The Board of Guardians of the Halsted Union have come to a resolution to adopt the system of medical clubs. It is to take effect after Michaelmas next, and is to comprehend two classes—the first " to include all those indi viduals residing in the district on whose behalf the guardians think proper to subscribe from the parochial funds. The se cond class to include all persons of the labouring order who shall desire to become free subscribers to the said medical clubs. The terms of subscription to both classes to be the same." The medical gentlemen residing in the Union have been invited to send in proposals to attend such parishes as may suit their convenience.—Essex Herald. Extract of a letter from Cracow, dated the 18th ult.: Every day a new blow is struck against our consti tutional charter. Thus, after the last note of the residents of the self-styled protecting powers, another has appeared, de manding first that the head of the police shall be named by the Three Powers, that is to say, by their residents ; and next, that the funds destined for the high police shall be taken from those of the University. And yet, after all this they talk of the inviolability o f our C onst i tut i on . A n English Consul is to come to this city ; and what proves it is, that the residents of Russia and Prussia are doing all in their power to engage the senators not to recognise this diplomatist. It is to be hoped that none of them will be cowardly enough to submit to these intrigues. In Poland three ukases of the Emperor Ni ' cholas have been carried into execution. The first assimilates the nobility of Russia and Courland to those of Poland ; the second changes the colour of the national uniform, dark blue, to Russian green. Only the functionaiies of some branches of the a dministration will preserve the ancient colour of their costume. The third grants retiring pensions to old soldiers. This is a great advantage to Polish officers, who have entered into the service of Russia after the Revolution ; but the same ukase deprives the Polish emigrants of the right of receiving the arrears of their pensions. The two first of these ukases have produced a strong sensation, because they tend evidently to annihilate the nationality of Poland. During the time of their being proclaimed and carried into execution, a great • number of Russian troops were assembled in Poland." MODE OF SUPPORTING THE POOR IN BELGIUM. Viscount Villain XIII, who has long been appointed Minister to Rome, has resigned his office as Governor of East Flanders. Before quitting Ghent, Viscount Villain addressed a circular to the different functionaries under his government, in which are some interesting details relatinc , to the operations of the charitable workshops (ateliers de charite) established in different parts of Flanders. He states that the number of these institutions amount to 43 —that the total prime cost of material and salary paid to the poor amounts to 176,378 E, and the same of manufac tured articles to 162,583 E, leaving a loss upon the whole of only 13,804 f. Thus, at the expense of 13,804 f., provi sion and employment have been given to 2,265 poor peo ple during the whole of the winter and part of the spring, and thus at the trifling expense of 6francs per person, forty three parishes have been rescued from the evils of mendicity, and a large body of poor creatures, who must otherwise have begged or starved, have been ac tively and usefully employed, and have had the means of supporting their families without other parochial relief. The letter adds that the average loss of six francs only arises from defective administration in some of the parishes, since it results that in 25 out of the 43, the loss has not ex ceeded two francs, and indeed in some of these has not been more than 80 centimes per person. In seven parishes the receipts nearly balance the expense, so that the poor have cost little or nothing ; and in four parishes the returns have' exceeded the expense, so as to leave a balance in the hands of the directors after supporting' all the poor. These are remarkable results, and are well worthy the attention of the philanthropists in England and, retand. For what can ne more praiseworthy, more advantageous or honourable to She community, than the establishment of institutions by which pauperism, idleness, and immorality are neutralised without expense, and by which a number of poor persons who would otherwise be thrown upon the public workhouse, or become burdens to the parish, are actively employed and encouraged in habits of industry and economy ? Viscount Villain earnestly recommends the establishment of similar workshops throughout the whole country. Were he able to effect his benevolent object, he would obtain one of