INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY

IN RE WM. ANDREWS.
The COURT gave judgment in this matter. The insolvent
had formerly been a solicitor carrying on business at Man-
chester, in partnership with another person named Hulme.
The insolvent having been arrested, applied to the Court for
the relief of insolvent debtors at Lancaster, when he was
opposed by Mr. Hulme, on the grounds of having contracted
debts by means of a breach of trust, when he was remanded
for twelve months. He then moved for a rule nisi from this
Court, in order that he might be reheard. The grounds
upon which he moved for a rehearing were—first, that there
was no debt ; secondly, that there had been no breach of
trust ; and, lastly, that if there had been, it had been waived
by a subsequent arrangement of the matter.
Mr. Commissioner POLLOCK said, that after the Court had
carefully considered all the bearings of the case, they felt
bound to discharge the rule upon all the grounds.
Mr. COOKE inquired whether the Court had the power of
giving costs ?
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he regretted to say they
had not.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A man named Camp was charged with assaulting an Ita•
Tian, named Mariotti.

Mr. John Davis, of 18, Claremont-place, Clerkenwell, de-
posed that he saw the prisoner standing opposite the com-
plainant in a fighting attitude, near the Golden Anchor
public-house, Coppice-row. He did not see the cqmplainant
strike the prisoner; but the prisoner struck Mariotti on the
face, and made his mouth bleed. lie then ran away, but
Police-sergeant Archer, after a smart rade, overtook and ar-
rested him.

The prisoner, in defence, said he had been drinking with a
female in the Golden Anchor. The female did not like the
noise of the organ which the complainant was playing out-
side the door, and asked hlm to tell the organ player to go
away. He did so, but Mariotti immediately drew a knife
from beneath the green cloth which covered the organ, and
threatened to stab him with it. He then struck him on
the mouth.

The MAGISTRATE inquired if the prisoner had said any-
thing about the knife on the previous night, and if the com-
plainant had one on his person?
Police-sergeant Archer, 8 G, said the knife had been found
on his person, and the prisoner had stated that the com-
plainant had threatened to stab him.
The MAGNTRATE remarked that those Italian organs were
sometimes a great nuisance ; but even if the Italian had pulled
out his knife, it did not justify the prisoner in striking him.
He would fine him 7s.

UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Thomas Mason was charged before Mr. Traill with
wilfully destroying the cushion and inside lining of a cab,
on the preceding night.
The driver of the cab stated that he was engaged by the
defendant on Cornhill, and on setting him down in Stamford-
street it was discovered that the cushion and the inside lining
of the vehicle were cut to pieces. The defendant was in the
act of making off when he was stopped and given into
custody.
The defendant said he dined at a public dinner, and having
drank a great deal of wine got into the defendant's cab, but
had no recollection of having damaged it in the way described.
The defendant was adjudged to pay 3/. for the damage, be-
sides costs.

Ann Head, a girl of fifteen years of age, was charged with
robbing her mistress of ten sovereigns, and also a watch-
chain and seals.

It appeared that the prisoner had on frequent occasions of
late attended a penny concert, without the knowledge of her
mistress, where she brined very bad acquaintances. On the
Friday morning the complainant found that the drawers in
her bed-room had been forced open with a knife, and that
ten sovereigns, together with a watch-chain and seals, had
been abstracted. It was then discovered that the prisoner
had absconded, and the same night she was found amongst
the motley company at a penny concert in the Mint. On
examining her 41. 17s. of the stolen money was found in her
possession, having expended the remainder, and the watch
was at her side.—She was committed.

DOVER, JUNE 3, 1844.—(FROM OUR CORRES-
PONDENT.)—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and her suite,
arrived by special train of the South-Eastern Railway,
shortly before noon to-day, and immediately embarked on
board the Princess Alice steamer, Captain Smitbill, for Calais.
Her Majesty was received by Col. Jones, the Commandant,
Captain Mercer, R.N., the Mayor of Dover, &c., and was at-
tended by a guard of honour from the 68th regiment. A
royal salute was fired from the western heights on her arrival,
and the same compliment paid as she left the harbour. Her
Majesty will have a fine passage of about two hours and a
elf to Calais.

CAUTION.—A correspondent, whose own late ex-
perience enables him to speak with authority, suggests that
it is a practice for women, in league with burglars, to adver-
tise for situations as domestic. servants, and to take advantage
of the opportunity of gaining admission to respectable houses
thus afforded them to reconnoitre the premises, and to observe
what bolts, bars, or fastenings, are likely to impede the
operations of their friends. A late case of burglary in the
neighbourhood of the Hampstead-road would seem to favour
this supposition.
