PREVENTED SUIcIDE.-Yesterday afternoon,
about two o'clock, as Mr. BROWN, who has the
management of the Gas-works at Covent-garden
Theatre, was passing along the City Road, over
the bridge of the New River, he observed a
woman decently attired, about thirty year of
age, walking on the side of the river, apparently
in a desponding state ; suddenly she threw off
her bonnet, and plunged into the water. Mr. B.
instantly took off his coat and shoes, and jumped
in after her. The unhappy woman, determined
to destroy herself, endeavoured to keep her head
under water, and she went under altogether
twice, but Mr. B. being an expert swimmer,
dived under the water after her, and with much
difficulty succeeded in dragging the unfortunate
' woman ashore, almost lifeless. She was taken to
the Receiving-house of the Humane Society, at
the Blue-coat Boy, in the road, and the usual
means were adopted, by which animation was
restored. After some time, she said she was a
married woman, and her husband resided near
Lambeth-street, Whitechapel. She had pledged
some property that had been entrusted to her,
and not being able to redeem it was the cause of
her committing the rash act. She was placed in
a hackney coach, and conveyed home to her hus-
band. Mr. Brown, for his humane conduct, was
well rewarded by several gentlemen who wit-
nessed the transaction.

before Sir R. Br tiNiE, charged with fotcitig his way.into Drury-
lane Theatre without the necessary ceremony of paying the ad-
mission money, and with behaving in a riotcus and disorderly
manner, so as to annoy the audienze..
Nettleton, one of the Constables to the Theatre; stated, that

the defendant and another came to the boulse on Monday even-
ing, -exceedingly intoxicated; and forced :thenisAves past the
check-takers without paying ; and, when desired to withdraw 4
they refused, and made a serious disturbance. The friend of
the defendant went away at last, but the latter refused, and be-
haved so outrageously that the witness was obliged to put him
into a coach and convey him to.the watchhOuse.
Sir R. 8.111.X1E asked the defendant what excuse he had to
make for his conduct.
Mr. B. said, he had been dining with some friends, and had
taken too much wine. Ile had no recollection whatever of what
passed the preceding night. •
Sir R. Brnin.r.:—,Do you think drunkenness an excuse for
an act of outrage?
B. said, he did pot plead it in excuse, nor even in pallia,
tion. lie merely stated that he had lost his recollection, as tLe
only answer•he had to Wake.

Sir R. BritxtE--.What are you ?

other, endanger a large property; but this was net a ease hi

and beg the return-checks of those w1:0 leave before the ini-•

Mr. Dunn said, this practice was carried on ItO a. very greet
extent, in spite of the vigilance of the money and check falters.
The defendant was ordered to find bail.

The priioner, whose demeanour appeared to be that of 111
extremely sullen and ill-tempered lad, said the prosecutor (la',
not fight fair, and that he warned him betore-hand, tl.at

was delivered in a tone of the most perfect indifference. , •
Sir R. BIRNIE, at the request of the prosecutor's
asked the master of the boys, if the prisoner .Went regularly t°

The master said, he did not know, but he believed they h4l

Mind, I care not what church or chapel, so as it is a place
