A question between the two markets, Billings. gate and the new Hungerford, of coins importance came on before the LORD MAYOR. It related to the right of aliens or non freemen of the city of London to work at Hungerford market, to the exclusion of the fellowship porters, who are, as is generally known, freemen of the city. The LORD MAYOR was attended by the City solicitor. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared in support of the claims of the fellowship porters, and Mr. Briggs appeared for the proprietors of Runge' ford market. The case was as follows: Mr. Skeat, a salesman of Hungerford market, was summoned for the payment of a sum of money claimed‘va Skeetolsa,hpdahbi dny: refused a aa nqi fellowship eu lalnytt o sya (lof t porterofh%ev potatoes hciomm f pt o ol r a ipn w oeanr o nf r ott k )rhme‘ w v.

O n th e 2d o f A pr il t h e defendant the new Hungerford marker, where the witness and other fellowship porters had been working at pota toes for other merchants, an d d e f en d ant refused h i s application for employment. Witness had for eight years before worked occasionally for the defendant, and knew no reason why he should be deprived of his privilege now. There were 133 sacks of pota toes in all, but he saw no more than 120 landed while he was ready to work, and his hire upon them would amount to 17s. 6d.,being st the rate of three farthings per sack. Witness never before saw the defendant employ foreigners (alias non-freemen). The LORD MAYOR inquired of Mr. Skeet why he refused to employ the freeman and to pay him ? Mr. Briggs stated, upon the part of the Hunger ford Market Company, that, in his opinion, no case had been made out. The LORD MAYOR-•-I rather think there is a case in the evidence I have just heard. Mr. Hobler, jun., contended that, in the simple testimony adduced, a complete case had been made out. The complainant was a member of an ancient fellowship, who, by the customs and charters of London, had a right to ply for hire within the whole of the Lord Mayor's jurisdiction, which extended from Staines to Yantlet Creek. This claim hail been before disputed in the Court of King's Bench, and decisions had been given in its favour. The privilege was also acknowledged by the Act of Parliament which authorized the erection of the new market; which Act, by the 96th clause, saved the rights arid franchises of the citizens of London; and there was no clause in the Act giving the ex clusive power to the proprietors of the market to appoint their own porters. The refusal of the ap plication of a free porter having been thus proved, a case was established. By the first charter of James I. to the citizens of London, the words " all kinds of roots eatable" were introduced, which clearly comprehended potatoes. Mr. Briggs denied that the Hungerford Market Act confirmed the exclusive right of the freemen of London to work at that market; and declared he ei Ts i n t W 3 ly bekge. ary, an pug. eclare this city, bu t t1 : 7 1 „i O 4t :ed that the., ( (01 0. o f lin l, l ike Warsaw , rtiy encanil:,l insurrectio proclaim 1 he people.

