Ike y Solomon has arrived in England from Net,
South Wales, in charge of the chief constable of Hobart.town.—
Morning Paper.
THE LATE OUTRAGE.—George Pollard, the indivi-
dual who broke into the apartments of Mr. Marten, at St. Jsines'4
Palace, has been liberated from prison, and consigned to the cue of
the Authorities of Marylebone parish, in consequence of the pour
man's insanity being fully proved.
Notwithstanding all that has been urged on the sill,
jest, the streets of the Borough and Blackfriars-road continue to be
infested with dogs roaming about without owners. Yesterday
morning a boy named Wood had the parts bitten by a dog cut out
at Guy's Hospital, where two young women are now lying from
similar awe.

On Friday night last, a disreputable female, named
Wilma, induced a young man to acconapany her to a house of ill.
fame, in Geurgautreet, Bloomsbury, where, after drinking very
much, she managed to take twenty pounds from her comp*.
Won. The door being shut, sbe jumped out of the 'window to
escape with her booty, but missing her hold, fell to the ground.
She was found on the ground by a policeman, in a heipleu star,,,and conveyed to the hospital, what she died in a few days of the
wounds she had received. A purse containing 14 sovereigns was
found concealed in her bosom. The Jury returned a Verdict, that
the deceased's death was caused by her throwing herself out of „
window, while in a state of intoxication.

A most daring burglary was committed on Monday
night, at the house of Mr. Wray, Basing place, iVaterloo-bridge.

dew shutters with a centre-bit; they then proceeded to fatten th,
servants and children's bed-room door with the linen lines, which,
were cut down in the garden; after which they proceeded to
plunder the haute, taking with:thern, among other things, a new
hat belonging to a gentleman sleeping in the house, leaving
in exchange an old one, on examination of which a letter was
found in the lining from a felon under sentence of death in
Newgate, most urgently soliciting the party to whom it wax
addressed, to get as many signatures aa possible to a petition, to
prevent the last sentence of the law being carried into execution upon
hint. The letter is now in the handsof the police, from whose erer.
dons it is hoped some clue may be found to the perpetrators of the
burglary. It la a little singular that a private watchman, who had
hitherto been considered a most active man, and whose bu.ines, it
was to watch the back of these premises, gether with the police in
hunt, should have been so unfortunate us to miss these robbers on a
night nearly as light as the day. The falling of a silver bell from a
lady's writing desk in the drawing-room which was found on tlh
carpet, is supposed to have alarmed the thieves, and saved mud.
valuable property.
The Hon. Miss Conway, the only child of Field-Mar-
shal Henry Seymour Conway, afterwards Mrs. Darner, when sow
eighteen or twenty years old, happened to be walking with David
Hume ; they were accosted by a wandering Italian boy, who edited
for sale some plaster figures and vases which he tarried : the good.
natured historian looked at the outs—conversed with the boy—gave
him a shilling, and continued his walk. Some time afterwards the
young lady related in company the adventure of Mr. Hume and this
wandering artist, not without a 'ethic touch at his squandering
his time on altry plaster images. "Be less severe, Miss
Conway," said Hume: " those images at which you smile
were not made without the aid of both science and genius :
with all your attainments, now, you cannot produce such
works." She soothed her monitor by submission and smiles,
inwardly resolving to try her hand in art, as much with th.:
hope of confounding the historian, as with the expectation of find.
ing pleasure in the attempt. She procured wax and modellin,
tools—set to work in secret—and in a few days presented a head
which she had modelled to the philosopher. " This, now," said he,
"is clever. and much better than first attempts usually are; you
have found it no easy thing to produce such works, but believe me
it is much easier to model in wax than to carve in marble." She
was not probably prepared for this ; she, however, asserted that it
could not be difficult, and that the hand which wrought well b
wax would easily acquire skill in ma.hle also. Resolving secretly
to make this second experiment, she got marble and proper tools,
and in a short while copied out, a little rudely indeed, the bust which
she had made in wax, and placed it before Hume. He had nothing
more to say.—Cunningham's British Sculptors.
Thursday morning last, between Navan and Bells, in
coneequence of a linchpin of one of the wheels of the Enniskillen
sod Dublin mail coach having fallen out, it was upset, when a Mrs.
Fry, of Dublin, on her way to visit her son, residing in Enniskillen.
was seriously injured, having been precipitated from the top of the
coach. Although at first the injury was conceived to be of a serious
nature to a person of her years, by the care and attention paid her
she is in a fair way of' recovery.—Disblin Evening Packet.
Curran being told that a person high in office had mar-

We understand that in consequence of information
being given to Mr. Miller, our chief of police, that Byrne, the
pugilist, whose recent rencontre with Alexander M.Kay resulted in
the death of the latter, was in Liverpool, on his way to Dublin.
Mr. Miller, with a most laudable promptitude, caused him to be
taken into custody on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, on
board the Dublin packet at the pier-head. It is said that th%
blackguatds of the ring have stolen the body of 111• Kay.—Liter.

turned to state that fact to his employee. Since then we have been
informed that Simon Byrne was arrested at Liverpool, on board the
Dublin packet, on Saturday evening, without a warrant. He arrived
at the White Lion, Liverpool, on Saturday, where he was pursued
by some officers who had heard of his arrival, and having also heard
of the fatal result of the fight, took upon themselves to take him
into custody, and he now remains in the goal of that town till fur-
ther instructions shall be received.
