JUVENILE DETRAVITIN—A young lad, about ten years of
age, was brought before Alderman Farncombe, charged with
robbing his employers for some time past of money, goods, &c.
Mr. Lloyd Holden, of Finsbury-pavement,. brush-maker,
stated, that the prisoner (George Edward Clements) entered
his service three weeks since. He had been in the habit of
missing goods from time to time, but did not take any notice of
it until Saturday night, when, in consequence of the prisoner
keeping 6d. which he received in change on the Friday from
Mr. Arnold, of London-bridge, complainant accused him. The
accused, after some time, acknowledged that he had twice robbed
the cr.sh-box, and once broken it open. He also had robbed the
till several times ; all letters that were sent to be put in the
post he d :stroyed and si ent the money ; he also stole balls,
value .ss. each, besides whips, scent-b,,ttlea, gas- balloons, &c.,
to a great amount. In fact, he said that he never left the pre-
mises at night without taking something or other under hiscoat.
He was in the habit, when taking goods home, instead of charging
the proper price, demanding 6d. or Is. more. When the lad
made this admission, witne•s did not promise to forgive him,
but only said he would consider what he should do with him.
Alderman FAENCOMBE remanded the prisoner until Satur-
day morning.
BOW-STREET.

Charles Robertson, a gentlemanly-looking man, was charged
with being drunk, and committing an assault on policeman I'
25, who stated that the pris,mer and some others were turned
out of a public-house in the Strand. They were all very noisy,
and the prisoner and another were fighting in the street. He
attempted to separate them, and they both turned upon him ;
the prisoner knocked him down, and the other kicked him.
He was very much bruised. The other persons escaped.
The prisoner admitted the truth of the policeman's statement.
Mr. TW TFORD said he must send him to prison for one month.

Thomas Round, an elderly man, in the employ of a cab
proprietor, was charged, before Mr. Traill, with making a very
determin d attempt at self- desti uetion.
A Waterman who plies at Lambeth.stairs, stated that, at an
early hour that morning, while he was engaged in his wherry,
he observed the defendant struggling in the water off Burnett's
wharf. He immediately went to his assistance, and, in trying
to haul him into he boat, the defendant nearly upset it, and
seemed determined on carrying his obj,ct—that of drowning
himself—into effect. The witioass, however, held him tightly
by the hair unto further assistance arrived, and, with difficuity,
at length got him out of the water and gave him into custody.
The defendant, who has an impediment in his speech, which
was increased by the excitement produced by the attempt
upon his life, said that he was recently discharged from his
situation, and that having drank too much, he scarcely knew
what he did.
The defendant's master said he discharged him for inebriety,
and that previously he had exhibited decided symptoms of men-
tal aberration. . . . . .

Mr. TuAtim said the defendant appeared to be labouring
under delirium tremens, and that he should send him to Lam-
beth workhouse, in which parish he was found.
CLEI?KE_VWEL L.

Two ruffianly- looking fellows named Sullivan and Pearman
were charged with assaulting and wounding an acter named
Farrell.

Previous to the evidence being gone into, the maclistrates'
clerk (Mr, Mould) observed that the new Bartholoreer fair,
which lasted during the whole of last week, was a great nui-
sance. All the pickpockets and vagabonds in London seemed
•te have assembled there. They must have had at least 40
prisoners from it. The fair was got up by a beer-shop keeper,
and surely this individual ought to be indicted.
Mr. COSISE said the police had better look to it.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners, unpro-
voked, attacked Hannah, who was conveying home some of
the parapharnalia of a theatrical exhibition, in which he acted
at the fair. Ho iesisted, and Sullivan struck him with a saw
on the brea4t, producing a deep and severe wound, from which
the blood flowed profusely. Pearman also struck him.
Sergeant G 3 stated that when the prosecutor reached the
station, he was bleeding so freely from a wound in the hand,
that he tound it necessary to send him to the hospital.
Sullivan was sentenced to pay a tine of 1/., ur a month's im-
prisonment, Pearman 10s., or a fortnight.

PUSEYISM AT YORK.—A public meetiniz of the
parishioners of St. Michael-le- Belfrey, York, took place on
Wednesday afternoorclait, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration the conduct of the Rev. W. Ree,i, who, on the pre-
ceding Sunday, preached in his surplice, and also introduced
several changes into the usual forms of performing divine
service in that church. The meeting was called in cense-
quence of a requisition to the churchwarden, signed by a num-
ber of the parishioners, who disapproved of the novel practices
introduced into the church by Mr. Heed. Mr. Whitelock,
the senior churchwarden, occupied tit.; chair. The Chairman
stated that some time ago Mr. Reed asked for the use of the
church for the morning service for the youths educated in the
training school, of which he is the master, and that they had
granted him permission, apitropriating the gallery for the use
of the scholars, but reserving the body of the church for the
parishioners. For a considerable time no alteration took place
in the service ; recently, however, a great number of changes
had been introduced, until he thought they had come to a
grand climax. A discussion then ensued, in which Mr. Sum-
mer, Mr. No.ik, Professor Gregory, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Marsh,
Mr. Bingley, and others, took part, and ultimately the fol-
lowing resolution was carried That the Churchwardens be
requested to give notice to the Rev. W. Reed, that, in conse-
quence of the novel practices introduced into the church ser-
vice on Sunday morning last, he cannot have the use of the
church on or after Sunday next, the 7th of September, and
that this meeting authorises the Churchwardens to adopt such
measures as may be requisite to enforce this reseintioe.'l--,..

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRIXTON.---On Saturday
evening, at about half-past ten o'clock, a fire, which at one
tine threatened to be of an alarming character, broke out in
the extensive premises occupied by Mr. W. Glanville, car-
, penter and builder-, and situate in thee Middle-road, Brixton,
near the church. The efforts of the neighbours and the police
to surmount the flames by throwing water (of which an
abundant supply was furniShed from the main of the Lambeth
Waterworks) proved to be completely futile, owing to the com-
bustible nature of the stock, which cistriprisetl a Itirsie quantity
of dry timber, art 1. before the arrival of the West of England
engine from the Waterlood-road station, and of other engires of
the fire brigade, the workshop and business premises of Mr.
Glanville were reduced to a mass of ruins, and his yrivate resi-
dence, as well as the adjoining house, ocenisied by att. Watson,
were with difficulty saved. The extent of the loss could not at
the moment be ascertained ; the proprietor, 31r. Glanville, is,
however, insured in the Guardian Fire-uffice.