FOR EDINBURGH: THE LEITH AND LONDON NEW STEAM-SHIPS, ROYAL WILLIAM and ROYAL ADELAIDE, each 200 horse's power, having continued running during the Winter, are now appointed to sail from the St. Katharine's Dock Wharf, London, and will land their Passengers, &C., in Leith Harbour, as follows: indefatigable swindler. Among them was the following, which will afford a proof of his unparralleled dexterity: A gentleman named Meares, who possessed considerable property, and resided in a northern county, was under temporary embarrassment a few years ago, and in ord e r to avoid the extremity of injuring his estate, looked out for a money lender amongst the variety of advertisements which daily presented themselves. He was unfortunate enough to prefer a circular which had issued from the fertile brain of Coster, and fell into his hands just at the critical moment. The secrecy and expedition with which loans were to he made by the firm to which the circular referred him for the supply of his wants, were an irresistible recommendation, and be immediaiely wrote a letter to the money-lenders, in which he required the sum of 1,0001., upon good security. The letter was answered by Coster in the name of his agents, between whom and Mr. Meares a personal negociation took place, apparently of the most straightforward kind. The money lenders acted with caution, but at the same time with liberality, and their victim was so convinced that he was in the hands of honourable men, that he entrusted to them two hills, accepted by himself, payable at a London banking-house, for 5001. each. No sooner was this asep taken, than the bills were disposed of in a way most suitable to the designs of the firm. The acceptor waited in anxious expectation for the proceeds of his bills, but Coster kept up a slight correspondence with him, merely to lull suspicion. The money, he said, was to be had from a third party, who was out of town, and it should be forthcoming on a certain day. At last the correspond ence ceased altogether upon the part of the swindlers— their object was effected, and they did not wish to be tr iubled with any more expostulations. When the bills came to maturity, Mr. Meares, by the advice of his friends, refused to pay them. Very soon he was threatened with law proceedings by Mr. Coster, who now appeared on the stage as the holder of the bills, and declared that he had given cash for them. The menace pro duced no change in the determination of Mr. Meares, who was ultimately arrested for the amount by Cos ter. The case was tried in the Common Pleas, in Lon don. Coster appeared as a third or fourth endorser on the bid, and the rule of law, that the validity of consideration for a bill endorsed to a third person cannot be impeached, was allowed to prevail, and Coster had a verdict. Some fresh matter was discovered after the COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 1. OPERA HOUSE.-CHAMBERS V. WATERS. Upon the application of Sir EDWARD SUGDEN this case stands appointed for the Ist day of next term. IN RE SIR WILLIAM CLAYTON. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN stated that there was a dispute in this case respecting on which side he Ilould appear—that a brief on both sides had been delivered to him, and that until it was settled which brief he should hold, it would be impossible for this case to come on. In consequence of this vatement the case was ordered to stand over. was aPl'"" that tli te lecee ded 10 efe t ed that the lit .

Mr. Slade had stated in his affidavit, that at the Salisbury assizes he had been engaged as counsel for a prisoner of whom Mr. Bowes was the prosecutor. When the trial came o n it was thought right that the witnesses (two of whom were Mr. Bowes's wife and servant) should be out of court. Mr. Slade had been instructed to ask Mrs. Bowes some questions as to her supposed connection with a Miss Leslie, a female of reputed bad character ; but he objected, considering the ques tions unnecessary, and that they would disagree able to Mrs. Bowes. On her examination, however, part of her evidence appeared to be in direct contra diction to something previously sworn to by the servant, and Mr. Slade, therefore, thought it right to ask Mrs. Bowes whether she knew such a person as MissiLeslie, when she replied that she knew no thing of her beyond seeing her in the shop.

" Sir,—You have been guilty of grossly insulting my wife, and I now call upon you to explain your conduct. If you refuse, I boldly affirm you will be no gentleman, and not a man of honour. If you had any electioneering pique, why did you not insult me, and not a helpless un uliending woman? It was cowardly on your part, and I call on you not to do so again, for if you do, I shall treat you as you deserve. Though I have not the blood of a private soldier in me, you will find I shall not show a white feather. Yours, "J. BOWES. " P.S. A copy of this lies in my shop window." Mr. Slade's affidavit denied any, the slightest, intention of offending Mrs. Bowes; and it stated that, so far from his having any electioneering pique, he did not at the time know in what way Mr. Bowes had voted, or that he had a vote. trial, which induced Mr. Meares to make an application to the Court for a new trial, which was granted, and the case was again beard, but the rule of law waa obstinate, and Coster again had a verdict. Then ►t was that a bill in Chancery was filed by Mr. Meares against Caster to discover the consideration which Lad been given for these bills, and to stay his proceedings in the action. To this bill Coster put in an answer, setting forth his considera . . . : ne „ n ti (Pec k) "XI sure at the suddenness of his removal. The Lord Mayor expressed a hope that Coster wouid arrive safe at his final destination, for he was convinced that the ingenuity of that extraordinary depredator would be exercised in de vising the means of escape. Coster's object was, his Lord &iiiN said, to get off to Bolougne, where there were, as he had been informed from unquestionable authority, mmy English swindlers who would be glad to receive him amongst them. Mr. Holder said that the French authorities never would allow such a dangerous person to remain in that CS.

