LOCAL NEWS,

THEFT BY A SERVANT GlRL.—Elizabeth Agar was
charged, at the Police-court on Tuesday, with having robbed
her master. Mr. Andrews stated, that the prisoner had been
in his service seven weeks, as housekeeper. A short time ago
he missed three hPndkerchiels and a table cloth, lnd sundry
other articles had been missed from time to time. On Sun-
day last, while prisoner was out, one of the other servants
found some of the missing articles concealed between the
prisoner's bed and the mattress. On the following day Mr.
Andrews was informed of the circumstance. He sent imme-
diately for a police-officer. The prisoner's box was searched,
and several other articles belonging to Mr. Andrews were
found. Some goods, his property, were also found at the
prisoner's lodgings. The prisoner was committed for trial.

CAUTION TO ERRAND Boys.—A good looking well
dressed boy was placed before the magistrates on Tuesday,
charged with a very bare-faced piece of roguery. Police
officer 48 stated, that between twelve and one o'clock that
day a boy had given the prisoner into his charge, for hav-
ing stolen some clothes from him. The boy stated, that
he was errand-boy to a tailor, and he was sent about a week
ago to a gentleman's house for a coat, which was delivered
to him. When he had got to some distance, the prisoner
came running up to him out of breath, and told him he was
to go back, for he had got the wrong coat. He was return-
ing with the prisoner, who said he was a plumber, and had
been working at the back of the gentleman's house when he
met another boy with a bundle tied in a handkerchief. He
said the complainant was to give him the coat, as the gentle-
man was in a great hurry. He was told to wait and the coat
would be brought to him. The prisoner and lie went off
together, and he never saw any more of them till he met
the prisoner that morning. On inquiring from the gentle-
man, it was found that he had not sent any person after the
boy. The prisoner said it was a mistake altogether ; the lad
had fixed on the wrong person. The boy said he was sure
the prisoner was one of the lads who had duped him. Mr.
Rushton remanded the prisoners, and the officers are to en-
deavour to find the coat.

THEFT FROM AVi;EL.—Yesterday, at the Police-court,
two rough-looking men, Martin Foley and John Delaney,
were charged before Mr. Benn, the sitting magistrate, with
having stolen a cask of slush or fat from on board a vessel
' lying the Kinl's Dock. A ship-boy stated that on Wednes-
day, he saw Foley cross the vessel he belonged, and take the
cask from the boat on the deck of the vessel outside, which
he handed to the other prisoner. The alarm was given, and
the cask, which had been carried on shore was left on the
quay, where it was found by the constable, who afterwards
apprehended the prisoners before they could escape. Foley,
who had before been before the court for similar practices,
was sent to gaol for a month, and the other for 14 days.
CLIMATE 01,: THE HAIR.—The effect of climate upon the
hair is very great. Extreme cold is apt to dry and wither the
roots; and, on the contrary, extreme heat to enervate and
weaken this important integument of the head. The most
extraordinary thing connected with the preceding fact is, that
one counteracting agent should be endowed with the singular
virtues of preserving the hair, in health and beauty, in either
the torrid or frigid zone; and it is a question whether Row-
LAND'S •MACASSAR 011, is most used in warm or cold
countries. At the court of Russia, the above delightful con-
servator is lauded with extraordinary encomiums ; while in
India the consumption of Rowland's Macassar is immense.
