passrd at this Office on Monday :—Captain G.
and his brother were returning into the Opera-
House, atter escorting some Ladies to their ctr-
riage, when they were met at the entrance of the
Theatre by Mr. W. and Mr. ft. who posited
against the fOrmer Gentlemen. in such a manner
as to induce them to request their cards. The
consequence was that some warm .Norris took
place, when Mr. R. pushed one of the other party
down, and Mr. W. struck a blow. Lavender's

of them, allowing them to depart, oti 'their pro-

that time Messrs. W. and it. appeared, and after
some explanation apologised for their conduct,
which ►hey acknowlt•dged had been under the in-
fluence of aisle.---(Nett, Times )

DARING THlEVES.—Yesterday morning, Mr.
Phillips, jeweller, of North•street, Oxford-street,
was sitting in the parlour talking- to his daugh-
ters, when he was alarmed by a noise in the shop;
he instantly went out, and discovered two men
plundering it, and a third outside, with his arm
protruding, through a pane of glass, taking the
trinkets'; on -seeing him they rushed out, and
- were pursued by Mr. Phillips and another, who
succeeded in taking two of the villains, but the
third escaped with some articles of gold and other
Property consisting of lace. They were taken be•
lure It BAKER, Esq. the Magistrate, where they
gave their names as Thomas Castello and John
',noway. 'They were committed for trial.
Cu mous IVORDE—A worm, of a very curious
nature; has been found by the cook of the King's
Arms iii this town, on opening a cod-fish, des-
tined for an entertainment. It is about four
inches long, and shaped like a coal, with a mouth
apparently intended to act as a sucker; but what,
renders it inure remarkable is a clothing of the '
most dazzling green feathers, equal in brilliancy to
those of the peacock, on the back, which given. it
a very singular aspect. Between the feathers are
sharp quills, resembling those on '' the fretful
porcupine," but comparatively smaller. The ani-
mal would seem too large to feed on the cod, but
might rather be considered as a parasite, which
la a frequent attendant on the fish species. It is
now in our possession,-for the gratification of the
curious. 'Those who have already seen it, many
of whom are nautical persons, cannot call to their
recollection any creature of a similar kind.—(Ply-
mouth Telegraph.)
COMFORTABLE DRINKING.—A young man, for
the purpose of rendering himself • comfortable, a',
short time ago, indulged in a moderate quantum.
of punch and grog ; to wit, a bowl of the former
and half a dozen glasses of the latter. He was
sued in the Court of Requests on Wednesday last,
and paid the amount of his reckoning, together
with the costs incurred.—(Hull Packet.)
A MODERN HERCULFS.—An affray took place
on Saturday sennight at a public-house, in Ply-
month, bet ween a party of Jailors and soldiers,
and about 20 of the crew of the Dutch ship Princ,
Frederik, when a modern Hercules, named James.