The LORD MAYOR (to defendant)—Were the men you employed freemen or not ? Defendant—l do not believe they were freemen. Mr. Briggs—Don't answer any question of the kind, for it may subject you to a penalty. The LORD MAYOR—He has already answered the question, and 1 shall decide in favour of the com plainant. The City Solicitor was convinced that his Lord ship was right in the view he had taken. The rights and privileges of the citizens were preserved by the clause of the new Act, and the complainant was entitled to the wages ha demanded. 1 iThe LORD MAYOR—I decide that the complain ant is entitled to the 17s. 6d. country. The Loan MAYOR—I am glad to hear it; and I can tell the French authorities, that there are several swindlers in Bolougne whom I should wish to see here. His Lordship stated that he had learnt several particulars of Coster, which the convict himself did not deny. . . The Court granted a rule Nisi. COSS v. LORD NUGENT.

" Life is only life when blest with health." THE finest System of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, and thus to regulate the Pas sions ; unrestrained, and insubordinate, they impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit their efferves- fence. • Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public wel fare is promoted when professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an un guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people ;" but, it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empy ricism ; and to counteract, as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most com plicated state of exhaustion may he roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi dence in tropics! climes, and many other causes, will fre quently derange the Nervous System ; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHYLIS, can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Sci ence having divested its antidote of those distressing pro perties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly ener getic, and eminently successful. Educated in London, schooled in our professional at tainments by its splendid medical characters, and having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the British Surgical practice with the Continental, our pre tensions to superiority (in a branch w e hav e s e l e ct e d) a r e matured by experience, which is evinced by the daily ap plications we receive, even from distant countries. Daily attendance is given for personal consultation : and letters trom the country are immediately answered ; these i must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicines, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

Prise 59. witch. The following are included in the account of the dex trous management of Coster. That which regards his own family has been gathered from his own lips. His father is a publican and farrier in a village in Oxfordshire, and a quarrel took place between them upwards of twenty four years ago. His father was a religious sectarian, a B iptist or an Anabaptist, Coster did not know or care which, and objected to a matrimonial connexion between his eon and an amiable girl who had considerable property. Coster ran away in consequence of the objeceion of his father, who had never seen him from that time until Alone day last, when an interview took place between the father and his son in the cell. Coster's elder brother was mur dered at Charbro, in Oxfordshire, about six months ago, but Coster never troubled himself about the matter. His sister (lied in St. Luke's madhouse about two years age!. His eldest brother emigrated to America some years ago, arid is now residing about 100 miles eastward of New York, as a general dealer. A few years ago Sheriff Humphery was done by Coster. Coster made a purchase of cider, which was what is called " pricked." He gave for the sour stuff somewhat about 301., and it was to be consigned to him to be delivered from Humpliery's wharf. The Sheriff, knowing something of Caster's character, refused to deliver the cider without the money, and plainly told the consignee that it the cider were given up the consignor would certainly be a loser. The Sheriff at the same time said that he would write to the consignor, very particularly describing the character of his London customer. Coster had arranged the business previously, and the Sheriff received, in answer to his let ter, a note from the cider.tnerchant's clerk, stating that his master was in Ireland, and would not return for three weeks. The Sheriff determined that such a rascal as Coster should not plunder an inexperienced countryman, and persisted in refusing to give up the cider. The delay necessary to accomplish the object of Coster was attained by this