LAM BETEL STREET.

Yesterday, a young man, of very respectable exterior, who styled
himself an attorney's clerk, was placed at the bar before Sir D.
Wit.t.sAsis and M. WYATT, Kul. charged with breaking into and
robbing the dwelling•house of Mr. Chadwick, a grocer, in New.
street, Stepney. _ _ _

The, prosecutor stated, that on the previous evening, during the
absence of himself and family, his house was entered by means of
false keys, and plundered of various articles of wearing apparel and
other property.
Mrs. Mary Ruck said, that she lived opposite to the prosecutor,
'and on Sunday evening, about four o'clock, she observed a man
come out of the house, with a bundle in his hand. Knowing that
Mr. Chadwick and his family had gone out for the evening, her sus-
picions became excited, and she watched the house for a few mo-
ments, when she saw the prisoner also come out of it with another
bundle. This confirmed her in the belief that robbers had entered,
and she accordingly mentioned then, to other persons in the house,
who went in pursuit of the prisoner.
Henry Mires deposed, that on the preceding evening, while
going along White Horse lane, Stepney, he observed the prisoner,
followed by several persons,. who were crying out " Stop thief!"
He (witness) went towards him to stop him; hut before he could
do so, he threw away a number of articles. On securing him, be
land on his person several articles of wearing apparel, a phospho.
rus box, a bunch of skelcinn keys, and various housebreaking im-
plement*. The articles of wearing apparel were here produced,
and being identified by the prosecutor as his property, the prisoner
was fully committed for trial on the capital charge.

A contemporary relates a remarkable story about a
bat killed by a sportsman in the neighbourhood of Laigle. This
bird had a sort of bracelet hted round the lower part of its body
covered with hair. Upon this bracelet, which is of pure gold, are
engraved, in good preservation, these words—Maxim. imp. Galh.
Ssbj. Gal. 27. Arc. Cir. Scowls. It is known that the Augurs made
particular use of this kind of birds in their ceremonies. This bat
must be of a tolerable age.—Cortstituriarusel.

HYDROPHOBIA.—JA poor man residing in the Heigh.
hood of Wapping, was requested some time in the
month of April last to give a dose of medicine to a dog
which had been indisposed two or three days, but had
exhibited no symptoms of hydrophobia; in the effort of
forcing open his mouth with a piece of wood, his hand
slipped, and coming in contact with the dog's teeth, his
thumb was very slightly grazed: he applied to a
neighbouring chymist, who tuld him nothing was
necessary to bt done. Tne dog was killed the same
day, at the desire of the poor man's friends, and its
master was perfectly satisfied. The poor man till Wed-
nesday last was in perfect health, on which day he tom-
plained.of pain in the bitten arm, which extended to
the shoulder, but little notice was taken of it; during
Thursday and Friday he continued in the same state as
the previous day, but on Saturday morning symptoms
of hydrophobia rapidly appeared. Sere. al me.ical
men attende.l him, and did every thing necessary to
mitigate his sufferings, which terminated at 12 o'clock
at night, The poor fellow was perfectly sensible of his
situation, and was constantly imploring his ssifc and
medical attendants to keep out of his way, lest he
should communicate the disease to [Ecru.
