Yesterday -morning some daring thieves broke into the Black Horse public-house, 11igb-street, Alarylebone, by raising the flap of the celUar: they succeded in entering the wine and spirit cellar, and carried away a considerable quantity of wine, brandv, and rum: a bladder was found filled with spirits in the cellar, which the thieves in their hurry left behind: aman is in custody, on sus. picion of being one of the gang. A short time since, the house of Xfr. Kerridge, of thee Bedford Arms, South-street, was entered in a similar manner, when they succeeded in taking away unmolested, nearly 40 gaUons of brandy. lVe yesterday stated that a lad 12 years of age was drowned whilst bathing on Sunday evening, near Battersea-bridge: we learn that it was a young man of much respectability, 20 years of age; and although every means has been resorted to by drags, &c.. to find the body it had not been discovered late yesterday evening. ACCYDENT.-dn Sunday evening, as Master Charles Greville, eldest son of the lion. AIr. GreviUe, of South Audlev- street, was riding a small Spanish genet through Hyde-park, the animal set off at full speed, whilst the rider endeavoured to retain his seat, by clinging to the saddle. The creature broke from the carrage-drive and sn eadeavouring to make for the green open space, struck violent3y against ene of the large elms and both horse and rider were directly overthrown. On being taten up it was ascertain. ed that the young gentleman's arm was broken a little above the elbow, and the cap of the knee had received a very-severe contusion. The Rev. Mr. Bolton, whose carriage drove up it the time, kindly offered the suffering invalid an easy conveyance home, and the favour acknowledged in manly and polite terms. The fractured limb was set soon ater by Surgeon Crosby, and the knee was treated witl- due attention. Noiinternal injury appeared to have been sustained. StUrmDF.On Thursday evening, Stephen Strong, the prize-fighter, better known by the Dnme of Cabba e, after having spent nearly the whole day in drinking, went to St. Lhilip's.-marsh, Bristol, and threw himself into the water. An alarm was imme- diatelv given, but too late to save him, for when brough: on shore the vlial spark had fled. An inquest was held on Saturday evening on the body, when a verdict of Lunac-y was returned. It is stated, that in consequence of a true bill havin been found against him at the last Bristol sessions for being bribed to lose the battle with one Nayley, some time ago, and the evidence of the fact hayiing been gven by himself, had preyed so much on his mind as to induce bine to put a period to his existence. SUICIDE.-A man of the name of Archibald Hamilton, anative, it itt said of the town of Preston pas, and formerly a pri- vate in the Berwickahire Militia cut his throat in a most frightful manner in a field near AMaxweljtown, on the morning of T uesday last. sefirst incision was four inches in lenigth; but not con- tent d 'ith this, he liad m-ade a seconid gashi in a vertical direction, ar1'ith suchascuesz that the ground around was literally dyed ,blood. Still he LA strength enough to crawl 30 yards from ~~~ethe zazor was found lying; and on being carried to the in- birmary, not only survived 24 hours, but actualy smoked the con- tents of three several tobacco-p.pes He also evinced the most eager desire for food, thou-Ih whatever he attempted to swallow immedi- ately issued thripgg the gash in 'the throaf, and in this way occa- sioned thenost violentcoughing. He retainedhissenses to e and when sues,oned on the fubiet motioned sometiing the lct,on trition for is conduct -i but con apathy seemed to be the pre- vailing feeling o't his mind, and, as far as could be observed, lie noieed neither anxious to live nor afraid to die. In his youth the deceased had been bred a shoemaker, but on being discharged from the militia, bad worked wie as a labourer.
