Bow.sTlLEEL—Yesterday Thomas Aimee, a private
in the First Regiment of Foot Guards, was brought
to the Office by Donaldson, the constable, charged
with assaulting and wounding Mr. Abrahams, ou
Wedn;:sday eight at Covent Garden Theatre. The
prosecutor stated, that he was in a box of Covent
Garden Theatre on Wednesday night, and went to
the out! ide of the entrance door of the boxes for a
temporary purpose, from which place the prisoner
drove him away, and he proceeded against some iron
rails, a short distance from the door, for the same
purpose, when the prisoner attacked him with the
bayonet fixed, wounded him most desperately on the
left temple, which, from the opinion of the Surgeon,
had neatly proved fatal. The prisoner was informed
by the Magistrates that whatever his orders were as to
the regulations of the door of the Theatre, he was not
to enforce them by the point of the bayonet, and he
was ordered to find bail.

MARLIS:MOUGH-STREET.--ROGUES'QUA RREL.--YCS-
terday J. Burrell, a watchman, and J. zingler, a blind
man, were charged with a burglary in Norton-street.
and stealing various portable articles. Two men it
seems had entered the house, and being alarmed by
the barking of a dog, incap icitated the animal from
exciting further alarm, by an injury en the throat.
A ram of Mr. Sadd, the prosecutor, felt a hand upon
his face, and the family were at first disturbed, but
the alarm ceased with the barking of the deg. Bur-
rell, the prisoner, who is a Guardian of the Night, gave
an alarm to Furzman, a patrole, that the prcperty
was concealed is an area, in Burton-mews, and a man
called Jack (an intimate acquaintance of this watch-
man) was set to watch it. The blind prisoner con-
fes:,d at the time that Jack called him up, after break-
ing open the house, to convey away part of the pro-
petty, and he carried the copper to a pitching-place
epixsite the house of Mr. Lane, a publican, where he
let it fail, and he then took it into the area. This was
corroborated. In continuation, Angler stated, that
Jack afterwards removed it. It turned out that the
',Ceres 14,14 disputed about sharbrs. the booty, and the

haberdashers, at Deal, was taken into custody and
lodged in gaol, charged by his employers with el*.
bezzling and taking from their premises varion,:ar-
ticies, sundry shawls, stockings, lace, etc. to a large
amount. It appears that four parcels of the goods
stolen, already have been sent by the coach tp a con-
federate in London, and the filth was destined for the
same route, bad not a timely discovery been made.
At the late Durham Quarter Sessions, it was re-
solved that the penalties allowed by law should be en-
forced against all townships where any premature
deaths should occur, and the bodies be buried without
a Coroner's Inquest being held upon them. i
In consequence of the extra duty required for pay-
, ing the workmen of Chatham dock-yard weekly, four
additional clerks have been appointed to the Checque
Office, viz;Mr. Skinaer, Mr. "'lomat Manclark,
Mr. Hervey, and Mr. John Shillett ; the lamer
of whom was taken from the office of the timber Mu-
-1 ter; and Mr. John Whittle is appointed in his' stead.
