MARLBOROUGH-STRERT.

An old Lady, whose profession g future events
to the astonished minds of children and kitchen-mmds, and easing
them of whatever loose cash or wearing apparel they may have
about them, was on Saturday brought to this office on a charge of
vagrancy.
It appeared by
the statement of a constable who appr•bended
her, that she was standing at the area railing of a house, as ire con-
sidered, endeavouring to decoy to her one of the girl, in the kitchen,
but when she observed the constable approach, The pretended to be
asking for a bit of bread, preferring the consequence of a charge for
begging, to those likely to follow onefor fortuoe-telling., On her
person were found concealed four handsome shawls, a piece of Irish
linen, a silk gown, and handkerchief, a watch, several rings, and
trinkets.

It was stated that she has only been a very short time liberated
from the House of Correction, where abe had been three months
studying practleally.the use and effect of the tread-mill, on the frame
of an old prophetess.
The Magistrate ordered her to be brought up again on Ttlesday
next, when it is expected that some more rightful owner may be
found for these articles than their present-pessessor. •

"late perfo'rmers at the above Theatre, came before the Magistrates,
and
E:resented a Memorial, praying them to grant a license for
Theatre in the neighbourhood of Wellctuse•quare, until the
Royalty Theatre should be rebuilt. The Gentlemen who made
the applicaden said, that at this season of the year, performers were
engaged for all the Metropolitan and provincial Theatres, and it
was, therefore, Impossible for them to procure any engagement.
The situation of the persons who were employed in the Theatre
deserved the compassion of tbe public, inasmuch as they had been
plunged from a state of comparative comfort into absolute poverty
and distress.

Sir Mutat. Wu.uasts regretted that it was not is his power to
comply with the request of the memorialists, as the Act of Parlia-
ment prohibited Magistrates frost granting any licenses, except at
the Michaelmas Sessions. Mr Damac also stated, that the license
which was granted to the Royalty Theatre could not be transferred.
nor had the Lord Chamberlain any poirer to issue a tern?orary
license. If they (the Magistrates, ever gave them permission to
perform in any other building, they would be liable to very heavy
penalties. Mr. Wray; however, suggested the erection of a tem-
porary building on the old site, which would have the benefit of
the existing license. The applicants thanked the Magistrates, and
then withdrew.
