MANSION-1 0 USE.—(THIS DAY.)
John Crosby, alias Captain Crosby, was this morning
plt:ced et the tar, charged with defrauding Mr. George
Taylor of seleriti sums of money, and a barometer.
The whole of the evidence which was very volumin-
ous, having been read over,
The prisoner was committed for trial.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
John Deed and Robert Marshall were charged with
the following attempt at robbery :
Mr. Straub, watchmaker, of 179, High Holborn, de-
posed that last evening, about eight o'clock, be was in
his shop, when he heard one of the panes of glass in the
front window smash. On turning round he saw a hand
trying to grasp a valuable gold watch. Witness rushed
out, and collaring Deed, gave the other prisoner also into
custody. They said they did it purposely, as they were
in want.

Insrector Howard ttated that never in his life had be
seen two min devour more ravenously their food than
did the prisoners last night, when some victulls was
given them.
Mr. HENRY—What do you say in answer to the
charge? The prisoners—We have been seeking men,
but being disabled, we are unable to go back again to the
service, and for the last four or five weeks we have been
literally starving. Unable to bear our state any longer,
we determined on committing a robbery, as we wanted
to be transported, and we are only sorry we were not
successful in our attempt.
Mr. HENRY committed them both for trial.

RAILWAY COLLISION —On Wednesday evening last,
a little before eight o'clock, a collision took place at the
Black-lane station, on the Lancashire and Yoikshire Railway,
under the following circumstances :—ln consequence of the
Radcliffe races, special trains bad been running several days
between the Bury and Black-lane statione, and at the time of
the occurrence a train was at the Black-lane station, near
to the race-ground, taking up passengers for Bury.: A goods'
train proceeding from Bolton to Blue Pits came up before the
other train could be moved out of the way, consequently a
collision took place, which we are happy to say was unat-
tended by the loss of human life. When the train arrived at
Bury many of the passengers were bleeding in consequence
of injuries sustained by the violence of the shock; some had
lost their hats, and ore person had fainted. Many of the
passengers were under the influence of liquor, and the sta-
tion-ground for some time after presented a sad scene of con-
tention. We understand that the signal was properly ex-
hibited at the Black-lane station, and the engine-driver en-
deavoured to check the train, but could not do it effectually
in sufficient time.
The number of public-houses in Liverpool is
1,480, and of beer-shops 760, or in all 2,180. Taking the
population at 850,000, this is one public-house or beer-shop
to every 160 individuals, men, women, and children. Taking
each family to amount to four persons, there is oue public-
house, or beer shop to every forty adult males.

COLLIERS' STRIKE AT ZIONKWEARMOITTH.-
About three hundred of the hewers at Monkwearmouth col-
liery struck work on Monday. They allege, as the cause of
this proceeding, that the owners had changed the mode of
working the coal in 'a portion of the mine, to a system which
is termed the Derbyshire Long-wall. The hewers had been
paid at the rate of 9d. and 10d. per yard for working the
seam, the average price being 9d. ; but the owners had
changed the mode of payment, viz., to pay the men by the
score, which would be a reduction. Ten yards of coal make
one score, which, at the average price of 9d. per yard, would
be 7s. 6d per score; the men for blasting had Is. 6d., the
fillers 2s. 6d., which amounted altogether to Ile. 6d. per
score; and the owners wish to pay them for the same work 83.
per score, and the workmen were to fill and blast the coal
and find their own gunpowder, and be sAject to set out and
lay out, which would amount to a reduction of every coal-
hewer's wages from 2s. to ls. 9d. per day. The strike is not
yet terminated.

An officer of a regiment in Ireland won largely on
the last Derby, but could not get leave from Ireland; he
commissioneda brother officer to settle his book at Tatter-
sall's, and, receiving a letter from a person (to whom he had
lost 151.), concluded that his friend would pay, and took no
notice of the letter. This party, in consequence, posted him
at Tattersall's, and the commander of the district, hearing
of it, compelled the officer to sell out. The officer has
30,0001. a year, and spent 9,0001. a year in the regiment, for
his purse was ever open to the officers and men, and he is
most deeply regretted by all the corps. —Freeman's Journal.
FISHING EXPLOITS IN NOHWAY.—Our townsman,
Mr, J. W. Lascelles, has recently returned from a fishing
excursion in Norway. It appears he was occupied seventeen
snccessive days, from the 27th June to the 16th July, fishing
for salmon in the river Topdal ; he used the fly, and his pis-
catorial operations were continued from five in the morning
until ten o'clock at night. The number of salmon caught
was 175, weighing in the whole 2,1141b5. The weight of
the largest was 321b5., and the least 71bs. On one of the
days he caught 1711bs. weight, and on several other days
1501b5., 1551b5., 1621b5., and 1631b5. The river is now closed
against English anglers.— Liverpool Mercury.
iTo tell what a man says, pay attention to the
tongue. To ascertain what he means, pay attention to the
eye. To talk in opposition to the heart is one of the easiest
things in the world; to icok this opposition is more difficult
than algebra.--.-Eliza Cook's Journai.

Tl3j3 HEIGHT OF IMEIIDENCE.—SOnIe time ago a
fellow was charged in the Glasgow Police-court with steal-
ing a herring barrel from a person in Stockwell-street. After
the charge bad been proved the principal accuser addressed
them agistrate--:" Deed, Sir Bailie, the man at the bar is a
great rogue ' • the stealing of the barrel is naething to come of
his tricks. He stole my sign• board last week, and what does
your Honour think he did wi't ?" Magistrate," That would
be hat .t 1 for me to say." " Wed, sir, I'll tell ye. He brought
it into me own shop wi' my ain name on't, and offered to sell
me't, sr he said he thought it. would Le o' mair use to" me
than uoy body .

The? coal found in Dean Forest is said to be equal
to Val !send, and it is likely loon to be raised-in sufficient
quantitAfs to supply the markets of the West of England.
