LAW AND POLICE.

At Bury St. Edmund's, Robert Barber, James Barber.
and George Nunn were indicted for assaulting Robert
Bonnet on the Queen's highway, and stealing from his
person 6d. and some haifpence. They were all found
guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. The
assize intelligence is generally destitute of interest.
`At Guildhall, Sarah Sharp, aged 27, a servant out of
place, residing with her parents in Aylesbury-street,
Clerkenwell, was charged with attempting to drown
herself at Blackfriars-bridge on Sunday night. William
Short, of Gravel-lane, Southwark, stated that as he
was passing over the bridge he saw the prisoner run
down the steps and plunge into the water. She got en-
tangled with the ropes of a barge, and he called to her
to hold on while he obtained assistance. He found a
policeman, and they went down with the drags. She
had sunk, but the drag caught her on the first throw,
and she was recovered with some difficulty. The pri-
soner, who seemed scarcely recovered from the death-
struggle, said she would never do such a thing again.
Sir John Key, after making some further inquiry, and
satisfying himself that the attempt was made in earnest,
and not to excite charity, discharged the prisoner, giving
her mother two sovereigns from the poor-box, that she
may get her service again.
John Smith, a policeman in the H division, was charged
before Mr. Broughton, at Worship-street, with having
stolen two packets, containing various articles of sta-
tionery, from the shop of Mr. Abraham Somers, a book-
seller and stationer in Sandy's-row, Petticoat-lane, White-
, chapel, and committed for trial.
At Marlborough-street James Trigg, a dustman, was
brought up for final examination, charged with having
stolen between three .and four hundred pounds, in bank
notes and gold, from the person of a young man named
Thomas Rayne. The prosecutor had recently had a
considerable legacy left him by a relative. He was
drinking about in various places on Saturday week,
with about 271. in gold, and 3101. in bank-notes
in his pocket, when he met with the prisoner and
another man in a house in the Seven Dials. The party
had some liquor together, and at last they all went to a
house near Soho-square, and had more. Here the coin -
biped effects operated on the prosecutor so strongly that
he went to sleep in the room. When he awoke he missed
both his companions and his money. The greater part
of the notes, however, were afterwards found in the area
of a house in Oxford-street, but the sovereigns, amount-
ing to 271., had disappeared. As the prisoner had been
remanded more than once, and as there appeared to be
no likelihood of obtaining more evidence, Mr. Maltby
ordered him to be discharged.

Miss Caroline Herschell, sister, and for a length of time
assistant, of the late Dr. Herschell, celebrated the 85th
anniversary of her birthday, and was on the occasion
honoured with a visit from the King and the Prince
and Princess Royal. This lady has discovered two
comets, and has published several works, for which the
Astronomical Society of London awArded her, in 1828,

The following trumpery and ridiculous story, which
originally appeared in the Posdata, has gone the round
of the Madrid papers It is stated that, when Es-
partero left 11Iadrid, to bombard Barcelona, a vulture or
raven hovered over his head, from the Palace of Buena
Vista as far as the Prado, and then, after having almost
alighted upon him, suddenly disappeared; whereas,
when the two Queens entered Madrid on the 15th, a dove
entered their carriage, and was carried by Queen Ira-
bella to her palace."
According to accounts from Constantinople of the 18th
ult., the misunderstanding between the Porte and the

/' all his partisans now at the head of the Government.

ThOslotails.of.the .recent " Operations of crur Indian

son with great interest, tuore.particularly as they are
penned in' a dispassionate spirit, and. wholly free from
anything like d party bias. Of the remaining articles
the most entertaining onels an essay " On the Intel-
lectual Powers. of the Negri)," of which the author
is diSPoied' to think more fayourably than the gene-

FREEMASON'S_ QUARTERLY REVIEW.
Under the head of ",Masonic Chit-chat" this
number contains a variety of amusing anecdotes,
chiefly relative to freemasonry, which will, serve the
purpose o'f whiling; away an idle balf-hour very agree-
ably. The statements respecting " Freemasonry in.
Europe during.the- past century" furnish some curi-
ous matter ;, but- decidedly the best article in the
Number is an ". Essay, on Education," from the pen
of Dr: Slade.

An article :entitled ref•.of the Early
Colopial.:Church" leads off this Number, but,'we fear,
it will be attractive to few hut Clerical readers. • The
" TWO Claudes" is a passable poen). ; and the digest

have respectfully to request that you will insert my di
nial of the statement made by the complainant. He di ii
not change a sovereign in my house, as I, seeing th
state he was in when he entered, refused to serve hii, e
with liquors of any kind. He was put out with no mor
violence than was necessary for his ejectment. I har
since made strict inquiries relative to his character. IC
find that, although he has given his address as living f
17, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, he is not kn,ttet
there. I find also that he has deceived the Dtra6st,,aite
to his occupation, which is very different to
he represented. Trusting to your imputifdity to inset*

NEW MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLER

There are several agreeable prose tales in this
Number, chiefly of a sentimental character, together
with a skilfully versified poem,_ addressed to the
Editor—or rather Editress—by Leitch Ritchie. •By
way of embellishment there is a beautiful fancy por-
trait, a half-length, of a young girl, who is repre-
sented kneeling before a crucifix, near an open
window.