the most important and most beneficial results ever effected in a ci vilized nation, and Belgium would present the phenomenon of a whole population purged, as it were, of idleness and pauperism. Whilst upon the subject, it may be observed, according to official statistical documents published by order of the Minister of the Interior, that the total gross amount of the revenues of hospitals, charitable establishments, and of the divers sums expended upon the poor amounted in 1833 to 11,647,000 francs, or about 285 francs per indivi dual. The number of poor in the provincial workhouses had been reduced from 3,454 in 1827 to 2,662 in 1833, a remarkable diminution, seeing that the population has in creased in an inverse ratio, having augmented from 3,800,000 in 1827 to 4,061,000 in 1833. The same documents state that the total number of persons receiving instruction at the various colleges, schools, and places of education of all deno minations amounted altogether to 353,342 in 1826, whereas in 18:33 the number of children attending the 5,229 primary schools alone exceeded 370,000. If the progress of edu cation has been great, the diminution of morality is not less striking, for one finds the number of foundlings (enfans trouves) to have amounted to 11,023 in 1823, whilst in 1833 they did not exceed 7,997. This is not a place to develop subjects of this kind, but the above ex envies will suffice to show that Belgium is making consi derable progress in those branches of administration and general morality which are the most essential to the well being of a nation. It must not be omitted to state that the tables in question give the population to the Ist of January, 1835, at 4,165,953 souls : the superficies of the soil at 3,420,570 hectares (each 2+ acres), of which 381,470 hectares, or about one-tenth, are uncultivated, not including more than 100,000 hectares, or 1-34th, of roads and canals. In France, the uncultivated land, out of a superficies of 52,570,000 hectares, amounts to 9,000,000, or one-sixth ; and the roads, canals, streets, &c., to 1,216,746, or one-fifth ; both of which show a remarkable balance in favor of Belgium. HOPE IS A GOOD BREAKFAST, BUT A BAD SUPPER.—The reader who is accustomed to breakfast upon more substantial stuff than Hope, will find it nearly as difficult of digestion in the morning, as in the evening, and will be apt to exclaim against any such new-fangled and airy innovation upon the al t of living. The proverb, nevertheless, holds true—" Hope is a good breakfast, but a bed supper." Its , effects on the constitution are diametrically opposite to those of opium, or any other similar drug. During the earlier part of the day, a very small portion proves deleterious, but more and more of it can be taken progressively. On the contrary, Hope may be administered in the largest doses in the forepart of the day ; but the capacity for receiving it gradually dimi nishes. It will be noticed, however, that we are speaking at present of the morning of life, which is not limited betwixt the usual hours of diurnal cock-crowing and noon. When Alex ander the Great took breakfast in Macedon, his goblets over flowed with Hope, and he quaffed them off in immense pota tions ; but he found the supper totally without nourishment, when he desired some worlds to conquer. So was it with Cmsar, after all his victories, when the fatal Ides of March had come. So it was with the Spanish Monarch when he resigned his crown and sceptre and power to his son. So it was with Napoleon, when a prisoner at St. Helena. So has it been, so shall it be, with other men, whether monarchs or mendicants. —Leamington Chronicle. SINGULAR EXPEDIENT TO OBTAIN A DINNER. —Monday at noon, a gentleman highly respectably dressed, his fingers ornamented with the most costly rings, and gold seals banging dependent from his waistcoat, entered a cele brated restaurateur's at the west end, and ordered a most sump tuous dinner. Venison, hare, turtle, and soups formed but a part of his expensive entertainment, and the waiter saw with delight joint after joint disappear, thinking, no doubt, to make an immense profit from the articles consumed. Two bottles of champagne were consecutively called for—brought—and drank ' • a fine melon was placed upon the table and disap peared: a basket of peaches shared the same fate, in short, there was searcely an article but what was produced, and hardly a luxury but what was consumed. The last bottle of champagne had, however, scarcely been drained, when a she riff's officer, accompanied by a policeman, entered the apart ment, and desired to know if his name was Thompson? and being answered in the affirmative, they immediately called a coach, into which he was forced, and in the hearing of the waiters