means. Coster brought an action against the worthy Sheriff, who thought that he was all this time rendering service to an innocent individual, as well as to the public, for the sum of 2001., the amount charged in the invoice for the cider, and the cider merchant came for ward and swore that Caster had paid him that sum for the beverage. Coster got a verdict for the whole sum. It was true the transaction was a bona fide one; but the cider was every drop of it sour before it was delivered at Sheriff Huniphery's wharf. Upon the trial the Sheriff set up that plea in defence ; but the point was oven uled by the Judge, his Lordship declaring that the period of delay was quite sufficient to turn the cider sour. On another occasion Coster rode into Oxfordshire, having about him 3001. in Back of EDO ,nd notes, a n d several of his own f(bricated bills, amounting to several hundreds. He called on horseback at the banking•bouse at three o'clock in the afternoon, and said he bad a consi derable sum about him, with which he was desirous of opening an account. The banker immediately accepted the account in notes and bills. Coster in a few days drew out 1,6001. of the banker's own notes. A noise was made about the transaction at the time, but as Coster did the thing in another name, it gave him no trouble. A t another time when Coster was in Essex, and after lie had lost all his money at gambling, he played a trick with two 10/. notes of a country bank which had stopped payment. The notes had been presented and marked " payable for the dividend." Coster pasted some paper over this writing, and went to a country general dealer, and purchased several articles of slops, the price of which reached the sum of Si. He tendered one of the notes, which was accepted without hesitation. He then asked the dealer for change of the other and received it, and finding that the poor man was a regular yokel, invited him to an inn to take a glass of wine. When they hid finished a bottle, Cos ter said he fancied a piece of cloth in the dealer's shop, which was worth 251., but he had not so much cash about him. All he had was a bill of exchange for 1501. The yokel took the bill, and gave the cloth and the change to Mt. Coster, who, it might be supposed, would be satisfied with such a caper; but no such thing. The countryman had a watch which he valued at 25/. Coster liked the article, but did not like to part with money at the mo ment ; and the dealer, having the utmost reliance on so extensive a customer, took his bill for the amount at two months' date. This transaction did not take place in his own name ; and in prison he laughed heartily while telling those around him what tools mankind was made of. In answer to a question, low he could carry on such barefaced villainies?—be replied, that he never had any difficulty in finding plenty of foals who were to be gulled by the mere show of simplicity and honesty; and that after one or two ingenious transactions, the face and incli nation went very cordielle together. The premises in Great Sr. Helens are known to have been the depositary of all sorts of plunder, and the greatest astonishment was often excited in the neighbourhood at the variety and the number of the articles received at the house. A very ingenious plan had been concocted about some chemical bricks by Coster, for the purpose of getting hold ofsome premises in Salmon's-lane, Limeliouse ; but the landlord having got the wink, the design was abandoned. Coster refused to sees his lather on Mousey at first, but he soon consented ; and after the departure of the letter, lie said, " My father told me be had often heard of me, but never could get to see Ilse ; but that hearing I was in Newgate he came to the prison, as be thought I could not get out of that." In speaking of the Lord Mayor, he said, " When Laurie first had me, I did not Ike his prophetic words. He told me that he'd have me, as sure as I was born, and he kept his word " FURTHER PARTICULARS. The Lord Mayor received some communications within the last few days relative to Coster, explanatory of the tremendous system of robbery pursued by that expert and tion, which, as he was a merchant and general dealer, com prehended a vast assemblage of articles, amongst which were jewellery, clocks, musical snuff-boxes, watches, hats, Leghorn bonnets, coals, veils, boots, velvet, and cutlery. He thus established lids consideration for the hills which had passed into his hands from some other merchants (whose firms he himself constituted), but who no longer existed than was consistent with the accomplishment of Coster's schemes of plunder. The result of all these proceedings was, that Mr. Meares was obliged to take up his bills, and pay all the expenses which bad been in curred by those