the Directors of the Real del 11Ionte Mining Company, came before
the Loan Mavon to contradict the. statement made respecting

intoxication got his scull fractured at the Island of Madeira,
and when they landed at Tanipico his habits of drunken,
Thu occasioned his being sent back: They denied positively,

of the natives had been drowned by the breaking in of the water.
No water had broken in.

A set of nitre blacks, with white turbans on their heads, *ere
brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge: of having
created an
obstruction iu the street by collecting a crowd. '
The officers found them moving, with a crowd of two or three
hundred persons after them. The blacks were decorated with
placards, describing the attractions of an American Giantess, who,
it was said, is only 18 years of age, and is already upwards of
beven feet high. The placards represented that the exhibition
was under the patronage of the Lord Mayor.
Mr. Brown; the. Marahall, said, that although his Lordship had
patronized the exhibition, yet the officers conceived, that he could
not have sanctioned the mode of proceeding by parading such a
phalanx about the streets.

The Loan MAYOR. that whether the men were blacks or
whites, he should.not permit them to obstruct the streets. He
had consented to the exhibition, but he could not permit such a
mode of advertizing, nor would he permit any of these walking
placards when they created an obstruction.
Upon the assurace of Mr. Tadman,
that this mode of proceed-
ing, by marching rank and file, of show-men, through the streets,
should not be continued—the blacks were discharged.

CITY Ptcxrocxxvs.--The City has been,
GUILDHALL.—(Turs Day).
for a length of time,
infested with a gang of young vagabonds, who dart on almost every
person's pocket, and plunder it of its contents; and although the
Officers, with their well-known vigilance, are continually on the
alert, they seldom or ever succeed so as to bring them to justice.
This morning a well-known character, named Sullivan, was
brought before Mr. Alderman Baowis, charged with extracting a
silk pocket handkerchief from Mr. Richards, an ironmonger. in
Upper Thames-street, as he was passing along Holborn last night,
about half-past eight o'clock. The case was fully made out, and
the prisoner was committed.

Another fellow, named James Read, was remanded for picking
the pocket of a gentleman named Stringer, belonging to the Bank
of England, a night or two ago, of his pocket handkerchief, also on
Holhorn-hill, The gentleman not being in attendance, a summons
was issued to procure it.

BOW.:STREET—Cimis Dar.!
Several unfortunate girls were hi-Might up by the watchman for
misconduct in the streets last night. One of them, seemingly
about thirteen years old, told the watchman, on taking her to the
watchhouse for making use of obscene language, that she did not
care a pin about him, the utmost he could do was to send her for
a month to Brixten, where she bad been sent a dozen times before ;
after the watchman had stated these facts, and also the unmen-
tionable language which she made use of, the prisoner admitted
that she had made use of the words she was charged with.
Mr. Mixsuut.l.---Then you must go to the House of Correc..
tion for a month.

Prisoner—(Alaking a low curtsey), replied, thank you, Sir, and
retired, quite happy in anticipation of the pleasures of the treadmill.
Samuel Meade was charged by Elizabeth Tenant, with having
stolen a silver watch of the value of three pounds. The prosecu-
triz stated, that she resided at llammersmith, where her husband
kept an ironmonger's shop. About one o'clock in the afternoon
of yesterday, she went to the back-yard, to fetch some water, and
on her return she saw the prisoner going out of the hack-par-
lour. She immediately cried out "thief, thief!" whereupon
the priSoner ran off, and on being pursued by several of the neigh-
bours, she saw him fling the watch which was produced into
the garden ; it was her husband's watch, and had been hanging
over the fire-place in the back parlour. This statement having
been corroborated by two other witnesses, the prisoner was asked
if he bad any thing to say in reply ; lie answered that he knew
nothing abOut it ; whereupon he was committed. for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—(THis Dar.)
Julius Guar (called by the watchman Juliet Seaser), a man
of colour, was brought forward on a charge of intoxication. The
watchman stated that he found the prisoner lying dead drunk
upon the pavement about 11 o'clock last night•
The prisoner, upon being asked who he was, said, in a tone
far from dictatorial, that he came from Arbroath, and that he is at
present in the service of General Russel, in George-street. Ha was
taking a drappy last night, and in the course of the evening fell
in with some girls, who kindly robbed him of some money and
his breast-pin.