ordered the coachman to drive to Bow-street, telling them at the same time, if they called at the office they should be paid whatever expenses the defaulter had incurred. But, upon inquiry at the Police Office, it was discovered to be a trumped up tale, and that the officer, policeman (who had no number upon his coat), and gentleman (?) were all confede rates belonging to the same party, and who, no doubt, as soon as they had left, would resume their purposes in another dis trict. The gentleman who demolished such a number of ar ticles is about five feet high, light-coloured hair; takes snuff, and speaks with a mincing accent. The town of Hull seems to be effectually rousing itself from its lethargy " like a giant refreshed with sleep and (pardon the pun in pursuing the quotation) shaking its mighty lochs." The meeting of the Hull and Selby railway proprie tors on Wednesday, speak volumes as to the awakening spirit of this town. Our streets arc already crowded with strangers, which the cheapness of steam conveyance brings from all quarters ; but what may we not expect to see when, with in creased docks and international communications, we shall po ssess the means of enjoying the whole of the export trade to the various ports of the continent, from Holland to the northermost point of Europe. By uniting the local advantages we enjoy to the projected communication with our iron, woollen, earthenware, lace, and hosiery districts, we shall offer to the countries bordering on the Baltic and the German Ocean the most direct and most commodious port for the transit of raw and manufactured produce in the united kingdom.—Hull Ad. vertizer. THE PROVINCIAL PRESS.—The following state ments relative to the political opinions of the provincial news papers in England are the result of a careful inquiry and exa mination he total number of provincial journals is 175, of which 100 are supporters of Liberal opinions, and 75 of the principles of the Tory party. Sixty provincial newspapers have an average circulation of 1,000 and upwards per week, viz., 37 Liberals and 23 Tory papers. These 37 Liberal papers have an aggregate circulation of 1,951 per week, or an aggregate circulation of 72,193. The average circulation of the 23 Tory papers is 1,374 per week, and the aggregate circulation is 31,606. Of the journals which have a weekly circulation of— Liberal. Tory. , 1,000 and under 1,200 there are 6 ...... 9 1,200 ditto 1,500 1,500 ditto 2,000 2,000 ditto 3,000 Above 3,000 4 The result, therefore, is, that taking the aggregate of the pro vincial papers, the proportion per cent. is 100 Liberal, 62 Tory. Proportion per cent. of the aggregate circulation of papers, publishing 1,000 copies and upwards per week, 100 Liberal, 431 Tory.— Tyne Mercury. VALUE OF LAND IN NORTH AMERICA. — During the last month nearly one million acres of land have been submitted to public auction in London, but with little success to the speculators. What is termed good land in the State of Virginia, near to navigable rivers, produced at the highest price only five shillings an acre. Last week one thou sand acres, on the banks of the Satilla river, in the State of ' Georgia, sold in one lot, for fifty pounds 1 In the territory of Texas only one shaltg the acre could be obtained. Great quantities in all the above-named regions remain on hand. CONSISTORY COURT-TUESDAY. WALKER V. WALKER. In this case, which is a suit for divorce by reason of adultery, and which has frequently been before the Court, the Judge intimated that the cause must be ready for hear ing upon the first day of next term. RICHARDS V. RICHARDS. this case, which is a suit for divorce by reason o f adultery, promoted by the wife against the husband, the party cited appeared this morning, and prayed to be admit ted to plead in forma pauperis. No opposition being offered, the usual oath was administered, and the prayer of the party acceded to. GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. Johnson, Monsah, and Abdallali, three men who formed part of the crew of the 74-gun ship sent as a present from the Imaum of Muscat to our King, were charged by Dunn, a sergeant of police, with having committed an assault on an old collegian. Dunn was on duty, on Saturday night last, in Church street, Greenwich, and hearing a disturb ance, he went to the spot, and found the prisoner now at the bar beating an old college man. He called another constable to assist him, and they seized Abdallali, who was the most violent, when Johnson, who did not take any part in the row, came up and took a stick from the hand of dallab. He and the other constable then took the fo reigners to the station-house. Johnson, who is the serang, a , tall and powerful man, possessing a most interesting countenance, stood