long-pending and extraordinary trans actions, and which, as may well be imagined, reached a ve ry large amount. As soon as the capital punishment in cases of forgeries of bank notes was commuted for the penalty of transporta tion for life, Coster then began to try his hand at this (to him) new experiment. He commenced in a masterly and an extensive manner, and caused notes to be struck off in Birmingham with great accuracy of resemblance to the genuine issues. The solicitors to the Bank had, we are given to understand, received intelligence of this fact, through the numerous and mysterious sources of informa tion which they possess, and it is believed that, if his finances had been more flAurisbing, he would not have ex posed himself so much to detection as he did on the oc casion upon which he was apprehended. The Lord Mayor has been informed that one of the first occasions upon which Coster tried his luck with forged notes was at Harlow Bush Fair last year. He then bought a horse of a gentleman for the sum of 90 guineas, and in a dashing style paid the amount in Birmingham made notes. The imposition was of course soon detected, and an officer was sent to take the delin quent (who had been actual) , seen riding the horse in town) into custody. The officer apprehended Coster, who expressed the utmost astonishment at the offer of such an insult, and called himself a gentleman in so resolute a manner that his word was taken, and he escaped. The solicitors to the Bank received intimation of this offence, but at too late a period to avail themselves of it in their prosecution of the delinquent. It is rather singular that the last effort at imposition made by Coster was aimed against Byers, his fellow pri soner in Giltspur-street Compter. It was known to Coster that Byers, with whom he had, we have good reaso❑ to suppose, never been previously acquainted, had the command of some money. The temptation to do so clever a fellow had no doubt its charms for Coster, inde pendently of the pecuniary advantage which might be derived from the experiment. He accordingly assured Byers that a friend of his would assist him cut of his diffi culty for a sum of money, and that that friend would ap pear at the Mansion-house on the second day of Byers's examination. Notwithstanding the wish for• liberty, Byers suspected Coster's sincerity so much, that he wou d not consent to part with a farthing while under lock and key. " No," said Coster, "if you don't trust to my honour, I'll see you cursed before I do anything for you." " Why," said Byers, " you certainly are very disinterested, for if you could get me out, you certainly might as well get out yourseV." It was Byees's practice to come over to England from Boulogne about four times a year to receive, as he spread the report, his rents. Upon each occasion he made a eweep among the mercantile men in various districts, with his false checks, and be generally completed his quarterly business in a very few hours. He then returned to Bou logne, and lived like a gentleman, giving very hospitable entertainments, and associating with persons of character and fortune. It is said taat he has had an assistant of considerable talents, and that he cleared by his ingenious .scheme upwards of 2,0001. a year. A part of the body of an infant was discovered by some children at Bayston hill, near this town, this week, in a horribly mutilated state. The unconscious youths were amusing themselves with the head and neck of the corpse, when some of their parents discovered the appalling plaything ; and, after considerable search, caused the alleged mother, MAR! PERKINS, to be apprehended, and committed to our gaol to take her trial for the m order.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. On Thursday last, pursuant to requisitions duly presented to the Mayor for that purpose, two public meetings were held at the Shire-hall in this city. The first was " for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament to repeal the house and window tax, with such other taxes as press unduly upon the less affluent and industrious classes, to their inconvenience and the detriment of society, and to substitute some mode of taxation by which property may be more certainly made to hear the burdens of its own protection." The resolutions were carried.— Gloucester Journal. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.