      Robbery In An Omnibus.—Mrs. Greaves, A W...

      Robbery in an Omnibus . —Mrs . Greaves , a widow lady has been robbed of her purse , containing a 1001 bank-note and 21 . 10 s . in . gold , while riding in an omnibus from the Borough to the Kingsland-road . When she got into the vehicle at the former place , she desired to be put down at King ' s Cross , where she lived , to which the conductor replied , " All . right , " and the omnibus then proceeded , as Mrs . Greaves thought , in the direction that she wanted to go . After she bad ridden some distance on the road , another person got into the omnibus , on which a young woman , who had hitherto been sitting opposite Mrs . Greaves , shifted on to the same side , and sat down close against that lady . When they had gone about a mile further , the young woman appeared to pass something to the conductor , who thrust his hand inside the omnibus ; she then abruptly got up

      from her seat , left the omnibus , and ran away as fast as she could , without paying . Shortly afterwards , Mrs . Greaves discovered that she had been driven in a very different direction from that of her own home , and , on alighting , discovered that her pocket had been cut , and her purse stolen . She suspected the young woman who had previously got out without paying to be the person who had robbed her , and that the conductor was also concerned in the affair , as he refused , when Mrs . Greayes mentioned the circumstance to him , to tell her anything about the woman . She was afterwards recognized by Mrs . Greaves at the House of Detention , where she had been taken by the police . The conductor of the omnibus was apprehended at the stableyard kept by his employer in the Borough . " He and the woman were brought before the Worship-street magistrate , and remanded .

      Advknturous Thieves . —A man named Elton has been examined at Marlborougli-street on a charge of committing a burglary in Dudley-street , Seven Dials . A , policeman , about five o'clock in . the morning , saw Elton and two other men go to the shop in question ( a leather seller ' s ) , wrench away a shutter , take out a pane of glass , remove a quantity of leather , take it to an adjoining house , return to the shop , and carry away more property . All this while , the policeman was watching , concealed in a doorway . He afterwards took Elton into custody , but the other men escaped . Elton was committed for trial .

      Oxford Examinations at Manchester . — It is proposed that the Oxford scheme for examinations of private middle-class schools shall be carried out in Manchester next June- At a meeting of schoolmasters of that city and ^ the neighbourhood , on Wednesday evening , it was resolved to apply ' for the services of the Oxford examiners accordingly , provided a sufficient number of candidates be obtained . The Assassination Fr-OT . —A reward of 200 / . has besn offered for the apprehension of Mr . Thomas Allsop , the Englishman supposed to be implicated in the attempt of the 14 th of January . He is about sixty years of age , and was a member of the Stock Exchange and a friend of the poet Coleridge , who at one time resided with him .

      The Cape of Good Hope . — By the last advices from the Cape , we learn thnt Sir George Grey was making arrangements for visiting the frontier , a duty which had been postponed in consoquence of the urgency of the intelligence from India . Colonel D'Urban , the newly appointed Com mandant of B ritish Kaffraria , and Colonel Dutton arrived at the Cape in the Ida Zegler on the 28 th of December . It ia rumoured that head-quarters are to be removed from Graham ' s Town to Cape Town . Three noted Kaffir chiefs are at present confined in the Cape Town gaol , and several others have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment . The tribes have been broken up , and the destitute are scattered among the English and Fingoes in search of food . has shot himself in

      Suicide . — A man , named Turner , the streets at Portsmouth . He had been in the service of Captain Eveleigh , but bad been dismissed on account of getting drunk , and conducting himself in a grossly improper manner . On Friday week , ho enlisted into the North Lincoln Militia ; and , on the following day he called on his late mastor , and begged forgiveness , which , however , was refused . Shortly afterwards , ho shot himself . Polish Deputation . — A deputation , composed of Majors Gielgud and Ssaulcssewski , Captain Ordon , and Mr . F . Hankowaki , presented , last Saturday , from thoir countrymen in England , an address to the French Ambassador , assuring him that they fully participate in the fooling with which tlio late attempt upon the lives of the Emporor and Einpross of the French has" inspired all classes in this country ,

      London, Friday Evening, February 12. So ...

      London , Friday Evening , February 12 . So great has been the influx of gold , and so slight the demand for accommodation , that the Bank authorities , to keep pace with the rival establishments , have again reduced the rate to 3 per cent . As yet commercial enterprise has not recovered the late crisis , and all produce languishes . The purchases in the funds have been steady and . continuous , and the price of Consols this evening for money is very fairly 96 . , . _ ,. Foreign stocks have also been in demand . Turkish isix per Cents , are now above par , and look to go higher . Peruvian and Russian and Brazilian are also still well supported . The Foreign Share market is steady , and well supported . East Indians on the account , which has just passed , were slightly depressed ; but the already guaranteed lines are ia demand , on account . ' of a statement that has appeared , declaring that the East India Company will grant no more

      guarantees at 5 per cent . The Brazilian Railway guaranteed shares are still well held , and show no signs of weakness . In Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of Canada the receipts authorize the improvement in price . In the heavy share market the continuation prices , owing to easy money and alight bull account , are 1 percent , higher . Caledonians have given way slightly ; the efforts of the bears to depreciate the stDck , however , will not do away with the forthcoming report . Berwicks and Great Northern are sickly , though in Great Northern the preference shares—A and B shares—are in demand . In Joint-Stock Banks there has been a good demand—all preference and guaranteed shares , and good Joint-Stock Bank shares . Dock and insurance companies are being quietly absorbed . These disposed of , the price of common stock and shares of dividend-paying companies will improve ; and if money still continues at present rates , a fine field forstagging and mushroom adventures or all sorts . wm be opened .
