A nothl -r gentleman h1ad his pocket cut out in the concert-room last ighit; anid the exasperation necessarily felt at these repeated and an- dacious depredations, led to a sene of arsoniewiat nlovel character, which took place in thce l tlhmtral this mnorrint tlitring the perform- ance of the oratorio selectionis. A yoItng matn who wvas seated in tIme tbodly of' the choir bc..ame an object ot Suspicion to some parties,whio hlaving becn robbed very recend'y ith ilmpuniity, fanciel thiev had acquiredt a symiipathetic acutnress of' eye, tvhiicil couli not tfil to dc. tect a thief' at the first glance. A whisper soion paiseua round the au- lience, and a great deal of pointing, and running to and fro, ron- iniced the object of' all this coinliotion thalt lherre ws sotnethinig memore than commtnon in the gencral attention (irected to lis lverson. Accorulingly clie moved from his place, and walked ratlher hastily round one of the aisles as it intendinig to effect a retreat. But this waas considered so decidedi a nmark of guilt, that :Mrs. Salmoit anid the B3rig/ht Serphim" were altogether forgottein in tihe ftll cry with which the aurliciiee set ofl' upon this new scent. Being thius pres3ed, he stopped sltort, and ascended the stairs of oite of the galleries, where lie was soon surroundied by a host ot' Peersr, Members of Parliament, learned ;Plagistrates, and re- verend Divines, not to mention a levy cr inatsse of Cwoitztry Gertlenz-itn, niany of wihomn saw 1fotanY-hIay writteUn in everv featire and article of cdress belonging to the ill-starred elf. But aithough there wcre plenty ready enough to anticipate theextreme sentencc of ithe law, no otte seemed particularly desirous ot' taking the inmtroduc- tory steas; so thiat the individual in qulestion tilderweent for a coii- sliderabie time a sort of' blockade, sutic as ha(l recently brounht that pii;ce of pick-pockets, the Dey of Algiers, to his senses. Sote Ce(Untry con.stables were anxious for soniictlmiing in theshape of aIU- t"ority before they proceeded to act, and the flock of law admitis- trators and law-makers to whom they appealed, seemed to fight very ! shy of thic estirsrion of responsibility, tliougli certain amnbiguous givings out were heard about "1 takitig up upon suspicion." At last, ihowever, a more intrepid D4gberry-than the rest declared5l that to be in a chuirch where a robbery had been committed was " flat bur- gnlarv," antI immediately seized the suspected person by the collar, and dragged him down the stairs and into the vestry. fIlere his clothes were beliig stripped off, vwhen he caught the eve of a geitle- man presenr, anti referred to several others, all of 'whorn tleclared him tO be a young man, of tnquestionable respectabiiity rcsiditg in a neigkbouring town. AUI sorts of' apologies were made, but they drew Ibrtlt notlitmg but vows of vengearce, attil there the matter ended tot the tisne. CtURIOUS ROBnEtv.-An agreeable-looking young wo- mati, calling herself Jane We.lttcr, apiplied on Tuesday last at oIne of' the inwlt at Bolton for a situation as a servanit; the isistress of the inn, however, had nm iimnectiate vacancy, but refer- red her to 31r. Watson, druggist amid conecctioner, WihO shc undter- stood was ins want of a servant. The young woman accortingly waited upon Alr. an(s o lrs. M7.tson, to w-iom lier appearance and masiners were particularly pleasing: she said slie liatl lived four years in mite service of .llr. Legh, of High l,egh, by whom any applicationl respecting her character woult be satisfactorily answererd. She tde- scribeul herself as a native of' liale, where her father had been a fhr- user. Shie conversed much on the sitiject of her former services and tnentioned the tiames of several respectable families in Warring- ton and Manchester, sonme of whiom Mlir. WVatson kne,v. Shie seem- ed pleased wvith the'idea of being enraged by Mr. Watson, and said shie would take lodgimtgs for an eventng or two until his inquiries re- specting her character should be replied to. In the mean time, she observed, she should be gladl to be useful to Mrs. Watson. Such, however, was the youn, wonian's appearance anid demeanor, that after agreeing upon terms, it was thoughit it would be luttting her to unnecessary expense to let her go into lodgiigs, and they accord- ingly fixed for tier immediately entering upoti her situa'iott. MIr. W1'atson proposing to write ori the following day to MIr. Leghi. During the evening her attention toi her duties justified the goodi opinliont formed of her, and the faamily in due timne retired to rest. in the morning, however, the news' servant was missing, arid it was foundI that every accessible part of' the house ahud, sliopi, dravers, ilesks, and cupboards, had been compIetely ransacked. Early iii the miorning of Wednesday, tine young woman was observed, alotig ivitlh a labouring man, carrying some 1t;:c Iages towards thie coach-offices, b'tt no particular notice was taken of them. Duringtlie tlay, hotvever, she was traced towards Warrington, and &t vigilant lptirsuit has betn commenccd azainst her. On etitcrhig Mtr.XV atson's service, site had in her possession-two elegant searti;, a silk sftawl, and two or three superb pineoshiotis brooclees, &c., whicb she stated were presents maide to her in lter foxhier places of service, but we have just heard that these are. thcproperty on'a respectable family residing between Wigan antd B3olton, whit haid kindly giveni her shelter on the precel- ihlg evening-Livercool Mercry.
