How IT Din HAPPIIN.—Iire. Alice Aspinall, (a very
handsome lady) the proprietress of a grocery and provision
store at 74 Warwick-street, charged a person named
Andrew Gibbon (apparently a respectable mechanic) for
threatening and annoying her. It appeared that the pri-
soner was drunk, and whilst in that state he went to the
shop and created a disturbance and called the complainant
a variety of nasty names, and otherwise mis-conducted
hitaielf. The officer who had charge of the case witnessed
part of the prisoners conduct. Prisoner (to Mrs. Aspinall)
" had we not half-a-pint of whiskey together, and in a
back-house? " Not at all, its false; every tine he gets
drunk he comes and annoys me." Prisoner—" No its all
spite on account of my keeping company with your sister."
Mrs Aspinall—" I have nothing to do with that, I want
to be protected from your annoyance." Prisoner—" Oh,
its all very well, but you know the officer there can go into
the bask-house and sm- ke his pipe comfortably with you."
Mrs. Aspinall—"That's a daring falsehood. The prisoner
was Ined 5s and costs.

Tan An-a-ENmugs or Mae. GAYMOND —A. superiorly
dressed female, who gave the name of Mary Gaymond,
and said she WAS a boarding-house keeper, living at No
12, Winlniill-street, Manchester, was brought up under
the following circumstances :—Mr. Legg, the keeper of
Rose-hill Beidewell, sad the prisoner came to the station
with another female, whom she charged with having
stolen her g )13 watch and chain, and a brooch containing
the portrait of a gentleman. She was very drunk at the
time, and on investigating the case, he had reason to think
there was no foundation for the charge. Seeing she was
very drunk, and not able to take care of herself, he deemed
it right to lock her up for safety, and on searching her, the
watch and chain were found in her pocket, and also .C 4 153
in cash. The brooch was picked up in the street by a
boy. The prisoner said she came from Manchester with a
gentleman, and unfortunately she got too much beer. The
woman whom she charged she met in a public-house, and
finding her fumbling at her pocket, and missing the watch
and chain, she imagined the woman had taken them. His
Worship fined the prisoner 53 fir being drunk, which she
paid, and then George Thompson, " her companion," was
charged with having assaulted a railway official at
Tithebarn street. He was drunk, and when the officer
wanted him to leave, he as=aulted him. The portrait
found with Mrs Gaymond was a fine likeness of this
gent'eman," who appeared respectable. He was fined
£1 for the assault, which he paid, and left in company of
Mrs. Gaymond.
PUBLICANS AND BC?ItSELLECi. —Edward Roberts, of
William-street, off Great Howard-street, was summoned
by the police, for having refused them admission to his
house on Sunday last. Mr. Rymer appeared for the defen-
dant. ald by the evidence of the bar-maid, clearly showed
that the parties in the house were not aware that it was
the police who were present. The case was dismissed
Henry Easthetn, of Pownell-square, was summoned for
keeping his house open beyond the prescribed hour on
Saturday n gh*. Mr. Snowball, admitted the fact, and
alleged as an eactne 'that the manager, (the house
belong:ng to Mr Walter,) had made a mistake, as the
clock was not right at the time. Fined ten shillings
and costs.

Several beerhouse keepers were fined for Sunday trading,
but none of the cases were of any public interest.

