CLERKEN WELL—. THIS DAY.)
IV am L'e'e. who described himself !..s a labourer,
Lut hat very little the bppearance or manners f one,
was charged before ]'[r. Tyrwhitt with assault and at-
tempted robbery on the highway.
From the statement of the prosecutor, Mr. George
Underwood, of Chapel-street, Somers-town, it app;,ared
that last night, some time after eleve❑ o'cl,ck, Lo and a
cousin of his were in a pie shop in Brill-row, when the
prisoner came in and abused them in very brutal lan-
guage. They immediately 1, ft, going different ways,
the prusecutor towards his own house, followed by the
prisoner, who continued abusing him for some time,
until at length, getting in front of him, he struck him
violently on the breast with one hand, and with the
other snatched at his gold guard chain, which broke
with the snap, and was pulled through the button-hole
of his waistee at. He was quick enough to seiza the pri-
soner's arm before he could get the chain and watch
away, and after a struggle, during which the prosecutor
called out " police," the prisoner let go the chain and
walked away. Witness followed, determined not to lose
sight of him, and on a constable coming up he gave him
into custody.
The prisoner denied both the assault and the attempted
robbery.—He was committed for trial.

charged with a violent assault on police-constables 190,
43, and 160, of the B division, and also on a constable
named John May, in the employ of the Westminster

him down, and then continues to beat and kick him till
ho was insensible.
Police.constable, 43 B. got prisoner off his brother con-
stable, when he immediately gave him a blow which
knocked him (witness) down. He soon recovered his

came, and with their assistance he had great difficulty in
getting him to the station.

the prisoner a very bad character.
Sentenced to one month's imprisonment for the assaul

ORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
James Leigh, age,' 13, a lad of decent appearance, was
charged before Mr. Arnold with flinging a stone from a
sling at the nine A.M. up-train from Hackney, on the
East and West India Dock Extension Railway.
Mr. James Moss, a gentleman connected with the
railway, atated that a few minutes after nine o'clock that
morning he was in Morning-lane, Hackney, when he
saw the prisoner take up a stone, which he placed in a
sling. The up-train from Hackney, which was full of
passengers, was passing, when he flung the stone from
the sling at the carriages. He instantly laid hold of him.
Mr. ARNOLD observed that it was a most dangerous
offence, and that children were not aware of the effect
of flinging stones at a train, as, from the rapidity with
which the train was wing, the stone struck a person or a
carriage as a shot would from a gun or a pistol.
The father of the prisoner said that his son was not
an ill-disposed boy, and that he thought he did not
mean to fling the stone at the train. Ile was aware of
the danger.
Mr. ARNOLD remarked that the lad wag prepared with
a sling. He could not let the prisoner go without some
Punishment' as it was a very serious offence. In consi-
deration of his youth be should inflict a small fine.
The prisoner was fined 10s., or in default seven days'
imprisonment. The fine was paid. •

ADELPHI THEATRE.
The Adelphi company returned to their own
th(atre from the Haymarket on Wednesday evening
last, and were welcomed back by the enthusiastic
cheers of an audience who occupied every available
portion of the house. Before the opening of the
doors the crowd in the Strand was very great, and
within ten.rninutes afterwards the house was crowded
almost to vuffocation in every part. During the re-
cess it has been entirely redecorated in a most taste-
ful and appropriate mann2r ; the decorations of the
ceiling atkd of the front panels of the boxes are very
beautiful.-- The performances consisted of Giralda,
His Last Legs, Jack in the Green, and The Double-
Bedded Room, they all,went off gloriously, as Adelphi
pieces always go off, amidst shouts of hearty laughter
and enthusiastic applause.

ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
There was a regular overflow at this theatre last
night to witness the third performance of Twelfth
Night, and Mrs. C. Kean's charming personation of
Viola. Not a seat was to be had in either pit or
gallery before the curtain rose, and the boxes, both
private and public, presented a most brilliant array
of enthusiastic spectators. Tile several performers
exerted themselves with even increased effect, as corn-
pared with the representation on Saturday last. Not
a point was lest either by actors or audience, and
there is no doubt but that the play as now acted will
bring in a bumper for many a night to come. At
it 4 conclusion Mrs. Kean appeared before the curtain,
in obedience to a prompt and unanimous call from
every part Uf•the house. The Keeleys :and Wigan
kept the house in a roar from the beginning to the
end of Platonic Attachments. Notwithstanding that
the ballet divertisvment followed, the performances
were concluded by a few minutes after 11 o'clock,
a practice which might be followed with decided ad-
vantage by other theatres, as it would afford ample
time for people-to get home before midnight, and so
finish the pleasure of the evening by talking the play
over during supper.

TUE WATERFORD AND LIMERICK
On Wednesday the Earl of Glengall and the directors of the
Waterford and Limerick Railway, held a meeting at their
office in Limerick. Mr. Dargan attended, and it is supposed
the works for the completion of the line will very soon be un-
dertaken.

THE LATE EXPLOSION AT SEAFORD.--We learn
from a person who was at Seaford yesterday, that the late
high tide has washed away a considerable portion of the
chalk which was forced into the sea by the late explosion ;
and that unless something is done to prevent further inroads
of the sea upon the mound, the effect which was sought to
be established is likely to be lost. Although the explosion
was most satisfactory to those who performed the operation,
we hear that the result is not so to other parties, who ex-
pected that the dislodged portion of the cliff would have
formed a more extended breakwater, by falling in larger
masses of chalk: Time alone can show what advantage will
be obtained from the experiment.—Brighton Gazette.
REALITY .OF A DREAM.—A most wonderful cir-
cumstance, which a dream has been the means of bringing
to light, happened yesterday in this town. Mr. Deruze,
who died suddenly on Monday last, was supposed to have
been a wealthy man, and that his ready money would have
amounted to a considerable sum. His effects were taken
possesSion of by a gentleman of this town, and a strict and
rigorous search instituted for his will, and of course money
was expected to have been met with in his trunks, drawers,
desks,.&c. The amount found was a mere trifle, we believe
not amountingin all to 161. Astonishment was at its height,
and it appearedeincredible that no more came to light. On
Wednesday night, however, a young woman named Annie
Waite, of. this town. " dreamed a dream " to the following
effect viz., " That if a certain escrutoire were searched at
twelve o'clock yesterday, a large quantity of money would.
be found." This dream was laughed at by some, but it was
at last carried to the ears of a gentleman who had the effects
of the- deCeased under his charge, and, proceeding to the
place indicated, a search was made, and rewarded by the
finding of forty doubloons and about thirty or upwards of
gold two-dollar pieces. What makes it more singular is,
that the desk had been searched the day previous, but the
money was concealed in• a back part, and probably would
have remained there for years, had it not been for Annie
Waite's golden dream. —Montego Bay Union (Jamaica paper).
GAS COMPANIES.---Mr. Hume has obtained a
return, which was yesterday printed, containing an account
for the last three years of the price charged by all the gas
companies in the United Kingdom for gas at the rate of
1,000 cubic feet, with the price of coils in the period, and
the capital invested by each company. The Honourable
lember procured a similar return about three years ego.
MANSION HonsE.—The Lord Klaynr has issued
cards of invitation for a banquet to be giveu in the Egvptian
llall, on W ednesday, the 16th inst., to the leading Cankers
nod the principal merchants in the city of London, ee well as
to the masters, wardens, and clerks of a major part et the
City companies, and several distinguished private friends.

SPEARING TunEs.--A medical gentleman in Ply-
mouth' has adopted the excellent plan of fixing a gutta
percha mouth-piece by the side of his bell-handle at the
street door, and attached to the mouth-piece is a long gutta
percha tubing, which reaches to his bed. In the night. when
the bell is rung, the tube, which bangs suspended by the
bedside, is itnmediately resorted to, and a conversation is
carried on without the necessity of the doctor even rising
from his pillow. This is a very great convenience, and pre-
vents the necessity of that exposure to a cold atmosphere,
W hich must frequently prove very prejudicial to medical
ea..-Plymouth and .Devon Journal, Sept. 26.
