TATTERSALL' S, MONDAY.
ST. LEGER.—Since our last report of the bettuvr on this,
race, Scott's favourite, Charles XII.; has continued to ad-
vance in favour ; 2 to 1 was taken in the early part of the
afternoon, and, towards the close, 200 to 110 in good guar-.
ters. The quotations against Bloomsbury were also sub-
jected to a material change; 3 to 1 was offered currently at
the commencement of business, and 11 to 4 laid against hith
with Hetman Platoff thrown in; his friends, however, rallied
as the afternoon advanced, and redtce I the " price current"
to sto 2. Euclid had several frienas at 12 to 1, and Bolus
and Hyllus at 30 to 1. The Commodore, reported to be
lame, was nominally at 30 to 1; his actual price, we should
imagine, is much greater. 40 to 1 was laid three or four
times against Hetman Platoff, and offered up to the close.
The Corsair, Sleight-of-Hand, the ,Lord Mayor, and the
Dey of Algiers were friendless. Closing prices :

DUBLIN POLICE-MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.
HEAD OFFICE.

A " FOWL" ROBBERY—" BIRDS OF A FEATIIER."—A
policeman named Crow brought before the magistrates a
young woman named Sparrow, upon suspicion of having
stolen a goose ! which Crow held in his hand.
Crow stated, that he saw Miss Sparrow in Cuckoo-lane?
she had a bundle under her cloak, and suspecting all was not
right, he examined it, and found the goose, which-could not
have been long dead, as it was warm, and not being satisfied
with the replies to the questions, he brought Miss Sparrow
before their worships, in order to give an account of how she
had procured the body of the goose.
A Voice—Perhaps she wanted it for Michaelmas-day, as
it is not far off (laughter.)
Miss Sparrow (a fat country girl)—You lie, I didn't;
(turning to the bench) I'll tell you, sir, all about the goose !
(great laughter.)
Magistrate.—Very well, go on, Miss Sparrow, and let us
hear all about the goose !
Miss Sparrow.—l was sent by my master, Mr. Pidgeon,
of the Wren's Nest, to make a present of the goose to Mrs.
Eagle, who lives at the sign of the Cock, in Swan-alley,
Cook-street, and while going there was taken up by Crow
but if my master, Mr. Pidgeon, was there, he would pluck
Crow, and have him in the same condition as a namesake
of his was left one fine morning at the singing of the lark
an account of which will be found in a certain book written
by a worthy gentleman called dEsop, who lived some time
before Noah's flood;. but as all the chronicles were drowned
(with the exception of the dove), the precise time could not
be ascertained.
During this exposition the persons in the board-room-were
convulsed with laughter, there being such an extraordinary
coincidence in the names ; and three or four young men were
seen actively engaged in doing a third edition of the Jim
Crow business round the hoard-room. The worthy magis-
trates also laughed heartily. When the risible faculties of
all had been satisfied with indulgence, the magistrate said to
the policeman—Crow, go to Mrs. Eagle, and inquire if the
story tol, by Miss Sparrow about bringing the goose from
Mr. Pidgeon be correct, and—
. The conclusion was lost in another loud burst of laughter,
vociferously joined in by the young men who were perform-
ing another round of the Jim Crow antics.
It was subsequently ascertained that Miss Sparrow's story
was true, so she was dismissed with her Michaelmas goose.

Hitherto the title of citizen of the first class could not be
held by the Jews in Russia. The emperor has just issued an
order to the minister of the interior, by which this title may
be held by any Jew who renders himself worthy of it by
personal merit, or by any eminent service rendered to•the
state, either in art, science, manufactures, trade, or other-
wise.

OUTFIT CF THE EMIGRANT TO BRITISH AMERICA.—
It is important to the emigrant to consider what supplies
he should take with him ; for while all manufactured goods
are in the colony both dearer and more clumsily made than
at home, articles of great bulk and delicate fabric are carried
out at a heavy expense, and in the frequent changes of con-
veyance, damage can scarcely be avoided. Furniture is very
cumbrous, and from the abundance of wood it can be had in
Canada at once cheaper and much better adapted to a forest
residence. Nearly the same may be had respecting bulky
articles composed of iron. Glass and porcelain can hardly
escape accident; but on the other hand, of every kind of
wearing apparel and bedding, a stock fitted to :endure some
time maybe- carried out with great advantage. This last,
indeed, is indispensable, not being usually furnished on ship-
board. Boots and shoes are particularly recommended, being
in the colony ill made, of leather imperfectly tanned, and not
at all durable. If a cultivated understanding leads a settler
to wish for books, a better choice and at cheaper rates will
be found at home. The same may be said of every object
connected with art or science. The artisan should take his
tools. Those fond of gardening ought to carry the seeds of
plants and vegetables, which can scarcely be ,had there of
good quality ; yet it ought to be considered whether a settler
is likely to find much leisure for these recreations. On the
whole, he ought to be on his guard, against drawing too much
on his funds before going to a place where money is at once
so scarce and valuable,—Edinburgh Cabinet Library, No. 27

CAPTURI OF A GANG OF ROBBERS.