CHRISTIAN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
This is the Fourth Number of an ecclesiastical, edu-
cational, literary record and miscellany, and contains,
inter alia, a careful digest of all the clerical intelli-
gence of the past month. Among the original com-
munications is a " Secret History of Tractarianism,"
which takes a decided anti-Pusey view of the question,

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

The intelligence brought by this mail from the
East is of the most satisfactory character. Peace
and tranquillity prevailed throughout the whole
of .the British possessions in India. The affairs of
Gwalior had been finally arranged to the satisfac-
tion of the Governor-General, the young Sovereign
-had• been formally installed on the 20th of January,
in presence of Lord Ellenboiough, the Commander-
in-Chief, and all the military and civil autho-
rities. On the 22d the army of Sindiah was
reviewed in presence of the Maharajah and Chide,
and on the same day it was dissolved, by proclama'

tion, the troops composing it having been directed to
proceed to the several destinations assigned to them•
The Mahratta soldiery, to the number of 20,000, had
laid down their arms and tendered their services to
the Sovereign of Gwalior. On the 23d Lord. Ellen•
borough took his departure for Calcutta, accompanied
by General Grey and the left wing of the army. it
division was left behind until the new army should be
organised, and other arrangements completed. Sind°
was perfectly quiet, and the health of the troops
had materially improved. The Governor-General
had issued a proclamation announcing that an
augmentation of nearly 10,000 men would be re-
quired, ostensibly for Sinde and Gwalior, but 10
reality, we believe, to watch the movements in the •
Punjaub. Some discontent had been exhibited in
two or three of the Bengal and Madras regiments►
who, it appears, have a strong reluctance to the ser-
vice in Sinde; but no feeling of this kind prevailed is
the Bombay army, and several regiments boa
volunteered their services for that district. But
matters there are so tranquil, and so content are the
people under the British sway, that troops are scarcely
required. There is, in fact, no enemy to encounter;
but Sir CHARLES NAPIER iS wisely on his guard+
and will keep up such an army as will prevent ant
plot or surprise on the part of the friends of the de'
posed Ameers. The accounts from China are equally
favourable, and universal peace also reigns in that
quarter. We regret to state, however, that the
massacre of three Catholic bishops, with seventy
Christians, at Corea, is confirmed. They were all
beheaded, and about 180 more were said to have bees
strangled.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Bury St. Edmund's, Robert Barber, James Barber.
and George Nunn were indicted for assaulting Robert
Bonnet on the Queen's highway, and stealing from his
person 6d. and some halfpence. They were all found
guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. The
assize intelligence is generally destitute of interest.
At Guildhall, Sarah Sharp, aged 27, a servant out of
place, residing with her parents in Aylesbury-street,
Clerkenwell, was charged with attempting to drown
herself at Blackfriars-bridge on Sunday night. William
Short, of Gravel-lane, Southwark, stated that as he
was passing over the bridge he saw the prisoner run
down the steps and plunge into the water. She got en-
tangled with the ropes of a barge, and he called to her
to hold on while he obtained assistance. He found a

policeman, and they went down with the drags. She
had sunk, but the drag caught her on the first throw,
and she was recovered with some difficulty. The pri-
soner, who seemed scarcely recovered from the death-
struggle, said she would never do such a thing again.
Sir John Key, after making some further inquiry, and
satisfying himself that the attempt was made in earnest,
and not to excite charity, discharged the prisoner, giving
her mother two sovereigns from the poor-box, that she
may get her service again.
John Smith, a policeman in the II division, was charged
before Mr. Broughton, at Worship-street, with having
stolen two packets, containing various articles of sta-
tionery, from the shop of Mr. Abraham Somers, a book-
seller and stationer in Sandy's-row, Petticoat-lane, White-
chapel, and committed for trial.
At Marlborough-street James Trigg, a dustman, was
brought up for final examination, charged with having
stolen between three and four hundred pounds, in bank
notes and gold, from the person of a young maw named
Thomas Rayne. The prosecutor had recently had a
considerable legacy left him by a relative. He was
drinking about in various places on Saturday week,
with about 271. in gold, and 3101. in bank-notes
in his pocket, when he met with the prisoner and
another man in a house in the Seven Dials. The party
had some liquor together, and at last they all went to a
house near Soho-square, and had more. Here the com-
bined effects operated on the prosecutor so strongly that
he went to sleep in the room. When he awoke he missed
both his companions and his money. The greater part
of the notes, however, were afterwards found in the area
of a house in Oxford-street, but the sovereigns, amount-
ing to 27/., had disappeared. As the prisoner had been
remanded more than once, and as there appeared to be
no likelihood of obtaining more evidence, Mr. Maltby
ordered him to be discharged.

