An annan TorararawacitE's COACH max.—Wrhile Admiral Tollemache was attending the
Society for Evangelizing the Natives of the Continent, on Wednesday, at Freernasiins' Tavern, his coachman kept driving furiously up and down Great Queen Street, and finished by driving over a poor man who was accidentally crossing. So much for the Christian servants of Evangelical naval officers !
A fellow of genteel appearance contrived on Thursday evening to obtain
admission to the house 3Ir. Holmes, ALP., on pretence of visiting Lady Strong. (Mr, Hohnes's lady.) lie gave his name as a Mr. Grant ; and while the servant went up stairs to announce him, lie slipped into the par- lour :old began to disinenniber the sideboard of its contents. Luckily the silver slalom; jingled, and the servant coining down stairs to see what was the matter, found the fellow attempting to escape at the street-door. He was immediately seized, and conveyed to the watchhouse. Dan e Rominny—Mr. William Pegg, of Aldersgate Buildings, Was attacked by three men when returning homeward by Hackney Downs on Saturday night : they tied a handkerchief over his face, and after threatening to non der him it' he made the slightest noise, robbed him of nineteen sove- reigns and 4/. 1G,. in silver. ROBBERY AND Munnata—In the beginning of the month, a poor paralysed creature, a beggar in the neighbourhood of 'Roscommon, was robbed, and so inhumanly treated that he expired in a few days after. The aaa-aa,i saaith s he was immediately

Ill'biloughlin is a little fellow, and the Glasgow Chronicle adds, " of by no means a prepossessing appearance." We should have wondered if he were.
