power to turn them out. He then left, and in shoat three !
minutes returned with greater violence, and said, " I come
to give you notice, madam, that you must vacate the draw.

he said, " Where you please." He then lifted up has hand '
and beet his ir her face in a menacing meaner.—Mrs.
Harvey tried to pscify him. Witness expected he would strike I
her and she was in continual fear trona the st deuce with which
he behaved after the superintendent hot delivered the sum-

Mr. and Mrs. Its ,he then corroborated a great
part of Mae. Hervey's evidence. He had no hesitation in
saying that no one was see in the hnuse with Dlr. Jee.
The bench fined Mr. Jee 51. and the expenses, and bound

at the police-station and paid the tine of 51. It was
then supp the rev. gent'eman, who is 71 yawed' age,
was accompan,ed by leveret of his principal parishioner,

SOTTIT!A3IPTON AN EMIGH.ITI,IN PORT. —We
(Hants Ind pendent) have greet saisfection in being able
to state that there is good reason to expect that the system of '
embarking emigrants in the Thames will shortly is. aban-
doned, and that the now very extensive eestem ofernigratiou
which government is condectiog to all the Australian colo-
nies, the Cape of Good Hope, eke. will he managed on the
pfinciple of putting the emigrants on board at this port
(Southampton) to the it of several thousands annually.
This would contribute to the security end ceenfirrt of the
emigrants, by avoidirg the nitvisration, with ell its hazards
and annoyances, between this them a ml. tee Isle of Wight.

morsel of go-Ain appears in the Bristol papers of Saturday
" A noted hird-fsncier, living in the neighbourhood of ike
Great Western terminus in Bris-01, lately reared a penal d
uncommon beauty, and troreeeer et a disposition to talk.
Poll was duly instructed, and, as will be seen in the
sequel, in time more than repaid her tutor for the pains be
had taken. Her teacher was so much pleased with Poll's
progress that he determined to present her at court, and
she was accordingly started upon the journey. Poll, upon
her arrival, was somewhat abashed at the new ennui of
splendour in which she found herself, and exhibited is
unwonted uncouthness, and would not speak to any one.
At length, however, she was introduced to the Queen, who,
struck with the beautiful plumage and fine symmetry of the
newly-arrived guest, entered with great condescension into
conversation with her. Poll's shyness w off, and before
the Queen left lisr she s.rd " U you don't send twenty
pounds I'll gs buck." The Qtlecri impir..d to whom she
was indebted tar this new acquoition to her aviary, ascer-
tained the circumstances cs with the affair, and
gave orders for ,he transmission of 201. to the tearer of Poll,
who accordingly was paid that sum a tew days since at the
West of England Bank in this etty—an inducement to all
teachers to impart profitable instraction to their pupils."