at the bar with the other two prisoners, who were dressed in the In dian costume, and paid great attention to the evidence of Dunn. Upon being asked what they had to say to the charge, Johnson, in broken English, stated—l was walking down the street with Monsah and Abelallah, and an old man came behind us and made use of most disgusting expres sions in our language, and I turned round to reprove him, when it was repeated. I then pushed the old man off the pavement, when he struck at me and I called for the police. When the police came up we were taken into custody, and the old man got away. They did not wish to fight or make a bobbery in the street. The Englishman was tipsy. I said, " I will keep my men quiet, and if any man wished to fight I will call the police." Colonel FOREMAN, one of the magistrates, undertook to interpret for, and advise the prisoners. It was a most in teresting sight to witness the profound attention which they paid to the Colonel while he addressed them, and the eager ness of the serang to give answers to the various questions put, he being the spokesman for the other two. He defended himself in a most manly manner, and ap peared highly indignant at the disgusting expressions used by the old man, which bad led to their apprehension. After being cautioned as to their good behaviour during the short time they had to stay here, it being understood that they leave Deptford in the Prince Regent yacht on Saturday next, they were discharged, each of them in the oriental style making a profound salaam to the Colonel. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a young man, named John Dale, the son of Mr. Dale, an extensive carman in the borough of South wark, was summoned by Mr. Matcalf, cheesenionger, of the Minories, for cruelty to a horse. The complainant said that as he was passing along in Thames-street he saw the defendant lash his horse in the most unmerciful manner. The poor horse did all he could to get on, but the defendant, not content with witnessing its exertions, continued to strike with all his might ; at last the animal fell when it reached one of the arches, and lay for a minute or two. The conduct of the defendant, he most solemnly declared, was the most brutal he had ever beheld, and he accordingly mentioned to that person that the Lord Mayor should decide whether such barbarity should be sanctioned in the city of London. The LORD MAyon—What can you say in your defence ? Defendant—l never treat my horse cruelly, and on that occasion I merely gave him three lashes because he required to be beaten. He happened, as is frequently the case, to fall upon his side. The LORD MAYOR—I fine you twenty shillings for this cruelty. The defendant's father, who much regretted the cause of complaint, immediately paid the fine. A man of decent appearance and good character, named llicaers, was brought up by a constable of Portsoken ward, charged with having assaulted a gentleman. The officer said that the gentleman, who was not sober when he charged the defendant, stated that Waters had struck him on account of two women who had insulted him in the street. Witness, although he knew that the de fendant was a man of good character, and would be forth coming, locked him up, and the gentleman had not thought proper to attend to make good the charge. The Loan MAYOR—Was the defendant sober? Officer —As sober as he is now. The LORD MAYOR—And how could you think of lock ing up a sober and respectable man, whom you knew to be such, upon the representation of a drunken one ? The Officer—The g entleman was not drunk. The LORD MAYOR—Was he tipsy, then ? The Officer —No, not to say tipsy. The Loan MAI - on—What do you call his condition in your abundant vocabulary ? Was he sprung ? The Officer —No, not exactly sprung, but he appeared to be fresh.— (Laughter.) He certainly was not sober. ' The LORD MAYOR—I think I had occasion to censure your conduct before, had I not, for letting a man go whom you ought to have detained ? The Officer—Yes, my Lord, and that was the very reason that I was deter mined to lock this man up.—(Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, you certainly are a man of discrimination, and I wish the ward joy of you. The defendant assured the Lord Mayor that he was quite blameless, and had merely acted in defence of his wife and another female, whom the gentleman had thought proper to insult in the street. He had given the persons warning not to repeat his misconduct, but the answer he received was a poke and a blow of an umbrella. The blow he received upon his arm, and with the other he thought it was time to strike to prevent anything more disagreeable. The LORD MAYOR—Did he strike your wife? The Defendant—No doubt of it ; she is here to answer for herself. The LORD MAYOR—Take a summons for him to ap pear before me for the assault on your wife, and bring an action against him f or f a l se i m p r i sonmen t. The officer said that the gentleman was a person of high respectability. " So much the better," said the LORD MAYOR, and is sued the summons. