Mr. John Jebb, late an officer in the Army, was committed to prison, in default of bail, yesterday, from this office, on a charge of writing several letters to Mr. Edward Davies Davenport, formerly Member for Stockport, tending to excite a breach of the peace. It appeared that the defendant had some disagreement with a deceased brother of Mr. Davenport about the sale of a horse, but had no com- plaint against Mr. Davenport himself.

Samuel Cox, a private in the Foot Guards, was remanded on Tues- day from the Queen Square Office, charged with stealing some flannel and other articles from Mrs. Wright, housekeeper to the House of Lords, on the night of the fire.

At the same office, on the previous Saturday, Christopher Johnson, a private in the Second Battalion of Coldstream Guards, and James Hope, a lad, were charged with unlawfully possessing moulds and other implements for manufacturing counterfeit shillings, and also with hav- ing base coin in their possession. It appeared that three Policemen, from information received, went to the house No. 1, Rochester Row, Tuthill Fields, where the prisoners lodged in a garret. On entering the room, the officers were convinced that coining had been recently going on there. The prisoner Johnson was in the room, dressed in his regimentals, and his side-arms hanging by his side ; the other prisoner was also in the apartment. After a strict search, a mould for making shillings and sixpences, and a number of coining implements and coun- terfeit coin, were found in the room. Johnson, in his defence, said Mat a man whom he described, but whose name he did not know, had left the articles in question at his residence. Both prisoners were re- mended.

Vincent Andrews, also a private in the Coldstream Guards, was held to bail on a charge of pilfering an inkstand and pepper-box, which he picked up on the night of the Great Fire.

The reporter who was excluded from the Marylebone Police Office by Mr. Shutt, the Magistrate, resumed his occupation in the office last Saturday. Ile complained of his exclusion to Mr. Spring Rice, who acts at the Home Office for Lord Duncannon, and who immediately interfered in his behalf. This will be a lesson to Mr. Shutt, who was over-hasty in his conduct.

On Monday last, a box containing 1000 sovereigns was sent from the house of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., to Bloomfield's waggon-office in Farringdon Street. to be taken to the house of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., bankers, of Bath. The first driver drove twenty-four miles, and the waggon was then consigned to another, who drove about the same distance, and was relieved by a third. When the waggon reached Bat b, the box was missed. The box was insured for 1001.

A great quantity of tobacco having been lately missing from the London Dock warehouses, the officers recently determined on making a stricter search then usual among the labourers when they concluded their day's work ; and on Saturday and Monday, on overhauling them, they found a quantity of tobacco stowed away about the persons of fourteen Irishmen, who had secreted it in their clothes; with an inten- tion, as they said, of chewing and smoking it. The delinquents were forthwith taken before Mr. Combe, at the Thames Police-office ; and be was about to commit them for trial ; but the.authorities of the Dock not being able to identify the tobacco, though they had no moral doubt as to where it came from, the Magistrate convicted them summarily, under the Police Act, for having unlawful possession of the tobacco. Seven of the prisoners were fined forty shillings each, and the others in various penalties, varying from ten shillings to thirty shillings each ; which they all paid.

On Wednesday evening, a quantity of valuable property was stolen from the residence of Mr. Justice Gaselee, No. 2, Upper Bedford Place, Russell Square, consisting of a gold watch, chain and seals, a bag containing seven sovereigns, a quantity of bracelets, brooches, rings, and other articles of jewellery of considerable value. The felony is supposed to have been committed by some of the sevunts or their followers.

About two months ago, a man who used to sell fruit, &c. in the new English Opera-house, was bitten by a cat, which he was endea- vouring to drive out of the theatre. After a little inflammation, the

wound, which was very blight apparently, healed ; but on Sunday last, he was attacked with symptoms of hydrophobia, and was carried the next day to the Charing Cross Hospital, and died on the following Wednesday, after taking several powerful medicines amid receiving unremitting attention.

A warrant of distress for arrears of church-rates was issued on Tuesday against the goods of Mr. Richard Carlile, the bookseller in Fleet Street, and placed in the hands of a broker ; who, accompanied by some of the City Police, went for the purpose of making a seizure. Placards had been for some time past placed in the shop-window, de. daring Carlile's determination riot to pay any more church-rates; but when the broker came, he was allowed to seize a sufficient number of almunacks to satisfy the amount of his demand, and to bring them away with him, without any obstruction being offered on the part of Carlile. Soon after the officers had left the premises, Carlile took out the sa she of the windows on the first floor, and placed in one of them a stuffed figure of a Bishop in full robes, with the words " Spiritual Broker," and in the other window a figure representing the person by whom the seizure was made, with the words " Temporal Broker," and between the windows a large placard, " Seized for church-rates." This exhibi. tion caused a crowd of persons to collect together ; and in a short time the pavement of Fleet Street was rendered completely impassable. The Lord Mayor arrived on the spot soon after four o'clock, and a party of Policemen were immediately directed to disperse the crowd. The Lord Mayor desired that Carlile would remove the figures from the windows ; which he at first refused to do ; but, on being told that the Police would be ordered to remove them if he did not, he took them away from the window ; and the mob dispersed. Shortly after. wards, Carlile again exhibited the figures at the further end of his shop, but there they attracted very little notice.

Considerable confusion was created on Saturday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, at the Colonial Office, by the breaking out of a fire at the rear of the premises fronting St. James's Park. The build- ing was shortly filled with smoke; and a portion of a wall from which the fire issued was quickly knocked away by some polite who were sent for; when it appeared that a large beam near the brewery was in flames. By some exertion, the beam was pulled down, and the fire ex- tinguished ; but not before it had done much damage.
