BOW•STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A rather decently dressed woman, who gave her name
as Anne Cleary, was charged with knocking down an oil-
painting, the property of Mr. Samuel Hart, a picture-
dealer, in Great Wild-street.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner, yesterday
afternoon, came deliberately up to his shop-window, and
knocked down a picture of Faith, Hope, and Charity,
that was hanging there. She did this without saying a
word, and he told her to go away, and she did so, but
came back a short time afterwards, and fastened a piece
of paper on the picture, upon which was written, " Take
this picture down."
Mr. TWYFORD inquired if the figures in the picture
were represented naked? Mr. Hart said the picture
was a female and her little children, which were naked.
The prisoner, in her defence, said the picture was an
indelicate one.
Mr. TWYFORD did not think she had a good taste.
The prisoner again said that the picture had offended
her sense of delicacy.. She would,
_however, take no
notice of such a thing in future.
Mr. TWYFORD said that was a very good resolve, for
if she took notice of such things she would have nothing
else to do.
Mr. Hart said if the prisoner would promise not to go
near his shop again, he would not press the charge.
The prisoner gave the required promise, and was dis-
charged.

CLERKENWELL._(THIS DAY.)
James Waller was charged with wounding John
Mathews. It appeared from the evidence that on the
evening of the 6th ult. the prisoner, prosecutor, and se-
veral other men of their trade (bricklayers) were drink-
ing together at a beer-shop in Compton-street, Clerken-
well.UMathews was standing outside the door in conver-
sation with a man named Doyle, when the prisoner
came over, and in insulting language reproached
the prosecutor with having done him an injury some
time before ; the latter replied warmly, whereupon
Waller seized him by the collar and threw him in the
kennel, and kicked him whilst lying on the ground
until he was insensible, when it was found that his
right thigh bone had been fractured.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Six young men in the garb of mechanics were charged
with creating a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre.
The defendants went into the gallery, and had not
been there long before they commenced making such a
noise as to interrupt the peformance, as•on the appear-
ance of each actor they called out, " Off, off." The
policeman on duty in the theatre went up to try and
prevent such an interruption ; and in his endeavours he
was attacked by four of the parties, and very ill used,
as also were some other persons who went to his assist-
ance.
Mr. TRAILL inflicted fines of 40s. each on the chief
aggressors, and made the others enter into their recog-
nisances to keep the peace.

TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.
So determined a set was made against Ithuriel, that at
one time it appeared " all up" with him. sto 1 was then
laid to between four and five hundred pounds, and the
takers, for a moment, were choked off ; 6 to I was then
laid to upwards of 1001., but the layer refusing to go on,
confidence was partially restored, and two or three other
bets were booked at sto 1. Nothing less, we believe,
was taken. The effect of this movement was to give
most of the other favourites a lift, and more particularly
Red Deer, Valerian, and Foig-a-ballagb ; the betting,
however, irrespective of Ithuriel, was far from brisk.

BRUSSELS, Ana. 27.—1 t is generally known at Ant-
werp that the number of Belgian sailors is not sufficient
for our merchant service, and that our shipowners are
almost always obliged to engage foreigners to complete
their crews.
In order to remedy this inconvenience and to procure
for the country a number of sailors equal to its wants, it
had been agreed between the departments of the Marine
and of Justice to take in the depots of mendieity all the
youths of good character and robust constitution, and
put them, with the consent of their parents, on board
Belgium ships as cabin boys for a term of eight years.
Of course, the Government will choose only such lads as
have not been condemned for theft or other serious
offences.
The Russian Government, in order to obviate in future
accidents on the railroad, has constituted, at Berlin, a
school for the special purpbse of giving instruction in the
art of conducting locomotives. The number of pupils is
fixed at 400. The annual payment to be made by each
pupil is very moderate, and the course of instruction is
completed in one year.
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Ana. s.—lntelligence has just
been received that Prince Masoevitz, formerly English
Consul at Novi-Bazar, has been assassinated by the
Turks about two miles from the Servian frontier, on the
road to Mokro Gora. His attendant, a Christian from
Herzegwina, escaped. The family of the murdered
Prince has lived for some years in Belgrade, in a 'very
retired manner, and is universally respected.
WARSAW, Aro. 21.—8 y an Imperial rescript just
published, the inhabitants of Poland, of both sexes, are
not to have passports for foreign countries till they are
full twenty-five years of age. The exceptions are mer-
chants, their agents, carriers'. children accompanying
their patents or tutors, and, wives travelling with their
husbands. Sons, however, from the age of ten to
eighteen, are not to be taken abroad without a spe-
cial permission, for which application must be
made to the Governor, and which is not to be granted
except for important reasons. 'All persons, except those
who are sent abroad by the Government, and some others,
