MARLIIRO'-STREET.-(TTITS 1) A Y.)

circucasti,nces:
Yesterday morning a gentleman, who gave the name of
Power, csiled at.the theatre and engaged a private box for
himlelf aid party, who were to atter(' the performance in
the evening. He did not then pay for the box, sayicg
that he had not the money on his person, but that he
would do so on his arrival in the evening. At six
o'cLek Mr. Power arrived with a party of ladies, and
then said that he bad not the money, but offered a cheque
far 5/. upon the banlting house of Cox and Gr(.z.nwooo's,
if applicant could return him the diff.renee. Appli-
cant said this tins a very unmmal course, aid declined
to hurl him the money, but at tie same ;itne off ,red to
return him the ditT•irence on the follswing tn)rning if he
left the order cud his address. This be acoordingiy
but the ch, que ss as returned by tho bankyr's on the fol-
lowing day (this morning) marked "no ffects." and on
his repairing to the add ess left by Mr. Power he found
that n.; per-on o! that name resided at the place he de-
ectib. d. He (appiicant) wishsd to know whether he
could not have a summons against Mr. Powi r for
swindling, or whether he should sue him as an ordinary
debtor ?

fits WORSHIP said that as no money bad bran handed
to Mr. Power upon the order he could not be proceeded
against al a swindler, and that the best way would be
to summon him to the County Court.

CLERKEN WELL.-( T HIS DAY.)
William Eche. who described himself as a labourer,
but had very little the appearance or manners of one,
was charged before Mr. T)rwhitt with assault and at-
tempted rubbery on the highway.
From the statement of the prosecutor, Mr. George
Underwood, of Chapel-street, Somers-town, it appeared
that last night, some time after eleven o'clock, he 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 left, going different ways,
the prosecutor towards his own house, followed by the
prisoner, who continued abusing Wm for some time,
until at length, getting in front of him, he struck him
violently on the breast with ono 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 waistcc at. Ho was quick enough to seize 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.:

WESTMIN STER.-(THIS DAY.)
John Lincoln, a private soldier, was brought before
Mr. A'Beckett, who sat in the absence of Mr. Broderip,
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
Improvement Commission.

Policy constable, 190 B, stated that about a quarter to
twelve last night the prisoner was creating a disturbance
at the Coach and Horses public-house, in York-street,
and he was called on to quell it. Immediately on his
interfering prisoner rushed furiously at him and knocked
him down, and then continued to beat and kick him till
he was insensible.
Police-constable, 43 B, got prisoner cff his brother con-
stable, when be immediately gave him a blow which
knocked him (witness) down. He soon recovered his
legs, and kept prisoner at bay till two other constables
came, and with their assistance he had great difficulty in
getting him to the station.
The prisoter's sergeant was in attendance, and gave
the prisoner a very bad character.
Sentenced to one month's imprisonment for the assault
on 190, and another month for the assault on 43.

ORSHIP-ST REET.—(TH IS DAY.)
Janiev Leigh, age 1 13, a lad of decent appearance, was
charged before Mr. Arnold with flinging a stone from a
sling at the nine A. Wit. up-train from Hackney, on the
East and West India Dick Extension Railway.
Mr. James Moss, a genth :ran connewed with the
railway, gated that a few minutes after nine o'clock that
Morning, he was in Morning-lane, Hackney, when he
Bay the prisoner take up a stone, which he placed in a
sling. The up train from Hackney, which was full of
pastengers, 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 g, log. 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. He was aware of
the clang„..
Mr. ARNOLD remarked that the lad was 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
theatre 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 minutes afterwards the house was crowded
almost to suffocation in every part. During the re-
cess it has been entirely redecorated in a most taste-
ful and appropriate manner ; the decorations of the
ceiling and 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 allwent off gloriously, as Adelpbi
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 rosy, and the boxes, both
private and public, presented a most brilliant array
of enthusiastic spectators. Tne several performers
exerted themselves with even increased effect, as com-
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
its conclusion Mrs. Kean appeared before the curtain,
in obedience to a prompt and unanimous call from
every part of 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 divertissement 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.

