SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) _Richard Hodnott and Se lonzcns Lbons, two members of the swell mob, commonly call, d " nublers," were brought before Mr. Traill, charged with assaulting Robert Elsworthy and Richard Dolby, in the Bridge-house public-house, Borough-road, and stealing from the latter a gold union-pin and a silver watch.  Dolby said that he was a City policeman, and on the previous evening went to the Surrey theatre with his friend. About a quarter past one o'clock this morning, as they were leaving the theatre, they went into the above public-house, and called for a pipit of hall-and-half. While there, Hodnott asked his friend Elsworthy, whether he knew any person in the " City Detective Force," at the same time Lyons suddenly struck him a severe blow in the mouth, and snatched the ends of his stock from his neck, on which was fixed a gold union pin. At the same tune he lost his watch, but he could not swear who was the party that took it, as he bad not recovered from the blow. Lyons made his escape, and Hadnott ran out of the house, but was captured within a few yards of the Borough-m.d School. After he was conveyed to the station. house, they went in search of Lyons, and found him in his lodgings. The ends of the stock and part of the union-pin ws also found there. Elsworthy said he was a clerk, and after they left the theatre he accompanied Dolby into the above public• house. While he was in conversation with Hodnott, Lyons struck Dolby and snatched his stock, and as he was in the act of assisting him, Hodnott struck him two blows on the face. They had nothing more to drink than a pint of half-andhalf.  Brown, the landlord of the house, said that be saw the complainants enter his house and call for a pint of half-and-half, and two glasses of spirits for some females they had with them. The prisoners knowing the girls, were rather jealous, and some words ensued, which turned to blows. He did not zzee any robbery committed. In answer to fir. Trail, witness said that the prisoners frequented his house, but he did not know what employment they followed. The complainants denied being in company with any females, or calling for any liquor. All they had was a pint of half-and-half.  A constable of the M division said that the house was frequented by very bad characters, and that the prisoners were well known as " noblers."  Mr. TRAIL', said that it was case which ought to go before a jury. He should, therefore, commit them for trial.  LAMENTABLE Suicina.—This morning an act of determined suicide was committed near the powder magazine, Hyde-park. Shortly before ten o'clock a welldressed man was noticed to walk from the direction of Cum. berland-gate ; his manner attracted the attention of some persons, who suspected he was insane. On arriving near the magazine, he drew a pistol out of his waistcoat and discharged the contents through his head and immediately fell; several persons ran to the spot, but so effectual was the act that life was extinct, the whole of the upper part of the head being shattered to pieces. The body was conveyed to the barracks on the north bank of the Serpentine, and from papers found on the unfortunate gentleman's person, there is every reason to suppose that his name is Elliott, and that his residence is Porchester-terrace, Bayswater. A large quantity of papers connected with several railways in diffeieut parts of the kingdom was found in his pockets.
