had left it in disgust, and returned home to her father, now
mid she was full of trouble, and in the way of herself and
ether people in this world, and she inducted an intention to
get rid of life as soon as she could. Mr. Broughton remanded
her for a week; and having highly eulogised the humane
courage of the Jong man Unwin, who had saved her
life, told him that if he attended at the time named he
would receive a recommendatory ticket to the Royal Hu-
mane Society.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Mr. James Fletcher was
summoned before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
attempted to forest his way into the Serpentine Bathing
Tent, in Hyde-park, and also with having assaulted Thomas
King, one of the attendants. Thomas King raid the
defendant on Friday attempted to force his way into the
tent, but not being a subscriber, witness attempted to prevent
his intrusion. The defendant then rushed at him, and butted
him with his bead on the chest, and nearly knocked him
down. Defendant then said if he attempted to prevent
him from entering the tent again he would throw him in
the water, and would see how he liked that. This
was the assault complained of. Mr. Frank Baker, of
Burlington-arcade, said he did not see the assault on
the porter, but he saw the defendant attempt to force
himself violently into the space appropriated to the club.
Mr. Hardwick asked how many subscribers belonged to
to this Serpentine Bathing Tent ? The secretary stated that
the club consisted of about thirty-seven members. They
had the permission of Lord Morpeth to erect this tent, and
they had also Lord Morpeth's patronage. Mr. Fletcher
said be had been a bather in the Serpentine for the last three
year', and had always been accustomed to plunge from the
only practicable place on the banks of the Serpentine. Re-
cently, however, the club bad, in addition to the tent, erected
a canvass well, which entirely shut out the public from the
edvantsge of the plunging place which bathers had hitherto
enjoyed. There wee no intention to enter the tent on his
part all he desired was to enjoy the same advantage he had
for the last three Tean enjoyed, and he merely pushed aside
the commas wall, in order to take his usual plunge. The
secretary contended that permission had been given to the
club by the proper authorities to do what they had
dons. The defendant said he did not see why the society
should compel him to pay a guinea for that which be
conceived, es one of the public, he had a free right to. He
was quite sure that Lord Morpeth would never give his
sanction to this encroachment on the part of the Serpentine
Club, if he was aware of the fact —Mr. Hardwick said, if the
Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests chose to give
permission to a party of gentlemen to use a particular part of
the banks of the river, he had a perfect right to do so, and
the public must consider itself excluded from that selected
part. But he was certain of this, that Lord Morpeth would
allow a club no advantage that operated unfairly on the
public. A gentleman in court said there was no objection
raised to the erection of the tent, the only objection was the
erection of the canvass wall, which the club had chosen to
put up recently. As for the club itself, it was mostly composed
of persons in an inferior rank in life, such as butchers and
gentlemen's servants—all, no doubt, well conducted persons,
but certainly not of a class entitled to any exclusive
privileges. It was hardly fair for the club to exclude the
public from the only practicable part of the banks of the
river. Mr. Hardwick said he at first thought that the de-
fendant bad attempted to force himself into the tent ; but
the evidence allowed that there was no disposition of that
sort entertained. It was natural that prisons should feel
themselves annoyed if they were excluded from the only part
in which there was no deep water; and it was hardly fair,
whatever privileges the club might have obtained from Lord
Morpeth, that the club should take up all this space. After
some conversation it was agreed that the space, which was
only 20 feet in extent, should be divided between the public
and the club. A gentleman tamed Mr. O'Leary, who said he
had bathed unmolested in that part of the Serpentine for the
last 20 yeah, but who had been deprived of this privilege by
the ciub, gave it as his opinion that Lord Morpeth had no
authority to give the clu b the permission they claimed to enjoy.
He believed such privilege could only be given by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who was ranger of
the park. The secretary said the club would carry the case
into a court of law if this point was insisted upon. Mr.
Hardwick said it was not necessary to enter into this ques-
tion now. He wished to know the exact nature of the privi-
leges conceded by Lord Morpeth to the club. The secretary
could not give any clear answer, but said he would memo-
rialise Lord Morpeth on the subject. Mr. Hardwick said it
was indispensable to get this definition, as there was a very
great difference between a permission to erect a tent for the
convenience of dressing and undressing, and erecting a wall
to shut out the public from the only available spot on the
banks of the river. The summons was dismissed, it being
understood that an appeal to Lord Morpeth would be made
by both parties to decide the question of privilege.

CLERICENWELL.—.& PARISH DEPAIILTIR.—Thomas
Truman, late a collector of poor-rates for the parish of St.
Andrew, Holborn, yesterday underwent a third and final
examination. The amused was about five weeks ago found
to be a defaulter in his accounts with the guardians of the
poor, to the amount of 4461. 16s. Id., but it would seem that
in consequence of his having been a very old and respected
inhabitant of the district, and a collector of its rates for more
than twenty years, and no error in his balance-sheet having
previously been detected, a merciful view was taken of his
unfortunate cue, on his offering to give a judgment in favour
of the parish, added to which, one of his sureties, Mr. D.
Buckle, appraiser, Saffron-hill. for 3001., was knoww to be
rod for that amount. Subsequently to that arrangement,
it bad been discovered that Ins d Mala Wons were far more

considerable, probably double the amount condoned in a
criminal point of view, sod the ratepayers insisting on pro-
ceedings being taken, the board of guardians bad instituted
the present prosecution. Several cases were proved
the prisoner.—Mr. Wontner, the prisoner's legal 2viaiensert,
said that as the worthy magistrate had made up is mind to
send his client before & jury, be would reserve his defence,
but he hoped bail would be taken Ors his appearance at the
Old Bailey.—Mr. Tyrwhitt, alter seem halation, consented
to take two sureties to the sweet of 3001., on condition
that forty-eight bean' nodes ahoy be given to ascertain if
they were solvent. —The prima we that sent to Newest*.

MONEY MARKET.
thiIIRDLY Evawnco.
The completion of the Exchequer-bill operation,
with so few and unimportant dissentients, as anaounced
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last evening,
afforded much satisfaction in the monied and Stock-
Exchange circles this morning. Substantially the
result wee anticipated in the remarks under this head
this morning, upon information derived from quarters
not likely to be mistaken. The now confirmed
renewal for 12 months of a mass of floating values to
the extent nearly of the whole nine millions, and
more falling due, and pressing on the market, must
be felt as a great and seasonable relief both to
the government and the Bank. To the former,
because it would have been impossible to have
dealt with any large amount, if sent in marked for
payment, except at the cost of very discreditable
sacrifices, accompanied with a derangement of stock
and money affairs, the extent of which in actual con-
ditions it would be difficult to estimate. To the latter,
because it would have been called upon for assistance,
which could not be refused, at the moment when
=gaged otherwise in a struggle with adverse decam-
etre's's for the maintenance of its own, and of public
sad private credit as well: The time, moreover, was
appremehing when the Bank would be called
apply too much unfortunately in the usual
comm, to advance money to the government
for the payment of the July dividends. It would
scarcely have seemed creditable to make such ad-
vances on exchequer deficiency bills, representing pro
Mato • failing revenue, when the more sterling ex-
chequer values in circulation, under the sanction of
acts of parliament, were either labouring under heavy