TRU WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.-
On Wednesday the Earl of Glengall and the directors of the
Waterford and Limerick Railway, held a meeting at their
ollice 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, whiclf 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 amounting in all to 161. Astonishment was at its height,
and it appeared incredible 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 bock part, and probably would
have remained there for years, had .it not been for Annie
Waite's golden clream.—Mont;To Boy 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
1,003 cubic feet, with the price of coals in the period, and
the capital invested by each company. The Honourable
Member procured a similar return about three years ago.
MANSION HonsE.---The Lord Mayor has issued
Chall, ards of invitation for a banquet to be given in the Egyptian
on Wednesday, the 16th inst., to the leading bankers
and the principal merchants in the city ( f London, as well as
to the matters, wardens, and clerks of a major part of the
City companies, and several distinguished private friends.
A Retavans LT AlivAiffs lioTen.—Sir Lewes and
Lady Carnegie, from Eaton Park. Departures from ditto :
Sir Thomas and Lady Rokewoode Gage, for their seat, lien-
grove Hall, Suffolk; la Coontes!e de Alcoy and family, for
Prance: the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, for Italy;
Lord and Lady Farnham, for the continent.
SPEAKING TUIIES.—A medical gentleman in Ply-
mouth has adopted the excellent plan of fixing a motta percha mouthpiece 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 immediately 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,
which must frequently prove very prejudicial to medical
tlaeriee-Plymouth and Devon Journal, Sept. 26.

OVER,L AND MAIL

I N 1) I A.
We have received letters and papers in anticipz.-
:on cf the Overland Mail.

The dates of the intelligence brought by this", ar-
rival are—Bombay, August 31 ; and Alexandria, Sep-
tember 23.

Pull particulars as to the ttate of our Indian pos-
-8"i"S will be found in the following summary of a
corrapondent at Bombay :
" BOMBAY, A UG. 31.

" British India is pn founcily tranquil; and even
Eishitwur has become as quiet and safe as the ave-
rage of Indian staticns. A new pass is being sur-
veyed to K.ihat, which, if found practicable for guns,
will, it is stated, render our communications with that
post independent of the Affseedies.
" Lord Dalhousie is still enjoying himself at Che-
nee, a mountain village situated amongst the Hirca-
layas, about 120 miles north-west of Simla. Sir C.
Napier is expected to arrive at Bombay in November
(via the Punjaub and Sinde), on his way to Europe.
"Civil war still rages in the Nizam's territories
with varying fortune. The defeat of the Nawaub of
Elichpoor, reported by last mail, was not so de-
cisive as was at first anticipated. By the last
accounts the Nawaub had rallied his forces, and
on the 9th of August gained a considerable victory
over the N;zam's troops. The inhabitants of the
country are fighting for the Nawaub, who appears very
popular. The Nizam's household troops have again
mutinied, on account of their long arrears of pay.
His Highness is, it is said, resorting to the most
discreditable means for raising money, by debasing
his coinage, and selling immunity for crime to rich
offenders.

"In the native state of Oude another British
officer (Lieutenant P. Orr) has nearly fallen a vic-
tim to the anarchy and misgovernment prevailing
there.

" Very extensive frauds have been discovered in the
Bengal Commissariat department, and are now under
investigation. _

" Captain Impy, of the Madras army, Assistant-
Commissioner in the Tenasserim provinces, has de-
serted, and fled into the Burmese territory, where he
has been treated as he deserved, having been stripped
of everything valuable, and is now wandering about
the jungle in a state of destitution.

" The Prince of Muneepore, Kheertee Singh, has
escaped from Dacca (where he was detained as dan-
gerous to the tranquillity of an adjrcent state), and
reconquered his inheritance from the usurper who
had expelled him.
" Ninety coal boats have been wrecked while na-
vigating the Damooda from the Burdwan collieries to
Calcutta.

" Sir T. V. Stonehouse has been appointed provi-
sional member of Council at Madras.

" The rainy season has been generally in Western
India an avenge one, but with some local exceptions•
At Bombay little more than half the usual average
has fallen.

" Lord Falkland is recovering from a severe attack
of fever. Sir Willoughby Cotton has also been suf••
fering from indisposition.
" The Bombay business season has opened pro-
misingly ; the price of cotton wool has risen 12r. or
14r. per candy, but very little now remains in the
market."
