Tmearnas.—The new Pantoa.imes at both Thea,
tres were repeated last' night with, it posOle, in-
creased success ; and each promises to have a long
and prosperous run.
Joust FULLER, Esq. of Rosehill, Sussex, has dis-
pensed his Christmas bounty, in beef and bread, to
the poor of the parish of Brightling ; to which the
principal inhabitants added a very liberal subscription.
Friday night, or early OR Saturday morning last,
a file broke out in a hay lolt at Croxton, Cambridge-
shire, belonging to S.r G. W. LEEDS, owing, as at is
supposed, to the negliona of the groom leaving the
snuff of a candle in the snuffers. The fire destroyed
the roof of two stables, and the smoke descending
through the hay loft floor, suffocated two valuable
hunters. Although a windy morning, no other da-
mage was done. The mansion was not at allinyured.
Sunday night a fire broke out, at a lodging-house
in Laystall-street, Gray's Inn-lane, which threatened
the whole neighbourhood with destruction ; but, by
the timely assistance of the firemen and engines, the
flames were extinguished, without doing further da-
mage than destroying the premises where it broke out.
Tuesday morning, about five o'clock, a fire broke
out at the house of Mr. HEWITT, a linen-draper, in
Whitechapel-road, which was entirely consumed.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Tor.
tole, 22d October, 1815, received in Glasgow on
Saturday :—Go We have experienced two gales, which
have thrown down some old houses in town, and a
few small vessels are on shore ; also a little damage
to our canes in throwing them down, with the loss of
eeveral negroe-houses, some cattle, Etc."
' Thursday, the Carlisle mail was tweve hours later
in its arrival at Edinburgh than is usual ; the mail
from London to Edinburgh arrived a little beyond
the usual time, both on Thursday and Friday.—ln
consequence of the very heavy fall of snow, the
roads in the neighbourhood of Glasgow have been
nearly impassable. The mail coach hltich left Glas-
gow yesterday se'nnight, for Edinburgh, in pass-
ing through the snow, on the hill at the west end of
Calder-moss, upset, and fell on the dyke. No injury
was, however, sustained by any of the people, and
they were soon enabled to proceed on their journey.
On the new Edinburgh road, several of the stage
coaches have been compelled to stop. The Edinburgh
Tel:graph, which lett Edinburgh at four o'clock on
Wednesday se'nnight, reached Glasgow next morn-
ing at one. The depth is greatest between Airdrie
aid West Craigs. The Telegraph, on its way to Ayr,
same attet noon, could not pass Drumboy-hill. The
coaches c.n the i l.f Edinburgh and Greenock roads
were with cifficelry got throueli the swat-; and six
horses have generally been tmployed where the at-
tempt was successful. A great number iit the carriers
were also prevented from coming to Glasgow. The
st. ppsge has beers 'caused by the dolling of the snow.
Yesterday se'nnight, the postman fro n Keswick to
Alston, was maw! elmed in the snow..and pet ished.
'The sante evening, a young woman, returning
home to Newhattle, from Ediabegh, unfortunately
perished in the snow.
The wig John and James, of tiltcoats, WILSON
master, loaded with timber, was totally lost at Corse.
wall Point, in Galloway, on Sunday the 17th inst.
at eight A. M. This vessel had been out twenty.
five days from Pictou, and in a heavy gale, at the
entrance of the Frith of Clyde, she carried away her
main-yard, split her principal sails, and in a great
measure became unmanageable, when it was at-
tempted to get her into Loch Ryan, but missing
stays, she struck amongst the breakers on that rocky
shore, and in a very short time she was entirely
wrecked to pieces, and the whole cargo soon floated
about the shore, little of which it is feared will be
saved. In this distressing situation the few inhabi-
tants of that neighbourhood tuned out in great
haste, and although they could do nothing for the
safety of the ship, they nevertheless had the happi-
ness of saving five of the crew, viz. the Supercargo,
the Mate, two seamen, and a boy ; but Capt. WIL-
SON, and two of the seamen were untortunatesy lost.
During the late heavy gales great fears were enter.
tained for the safety of the Chesterfield packet, tom-
m.nded by Captain STARR Woon, and which sails
regularly between Southampton and Havre de Grace,
she having beets some days on the voyage beyond her
usual time. She is, however, arrived perfectly• f
safe,
and Ike Captain gave the following account :—That
on Thursday, the -list instant, the Owers Lights
bearing East six or seven miles, he saw a ship in a
disttessed and perilous situation, with her main and
fore-masts carried away ; he immediately stood to-
wards her to renda her assistance, and found her to
be the Phenix transport, from Quebec, having-on
board those valuable men who volunteered as the
builderaelor the Lakes in America during the war,
nearly two hundred persons; they begged to be
taken in tow, which was done as quick as circum-
stances Would. permit, and alter two days, he SRC*
ceeded in placing her safely at P. etsmouth ; she WKS
a fine ship of .S(X) tons. The men rejoiced greatly at
the fortunate circumstance, and frequently cheered
the little Chesterfield whilst towing them out of
&opt.

