AIARYLEIIONE.—(TIIIS DAY.)
Joseph Harper and Henry Field, the former 22,
and the latter 14 years of age, were charged with
being concerned with another lad, named Joyce (also
in custody, but who is remanded till Monday next), in
burglariously entering the shop of Mr. Kennedy,
bookseller and stationer, Portman-place, Edgware-
road, and stealing therefrom money and 'other pro-
perty belonging to the complainant.
John Kennedy swore that he shut up his shop on
Tuesday evening, and left in a box, which stood in
the parlour behind, the sum of 10 guineaS in gold.
When hecame downstairs on Wednesday morning,
he found that a back window, looking into
a small garden bad been forced open, and the contents
of the box, with some pocket books, pen and other
knives, two f,cals, tortoise-shell box, a number of silver
thimbles, and other articles from the shop, had been
stolen. He gave immediate information to the. police.
Hal!, 64 D, said that he took a boy named Joyce
into custody in Northumberland-street, with the tor-
toise-shell box stolen from Mr. Kennedy in his
''pos-
session and acting upon information received
from him, he went to the prisoner Harper's
lodgings in 20, Stephen-street, and, with the assist-
ance of another constable, took him and Field into
custody.
Thompson, 4 D —Went to Mr. Kennedy's 4nd traced
footsteps from his back window through Other two
gardens, belonging to other parties, and saw that the
thieves must have got over a low brick-wall, from
Hatton-place ; found a number of small articles con-
cealed in some lime in the further garden, which Mr.
Kennedy identified as his property.
Duke, 4 D, heard Field, when in the cell at the
station-house ask Harper who had " -and when
the other replied that he could not tell, he said, " it
was that b— Joyce, but he would do for him yet."
Mr. Fell (the chief clerk) said to Mr. Long, that
the boy Field and another had already been com-
mitted from that office, and had been tried at the Old
Bailey for burglary, but had been discharged, as it
was alleged that two such boys could not have been
guilty of such a crime.
Mr. LONG having asked if the prisoners
.had any-
thing to say, and being answered in the negative, re-
manded them till Monday, when they will be brought
up with Joyce, and finally examined.

THE ig BRIGHT EYE'S" LAST. •
The following edict, taken from the Pekin Gazette,
was published in the Hong-kong Gazette of July 7.
It will be seen that the Emperor's brave troops have
made short work of Sir Henry psittiager and a Bri-
tish General called Pa, and wounded a great many
barbarian, chiefs, among others General or Admiral
An-tih-che. It is needless to say .that Sir Henry
Pottinger, according to the last accouvts, was alive,
and actively carrying on operations -which truly
arouse the Imperial ire :
" The Imperial commands have been received as
follows :—Yihking, upon clear investigation, has sent
up a document relative to warlike engagements, the
attacking and capturing of traitorous natives; their
examination and accusations. It appears that the
rebellious . barbarians have captured three cit.:es,
basely exciting confusion and disturbance. They,
moreover, have leagued themselves with traitorous
banditti, who prowl about spying into our military
affairs. This verily is sufficient to cause the. hair .
of the head to stand erect through indignation.
It had also been represented that the rebel
leader Pottinger attacked Tinghae during the sixth.
month of last year, but was killed by a gun fired by
llowanfe. It is now said that this turns out to be
false. It still appears, however, that during the at-
tack upon Tseke there was a barbarian British chief
killed, and the barbarians dwelling in the city of
Ningpo went into mourning for him. It was re-
ported that. the name of the barbarian chief killed was
Pa (?) The rebel barbarian An-tih-che (?) received
a wound on the arm, and a great barbarian chief re-
ceived some very severe wounds. There were five
ship-loads of the dead bodies of the barbarians taken
back to Tinghae, and there interred. There was
further an important cap' ure in the person of the
traitorous native Chin-pan-keun and four others, •
who were clearly adjudged and executed. Besides
the above, the report states that a barbarian chief
was caught, and many traitorous natives. At
present there are well-known names of important
personages among the rebellious barbarians who
have either been killed in their ranks, or who have
been slain by severe wounds. Those traitorous na-
tives who aided the rebels in their outlawed wicked-
ness, Yihking succeeded in capturing at different
times. The barbarians employ those abandoned
traitors as !spies and guides,.--and the traitors cram
themselves with the profit of the barbarians ; and thus
villany existing both within and without, arouses my
Imperial vengeance and. ire. The people ant the mi-
litary being aware of the calamities being poured upon
us, let them combine their energies and increase their
exertions for defence ; and let Yihking and his col-.
leagues lead on our forces to the extermination of the
enemy, and the rigorous seizure of traitors. Let
there be no remissness or delay, until the last traces
of the rebels are swept clean from the face of the
land, and traitors brought to submission, all of which
will accord with the righteous vengeance of heaven.—
Respect this."

CLERKEN WELL.-=—(THIS DAY.)
Inspector Penny communicated the following dis-
tressing occurrence to the Magistrate :—The wife of
James Parfitt, police-constable 38 G, an active and
efficient officer, has lain . dangerously ill at Bartholo-
mew's Hospital for some time back. - On Monday last
the constable when he got off duty went to visit her;
on passing through Smithfield a large shepherd's dog
ran against him and knocked him down. In falling
his leg was caught in one of the pens, and badly frac-
tured. He was conveyed to tha Hospital soon after,
and now lies there under surgical treatment. The poor
fellow has a large number of children, who remain at
his lodgings in a most distressed condition. There is
no likelihood'of their parent being able to leave the
IleTital for many weeks. The Commissioners of
Police allow lls. a week, which is barely sufficient to
procure some little refreshments for the parents in ad-
dition to the Hospital fare.
