At Hatton Garden Police Oflice yesterday, Christopher Charles Foster, S.

G. Foster, and Jonas King Murphy, were charged with being concerned in forgeries in the City, to the amount, it was stated, of 30,000/. The parties had absconded on Sunday last ; and were traced by a police-officer to Liverpool, and thence to Dublin, where they had taken their passage in a ship toArnerica. To avoid detection, they had sailed out to sea in an open boat to meet the American packet, and they were chased in another boat by the officer and Iris party, well arrned,Iyho captured them in their boat. Only 100/. was found in their Possession. They were removed for examination to the Mansionbouse.

At the Marylebone Office, on Monday, Martha Handeox, a very dashing woman of middle age, who has lived for upwards of seventeen years as lady's maid with Mrs. Collins, of Manchester Square, was charged with being concerned in robbing her mistress of jewels, to the amount of 2000/. The evidence was not sufficient to convict the pri- soner of the robbers-, and she was discharged. As the Duke of Wellington was coming from the House of Lords, on. Monday evening, a mob collected around him, and by hooting, hissing, and menacing, they caused some apprehensions for his per- sonal - sonal safety n the minds of Lords Londonderry, Rosslyn, and two other Peers, whom we could not recognize ; and those noblemen, sup- ported by a numerous troop of police-soldiers, formed a guard of laonour. to the noble Duke, and conducted him in a sort of sham triumph to his bureau in Downing Street.— True Sun. Tile Honourable Mr. Charles Murray Lascelles met with a serious accident last Saturday morning. He was riding a spirited horse in Ilyde Park, when the animal became unmanageable, and ran off at full gallop through the Cumberland Gate along the Uxbridge Road. Near Brsyswater, he came in contact with a horse and cart standing in ethe road: the,eartmamoverturned, the horse killed, and Mr. Lascelles

was thrown off with such violence as to be quite insensible for some time. He was taken to his house in Halkin Street, and was consi- dered to be in great danger of his life.

The Stock-Exchange on Saturday morning was the scene of a pugi- listic contest between two members of the establishment. It origi- nated in some misunderstanding relative to n transaction in Redruth shin-es ; when one party, considering himself aggrieved, pronounced the other a cheat ; whereupon he received a blow in the eye which laid him prostrate. A regular scuffle then ensued, and blows were given and received, until the standers-by, who at first thought it was merely a "lark," interposed. The Committee of the Stock-Exchange took the matter up, and compelled the aggressor, or the party who used the " opprobrious term," to make a very humble public apology. 'The inhabitants of the north-end of Bond Street, have, for the last three weeks, been disturbed by violent attempts to obtain possession of a house and shop in that proximity, and as warm a defence of their castle by those in possession of it. On one occasion, the assailants attacked the doors with sledge-hammers, while the besieged defended themselves by throwing ehop-weights, and pouring aquafortis upon

the besiegers. A few mornings since, twenty men are said to have assembled for the purpose of renewing the attack, but were prevented by the appearance of the Police. The siege has since been converted into a blockade, successive guards marching day and night in front of the house ; the doors of which exhibit striking marks of the resistance they have opposed to the assailants.

A fire broke out on Saturday evening in a room on the first floor of Lord Dinorberna house in South Aridly Street. The prompt arrival of a number of firemen and engines saved the house itself from being seriously.injured ; but a large quantity of superb arid expensive furniture in several rooms on the first and second floors, to which the fire ex- tended, was destroyed, or irretrievably injured. The fire is supposed to have arisen from a foul flue.

A considerable quantity of valuable plate has been stolen from the house of Mr. Rogers, in Sr. James's Place. The supposed thief was a trusted servant of Mr. Rogers for seven years.

A new gambling-house has been opened in St. James's Street, and another in the unfashionable neighbourhood of Tottenham Street, Tottenham Court Road. At the latter women are admitted !
