LA MB ETII-STREET.

Sarah Wilkinson and Mary Hartwell were re-examined, charged
with robbing Mr. Tingey, a Smithfield salesman, of £430 in notes',
The prosecutor, whose age might be supposed to have damped the
ardour of love, and whose garb and appearance resembled those
of Liston, as Mawworas, met the prisoners near Smithfield Bar', and
accompanied them to their rendezvous in Chick-lane, where having
treated them with a qua*. suf. of ale, they proceeded to amorous
dalliance, in which having spent some time, one of them for hive's
sake (as the Irish term it) knocked him down, and feeling a greater
affection for bis purse than his person, they divested him of the
above property, when he set up a cry of murier, which called op
the landlord, who at first appeared to sympathise with h.di, hut in
a few minutes changed his tone, and opening the door, cried " Out
with you!" with which command the faithless damsels instantly com-
plied, leaving their love-lore Strephon to shift for himself. Lee,
who apprehended them, produced an immense quantity of fashion-
able attire be found at the prisoners' lodgings, no doubt the protiuc-
don of their plunder, and they were fully committed.

An elegant English Church has been opened at
Moscow : there are 200 hearers. The British Turkey Company have
been liberal in their donation towards fitting it up, and establishing a
Gergyonan ; an elegant service of communion plate has been pre.
seated to it by the British residents at St. Peter sburgh.
TITHRS IN KIND.—In a parish in Dorsetshire, when
the Clergyman demanded the tithes of gardens, a Gen-
tleman, occupying a small garden, refused to pay it,
contending that the produce, after deducting the cost
of labour, would not yield enough to satisfy the de-
mand. He was threatened with a suit in the Ecclesi-
astical Court, and paid the demand, rather than expose
himself to a greater evil.

DOCTORS AND WOMEN.
Ye Doctors, I tell you, to us (and 'tis trite)
The women are far more important than you;
For without them to live any man I defy,
But without your advice we can all of us die!