POLICE.

Nem* Hoosit.—An importarit case to pawre
brokers came on before the Loup MAYOR on Tnes
day. It was an inforinetion tiled by Mr. Purse, of
London-wall, a respectable pawnbroker, against Mt •
Midi, to recover five several penalties, for pledging
a quantity of watches, the property of the assignees'
of a. bankrupt.—Mr. ALLZI', Conesel for the proseee:
tor, stated that as the pawnbtoltere were great suffe-
rers by the to frequent impositions of this nature
practised upon _therm he thought it his duty to men-
tion the matter puhl•cly to the Lord Mayor. notwith-
standing Mr. Hardy had offered to refund the
money ; and he conceived that he could not with
draw the prosecution without the Lord Mayor's coo-
sent.—Thit LORD MAYOR observed, that it no evi-
dence was offered, of conrsa the information would
fall to the ground.—Mr. Hardy said that he wet ig-
norant that the watches were the property of the
bankrupt ; he bad pled.'ed them at the reqiieq of a
third person. who had since given him the money to
reimburse the prosecutor what he had advanced up en
them, which he was willing to do, and to pay the
costs. The prosesutor not offering any evidence, the
matter dropped.
QUEEN-SQUARE.—Since the examination of Roberts
(charged with beingconcerned in robhing the Windses
coach) on Saturday, he hies written a fetter to Mt Cote
leUllote, the Magiorate,expressing Lis isoliguetion at
the conduct of stone of the witnesses who have given
evidence against him, but declaring his thanks to Mr.
C. for the impartiality with which he superintended
the several examinations. Mr. Coeouterue yeiter-
day ordered that his fine' examination blsuuld take
place on Thursday next.
HATTON GARDEN.—Yesterday limes Mfg was
fully committed, charged with stealing a gallon of
gin and half a pound of tea, out of the cast of John
Small, a baker, from Holloway, whilst it was stand-
ing at the door of the Leaping Bar, in St. John-
street, on last Saturday evening.
Woasimeseuerr.—Yesterday George ljeciett was
fully examined on a charge of stealing a pocket-
book, containing £l5O. the property of Mr. Thomas
Williams. He was fully committed for trial.
thstos HALL—Am Yrivern was brought up on a
charge of child steeliug, under the lot:owing cerieys
circumstances :—On &stunt sy evening Mey was seet
for to the house of Mrs. Entlimore, in :leuicalsle-
'leer, Kent-street, and was intorteed Mrs. Endi,
more's infant, about three weeks old, lied been stolen,
and an attempt made :o murder the nurse; who, on
being questioned, said she was sitting in the parlour
nursing the infant, when the door was opened, and a
man dressed as a sailor rushed in, and seizing her fry
the throat, cut it in thee places : she fell dew ii in-
sensible, and on her teeny, t y the child was gone.—
Mts. Elidimore stated, that she Was al.ttmed by the
noise tee nurse made in talli~'anantiwent down stein
to see what was the matter, when she i• mild her lying
on the floor, and insensible, and missed her in:aitt.—
These circumstances appeared altogether so impro-
liable, that the ollicet's suspicions were excited, and
he proceeded to examine the wound in the woman's
throat mote closely, when it appeared te be n thing
more than a scratch with a pin or nest le. This opi-
nion was confirmed by finding a Loge ei edle sticking
in her dress, which had still some blood remaining
up in it. Mrs. Nurse had also the appearance of
being ler advanced in a state et pregnancy ; —but,
from what the ollicer had already seen, his suspicions
led him to suspect the truth of this fact. He time-
fore desired some females who were present to exa-
mine her, when it was snon discovered that the pm-
tuber:slice was occasioned by a felse stomach formed
of a pasteboard case well stuffed with ti tnitel ; these
circiiinstances induced the officer to take her itoo
custody : she had not been long in his keeping, when
a respectable woman, who lives in the neighbour-
hood, and who has a slight knowledge of the priso-
ner, called on May and produced the lost infant,
which site said had been left with her by the prisoner
abaut two hours before, who said she would call ft r
it again in a short time. 'The
infant was, of
immediately restored to its parent. The prisoner
has undergone two examinations, and still persists
her first story. She was, therefore, yesterday, again
remanded for another examination.
