At the York Assizes Henry Hargreaves was convicted
of a burglary in the house of Ann Sharp, at Mirfield, on
the Ist of October last, and sentenced to be transported
for life.

The trials at the Worcester Assizes commenced on
the 3d, but none of them possessed any feature of public
interest. The bill of indictment against Mr. Hassell,
charged with the murder of his wife, was to be presented
to the grand jury on Wednesday.
The Chester Assizes were opened on the 2d by Baron
Gurney. There are 42 prisoners for trial, several of
wham are charged with very serious offences. One of
the cases possesses more than ordinary importance, both
from the character of the offender and the alleged ex-
tent of his crimes. The party accused is Mr. John Ken-
yon Winterbottom, formerly considered a highly respec-
table solicitor, residing at Stockport, in that county, and
whose defalcations, when he absconded from the neigh-
bourhood in 1839, were so extensive as to produce most
serious consequences. lie is now charged with forging
and uttering a bill of exchange for 5,000 L, with intent to
defraud certain parties. The trial is fixed for Thursday

Abont a quarter to nine o'clock on Monday night a
fire was discovered in an immense shed belonging to the
Anderton Carrying Company situated on the north-west
side of the King's Dock, Liverpool The flames were
bursting forth with fearful impetuosity through the
roof, threatening destruction to the neighbouring
sheds, which were stored with tobacco and bales and
cases of Manchester goods. In the course of about
half an to
hour, owing the praiseworthy exertions
of Mr. Hewitt and the fire brigade, who were present to
the number of about seventy, the flames were com-
pletely subdued, and the fire as confined to the
shed
in which it originateoriginated.
The origin of the fire is in-
volved in some degree of mystery, but is supposed to
have been caused by a spark of fire from an engine
now being used in the extension of the King's-pier.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-011 `the 4th instant,
al Fawley Church, in the count
H. Perceval, Rector of Elmley, Worcestershire, and
uncle to the lovely bride Alex. Dundas Ross Wishart
Baillie Cochrane,
Esq., M:P. for Bridport, to Annabella
Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Andrew R. and
of Hants, by the Rev.
Lady Elizabah Drummond, of Cadlands Park, and
grand-daughter of his Grace the Duke of Rutland.
The youthful bride (in her 21st year) was elegantly
attired in white watered silk, a veil of rich Brussels lace,
and her dress trimmed with the same material. The
bridesmaids, Miss Frederica Drummond, Miss Cochrane,
Lady Adeliza Manners, Lady Mary Howard, Lady
Elizabeth Hervey, and Miss Meade, wore dresses of
pink silk and white bonnets. The Noble friends of the
happy pair, comprising the Duke of Rutland, the Mar-
quis of Granby, Earl and Countess of Jermyn, Lord
Edward Howard, Lord John Manners, Lord George
Manners, Mr., Lady Gertrude, and the Misses Stanley;
Sir Thomas Trowbridge, Colonel William Drummond,

pitable seat of Mr. Drummond, from whence the happy
pair took their departure for the Fishery, Denham. There
was a large assemblage of the tenantry and villagers,

turn from church.

There is very little doubt that, by the spring of
the year 1846, a railroad from Dieppe to Rotten will be
in existence. More than sufficient capital is already sub-
scribed ; and the proposition will be laid before the
French Chambers in January next. It is calculated that
the railway, which is to run from Dieppe to the Havre
line, can be completed in about six or eight months.
There will not be a single tunnel, and the cuttings will
be very shallow. The project for a fixed breakwater off
Dieppe, according to the plans of Sir Samuel _Brown, is
also to be brought before the Chamber, in connexion
with the proposed railway. We stated ast week that it
was intended to erect the breakwater opposite the pier ;
but we now hear that such is not the case. It is pro-
posed to erect it opposite the Hotel Royal ; and the
authorities of Dieppe quite approve of Sir Samuel
Brown's plan.—Brighton Gazette.
A LARGE ORDER.—We learn that the Birkenhead
Warehousing Company have engaged by contract the
partners of a celebrated brickmaking firm of the south
of England (who, we believe, made the bricks for the
Eastern Counties Railway) for the supply, against the
next summer, of 50,000,000 bricks, for the building of
their warehouses on the southern margin of Wallasey
Pool; and that within the last week 300 operative brick-
makers have been sent from Kent to Birkenhead, and
have already commenced operations.—Liverpool Paper.
WESTMINSTER PLAYS.—In consequence of the
death of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Ma-
tilda, the first of the Westminiter plays, which was fixed

lamented Princess will have taken place. There has
been no alteration in the other days, Thursday, the 12th,
and Monday, the 16th.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
One of Planche's clever adaptations from the
French was produced here last evening, under the
title of Somebody Else. The scene is laid in the
neighbourhood of Hamburgh, where we find an
honest wheelwright, Hans Moritz (Mr. C. Mathews),
has been left in charge of Louise (Miss Lee) by her
brother, Moritz's bosom friend, Ernest Waldburg
(Mr. Howe), who has gone to America to better his
fortunes. As might have been expected, Moritz and
Louise fall in love with each other, but neither told
their love. Louise, through maiden modesty, and
Moritz, because he thinks it would be a betrayal of
the trust reposed in him to make love to Louise, and
in order to avoid the possibility of his being tempted
to make love to her, he actually engages himself to
his wild rattling cousin, Minnie (Madame Vestris).
He is not aware of the strength of his passion until
his jealousy is excited by the attentions of a
nondescript sort of German dandy, Herr Flit-
terman (capitally acted by Brindal), whom
he threatens with condign punishment if he
dares to continue his attentions to the girl. At this
juncture letters are received from Ernest, announc-
ing his approaching return ; and in his letter to
Louise he tells her that he brings with him her fu-
ture husband. Louise is in agony. She makes a con-
fident of Minnie, telling her that she loves another,
but not that that other is Moritz, and Minnie readily
consents to pass off to Ernest as Louise, whom he
has not seen since she was a child. Ernest sees her,
and is delighted ; Moritz is lost in astonishment at
her excessive impudence, but in every attempt of his
to explain to Ernest the real state of affairs, she turns
the tables upon him by some clever ruse. Herr Flit-
terman arrives, and is unceremoniously rejected by
both ladies. His arrival, however, brings about an
explanation ; the betrothed each love somebody else,
and Minnie accepts the hand of Ernest, while Moritz
takes that of Louise, protesting all the while, that al-
though he has long loved 'her dearly, he has never told
her so. The piece is admirably acted through-
out, and Madame Vestris sings a very lively
vixenish song, to a pretty quaint air, as
she alone can sing such songs. It was
encored as a matter of course. Madame Vestris and
Charles Mathews were called for at the fall of the
curtain, and the latter announced the piece for repeti-
tion every . evening amidst loud applause. This
amusing piece was preceded by Old Heads and
Young Hearts, and followed by Young England. The
house was very well attended. .