(From the _Halifax Guardian)
We are happy this weak to announce the capture of four of
that gent- of thieves which hail lately infested this neighbour-
) ood. They were first apprehended at Dublin, and our en-
terprising deputy-masts-Ws krazer having received notice of
their capture get off thitleer last week. He returned; on
tfuesdey ; but two of the nem had nearly altogether escaped
et the hew Inn, on this tide of Blackstone-edge. The coach
eame opt vith the ether two Fri:macre, in custody of an Jn-
epector of the, Dublin police; and a crowd of 2000 to 3000
rrsons was an/wattled to witness their arrival. One of 'theinctiened villeins cheered on the conch stopping, and it was
en:di great clitecutte the pricer:ere were conveyed to the pri-
t ca. A cleeise wee irsereedistely dispatched for Mr. Fraser
teal the other two prime:re, who shortly afterwards arrived.
In order to prevent the possibility of any further dieturb-
ence, the deposittons *ere taken on Thursday before Joliet
nt, AI-ERE-lOUS*, Even, in an upper room in the police-office.
The names of the villein& were Robert Titeerington, William
llerber, Micheal Dawson, and Joshua Wilson ; all natives of
this neighbourhood.
Mr. Thornee Cockcroft, wcolstapler, of Halifax, (one oi the
went/el:len robbed,) feet deposed to the manner of the rob-
bery in Godley Lane, ca the morning of the 6th of August;
perticulars of which we tee at the time. He identified Tit-
terington and Dawson, as the two men who robbed him. He
resisted, on which the said, " D—n thee, if thou makes the
least noise, we'll stick them" After having robbed hien of
six k 5 notes, a bill for £B2 123. 6c1., and his watch; and
watch-guard, they left him, end he crawled to a farm-hhuse
adjoining, and stayed in the Iteld of the robbery till morning.
ile sVrOte distinctly to the persons of Titteringeon and Dew-
eon ; and also to a watch end gutted produced being the erti-
cn:n stolen by the two prieeners. Some notes were also pro-
tieced, which, however, !tr. Cockcroft could not swear to.
Ic knew the watch by the maker's name and number on it—
" J. de J. Jackson, No. 7044."
Mr. Robert Crossley, worsted spinner, Halifax, (who had
Levu rohhel at the same time with the previous witness, they
being on their return from Derucieeter wool fair, in a gig), de-
pesed that the prisoner Wilson and another man named
Rueleworth (already committed for the offence) first came up
and reined the reins, and then came to assist another man in
robbing him (Crossley.) They took his watch and guard. and
he made a straggle to get free, when one of them said, " D—n
him, let us have him on hit back," and while they were pull-
lag him down, he recognized the prisoner, Barber. Two or
three of them then said that if be stirred or made the least
noise, they would kill him directly. He then said, " take my
money beet spare my lire," on which prisoner Barber jumped
on him with his knees and swore he would kill him. While
V the teSt were throttfing him. Barber robbed him of 2s. in
silverea knife, £6 10s. in gold, and two five-pound notes of
the Halifax and Htddeinflel4 Union Bank. Barber then re-
newed his violence, and said to one of the other thieves,
" D—n thee, now Ito and do the gig." The man went and
slim returned saying there wee nothing in the gig. Barber
t..ld him to go setain ; lie did so, and returned with the same
answer. Barber, seeing Mr. Crossley look at him, jumped
up and swore he world kill him ; but the others dissuaded
him. Thee then went off in the direction of Hipperholme,
- and Mr. Croreley got in thi gig and drove to Halifax as
speedily as he could.
MORRIS Prendeville, inspector of the Dublin police, swore
to having capttired prisoners Lerner and Wilson on Mon-
. day, August 26th, at Debit*. He found on Barber a loaded
,pistol, sand-paper, and knife; and on Wilma a purse,