LATr STORM IN WALES.—Previously to the violent
storm on Thursday week, all the growing crops were
in a highly srisfactory condition, but the injury done
war, in many places, of a very serious character. The
wheat was beaten down considerably, and several 6 Ids
which had been cut, but not hauled, have received con•
siderable damage. A farm, with the outbuildings, near
Caerphilly, in Monmouthshire, was struck by lightning
and burnt to the ground. B,?veral cattle were killed in
other parts, end much loss of property has ensued. A
few days of fine sy,ather since have repaired the mischief
done to the crops in a great measure.
THR DICER FORESTS.—If the moors awe not whet they
have been, the forests are full of deer, fatter and carrying
larger antlers than for many years past. Some stags have
been seen with their heads clear of velvet, which seldom
takes place till abut the let of September. About a
fortnight ego three splendid stags we'e shot at G'en
Dibidale Forest, by Mr. E 'ward Rose, two of them right
and left shots, one royal, the other with ten tines. The
roysi stag weighed, when perfectly clean, 20st. 4'b. ; the
other, 15st. 911). The top', on ore set of antlers were 1 lin.,
9in , and hie.; on the other 10110., Bin., and Bin. The
first was shot at 110 yards, the other galloping at 130
yards distance. Two each shots ace seldom made by the
most experienced deerstalker, and in this c ise it is the more
remarkable as the gentlemen who handed the ri tie so well
is only 16 years of age We have seen two beautiful photo-
graphs of the two stags as they fell, tak -n by his father,
Mr. Horatio ROB 3. Oihar two stags have since been shot
in the same forest by Mr. Horatio R. )ss, one weighing
15st. 91b , the other 12st. 101 b. Colonel Inv had a deer-
stalking party at Glencinicett last week, when several fine
stags were shot ; one of their heads sent for p eservation
has royal antlers. Some large saga have been sent down
from Glen Strathfarar, which were shot by Lord Lovat ;
and a very good head has been sent down from Glenma.eran
—the stag shot by Mr. John Fowler, being amongst the
first shots fi-ei since ho purchased the property.—lnver-
ness Courier. •

A MILITARY ESCAPADE —When a single man (M. le
Victe. de —), being an officer in the Garde Royale, be
was always aux, arrets for some freak or act of insubordi-
nation. He was extremely quarrelsome, and fouglet
innumerable duels, and frequently killed his antagonist.
At one period, during the Restoration, he was quartered
with his regiment, the Gerdes du Corps, at the barracks
at Versailles, and b-ing refused leave of absence by his
Colonel to pass the night in Paris, be dressed himself in
woman's clothes, mounted his horse, and in that disguise
escaped observation. On the following morning he
returned in the same dress, anxious to be ready in good
time for the field day of his regiment already draen up
and executing their inarmuvres, as the orders' had, in the
interim, been given to asszmble an hour earlier than usual.
He immediately put spurs to his horse, and, arriving on
the ground, borrowed a a tore from the lierechal des logic,
and placed himself, in this whimsical attire, at the head
of his peloton. Ha was obliged to leave the regiment,
and afterwards marriel, when he became a steady char-
acter.—A Portion of the Journal of T. Raikes, Esq.
CHARGE OP LIB,LLING THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OP
THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—At Marlborough
street Police-court, London, on Thursday, Mr. Wm.
Diamond Evans, of Beech-lane, City, and Captain Thorp,
N e 11, Pall M a
all, appeared before Mr. Beadon to
semmees in which they were charged that they, on the Bth
of August, did unlawfully publish a certain libel that, as
he saw a letter ad tressed to the editor of the Times, contain-
ing libellous and defemetot y words and sentences relating
to the Honourable F. W. Cedog.n, Deputy Caairmen, and
one of the managers of the Submarine Telegraph Company,
Nn. 30, Cornhill, and also that on the said day thee
did threaten to publish the said libel, and that on the said
day they did off-T to prevent the publication of the said
letter castaining matters touching he said Honourable
F. W. Cadogan, with intent to extor: money from him,
and that they did there combine, conspire, co-operate and
at to injure the said Hon. F. W. Cadogan. After
h arias the evidence of the Hon. F. W. Cadogan and
otters, Beadon decided that it was a case to go before
a jury, and the defendants were held to hail, th,mselves
severally in £3OO, and two s !reties, each in £l3O, to

Tue HOP SE/LiON.—F orn Canterbury, wa learn that
the imp-ovemeet in the hops during the last week has
been all that could possibly be exp-aeted, considering :h=
blighted state many of the grounds were in. The produce
per acre, winch did net at one time look more than two
cwt., bids fair to exceed on an average thtee cwt There
is no doubt that ficeing will be fully a week earlier than
last year ; in fact there are portions of some of the
grounds in this ne,ghbourh ,oul, which will be ready in
another week or ten days. In It Ist Relo,d the hop crop
promises to be large and excellent in this district. It
Nritto!) it is competed th they are like!), to yield a ten
per ,cce. F orn Worcester, we hear that tne late growing
weather has peened forward the burr, and the hops are
now stowing very large, so that picking will sort he
thought of, probably earlier than usual. In another for--
n;ght or three weeks, with fine weather, lie p'en'atioes
will present a g'ori els sight of ahwelance. 'Ph Woreee
ter duty is new estimated at ir rn £2B 001 to £3O 000.