--011 Monday afternoon an inquest: was held before Mr. litcos, at the Strand hotel, opposite Somerset House, on the body of an infant, aged four months, the son of a:policeman of F Divi sion, named KititsitAw. The parents reside at 14, Angel. court, Strand. A lodger, named Mrs. SARAH ROSE, stated that on Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. KERSHAW came into witness's room with the deceased in her arm., and inquired of witness if she could inform her what was the matter with the child, which was screaming violently ? Witness a , ked Mrs. KERSHAW what she had given the intant, and can her replying that she had adini nistered to it some syrup of poppies, the witness remarked that she must h ave g i ven i t somet hi ng e l se , as the child's mouth, neck, and clothes appeared as if they' ha d been burnt, and th e i nfant was ,j at t h e same ti me , n early choked. Mrs. KErtsaaAw appeared much alarmed, and declared, " Dear me, I hope 1 have not made a mistake, and given my child vitriol instead of the syrup of poppies." The mother immediately ran down stairs, and ascertained that such was the fact. Witness proceeded with the child to Mr. SNITCH, of Brydges-street, surgeon, but his efforts to save the child were fruitless, and death took place in two hours.—lt ap peare d t h at t h ere were two b ot tles in the cup board, one c un t l i n i ng o il o f v i tr i o l an d t he other syrup of puppies. The phials were like each other in appearance. Tha Jury returned a verdict o Accidental Death. of unsound mind. As no opposition was offered on the part of Mr. Thresher there was no argument, Dr. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of Miss Douglas, merely detailing the contents of the libel, whence it appeared that Mr. Thresher, who wa, an incumbent of a living in Hamp shire, made proposals of marriage to Miss Douglas in 1830, but the young lady being only 17,her mother (appointed by the will of Admiral Douglas her guardian) declined accepting them. The proposals were renewed next year and acceded to and the parties were married on the Ist of December, 1831. Prior to the marriage, however, Mr. Thresher gave tokens of derangement of mind, his conduct at the ceremony was strange, and in a very few days after the mar riage he was decidedly insane. Under medical care and treatment he grew calm, but did not perfectly recover, and sub , equently relapsed into derangement. Sir JOHN NICHOLL considered that there was sufficient proof, not only of derangement subsequent to the marriage, but prior thereto, in the strange conduct of the defendant, and in the admission made by him in a lucid interval that he had no recollection of what took place at the time of the marriage, and he was therefore bound, observing the degree of caution required from the Court in such cases, and with due regard to the legal rights of the parties, to pronounce the marriage null and void. A melancholy and fatal accident occurred to GEORGE CLAYTON Rorie, Esq., of Clareston, near Ha verfordwest, on Wednesday evening. While retiring to rest, the candle, which he had placed near to the bed, caught the clothes, and the unfortunate gentleman was so dreadfully burnt, that he lingered until 10 o'clock on Thursday night, when he expired.—Hereford Journal. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—DEATH BY A POISONOUS HERTh—On Tuesday the 16th of April, W. Ross, of Macgillandris, a small farmer in the vicinity of Tain, died su idenly from having eaten the root of the plant commonly called monk's-hood (the aconitunt napellus). Ross was for many years a gardener, and had, or pretended to have, considerable skill in treating several diseases by the administration of herbs. His daughter had got a root of monk's-hood in a neighbouring garden, and bought it to her father. He mistook it for some other plant, and commenced chewing it, when in a very short time he was taken ill. Dr. Minot° was sent for, but ere he arrived it was too late ; the unfortunate man lingered an hour or two, and then died. Monk's hood, or wolf's•bane, is a plant very much cultivated in our gardens. It has a beauti ul flower, and it is one of the most active of our vegetable poisons.—lt produces re markable debility of the limbs, convulsive motions of the face, vomiting, delirium, and death. Its leaves have no smell, but possess an acrid taste.—Edinburgh Paper. SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— On Tuesday morning, just as the relief of the King's Guard, formed of the 2d regiment of Life Guards, had mustered on the open space of ground opposite Knightsbridge bar. racks for inspection, previous to mounting, a respectably dressed young woman, who was standing amongst the crowd generally assembled there, uttered a loud scream, and then set off running in a state of desperation to the side of the Serpentine river ; on reaching which she tore off her bonnet and cap, and throwing them into the water, pinged headlong in herself and immediately disappeared. A cry was instantly rai,ed that a woman was drowning, and one of the privates in the Guards, whose name, we are informed, is JOHN MITCHELL, directly