BOW-STREET.

Two bricklayers were charged with stealing a quantity
of lead from the roof of Staines Church, on the day of the
Duke of York's funeral, and Thos. Williams, an old rag-
man, was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to
be stolen. They were remanded for further examination.
A respectable looking man, who gave his name John
Brown, was charged on suspicion of having returned from
transportation.

The prisoner was remanded, to give time for other per-
sons to come forward and identify him.
Three villainous looking fellows were brought up by an
officer, charged with having housebreakers' implements
in their possession. They all denied having ever been
guilty of an offence against the laws in their life, but
unfortunately an officer recognized two of them as having
been concerned in the robbery of NIG Roberts, a wine-
merchant, in the Strand, and a short time since sentenced
to three months hard labour in the House of Correction.

After a Lapland marriage, a general collection
in maney is made for the married couple ; a practice which
would be often found extremely convenient in other eoun-
trieß, and might often prevent love, according to the old
adage, from flying out at the window.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM,
FOR SUPPORTING AND EDUCATING THE CHILDREN OF

SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AND MARINES,
NATIVES OF SCOTLAND.

This day the foundation stone of a new School,
and other buildings, for the use of this excellent In-
stitution, was laid, with all due Masonic order and
ceremony, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.

The new School is to be erected on one of the
most beautiful and healthy' spots in the immediate
neighbourhood of the metropolis. It will be situated
at the very summit of a bill, on that part of the
estate of John Pocock, Esq., through which the
Battle Bridge and Holloway road runs; a road
which will tend greatly to facilitate a rapid commu-
nication between the North-Eastern and Western
outskirts of the town. The charming prospect
which it.commands, and the uninterrupted access of
light and air which it enjoys, render the situation
of this new Asylum peculiarly eligible for the health
and education of youth : and we understand that
the present building is only intended as the centre
part of a more extensive one, to which two hand-
some wings are proposed to be added, when the
funds of the Society shall render it prudent.
The establishment of this Society has hitherto
been in Cross-street, Hatton-Garden,. and to those
of our readers who are not already aware of the
object of this Institution, we may here observe that
this excellent charity is kept up for the maintenance,
clothing, and education, of the children of soldiers,
sailors, and marines, who have died or been disabled
in defence of their country ; and also for those of
other indigent Scotch parents, resident in London,
but who are not entitled to parochial relief.

In order better to accommodate the friends of the
Institution, with a view of the ceremonial of laying
the foundation stone, a large temporary amphitheatre
of wood was erected round the spot, with rows of
benches, rising above each other, capable of con-
taming not less we should imagine, than 1,500 per-
sons, and into which admission was obtained by
means of tickets issued by the Secretary of the
Institution.
