑ a heavy bulk. Ile replied that it
was his own property, and that he bad worked for
it. Goodwin remarked that he did not believe
him, and that he must go to the station-
house. The man walked a short distance, when
he suddenly inflicted a wound wiih a knife upon the po-
liceman's face, which caused the blood to flow. Goodwin
grasped hold of the fellow, who attempted to stab him
in the abdomen, but was prevented. They struggled
and fell; while down he stabbed the policeman twice in
the face. They got up, and a desperate struggle again
ensued, the policeman being nearly exhausted from loss
cf blood and over-exertion. Ile called out loudly for
assistance, upon which two of the policemen on
the North-Western line went to him, when by
their united assistance the man was taken to
the station-house in Albany-street, where be
gave the name of Williams. In searching him
was found 25/. in silver and copper, consisting of crowns,
halt-crowns, shillings, &c. Inquiries were instituted,
when it was discovered that the money was the property
of Mr. G. Seeton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park-
street, Camden-town, who had deposited the money in
a cupboard in the bar parlour and in the till. It is sup-
posed that the thief must have concealed himself in the
taproom. The knife (a table-knife) with which he
stabbed Goodwin was Mr. Seeton's. Goodwin is under
the doctor's handr.

RAIN WATER AT RAILWAY STATIONS.—A corre-
spondent of the Builder says— Having observed, in a recent
number an article on the neglect of rain-water which falls en
house-tops, it appeared to me that a much more important
use than is there mentioned is also neglected, viz., with
regard to locomotives. Your correspondent gives 14 gallons
to the square foot per annum. Now, many railways have,
not square feet, but acres of roof, and as one acre is equal to
43,560 square feet, which gives 609,840 gallons of soft water
per annum on one acre of roof, the advantages which would
follow are these :-Ist. The water would be had for the ex-
pense of the cistern. 2nd. Less consumption of coke, as
rain-water boils easier than hard. 3rd. The boilers would
not be incrusted.
Lunicaous AIisTAKE.—A man near Leeds was
sent one day last week, by a neighbouring woman who Las
lately been confined, with a message to the clerk of the
church, requesting that she might have the ceremony of
" churching" pertoi med. The worthy friend informed the
clerk's wife that he wanted " a woman axing
to church."
The clerk's wife, supposing that he wanted the banns of me!.

namepoufbltilicleywio,yman, which, being entered in the book, was

A STALE TRicg.—A few days ago attempts were
made by a party of swindlers to play a trick upon some
tradespeople of this town. The plan was for two persons to
call with a large basket full of shoes for sale at a certain
price. The purchase was of course declined, and the parties
went away, leaving one or two pairs behind them, which
had been bought in order to get rid of their importunities.
In a short time afterwards a well-dressed man entered the
shop, repurchased the shoes, r nd gave an order for a gross or
two to be ready for him, and be would call the next morn-
ing, having

eveniniz, and the enthusiasm which was created in the
crowded theatre by the appearance of the great Eng-
lish tenor in the orchestra was immense ; his recep-
tion was magnificent. He was in excellent voice, and
never have we heard Beethoven's far-famed " Ade-
laida" more beautifully rendered than it was on Sa-
turday evening by Mr. Sims Reeves. He
afterwards sang Bellini's delicious " A to o
care," with exquisite intensity of expression.
The regular operatic quartette version of this de-
lightful composition was given, and Mr. Sims
Reeves was admirably supported by Mrs. Alexander
Newton, M. Jules Lefort, and M. Jules Stockhausen.
In the second part he sang Balfe's beautiful ballad
"In this old chair," with such intense pathos as to
secure for it an unanimous and enthusiastic encore.
Mademoiselle Angri sang Rossini's " Cie] Pietoso," from
the opera of Zelmira. Her rich contralto tones told with
immense effect in this far-famed cavatina, which she
was called upon to repeat, as a matter of course.
Madame Biscaccianti sang Alexander Lee's beautiful
aria " La Napolitaine" very smoothly and pleasingly,
and was much applauded. The first part commenced
with Beethoven's sympathy in C, the performance of
which by the orchestra, under the excellent direction
of Balfe, was as near an approach to perfection as
may be. The second part opened with the overture
to Masaniello, which was performed with infinite
spirit, and rapturously encored. The house was
crowded.
