A HAWKER was charged this imorning before Mr. Wadehouse with breaking open the window of Godown No. 43, Praya East, and attempting to steal sandalwood therefrom on the 1st instant.
The Chinese watchman, employed by Mess. Siemssen & Co., saw the defendant about 8 pai. on Saturday in the act of climbing up to one of the windows of the godown from the Paya,
opening it, and putting his band in and pulling
of him, when the prisoner jumped down from out some sandalwood. The watchman got hold
the window, a height of only live feet, and
ran away, but was followed by the watch meth and arrested. The sandalwood was
the property of Messrs. Siemssen & Co. The window was secured by a piece of wood fixed across it on the outside, and the hawker had broken off one end of this and then opened the window. The prisoner, who said he saw the window open and was simply slutting, it without any intention of stealing anything, was com mitted for four mouths with hard labor. Four previous convictions which were found to be re corded against him, did not tend to strengthen his defence.

On the occurrence of a vacancy Father M'Cabe was promoted to the charge of the wealthy and extensive parish of Kingstown, and was later on admitted to the Papal Prolature, as Honorary Chamberlain to Pope Pius IX. His administrative ability and knowledge of Diocesan affairs procured him a place in the Chapter of the Diocese, of which he was subsequently ap pointed one of the Vicars-General.