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William Blackburn was again brought before Mr. Alderma❑ KELLY for re-examination, charged with ad ministering sonic tincture of cantharides to Hannah Mary, the daughter of Mr. Turner, a notary. At the previous hearing the father explained the nature of the charge. The daughter, accompanied by her mother, now attended to give evidence. She is a good-looking girl, about 17 years of age. She was apprenticed to Mrs. Blackburn, the prisoner's wife, to learn the art of embroidering, about six weeks ago, and she worked at her house in Fetter-lane. About a fort night after she had been there, the prisoner attempted to kiss her. She immediately called to another apprentice, and asked him how he dared to take such a liberty. He desisted, saying she was as great a fool and spitfire as her mistress. Since then he had several times tried to make her mistress scold her for nothing by saying she was talk ing. After breakfast on Wednesday morning the pri soner brought a vial of liquid, and said he had some stuff that would do her cough good. He poured out some into a tea cup, which she drank, but it was so strong it took her breath away, and she asked him to get her some water. He gave her some and she drank plentifully. It soon pro duced on agony which continued all day, and which forced her to tell some of the other girls, who mentioned it to her mistress. She had asked him the name of the stuff, but he refused to tell her, and made her hurry to wash out the cup, bidding her not let her mistress know anything of it, as she would think he was making too much of her. She observed where he, placed the bottle, and when her mistress heard of it, they searched his drawers, and found the bottle, above half full of the liquid, secreted in a stocking. Her mistress sent it to a chemist, to learn whet it was, and received word that it was tincture of colchicum, though labelled tincture of cantharides. When Mrs. Black burn taxed her husband with administering poison to tvitness, he flew into a great rage, and attempted to beat her, but a young woman interposed. Shortly afterwards he renewed his attempt to beat his wife, but witness threw herself between them, thinking it was of little consequence whether she was killed by a blow or died of the poison a few hours afterwards, which was the result she anticipated. Louisa Sherry, aged 17, said the prisoner took some s li g ht liberties with her when she first %vent to work for Mrs. ! Blackburn. Two or three days before the above affair oc curred she found some liquid having the same smell as the contents of the bottle floating on the top of some treacle, which the young ladies used at dinner time. Richard Winpenny, of 27 Fetter-lane, accoucheur, had attended Mrs. Blackburn for two years past, and knew the prisoner. About a week ago he served the prisoner with rather better than an ounce of tincture of cantharides. Knowing him he should have served him with two ounces of laudanum if he had asked for it. Supposed the cantha rides was for his own use, and merely directed that two tea spoonfuls was a dose for him, and that it must be taken in water or tea. It is used medicinally, and he has several patients taking doses of it three times a day. From his knowledge of the prisoner's circumstances, he supposed he might have occasion to use it. It is not a remedy for a cough, and is sometimes used for improper purposes. Had thought for the last nine months there was something odd in the prisoner's manners. He talked incoherently. Mr. Alderman KELLY expressed his surprise that with this knowledge of the prisoner, he had spoken of trusting ing him with large quantities of laudanum. Mr. Winpenny begged to be understood as meaning that the prisoner was in his right senses, but eccentric. Mrs. Blackburn believed her husband had received some injury on the head when at sea. The prisoner was remanded till Friday. