MARYLEBONE.

A young man, named William Henderson, who said he re-
sided at No. 4, Conduit-street, and that he was in the em-
Ploy of Mr. Page, bookseller, Broadway, Hammersmith, was
charged with having uttered a counterfeit half-sovereign.
It appeared from the evidence that on the same afternoon
the prisoner went to the Marylebone Literary and Scientific
Institution, and asked for a ticket for Mr. Russell's forth-
coming entertainment, at the same time presenting in pay-
ment for the same to a youth named Large a piece
resembling a half-sovereign. It was taken to the secre-
tary, in consequence of Large suspecting that it was
not genuine; and it turned out that the suspicion en-
tertained was correct. A constable was called in, and the
prisoner, who said he was not aware that he had any bad
money in his possession, was then given into custody. He
had upon him a memorandum book, a catalogue, and other
papers-
•Mr, RAWLINSON remanded him for the attendance of the
Mint solicitor.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A middle-aged woman, named Jane Clarke, the keeper of
a houseof bad repute, in Gregg's-court, St. Luke's, was placed
at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, charged with having been
concerned, with two other women, not in custody, in stealing
between 401. and 501. in bank notes and gold, from the person
of a gentleman named Stephens, residing in City-terrace,
City-road.
The prosecutor stated, that after dining with some friends
in the City on Saturday evening last, he was driven home in
a cab, from which he alighted at the corner of the terrace,
and was about to pay the driver,. when a sovereign dropped
out of his hand, and rolled into the kennel. After an un-
successful search for the coin, in which he was assisted by
two women, who came up at the moment, he entered an
adjoining public-house, to obtain change for a 5/. note, and
in doing so unavoidably exposed the contents of his pocket-
book, consisting of 'bank-notes to the amount of 601.,
which he carefully replaced in his breast-pocket, but
after discharging the cabman, he was followed by the
two women before referred to, who requested him to
treat them for the trouble they had had in searching
for his money. He consented to do so, and they conducted
him to the house of the prisoner, where he sent out for
wine, gin, stout, and sandwiches, in successsion, all of which
were brought in by the prisoner, bat he had no sooner par-
taken of a small portion of the spirits than he was seized
with a sudden stupor, on recovering from which some time
after, he found himself still in the company of the women;
who then led him out of the house, and at the corner of an
adjoining street suddenly disappeared. The moment they
had left him he was accosted by a third woman, who in-
duced him to accompany her to some oyster- rooms in the
neighbourhood, on entering which he discovered that his
pocket-book had been transferred to another pocket from
that in which he had placed it, t'nd that the clasp had been
partly wrenched off; and besides all the loose cash, that the
whole of its contents, with the exception of two 10/. notes,
which had been fortunately overlooked by the thieves, had
been abstracted. He gave immediate information of the
robbery to the police, who succeeded, after considerable dif-
ficulty, in faking the prisoner into custody.
Police-constable Brown stated that on apprehending the
prisoner, she denied all knowledge of the robbery, and
declared that she had remained constantly at home ever
since the prosecutor had visited her house on Saturday night.
Police-constable G 135, however, proved that he had been
engaged with other officers in searching for the prisoner,
who had absented herself immediately after the robbery, and
only returned home on the preceding evening.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied all know-
ledge of the robbery, and protested that she had never left
home since the night it was perpetrated.
Mr. Bnoucurrox said that he considered the case was re-
plete with such strong suspicion against the prisoner, that
he dad no hesitation in remanding her for a week, bat had
no objection to accept substantial bail for her appearance,
herself in 801., and two sureties iu 401. each.
SOUTHWARK:

Richard F/inn and William Blumstead, two respectable-
looking men, were brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged
with having in their possession, and carrying, two gallons of
illicit spirits, without a permit.
Mr. William Packstock stated that he is a chemist and
druggist, at Millpond•bridge, Bermondsey, and that Flinn
had been continually calling at his house since he suc-
ceeded to the business, representing that he used to supply
his predecessor with various articles, consisting of plaisters
of various descriptions, ointments, and spirits of wine. On
a late'occasion Flinn called on complainant, and said that he
had a quantity of spirits of wine, 52 degrees above proof,
a sample of which lie produced, and that if he became a
purchaser he would let him hays it at the rate of 15s. 6d.
per gallon. Complainant having formerly filled a situation
in the Excise, considered it his duty to give information to
Davis, an officer of that department, having previously ar-
ranged with Flinn to bring a quantity of spirits of wine to
his house. On the preceding evening the two prisoners
called at the house of the complainant, bringing with them
two gallons of spirits of wine, which was contained in
bladders. The complainant having called a policeman, gave
both the prisoners into custody.
Flinn said that he only went to the complainant's house to
sell some plaisters, and that he knew nothing about the
spirits of wine.

