EXTRAORDINARY SUDDEN DEATHS OF THE
EDITORS OF THE " NORFOLK CHRONICLE" AND " NOR-
WICH MERCURY."—In the obituary of the last week's
papers in Norwich the death of Mr. David Irwin was
announced. This gentleman had for upwards of forty
years filled a confidential situation in the office of the
Conservative newspaper, the Norfolk Chronicle. His
death was peculiarly sudden, and, from his high cha-
racter, was the theme of general conversation for several
days. On Sunday last, only five days after his death,
great was the astonishment, and deep was the regret, at
the announcement of the equally sudden death of
Jonathan Matchett, Esq., the senior partner and editor
of the same paper, which capacity that gentleman had filled
upwards of half a century. On Wednesday morning still
greater was the astorishment, and deeper the regret, at
another awful visitation in the nearly as sudden death
of R. M. Bacon, Esq., the senior partner and editor of the
Liberal paper the Norwich Mercury, who had been un-
well for the last few weeks, but not to such an extent as
to cause any alarm to his family. '.['hose sad and mournful
events have cast a melancholy gloom over all the parties
in the town ; for in truth may it be said that no three
gentlemen could be found who lived more universally
respected, or died more deservedly lamented. Norwich
will never look upon their like again, for in their res-
pective capacities, as editors, none shone more than them,
nor in private life were note more esteemed.—From a
Correspondent.
We are sorry to hear the Earl of Bessborough is
still confined to his room at his seat, Bessborough-house,
county of Kilkenny, from the effects of his fall from his
horse a month ago.

The COMMON-SERGEANT said it was most essential in
this case, in which was displayed so much depravity,
that a severe example should be made of the offender, for
the protection of the public and the general cause of mo-
rality. In the eyes of the Court, independent of the
robbery, nothing could be more deserving of the severest
punishment than to entice a child of tender age from the
protection of its parent ; and ihe sentence of the Court,
therefore, was, that the prisoner be transported beyond
the seas for seven years.

- _
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Williams and Emma Weiss, well-dressed young
woven, were charged as follows :
Police-constable 36 of the A division stated that, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock last evening, as he was on
duty in Hyde Park, he saw the prisoners accost, and
forcibly detain, several gentlemen.
Mr. HARDWICK—Do you know the prisoners ? Con-
stable—Yes, they are common women. Nearly a hun-
dred women of their description infest the parks nightly,
ostensibly to beg, or for other purposes. They are
generally accompanied by men, who wait at a distance
off, and, when a robbery is effected, they either
convey away the stolen property, or brutally mal-
treat the party. Several robberies have been
committed during the last week, and they have a regular
organised plan of committing them—boys, mere children,
being posted at certain distances off; to warn them of the
approach of the police.
Mr. HARDWICK—I understand that persons are ac-
tually afraid to pass through the Park after night-fall.
I am therefore determined to put a stop to its being the
resort of the lowest grade of prostitutes and thieves. I
especially order that the police use the utmost vigilance
in apprehending such characters. I commit the pri-
soners for one month each to Westminster Bridewell, to
hard labour. The convictions shall be returned to the
Sessions, and ever after it shall be three months.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY).
OLD OFFENDERS. - Margaret Haggerty and Mary
Healy wore charged with begging in Cavendish-square,
and with attempting to pick a gentleman's pocket.
A policeman in private clothes said he saw the defend-
ants begging of ladies and gentlemen in Portman-square.
Knowing them to be.old offenders, he felt it his duty to
watch them. They left Portman-square and went into
Oxford-street, where he lost sight of them. Afterwards,
about ten o'cloek, he met them in Mortuncr-street, fol-
lowing a gentleman. After Haggerty had followed him
some distance she drew back a few paces, and he dis-
tinctly saw her lift up his coat tail and put her hand into
his pocket several times. He took them into custody.
Haggerty had been convicted five times of begging.
Healy had also been convicted.
The defendants denied that they were begging, or that
they intended to rob the gentleman, and they were, com-
mitted for a month.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA-
GISTAATES.-(THIS DAY.)
This being what is termed " county day," or the day
appointed for the transaction of the financial and other
business of the county of Middlesex, a most numerous
meeting of the magistrates was held, at twelve o'clock,
in the Court-house, Clerkenwell -green, Devon, Esq ,
in the chair.
The Deputy Clerk of the Peace having read the mi-
nutes of the last meeting, the Court proceeded with the
consideration of the appointment of nine district sur-
veyors, according to the provisions of the new Metro-
politan Buildings Act, and by which it was provided
that no person at all acting as a builder, land. agent, or
other person connected with the building department in
any manner whatsoever should be appointed.
Capt. Bague and Mr. Orme were unanimously elected
as scrutineers in the election of district surveyors.
HANNVELL LUNATIC ASYLUM.
On the motion of H.PowNam., Esq., the Committee of
this Asylum, appointed in August last, were empowered
to purchase 24 acres 2 roods of land, immediately adjoin-
ing Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, for the purpose or en-
larging the building, and thus abolishing the necessity
of farming out the pauper lunatics, as the various pa-
rishes were now obliged to do, and in consequence of
which the unfortunate patients were often ill-treated.
The sum which the Committee were empowered to pay
for this land was 6,0001.
The Court then proceeded to review the reports of the
Visiting Justices of the several metropolitan prisons,
from which it appeared that all the prisoners were
healthy, and that the utmost order and subordination
prevailed.
