THE BOLD-STREET SHOP ROBBERIES.—For several
weeks past the ladies usually shopping in Bold-street have
been followed by a parcel of pickpockets, who have plied
their vocation with the utmost success. The- robberies
thus committed have been to a most serious extent. Con.
sequently, the detective police have been on the look out,
and the result was, that a mother and daughter,. and a boy
were captured. The girl, whose name is Stewart, was
taken by police-constable Marks, one of the active officers
of the detective, just after she had relieved a lady's pocket
of £8 odd. The other two were in custody upon an affair
of a similar description. The prisoners were all com-
mitted for trial.

the 20th of June two excise officers went to the defen-
dant's shop, and asked what wines he sold. He replied
port, sherry, and ginger wine. The officers took glasses
of port and ginger, and Com the taste thought that the
bulk of the wine was Cape, but believed it to be foreign
wine. The defendant denied the charge, produced in-
voices and documents to prove that ho bought the wine
from a dealer in British wines, Mr. Robert Stone, of 61,
Crown-street, Finsbury, London, and produced a sample
which the magistrate pronounced to be a most pernicious
compound, and not foreign wine at all. The case was
dismissed—Patrick and William Connor, and Arthur
Dowdall, were each fined in the mitigated penalty of £5,
for using an unlicensed cart, at Aintree races, for the
conveyance of passengers.—Hugh M`Giverson and Henry

street, several bottles of whisky. They were found in
his house, and on an excise officer demanding to know

intimated that houses like that of the defendant were the
worst the authorities had to deal with, for men got drunk
in them when public-houses were closed..

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.
AUSTRIA.

Nothing certain was known at Vienna on the 9th re-
specting the fate of Comorn and Peterwardein. A com-
plete amnesty for the Imperial officers now serving against
the Emperor is, it was said, demanded as a sine qua" non,
It was also rumoured that Peterwardein surrendered in
the afternoon of the sth instant. Georgey arrived at
Vienna on the Bth. with his wife and physician, having
been ten days on the road from Grosswardein. He was
accompanied by Major Andrassy, with whom he left on
the same day for Klagenfurt!), which, and not Gratz, as
before announced, is to be his future residence.
Various distinguished officers in the Hungarian army
have been shot. No doubt now exists of the treachery of
Giirgey. He is at present at large, and the courted of the
cabinets of Russia and Austria. His name, however, will
for ever be execrated. Social betrayal, is bad enough. but
national treachery is the climax of infamy. The patriot
Kossuth and Bern have, it is understood, escaped to Con-
stantinople, where, it is said, they have ben received
with favour.