Mrs. Ann petiole elf_ fturalay,otood Howse. near Burnley,
was then swore stet riatile-O'er Nada? Morning, August 18,
alenOt three o'clock, I wee, awaked by the noise otthe cellar-
door opening. I irnmedtately got up and Went to the land-
ing of the stairs, Called Imit On a girl I had in service, and re-
ceiving no ansiver called ti *coed time. I sew a light down
stairs at the cellar-dote' end as my calling the second time
the light went out. I Mesa went into the servant's room and
told her to get np and go hneo my bed-morn, and stop with
my little girl. I then want into nay son's bed-room, which
is very near, and took Ittai into my room, arid then went
agaitt into the servant's nem, and stepped with as heavy a
foot as I could, and celled oat John as if I were calling to a
servant, And opened the casement which looks out into the
back yard, and there saw throe wren leaving the kitchen. I
called out John, they era here, ere !" on which the men
ran away to the end of the house. I then went down stairs,
and on my way to the kitchen 1 found the cellar-door open.
I stint it and fastened it with a nail. I went into the kitchen
and found the back-door open. I shut it end bolted it. I
then got a tinder-box and some matches. I went up stairs
into my bed-room and street a light, and lighted a candle,
but ending it wits 'tot long enough, I went down stairs into
the kitchen for another, bat found that they had taken all the
candles otit of the candle-bark. I then went into the store-
roona, and got a mould and one rush-light. I took the mould
up stairs and lighted it. I divided the rnahlight and placed
half in my bon's room and half in the servant's room for
protection. f locked Out of the window into the yard and
saw two men looking front the off corner of the house. I
droned myself, called my ,daughter, who as well as the
servant dressed herself, and we looked under the blinds in
different memo, and maw sometimes two, three, and• at
one time four men together, lurking about the house.
I then went down stairs der a pistol, powder and shot.
I found the pietot in the corner of the chimney-piece
in the kitchen ; but both the Masks were gone. We then
walked about the moms, and looked out occasionally
under the blinds; and rill taw them sauntering about.
In a little while after that I went into the back room and
opened the casement reran, and saw one man standing on the
'kitchen door step. I called out to him and asked him what
he wanted there; ha ae d, " If you make any alarm, I will
blow your brains out," at the same time holding up his arm
and a pistol in his hand. He repeated this, and 1 shut the
easement and went into my own bedroom to my children,
and shut an-i bolted the door of the bedroom. In a little
while afar four rhea came upstairs ; they called out, " Open
the door and deliver your enoaay, or we'll blow your brains
out." I made no EASFwer. I had hold of the door handle,
but lea hold on feeling that they were prising the door open.
They instantly rushed into the room, and swore that if I
did trot defiler my matey, they would blow all our brains
out dicectly. I told thew 1 had not much. They said,
" Money we krrow rift have—money we want—and money
we will have." They said this twice. The children made
as elann—the men ensiled towards them and pushed my
deaeliter against the bed, and swore again that if they made
the least so* they would blow their brains out. I stepped
forward, took hold dam daughter, and pushed the big man
a little aide, saying, " Have mercy upon us—have mercy
upon ye sad spare our lives, and she shall not make any
noise." They demanded reoacy again. I gave them a purse
coined-I-dee ten dd. in sixpenees ; they went on to the landing
of the kites till they took it oat, and then turned back and
d---(1 nay soul to hell, and said, " If you do not give us mere,
we will blow your brains out." I said, " For God's sake
have mercy !Ilion us and spare our lives, and you shall have
what money I have." I gave them four sovereigns; one of
the men then rifled my pocket, and took out of it a bead
purse containing seven 3overtipis and a half. I begged for
the puree itacs., and when the thief had taken out the money
he threw it dawn. He got among other things from my
pocket, a watch ; which I begged to have back because it
woe a favourite opf and had iaelonged to a child that was
dead. He threw it on the drawers, and it was left there.
They then =sacked the rooms up stairs, but took nothing
away from up staira. They broke into the store room and
took a ham, a seed cake, a bottle of port wine, and some new
Irish linen. They also stole my son's pencil from the front
psrleur ; and atter goiii into other parts of the house, it
wee getting daylight, mid they left. After they had gone, I
discovered that twelve table spoons, twelve tea spoons, and
three salt spoons had been taken from the kitchen cupboard.
The table spoons now produeed are some of those which
were gone. The prisoners are four of the same men who
robbed me as I have uow stated. lam sure they are the
same. They are the four men who were in nay bedroom.
Elizabeth Parker, daughter of the preceding witness, cor-
roborated her evidence. She said the prisoner Titterington
had a pistol in his hand, and stood at the door ; the prisoner,
Dawson, was the one who rifled her mother's pocket.
The prisoners, who throughout the examination bad behaved
in .a moat reckless and hardened manner; were committed
to take their trials for these offences at the ensuing York
assizes. They started off at five o'clock yesterday morning, ,
in a chaise; and we hope arrived safe. Barker was heard to
declare that he will yet escape; and, indeed, death would
more probably have itteneri their capture, had it not been
for the stratagems of fee Dahlia police. .