BOMBAY LOCAL.

A subscription is now on foot, and is filling up rapidly,
for the erection of a monument to the memory of Major
Eldred Pottinger. The brass guns in the desert between
Cutch and Sinde are being broken up in small pieces,
and sent to the Presidency on bullocks, to furnish metal
for the column to be erected by Government at Bombay,
in honour of the victory of Meeanee. A subscription
has been opened to receive money to assist in the libera-
tion of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly, now be-
lieved to be alive in Bokhara.
The London mail of the 6th January reached Bombay
on Sunday morning, Feb. 11, per Victoria steamer. This
was the largest mail which has ever reached Bombay—
amounting to 37,396 letters, and 44,667 papers. The
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Bentinck
reached Point de Galls from Aden on the 10th, Madras
on the 14th, and Calcutta on the 18th of February, with
dates from England of the 6th of January ; but, through
some unexplained cause, the heavy mails for those places,
instead of being sent on direct by her, were, as usual,
forwarded to Bombay. The Bombay express, with the
first portion of the Overland Mail, reached Madras on
the 16th, and Calcutta on the 19th. The Bentinck made
the distance from Calcutta to Suez, and vice versa, in
the shortest space of time on record. The number of
deaths which occurred on the island of Bombay during
the month of January was 1,100, 252 of which were
from cholera, which disease seems to have settled down
into one of the ordinary maladies of the place. Her
Majesty's ship Thalia, 42 guns, Captain Charles Hope,
got under weigh on Thursday afternoon, the 15th, for
New South Wales and the Pacific station, but got on
shore on the Prongs shoal, off the lighthouse. As it
was young flood, she was got off in about ten minutes,
but Captain Hope thought it advisable to return and
take up an outside berth till the ship's bottom was ex-
amined. On examination, it was found that there was
no reason to suppose any damage had been sustained
beyond the false keel being rubbed in some places. The
vessel proceeded on her voyage on the morning of
Sunday, the 18th.

SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

The details of the recent " Operations of our Indian
army in Gwallior," will be read at this particular sea-
son with great interest, more particularly as they are
penned in a dispassionate spirit, and wholly free from
anything like a party bias. Of the remaining articles
the most entertaining one is an essay " On the Intel-
lectual Powers of the Negro," of which the author
is disposed to think more favourably than the gene-
rality of people.

FREEMASON'S QUARTERLY REVIEW.
Under the head of " Masonic Chit-chat" this
number contains a variety of amusing anecdotes,
chiefly relative to freemasonry, which will serve the
purpose of whiling away an idle half-hour very agree-
ably. The statements respecting " Freemasonry in
Europe during the past century " furnish some
i curi-
ous matter ; but decidedly the best article n the
Number is an " Essay on Education," from the pen
of Dr. Slade.

MISCELIA.A ho US.

Considerable mystery attaches to the movements of
the Governor-General, who was expected in Calcutta
about the 26th of February—the second anniversary of
the day of his advent to India, which he was said to be
desirous of solemnising at the seat of government. He
had left his secretaries behind him, and as no official no-
tification had been made of his departure from the
north-west, it was supposed likely that he might speedily
return to watch from the other side of the Sutlej the affairs
of the Puujaub. The eyes of the good folks of Calcutta
have, this month for the first time, been gratified with
the arrival and departure of a couple of Suez steamers.
The Hindostan left on the 13th, with 103 passengers on
board—she took the ground when well down the river,
but after some delay was got off again without damage;
the Beatinck arrived from Suez on the 18th, after a
beautiful run of twenty-four days. She brought with
her 41 passengers. Singularly enough the number of
letters and newspapers to and from Bombay appears as
yet in no way to be diminished by the amount sent by
the Calcutta steamers. A shock of earthquake was ex-
perienced at Trincomalee on February 12; it seems to
have occasioned little or no damage. The Nawab of
Surat has sent home a memorial by the present steamer,
claiming from the Court of Directors the restoration of
an annuity of 15,0001. a year, guaranteed to the grand-
father of his wife, his heirs, and successors, by treaty
with the British Government of 1800, in lieu of the go-
vernment and revenues of Surat, then made over to us
on threat of violence. The suspension of payment took
place on the death of the late Nawab, the last of the male
line of the royal house—the treaty being understood to
include both male and females. ,

We are bound not to pass over in silence the loss which
our society has sustained in the death of Mr. Sutherland,
late Secretary to the Law Commission.