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Yesterday a woman about 40 years of age came before Mr.. CHAMBERS, to ask him to procure her some relief to prevent her from perishing in the streets. The applicant reminded Mr. CHAMBERS that a short time ago she had made a similar application to him, and on stating that her place of settlement was at Hordingston, near Northampton, she was desired to apply to St. Giles's parish for some tem porary assistance, and then to make the best of her way to her parish. Actiiiron that advice she had gone to St. Giles's, and as she had no claim on that parish she only received a loaf of bread. With this slender pro vision she proceeded to Hordingston, and having, after much suffering-, reached that place, she went to the house of one of the overseers, and asked to be admitted into the workhouse. The overseer blamed her for coming to the parish, and told her she must go back agai❑ to London, and get regularly passed, or she could not be taken into the workhouse. The overseer then gave her eighteenpence, and desired her to return immediately to Lon don. She had done as requested, and being now in a starv ing and shelterless condition, without knowing how to pro ceed in order to get a parish to pass her back, he had come to the office to implore assistance. Mr. CHAMBERS—Why should a strong healthy woman like you want to obtain admission into the workhouse ? Applicant—l am willing to work if I could, but I have a bad leg, and I am hardly able to crawl about. Mr. CHAMBERS—You should go into an hospital and get it cured. Applicant—l have been in the hospital, and after staying there some time I was told it could not be cured. Mr. CHAMBERS—You say you only had a loaf given you by St. Giles's, how did you contrive to reach Hordingston ? Applicant—l was told I might beg on the way, and I did so ; but I don't know what I should have done had not some kind person given me a shilling. Mr. CHAMBERS—How do you know you belong to Hor dingston ? Applicant—l belong to that parish by mar riage. My husband lived there nearly all his life ; he was a farmer's labourer, and worked on the farm of a relation. Mr. CHAMBERS—My poor woman, I have no power what ever to assist you. You must make your way hack to Hordingston. Applicant (bursting into tears)—How am Ito get there? My leg is so bad I can scarcely put it to the ground, and I have no shoes.—(The applicant held up one of her feet, which had a piece of a shoe tied on it.) Mr. CHAMBERS—I will give you a shilling out of the poor-box, and then my power to serve you ends. The shilling was then handed to the woman, and she then limped away. HATTON-GARDEN. Last night, a respectable looking man, about thirty-two years of age, was brought before Mr. LAING, by George Court, of No. 52. G division, charged with creating a dis turbance in Leather-lane, Holborn. Court saw the prisoner haranguing upwards of two hun dred persons, saying that he had a donkey, and had paid 801. for it. Mr. LAING asked the prisoner, who was much excited, and covered with mud, who and what he was ? He re plied with an affecting air of dignity, " I am a special pleader." He was passing through Leather-lane, when a person called after him, " Who stole the donkey ?" The fact was, about nine years ago he was elected one of the Coroners for the county of Kent, and he led a donkey into a room with ribbons, as an electioneering squib ; and such an attack excited him, and he thrashed the person who hooted after him, and was explaining the case when the po liceman took him into custody. Mr. LAING—Ho►v long have you ceased to be Coroner? Prisoner—Three years. Mr. LAING—What caused you to leave it ? Prisoner (hesitating)—Because my grandfather died and left me ten thousand pounds, and it was my ambition to become a spe cial pleader. Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live? Prisoner—At N 0.7, Claremont-place, Burton-crescent. Mr. LAING—For what division of the county of Kent were you Coroner ? Prisoner—Len, nine miles from Maidstone. Mr. LAING—If you are what you describe yourself to be, it would bare been better for you to have passed along and gone to your residence. You cut a very sorry appear ance before me. Prisoner—Well I may after being dragged about (lifting up his leg) and covered with mud. The prisoner begged to cross-examine the witness, and placing himself in a " special pleading attitude," he did so in a most eccentric manner, and caused an impression that he had been drinking, or was otherwise excited. Mr. LAING said his conduct before him caused a belief that the constable had stated the truth, and that if he suffered him to depart without security he would probably be brought before him again. Prisoner—l gave the fellow a sound thrashing, and I could go home to my wife and six children, who are waiting anxiously for my return. I was on my road to Mr. Chitt)'s when I was insulted. Mr. LAING-If you leave here, 1 should advise you to go to the county of Kent as soon as possible, or return to your wife and six children, whom you ought to have thought of before. Prisoner—l always think of them—they arc nearest and dearest to my heart. He was ordered to find bail. When the officers were leading him towards the door, he vociferated in a loud strain against Mr. Laing, and