Mr. Gnirerrit, after having admonished prisoner to abstain
from getting drunk in future, said that he thought he was punished
severely enough by his finale friend, and discharged him.—
C;esar then thanked his Worship, bowed, and mink his exit.
Thomas Wiltshire was charged by William Stock*, atone-
monger, 12H, Edgeware-road, with theft, The complainant
stated, that he took the prisoner into his service about a fort-
night ago; on. , the evening of Tharaday last, he saw a
shilling lying below the counter, and in the morning
it was gone; he observed the sane on Friday 'evening,
and on Saturday morning it was also gone ; he missed
eighteen-pence yesterday morning, and suspecting the pri-
soner, he sent for a watchman, who accordingly came but refused
to search the prisoner. He then sent for a police-officer, but
upon the message being given, prisoner delivered two shillings to
lings were produced. •

Charles Barker, 129, Edgware-road, said that the complainant
stated to him last week, that he suspected the prisoner was guilty
of stealing the money, upon which witness recommended him to
put a particular mark upon some shillings; witness accordingly
marked twenty shillings, with the letters C. and two crosses.
the complainant, and said that was all he had stolen. The two shit=
The two shillings now produced bear these marks.
The prisoner had nothing to say for himself, and was of course
fully committed. ,

QUEEN-SQUARE.—(Txts Dal•.)
Jaris Graham, a girl about 17 years of age, was charged with
having obtained, under a false pretence, one sheet and two gowns,
the property of a Mr. Hatchard. The prisoner had gone to the
house of Mr. Ilatchird, and asked the servant girl for the linen,
saying her mother sent her—she accordingly gave her the above
articles ; but instead of the prisoner taking them home she pledged
the property at a pawnbroker's.
The mother of the girl said she did not send her daughter to
Mr. Hatchard's house, neither had she resided with her for some
days past.

The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence, and she
was ordered to be remanded for further examination.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tros DAY. )
Tni FEMALZ CLus.—Mrs. Mary Jones and Mrs. Sarah
Wood, two respectable looking matrons, the co.stewardesses of a
club called " The Sisters of. Friendship," were brought before
Mr. Sergeant Su.t.ott, to show cause why they scratched Mrs.
Jane Roberts, one of the sisterhood.

The complainant, in stating her case, took some pains to ex-
plain the meaning of the word scratch; it should not be construed
into any act of personal violence, though scratching and biting
were sometimes favourite modes of attack amongst the softer sex ;
but in the present instance scratch was to erase from the books of
the Society.

Mrs. Roberta went on to say that she had been paying into the
Society for several years, awl, although she was one of the oldest
members, the Stewsrdesses thought proper to fine her les., which
she refusing to pay, they took upon them to scratch her off the
Society's books.

Mrs. Jones, the senior Stewardess, attempted to justify the de-
cision. She was in the chair on the night that it was levied, and
she never saw more gross impropriety than what Mr.. Roberts
manifested on the occasion. " I'll assure your Worship that she
was most shameful intosticated, and she would not let one living
soul talk but herself."
Sergeant Stu,ms—l suppose you were all talking together?
Mrs. Jones—Oh dear no, Sir I was calling " silence" till I
was hoarse again.
Sergeant Stra.osi—Will you let me bee the rules?
Mrs.
have added—
Jones—Here they are, Sir, if you please ; and she might

" Order, order, and sobriety,
Are the rules of onr society,
Let hid Worship read them out ;"
For his Worship did read them out, and with all due emphasis
Any member, who apelike out of her turn shall forfeit three-
yence.—Any member who speaks after being called to order by
the Chairwoman, or Stewardesses, shall forfeit sixpence.—Any
member fighting in the room, shell forfeit two shillings and six-
',,..nee,—,Any member coining three times drunk into the club-
room,
shall forfeit ten
shillings,---Any member refusing to pay
fines, shall be expelled by majority of vows.
It appeared, however, that in the present instance, the Stew-
sidesaes had dispensed with the arbitration, eh.use, and set in
judgment on the delinquent themselves, without giving her the
benefit of trial by jury.
sergeant Senior would not sanction this proeeeding,• and or-
dered the complaiuitut to he restored to all the privileges, rights,
d immunities of the Society, with which order the-Stewardeesies
ieluctandy promised to comply.
