CURIOUS CASE.

MARY-LA-BON NE OFFICE.
Yesterday, Mesta Harris, an aged and worn-down looking
Israelite, appeared before Air. Hoscuts, under the following dr-
cunutances :—About eight months since, the house of Mr. Low.
Cher, at Chiswick, was broken into and robbed of a great
quantity of valuable property, among which was a considerable
portion of Mrs. Lowther and her daughter's wardrobe, and al-
though every inquiry had been made, no clue whatever could be
obtained of the thieves or their booty. About a month since, Mrs.
Lowther and her daughter, a young lady of the age of 14 years,
were walking in Hyde Park, when the young lady observed, 46 Oh,
Mamma, that girl before us has my frock on !"—at the same time
pointing to a young girl walking with a Lady a few paces before
them. Airs. Lowther, on looking closely at the frock, which was
silk, was also struck with the resemblance it bore to the one stolen,
and taking an opportunity, which occurred in a few minutes, ad-
dressed the Lady politely, and stating her motive, begged to Meow
how her young companion had become posacssed of the frock ?
The Lady, Mrs. Gemine. of Ilenrietta-strect, Cavendish-square,
very willingly, although much surprised, said she had bought that
frock, as well as other things, from an aged Jew, named Harris,
who had lived in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch, and who
was in the habit of leing round by her boon frequently, but she
had since disposed of the most part of those articles of that parti-
cular purchase. Hri, Lowther came to the ()/ice' and directions
being given to the Pollee, Gibbs, an active Constable, soon found
out Harris, but he den kd at first ever having sold Mrs. Gcmine
anything; but on the Officer taking him to that Lady's house, he
suddenly recollected the business, and came before the Magistrate,
when he positively and solemnly said, that he bad bought the ap-
parel, arc. at the Jews' Fair, in Cutler-street, but he could not re-
collect from whom. _ _

The case could not be carried any further upon the evidence,
and Harris was allowed to depart, on giving an undertaking to
look for the man from wham he kad put chased them.

It is stated in a private letter from Lisbon, that distutb-
ances had broken out in Spain, in consequence of which the Council
was sitting constantly.
Thursday, the Prince and Princess R ASOVMOPFSKI,
were splendidly entertained at dinner by the Duke of Devonsuisa.
run.* IN AND TURN otrr.—A Noble Lord who was
Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Witartroiros,vhited the Duke early
r on the morning of the battle of SAlamanca, and perceiving him lying
on a very small camp bedstead, observed that his Grace "had not
room to turn himself." The Duke immediately replied," when
ynu have lived as long as I have, you will know that when a man
thinks of turning in his bed, it is time he should turn Ma of it."
The thermometer in the shade. at the Royal Ex-
change, at half-past nine o'clock this morning, stood at 75, and at
a quarter to eleven it had risen to 79.
