BOW-STREET.

Princes and Peers, and Barons bold, and Knights of high degree,
and heroes, and gentle dames, were net the only comp n'y at the
Royal Palace of St. James yesterday. There were also s ra1.1,11
all the Chevaliers d'lntlugrie—the Bunten, the Prigs, and the I•st,,-
eers; and if these latter had not the manic of the Court, v
had the entree of many a well-stored pocket—as the Informatio!:-
book at this office will abundantly ttstify. Three of the tribe were
yesterday brought before the. Magistrate at this office.
The first of these gave his name Robert Junes, but whose real
name is Bradbury, and who has himself been a persecutor of pick-
pockets, a sort of amateur constable, who picked up a pickpocket
wherever he could, and prosecuted him purely pro bond public°. Ile
was charged with stealing a pocket-book from the petson of one
Mr. Peter Kok Ankertchmidt—a young German manufacturer of
leather, residing in Clipstnne-street, Etzroy-square.
Dorrington, one of the patrol, said he tound the prisoner in the
hold of the prosecutor, who was charging him with ,tt aling the
book now produced, and therefore he took him into custody.
The prisoner in his defence said he found the hook lying upon
the pavement ; and not knowing who it belonged to, he put it in
his bosom until he might find the owner.
Ile was 'oily committed for trial.—And it was only last week
that he was li:nistlf bound over at this office to prosecute a pick-
pocket, whom he himself took into custody for robbing some per.
son unknown.
The other two prisoners were very respectable looking flier.—
One of them, a very shewy young fellow, ET me his n.mie Thomas
Williams, and said he was a hawker, and livtd at Bath. The other
was a short elderly man. lie called hiniseif John Parsons, a bro.
ker, and a freeholder of the City, living at No. 01, Penton.will,"
but in what street he could not say. 1k th of them positively denied
that they were attempting to pick pockets, but the Magistrate or•
dered them to be detained until the morrow,

The Second Spring Meeting is within a few mi'iutes of closing,
and the principal attention to-day, first at the Rooms, ar,d now on
the Course, has been taken up in making engagements on the Derby
and Oaks at Epsom, on which St.tkes there has been an unusual deal
of heavy betting. It will be seen that the celebrated cult Scr.io

the small odds of only 2i to 1 against him for the Derby. Cobweb
has also moved forward for the Oaks. The Donessrer Sr. lega
claimed some attention; and it will he noticed that Swiss is gone
back, and Altisidora become the first favourite. Exact particulars