started from the ranks, and, accoutred as he was, in full regimentals, with cuirass, helmet, &c., jumped in at the spot where the young woman had sunk, and in a short time brought her ashore in his arms, amidst the cheers of those who wit nessed his heroic conduct. She was apparently lifeless, but on being conveyed to the receiving-house of the Royal Humane Society, and the usual restorative measures being employed, she was brought to a state of consciousness, and was afterwards conveyed in a chaise to St. George's work house, until her friends could be sent to. From the ac count she gave of herself, it appears that her name is MARY ANN EATON, and the daughte r of reputable patents, living in i Whi te 's -buildings, Coleman-street, i n the city. About six months ago she became acquainted with a private in the 2d regiment of Life Guards, who, having gained her affections, prevailed upon her to abandon her parents, and ultimately effected her ruin, under a promise of marrying her directly he could obtain leave from the regiment. She, however, ascertained, on Monday last, that he was a mar ried man, and the father of a family, and she bad on Tues day morning waited for him at the barracks, intending to reproach him. with his perfidy, when, on seeing him in the ranks, her feelings so overcame her, that she knew not what she was doing. Sbe was afterwards restored to her friends. It is hardly necessary to add, that Mizoram., who so generously risked his own life to ;are hero, is net her seducer. Mr. Briggs—l refuse, upon the part of the pro prietors, to pay it. The LORD MAYOR—Then, Mr. City Solicitor, proceed at once for the penalty. A lawyer's bill of, no doubt, considerable length, thus springs out of a question of apparently great simplicity. W 0 RSHIP-STREET. A young woman of prepossessing appearance, who gave her name Fanny William, but whose real name is Fanny Seyton, was brought before Mr. BROUGHTON, by police constable 217 G, charged with being drunk and disorderly on Monday night, in Friendly-place, City-road, a place inhabited solely by prostitutes of every description. In consequence of the officer having informed the Magistrate that the prisoner had twice attempted to take away her life by poison, the latter was in duced to put several questions to her. In answer to them she said that she had been seduced from Wales about five years ago, and that the reason she endeavoured to destroy herself was in consequence of the ill-treatment she had since experienced from her guilty companions, and the refusal of her parents to take her back again. Mr. BROUGHTON—What is your father ? Pri soner—He is a baker now, at Bridgnorth. Mr. BROUGHTON-- Should you like to go home ? —Yes. Mr. BROUGHTON—ShaII I write to them ?—lt's of no use; they won't take me back. I went into Wales a short time after I came to town, with the little money I had saved, to beg their forgive ness, but they then refused to have any thing to do with me. Mr. BROUGHTON—They may repent now. At all events I will write a letter to your father. Fathers are often more forgiving than mothers are. —Thank you, Sir; but I am afraid it will be of no use. The worthy Magistrate told the prisoner he should then discharge her, but desired her to call at the office on Saturday, when, probably, he should have received an answer to his letter. MARY LEB ONE. A QUEER AND EXPENSIVE LODGING.--Mr. An thony Pearson Watson, of South Audley-street, Oxford -street, was brought up on the following charge : Edward Franks, driver of hackney-coach 938, said—'' Please your Vorship, this 'ere gemman called my vehicle, about three o'clock on Sunday morning, from off the stand at the corner of Bond street, and told me to drive him to Bayswater, and arter that to Shepherd's Bush, then to Notting-hill, and back again to Oxford-street ; but. when I leached there I axed him at what part I should set him down. ' Bayswater Church:, said he, that's where I lives.' Thither I took him, but could only find out a chapel, and that not being wot the gem man wanted, I axed him to get out of my coach. This he refused to do, and I then conveyed him to the station-house." Mr. RAWLINSON—WeIi, Sir, what have you to say to all this ? Defendant (smiling)—Nothing particular. I stopped out rather later than usual, and I didn't like to disturb the inmates of the house, so I thought I would have a coach and drive about till morning. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeIi, you must now pay the coachman's fare, 12s. Gd., and Is. Gd. for his los s of time. Defendant—That, Sir, I'll do with pleasure. He then paid 155., including his discharge fa his night's lodging, and left the office seemingly quite satisfied with the accommodation. HATT ON GARDEN. ste F p o ii ß ei G l EßY.
