BOW7STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Cole, alias Cotter, who stands charged with
hocussing and robbing Peter Thwaitos, a fruiterer in
Covent-garden Market, of moneys amounting to 3001.,
was agai❑ placed at the bar.
Mr. Lucas, landlord of the Mercer's Arms, the public-
house in which the robbery was committed, deposed that
he remembered Mr. Thwaitea coming into his
house alone on Friday aft-rnoon, 9th Augu-t,
about four o'clock. He was sober. He called
for a glass of ale. There . wt-re four men at the
bar. Aft•.r holding a conversation with them
he called for another glass c.f ale, and then tossed
two of the men for a bottle of wine. The prosecutor
lost four bottles, which he paid for. Witness could not
say that the prisoner was one of the four men pre-
sent. After they had been drinking for about half an
hour, the men left the house, and on witness going
round the counter he found Mr. Thwaites lying on the
ground quite insensible. He appeared to be in a stupor,
and witness had no doubt that he was drugged by those
who wt re tsith him. On the arrival of his friends he
was immediately taken home.
As some cheques and a 51. Bank of England note have
been sent back to Mr. Thwsites, the solicitor for the
prosecution begged for another remand, but
Mr. HENRY thought there was sufficient to commit
him,—Accordingly committed.

MARLBRO'.STREET.-(THIS DAY)
ASSAULT AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE. - Joseph
Shetfoni was brought betoro Mr. Bingham charged with
creating a disturbance at the Queen's Theatre, Totten-
ham-street, and assaulting William West, the constable.
Complainant stated that last night he was called into
the gallery for the purpose of quelling a disturbance,
when his attention was•called to the prisoner, who ap-
peared to be the leader of the row. Witness went up
to him, and told him if he did not keep quiet
he (witness) should feel it his duty, for the comfort
of the rest of the audience, to turn him out.
TEe prisoner then abuse.; him in the most
filthy terms ; and, a the performance was
interrupted, witness seized him by the collar and took
him out. On arriving at the top of the gallery stairs
the prisoner laid hold of him by the collar, struck him
on the head, and tried to throw him down stairs. Wit-
ness, however, kept his hold of the prisoner, and suc-
ceeded in getting him into the st: ^t, when other as-
sistance having arrived, the prisoner was secured, and
conveyed to the station.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fined 205.,
in default to be committed for seven days.

THE INDIAN PRESS.—The following is a leading
article of the filofussilite, quoted entire, on a subject which
has lately created no ordinary sensation in this country—,
" The Gorham case—damn the Gorham case:"

The East Indian Railway Company paid on
Saturday the further sum of ~1,2041. into the Treasury at
the India House, making the total sum paid here upwards of
435,0001- and the Great Indian Peninsular Company on
Saturday paid in 42,000 f. The whole of these sums bear
interest at 5 per cent. under the guarantee of the Indian Go-
vernment.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.—The numbers
of objections taken against freemen is 170. There are only
four claims. To householders there are upwards of 1,500
objections, and only 380 claims. The revision is expected to
occupy three weeks.

The official inquiry into the death of four Irish-
men who were drowned in endeavouring to escape across the
North Channel from Sunk Island, in the East Riding, from
the pursuit of several English " navvies," terminated on Sa•
turday list. The jury haye sat altogether ten days, have
examined no fewer than 79 witnesses, and have at length
returned a verdict of manslaughter against two men named
Bielby and James Brown, who stand committed to York for
trial at the next assizes. From the peculiar circumstances of
the case, the coroner has declined to allow the publication of
the depositions. There is no doubt that a conspiracy existed
to raise the wages of the district, which conspiracy even-
tually merged into another to drive the Irish from the works.
Four men have been committed for trial at the next Bever-
ley sessions on this charge.

A CURIOUS BURDEN.—We noticed a few weeks
since the curious fact of a duck swimming about in a pond
with a young chicken on her back, and have now to match
it with an incident in a different quarter of the animal king-
dom. The toad is not a very lovely creature, but under the
forbidding hide of it there are insticts in which one might
trace a shade of beauty. On Monday last a party of young
ladies were enjoying a walk in Mr. Turnbull's nursery
grounds, and in coming on the road near the Hatton, leading
down to the Dundee-road, they observed a large toad, with
a family of seven, seemingly on the way of removal to a
new settlement. For some time they watched its more•
ments, and were not a little amused to see the young ones all
get on the back of their parent, who then moved away with
them, evidently heavily loaded, yet willing to bear her
burden. She wended her weary way down towards the
Manse of Kinnoull, which, by the time the young ladies
had finished their walk, she had nearly reached. We would
hope that this incident will not be lost upon our youthful
readers, but will help to shield the toad race from the boyish
persecution to which it is unreasonably subjected.—Perth.

FUNERAL OF RAMO SAMEE.—The mortal remains
of this once celebrated Indian juggler were interred on
Sunday afternoon in old St. Pancras Churchyard. The
body was f .Ilowed to the grave by a large concourse of spec.
tatorr.

CHATHAM, SATURDAY. AIELANCHOLY ACCI-
DENT.-A melancholy accident occurred to a child, three
years of age, belonging to :_zanmel Langridge, leaning man of
shipwrights. It appears a fire had beat lighted, in the
morning for the purpose of pre- 'ring breakfast, when the
child going too near the fire p' its chemise caught fire,
and in the absence of the nur,3 (the mother being in her
confinement), the mother jumped out of bed, and flew to
the assistance of the child, and by enveloping it in a blanket
extinguished the fire, but not before the child had received so
mach injury as to cause its death this morning. The mother,
in endeavouring to save the child, hid both her hands burned
in a most shocking manner, and is in a very precarious con-
dition from the fright.