asked him for his Christian name, saying, that as he had adopted that severe coarse against him, he was determined to bring his action. He was then taken outside, where he strutted backwards and forwards exclaiming against the Magistrates and officers. Mr. LAING doubted very much whether he was what he represented himself to be. He intended letting him off scot free, but as he had threatened him with an action, he would gratify his whim, and he ordered the clerk to take down the evidence of the officer—which was done. Robert Graves, a tall, athletic " man o' wars man," was brought from the station-house, charged by Henry Wyatt , a cabriolet driver, of 4, Union;court, Leather-lane, Holbo rn, with having attempted to pass off a bad shilling. The complainant, on Monday night last, was called ,off the stand in Holborn by the prisoner, who o rdere d u r m to John-street, Smithfield, where he handed h im a shi ing, which he discovered to be a bad one, and he gave him into custody. A constable produced the shilling, and found two silver medals and 41,-d. in his pockets, together with a short pipe and tobacco-box, and some ‘) xi Mr. LAING—WeII, what have y ou to say ?—how did you get this shilling ?—Prisoner (rubbing his head)—Bless your Honour, I know no more than you 3 do ; top-heavy, and I suppose I had been a drinking, and that was the last shot in the locker. Mr. LAlNG—Anybody could tell that it is a bad one. Prisoner —Very lik e ly, your Honour ; but, d'ye see, I didn't look at it, and being muzzy it was planted on me. I sartainly did take the coach, and gaNe the shil ling, but that's not the way I lives. Look at my hands, your Honour (they were certainly hard and horny, and had the hue of tar.) Mr. LAING—Is there anybody rho knows you ?—Pri soncr—Why, yes, your Honour, the re i s an o ld l a dy w h o lives alongside 0- me—if you ca ll M rs . C or b ett — Mrs. Corbett, an e ld er l y d ame, sa id s h e k new M r . Graves ; who follow e d t h e water as a profession. Prisoner—Y es , 3 our llonour, and never had a stain on my character in all my life. Mrs. Corbett said he bad a small cottage next to hers, and a more honest fellow never lived in Mile-end. Mr. LAING---I should advise VOll to be cautious in fu ture, and look at your money. You are discharged, but you must pay the cabman. This having been done by Mrs. Corbett, the sailor Ann Stacey (who appeared in the witness-box with her right eye much swollen) resided with her husband at No. 14, Charlotte -street, Middlesex Hospital, and on the previous evening, about eight o'clock, she stopped against a post in Goodge-street to speak to a friend, and had not been there many minutes before the prisoner Billinghurst came suddenly round in front of her and lifted up her clothes to :a considerable height ; she immediately told him that he was a good-for-nothing fellow, but had no sooner uttered the words than the other prisoner Bonner (both of them at the time very drunk) struck her two des perate blows on the eye, and applied towards her the most abusive and abominable language. Complainant concluded by stating that Bonnor was in the act of attempting to strike her or.,the body, when she fortunately got away from him and took refuge in a fishmonger's shop close by ; she quickly gave information of the outrage to the police, by whom the prisoners were in a short time apprehended. Mr. RAWLINSON, aaer commenting in severe terms upon the unmanly and brutal nature of their conduct, or dered each to pay a fine of 505., or be imprisoned for a month. A POLICEMAN'S BLUNDER.—On Monday a working man, named Brown, was brought before the Magistrates by a constable of the S division, charged as follows : The constable was on duty in Somers' 'Town on the pre vious day, when he saw the prisoner amusing a mob of people, by addressing them in the French language. As lie was drunk, a n d re f use d to des i st, he took hiin, to the sta tion-house. Mr. RAWLINSON—What do you mean by creating a mob by talking French in the streets ? Prisoner—Me talk French! Lord love your Honour--I know nothing about that 'ere lingo—l only talks in my own vulgar tongue. Mr. RAWLINSON—You were talking drunken English I suppose, which the policeman, not being a professor of lan guages, mistook for French. Prisoner (smiling)—l suppose it must have been so. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, you are discharged, but don't mislead the police by talking drunken English again. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. A young woman, endowed with considerable personal at tractions, who gave her name Jane Hatfield, was charcied before Mr. BURRELL with a robbery at the shop of Mr. Munting, bookseller, Chaleroft-terrace, Lambeth. John Deprose, the shopman of Mr. Munting, deposed that the prisoner came into the shop, and asked to see Shakspeare's works, stating at the same time that she had a most ardent love for poetry. The volumes were shown to her, and she then said that having a penchant for the stage, she wished to see Cumberland's edition of the British and Minor Theatres, in addition to which she also requested to be allowed to look at Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The whole of the works were shown to her, but she left the shop without, making a purchase, stating that she had not sufficient money about her. Upon her leaving, it was discovered that one of the volumes of Chaucer was missing, and upon her being searched the volume was found in her possession. Police constable. Fuller, 106 L, into whose custody the prisoner had been given, stated that upon their arrival at the station-house, she said that she was a literary lady, and had only taken the book to study it, and that she was sure the young man would not prosecute in consequence of his knowing her. Mr. BURRELL (to the shopman)—Do you know the prisoner, Sir? Deprose—l have seen her before. Mr. BURRELL (to the prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner—The young man knows me—in fact, he has been paying his addresses to me, and he knows that I am exceedingly fond of reading : I only took the book by way of a joke, and did not expect to be prosecuted. Mr. BuitaELL—Well, I must commit you for trial, and at. the Surrey sessions the case will be fully investigated. The prisoner, who was greatly affected, and who did not appear to have anticipated such a decision, was then removed from the bar. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Thomas Graves, a respectable looking man, was charged with assaulting his wife. The wife, who exhibited a bruise on the side of her jaw, was subjected to very ill-treatment at the hands of her hus band, who had, for some time past, indulged in habits of intoxication. When sober he was one or the most quiet and inoffensive men that a woman could possibly wish to have for a partner, but when in his cups he was a brute to her, and thought nothing of knocking her about like a bul lock. By her industry, and that alone, she kept their busi ness together! Yet he still resorted to the beer-shop, and spent all that he could lay his hands upon to satisfy the cravings of his appetite for beer and tobacco. In fact he was never in his element now except when he was behind a pot of beer, and a pipe stuck in his mouth, blowing a cloud ; and, if be went on at this rate, neglecting his busi ness, it must, she added, end in their utter destruction. MAGISTRATE—Conic to the assault« Was ho that gave you the blow which has marked your face ? Wife—lt was, Sir ; he dragged me out of bed when he was drunk, anti struck me in the jaw. Defendant here exclaimed, " She wants to wear the breeches, your Worship, but I won't stand it, and that annoys her." MAGISTRATE-But why do you get drunk ? Defen dant—She drives me to the public-house by ber conduct. I can't keep a farthing in my possession. If I happen to have any money she get's out of bed %when I'm asleep, searches my pockets, and leaves me without a shilling. No man that has the spirit of a man can put up with this. MAGISTRATE—Her object is to keep you from spending it in liquor, and under such circumstances she is justi fied in preventing you from squandering away all your substance. The wife here said, that she had another grave accusa tion to bring against her husband. She then enumerated that he had formerly a penchant for another female, whom she (the wile) bad taken into their house out of motives of charity. The defendant denied the imputation, and said that jea lousy was the ground work of the complaint. The MAGISTRATE said that under the circumstances, he should the defendant to bail to keep the peace.

From Messrs. Colley and Hill was exhibited a box of figs, produced from a tree forty years old ; and from the Rev. Mr. Cobbold a dish of apples preserved in sawdust from the autumn of last year. Amongst the flowers was a new species of mecuna, producing more than than fifty spikes or racines of 20 inches long, the plant ex tending over an area of 300 square feet of glass, from Mr. Perkins, and a specimen of bignonia grandiflora from Mrs. Marryat. There was exhibited from Mr. Rowland's, of Chester, some specimens of wire of a very pliable descrip tion, useful in tying up plants ; and from the Hon. Mr. Strangeways an interesting collection of flowers. The specimens front the gardens were not very numerous, but included a melon grown in water, according to the cultiva tion of this fruit in Cashmere, and which had proved toler ably successful, notwithstanding the abundance of foliage that had been produced.
