STREET ROBBERY.—Yesterday, at the Police-court,
Robert Williams, a young man, was charged with this
offence. It appeared that, on Saturday night, William
Horton, by trade a tailor, saw a female in Paul-street in-
toxicated, and findi g she could not take care of herself,
he volunteered to assist her towards her home. The pri-
soner came up, and said she was his sister, at which he
expressed his satisfaction, as he would be relieved of further
trouble. Presently several more fellows came np. The
prisoner stopped his mouth, and they all laid hold of him
and rifled his pockets of sixpence, four half-pence, the
key of a box, and a tin case. The parties were pursued
by the complainant and a police-officer across Scotland..
road, but all of them escaped but the prisoner, who was
kept in sight all the way to Nash-grove, where he was ap-
prehended leaning against a wall. He was committed for
trial.

HUBARD PORTRAIT GALLERY.—In looking over the
extensive collection of profiles here exhibited, we were
much pleased with the very forcible manner in which the
likenesses are carried out as regards outline, character,
and finish, portraying at once the real character of the in-
dividuals, many of whom we instantly recognised. The
style of finish is also somewhat new and highly effective,
and cannot fail to please both friends and sitters.
