It appeared that peculations have been going on at the theatre for some
time past, and inquiries having been made at the pawnbrokers' in the
neighhourhooti,part of the stolen articles were found to have been parned
by a woman who lived with the prisoner. The prisoner was committed
for trial. _ _ _

MaasrursorrE.—Johis Macready was charged with absconding
from an order of affiliation made against him owing to his intercourse
with Sarah Taylor, and also with Mary Taylor, her sister, who had
become by him the mother of a living child, which she now catried in
her arms.

The prisoner, who was lately in the service of a lady in Wimpole.
street, was in arrear to the amount of nearly 51. to the parish officers of

Mr. Hosting—l have heard much about the profligacy of pans.
peed menials like you, but I never met with so disgraceful an affair
as this.

Alacteady, who said that he intended to pay the money the moment
he received it from his brother in Scotland, was then committed to three
months• hard labour in the house of correction.

Uiriox.HALL.—Yesterday Mrs. Elisabeth Adams, residing in the
Retreat, at Lambed', was charged with committing a violent assault or.
Susan Simpson, her servant.
The complainant stated, that she had only been a fortnight in Mrs.
Ashton's service, and that on Friday last, as she was on her knees in the
kitchen scouring, her mistress came down stairs, and without receiving
any provocation, gave her a violent kick, which dislocated her shoulder,
and although the defendant was aware of the serious nature of the in.
jury she had inflicted, she would not permit her to leave the house for
three days to have medical advice.
The defendant endeavoured to palliate her conduct by saying that
the complainant was saucy.
The magistrates said, that no insolence on the part of a servant to
wards hes mistress could possibly justify such a mode of redress.
The disdain ultimately consented to give the girl 31. as a coin.

We are told that illuminations were discouraged in Lon-
don on the second reading of the Reform Bill in the hope
of baffling the late unprincipled speculation in Tallow. The
extra consumption would have converted that which ought
to be a loss, and we learn will be so, into an unhallowed
source of profit.

the enlightened region of Deptford. She is the very last
true prophetess, and in the fulness of time Mary Campbell
is to be as noted as Johanna herself. Why should not
theology have its quacks, as well in our day as in forme'
ages—and why not in theology, as well as in literature and
medicine ?
