Selina Turner, an old compositor, now nearly blind, applied fee a

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday George Goderich---wrsb7oughtup for final geminating,,
charged with stealing a silver salver, and other plate, the property of
Mr. Price, the Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre. The prisoner did
not deny having pawned the property ; but said that be intended to
redeem it, and repl..ce it. He said that be bad supported a good
chat acter for many years, and this was Ida first offence. He thought
he should have been able to have restored the property before his
master discovered it was missing. He bad a wifrand family, and
was greatly embarrassed, prior to his entering the prosecutor's set-
vice, in consequence of a protracted illness.
Sir It. DIMS said that be had but one course to take, and that
was, to commit the prisoner for triaL--Cominitted accordingly.
Three Gentlemen were brought up among the night charges from
St. Martin's watckhousc.
Sir li. Snare asked what was the charge against them ?—Watch.
man—They were going into the alansode beef shop in Castle-street,'
Leicester-fields, last night, and was called to take them ; but
don't want to press any uge, your Warship.
Slr Manama—Don t tell me about your pressing, Sir. nave
you any charge to make? Watchman—None, your Worship.
• Sir Hamisao—And what are these Gentlemen here for theta--
Watchman—l took them because I was desired so to do.
Sir ILICIIAPIO-...1 trust that you will have an actlo of false im-
prisonasent brought against you for your pains then. It is shameful
that respectable people are to be treated in this kind of way, after
all that bas been said. It would be much more creditable, if watch-
men would .rniod the proceedings of thieves and housebreakers,
than to be thus annoying respectable people. I hope the Gentlemen
have not been lucked up all night? Watchman—Ott, no, your
Worship, they procured bail.
Str Itscumur —Well, lam glad to hear that. Yon, Get:ileum,

May AND DECZNISED. Yesterday morning, an Irish GC*.
denten, between fifty and sixty years of age, appeared at this calm
to solicit the advice and assistance of the presiding Magistrate, Mr.
Lama, under the following circumstances :—From the statement Of'
the applicant, it appeared that about five months since be moue_
to this country from Bombay, where he had held a civil amellpre
meta for upwards of thirty years. On his arrival, he wont en
reside with a friend. He there met a young and extremely preps&
seating widow, who, after some well-timed solidtatioes on his parts
consented to live under his protection, without recourse ha
been had to that entrammelling attendant upon love's joy
tawny. For three whole mouths did they Uwe together in this happy
state, till the Lady, either feeling some 4 compunctious visitings,"e
wishing, perhaps, to have the sanction of the law for placing her si
feed= on her aged admirer, suggested to the applicant the peis.-
priety of marriage." At first," said the Gentleman," I objected, him
such was the power the syren had over me, that, like a fool, I at
last (about three weeks agu) consented. Ptevious to the mat*"
a valuable gold watch and appendages, with various

He also settled upon her 2,000 f. as a jointure, which was placed ha
the hands of trustees for her use. every thing being ready, the
happy couple, attended by a lase retinue of friends, proceeded to
Whitechapel Church, where their hands were joined in Hymen's
bonds. AU went on smoothly till fat Thursday night, when the

Ohl& she obtained from him that evening, together with the *teaser
part of the bridal trinkets. It was under these citcumstances, and
by the advice of his Solicitor, that the applicant came to this odice
to see what could be done for him.

" Pray, Dow," said Mr. Lama, after listening patiently to the
applicant's eery, what do you want, Sir r
Applleant.—A warrant to apprehend my wife, whets, ties do.

Mr. Laois.—l cannot render you any mistassi,
The Gentleman looked about rather tedlair as Weft the Kr
gistrue's deters!' bat ion,and left the office evidently tsttefi digitised.
Oa going out at the door, he told the dicer, if be emellllol sot his
wife, be would reward him amply, " for," said he, a all / want Is

gave his and to the officer, and deputed.
Isar SoLoutsia..—ln consequense of the arrangements made on
Thursday, by the Magistrates at this office, for affording every [agi-
lity to the numerous inquiries to be allowed to elanskie the property
found in the house of 'key Solomon*, it was removed from the pos-
session of the different officers, and plated in one of the large rooms
la the upper part of the office, under the care of Limbrick and Ed.
wards ; and as early as ten o'clock a number of tradesmen, who had
been plundered at different tunes, were in attendance, and between
that hour and half-past twelve o'clock upwards of thirty individuals
had access to the apartment. _ .

The property as now seen is of the most astonishingvarlety, com-
prising not onty gold and silver watches silks, and jewellery, bat a
very large quantity of valua—le Brussels lace, pieces of woollen
chrths, silk shawls, damask table cloths, waistcoats and waistcoat
piece*, and • great quantity of lace caps snide up; but not any
portion of it was found ou the ground floor as described. In the
bed room on the second door, after removing a bedstead and a
double carpetting, two planks were discovered so contrived, that
they could be FICDIOVVII at pleasure, under which the greater part of
the lace, tire-whole of the watches, jewellery, and a largelottion of
the silk, were found. The bag of counterfeit sovereigns, amounting
in number to 566, was not found beneath the flooring. but was dis-
covered by Limbrick most artfully concealed on a sort of beam or
rafter, in the lower part of tie building. The adjoining boon was
in possession of the same party, and contained a quantity of valuable
property, which could not, at the time, be removed. In consequence
of the limited means possessed at the moment by the officers, sad
the immense number of persons by which the premises were sur-
rounded.

A considerable portion of the lace has already been identified by
Messrs. Goustok and Copestake, of Cheaperde, whose premises
were lately robbed ; and several gold rings by a pawnbroker, in the
neighbourhood et Touelbam-asurt reed. A portion of the watches

When an Englishman is invited to dine with any of
ialtelsitants of Stockholm, it is the practice to treat
him with a quantity of what is called toast keel, a se.
neral opinion prevailing that no native of Great Britain
can dine without it. Tt.e host takes merit to himself
in having provided this kind of diet, and smiling at his
guests, calls out, in an ensphatical tone, " !Vail " (for
so it is generally wriiten and pronounced), as the man-
gled heap of flesh which bears this name is handed
round ; not having the smallest resemblance to any
thing so called in England, but consisting of lamps of
meat piled upon a dish, t iugh, stringy, and covered
with grease.
TI ere are in Paris five large public Libraries, sad
upwards of forty private. The Royal Library contains
about 450,000 volumes, independently of an equal
number of bound p.mpblets, and about 80,000 maau•
scripts. The Arsenal Library possesses about 150,000
volumes, and 5,000 manuscripts ; that of St. Genevieve
about 110,000 volumes, and 2,000 manuscripts; the
Magazine L brary about 92,000 volumes, and 3,137
manscriptr. In the provinces the most considerable
are—that of Lyons, which contains 106,900 solidus;
that of Beset son, 53,000; that of Toulouse, 0,000;
that of Grenoble, 42,000; that of Tours, 30,000;
that of Metz, 31,000; that of Arras, 34,000; that at_
Mons, 41,000; that of Co'mar, 30,000; that of Ver-
sailles, 40,000; that of Amiens, 40,000. The total
number of libraries in France amounts to 273. The
number of volulnes possessed by eighty of them is not
known. It appears that the general total possessed by
those whose numbers are known, amounts to 3 344,870
volumes, of which there are in Paris 1,125,347.
