      Kobbbby in an Omnibcs . —Mrs . Greaves , a widow ladv has been robbed of her purse , containing a 100 / bank-note and 21 . 10 s . in gold , while riding in an omnibus from the Borough to the Kingsland-road . When she cot into the vehicle at the former place , she desired to be put down at King ' 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 had 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 yonng 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 . Greaves 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 beep taken by the police . The conductor of the omn ibus 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 .

      Adventurous Thieves . —A man named Elton has been examined at Marlborough -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 andjthe 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 Plot . —A reward of 200 ? . has bean 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 that Sir George Grey was making arrangements for visiting the frontier , a duty which had been postponed in consequence of the urgency of the intelligence from India . Colonel D'Urban , the newly appointed Commandant of British Kaffraria , and Colonel Dutton arrived at the Cape in the Ida Zegle ' r 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 tho destitute are scattered among the English and Fingoes in search of food . has shot himself in

      Suicide . —A man , named Turner , tho streets at Portsmouth . He had been in the service of Captain Eveloigh , but had 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 tho following day he called on his lato master , and bogged forgiveness , which , however , was refused . Shortly afterwards , he shot himself . , ' Polish Deputation . — A deputation , composed oi Majors Giolgud and Szulczowski , Captain Ordon , and Mr . F . Hankowski , presented , last Saturday , from their countrymen in England , an address to the French Ambassador , assuring him that they fully participate in tho feeling with which tho late attempt upon tho lives of tho Emperor and Empress of tho French has inapirod all classes in this country .

      v London , Friday Evening , February 12 . So great has been the influx of gold , and so slight the demand for accommodation , that the Sank 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 bix 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 slightlv depressed ; but the already guaranteed lines are ra 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 a light bull account , are 1 per cent , higher . Caledonians have given way slightly ; the efforts of the bears to depreciate the stDck , however , w ill not do away with the forthcoming report . Berwicfcs and Great Northern are sickly , though in Great Northern the preference shares—A and B shares—are in demand . In Joint-Stock Banks there Jxas 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 for stagging and mushroom adventures of all sorts will be opened .