The other prisoner said that he knew nothing about the
wiae.

The MAGISTRATE fined the prisoners 251., and in defau
committed them for three months.

Thomas Cox was charged with having intermarried with
Jane Miles while his former wife was alive.
The first wife only was present, but the certificates of
both marriages were produced; and the prisoner said that
his first wife was a woman of the most profligate habits;
that lie bad scarcely been married to her six months when
she left him, and went to live with another man, with whom
she had been living until his decease; but upon the death
of the man she immediately claimed support of him (the pri-
soner), and because he refused to contribute to her mainte-
nance, she adopted the present proceedings. The first wife's
brother was called, and he admitted that his sister had aban-
doned her husband, and went to live with another man, and
that she told him (the witness) that she was also married to
the deceased.

Mr. COTIINGIIAM said, that although the first wife was of
the profligate habits represented, and that she went and lived
under the protection of another man, still that her husband
was not justified in marrying another woman. He, how-
ever, had an undoubted right to refuse to contribute in the
least to her support. Under all these circumstances, he (the
Magistrate) should, instead of sending the case for trial, ad-
judge the prisoner to enter into his own recognizance, 501.,
to appear again on that day week to answer the charge.

It is a fact worthy, perhaps, of a passing
notice that the whole of the land in and about the
neighbourhood of Conception Bay —very probably the
whole island —is rising out of the ocean at a rate
which promises, at no very distant day, materially to
affect, if not render useless many of the best har-
bours we have now on the coast. At Port-de-Grave
a series of observations have been made which undeniably
proves the rapid displacement of the sea level in that vici-
nity. Several large rocks, over which schooners might pass
some thirty or forty years ago, with the greatest facility,
are now approaching the surface, the water being scarcely
navigable for a skiff. At a place called the Cosh, at the
head of Bay Roberts, upwards of a mile from the sea-shere,
and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six
feet of vegetable mould, Vivre is a perfect beach—the stones
being rounded and of a moderate size, and similar to those
now found in the adjacent land-washes—Newfoundland Ge-
noral Advertiser, Nov. 7.

CONSUMPTION--THE SCOURGE OF HUMANITY.--
Not one of the many ills which flesh is heir to, is half so
hopeless in its progress, half so terrible in its fatal issue, as
that scourge of the human race—Consumption. The first
faint suspicion of its presence reduces the affectionate rela-
tives of the " stricken one" to despair. And why ? Simply,
because the treatment usually adopted by the faculty has
hitherto failed to arrest its invidious progress. But is there,
indeed, no hope? Let those who are sceptical consult the
"Observations on Anaspasia in the cure of Asthma and
Consumption," from the pen of Dr. Cronin, the well-known
Physician to the Dispensary for Consumption. Even were
Dr. Cronin's facts less conclusive than they are, the impor-
tance of the subject would render apathy on the part of the
afflicted wholly unpardonable.—Morning Chronicle.
STRIKE OF THE CARMARTIIEN WEAVERS.—
During the last week the flannel weavers of Carmarthen,
amounting to a considerable number, struck for wages. We
understand that it has hitherto been the custom of some
master weavers to give but a small pittance in money to the
journeymen, at the same time compelling them to board in
the master's house. The men finding trade in an unusual
state of briskness, and learning that hands were scarce, took
the opportunity of insisting upon being paid in money, and
also of having an advance of hi. per yard. To this demand
the masters demurred, and a strike was the consequence.
During the week groups of discontented weavers have been
seen at the corners of the principal streas in deep and
earnest conversation, and we learn that already three masters
have complied with the demands of their workmen.—
